  • Activities for kids: Families love the playground and activities at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA. A parent mentioned, "There was so much to do there: a pool, lake, horseshoes, cornhole, playground, big pillow and even more."

What you should know:

  • Limited amenities: Some campgrounds, like Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest, have basic facilities. A camper noted, "The bathrooms are the typical old NJ state park set up - it does the job but it’s seen better days."
  • Bugs in summer: Be prepared for bugs, especially in warmer months at Bass River State Forest. One visitor said, "There were many bugs and many of them got in my tent as I forgot to zip the door after setting it up."
  • Road noise: Some sites may have road noise, particularly at Cheesequake State Park Campground. A camper mentioned, "While the campsite is fairly well protected from highway noise, you're still going to hear it at least a little."

  • Pack outdoor games: Bring along games for the kids to play outside. A parent at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA mentioned, "There was so much to do there."

Tips from RVers:

  • Check site sizes: Make sure your RV fits the site. A visitor at Mountainview Campground said, "Electric and water hookups were a little far apart at site 27."
  • Bring long cables: If you're at a site with distant hookups, long cables can save the day. One camper noted, "We had long cables/hoses."
