    Atsion Cabins — Wharton State Forest

    Rustic Cabin On The Water

    Atsion cabins are excellent rustic cabins situated directly on the water. They come in a variety of sizes accommodating up to 7 or 8 people.

    They must be reserved in advance and a multiple night rental is necessary. They book quickly during the busy season. However, we rented for Halloween weekend and had it all to ourselves! No neighbors!

    Nov 1 marks an end to cabin rentals until the Spring.

    Large, screened in back porch with chairs over looks the water. Full kitchen with oven and fridge. Private bathroom and real bedrooms. Big, stone fireplace…. So don’t forget the wood.

    Each cabin has it’s own outdoor cooking space and picnic table.

    But we made a mistake! While there is electricity, there is NO heat or AC. Our last day was November 1st and it was COLD. Too cold to leave the fireplace for the bedrooms. Be aware of the weather and pack some good bedding. Linens were not provided.

    Bass River State Forest

    Our usual spot for a quick weekend trip that's close to home.

    I have stayed here many times over the years, usually for a long weekend.  Longer trips were spent there with my parents when I was a kid.   I prefer the south shore campsites to the north shore.  The sites on the south shore offer a little more privacy and aren't as crammed.  I'm particularly fond of the dog friendly loop, its a newer loop and the bathrooms are more modern than the others scattered around. 

    We have also stayed in the camping shelters a few times and a cabin once.    The shelters offer no frills sleeping quarters with two bunks beds, so four beds and closet/pantry on both sides in the rear for food and gear, a wooden table in and pot belly stove for warmth or a one pot meal in the front room.  Bathrooms are in a separate building across the road and are shared with the other shelters occupants.  The exterior includes a fire pit, picnic table and a fire ring for larger meal prep.

    The cabins are a two steps above the shelter with a full kitchen and bathroom with shower, but otherwise rustic, with three sets of bunk beds, a wooden table and two Adirondack chairs in front of a fire place.  The screened in porch at the rear of the cabin overlooks the lake and has plenty of room for camp chairs.   There is also a picnic table and a charcoal grill outside.

    The beach is home to the cleanest, most wonderful lake I have ever set foot  in.  There are picnic tables and grills scattered all around the beach near the parking lot and it does get crowded in the summer months.  There is also a concession stand open in the summer months, serving light fare -- burgers, dogs, ice cream, soda & chips.

    Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest

    4x4ing in the Pine Barrens

    Atsion Family Campground

    Off US 206 and about 1/2 a mile up Atsion Road in New Jersey’s Wharton State Forest, you’ll find the Atsion Family Campground. The facility is run by the Dept of Environmental Protection and offers Tent, Trailer and Group Sites. There are also Cabins for rent as well, but only available during the summer months, After Memorial Day until October. AFC is one of several campgrounds in WSF and is the largest with 50 camping sites. Amenities include a handicapped accessible restroom/shower building, several drinking water spigots, and a waste dump for trailers. There are no electric hook ups and cell service is low, but manageable. Plenty of sun (shady too) so bring your solar powered generators and cell signal boosters if you need to stay connected. AFC is also pet friendly, so bring your 4 legged furry family members, after registering them with the camp site.

    The individual sites are spacious with a pic-nick table and fire ring grill. Some sites have lake-side water access, so bring your canoes and kayaks and reserve these sites (4, 8, 10, 12, 20 and 22) early as they are popular. The ground is sandy and relatively level for easy camp set up. Some sites are close to a roadway, so you do get some car noise, and like all unmonitored camp sites, loud, unruly campers can be lurking among the pines. Be sure to get your fire wood from the guy that lives across the street from the campground entrance. 5 bucks, on the honor system, a good amount of wood, open 24/7.

    Nearby is the Atsion Recreation Area, which offers fishing, walking, biking and horseback trails, a life guard monitored beach by the lake with restrooms and snacks (Summer Months). Only 15 minutes away, a quick drive, is Batso Village, an old iron and glass community from the late 1700s to early 1900s. NJ State Park Rangers are working hard keeping the area clean, rehabilitated, and educational center allowing you to walk through the old buildings and time as you image what life was like back then. Wharton SF is huge, over 122,000 acres of sandy terrain, towering pine trees, lakes/rivers and off roading trails!! Y’all should come and play in the Pine Barrens

    Turkey Swamp Park

    Nicely wooded park with many activity options

    General: Smallish (64-site) county park campground. There are also three cabins. As soon as you turn off the main road to the park, all roads are dirt, which was a bit surprising. They were well-maintained and in dry weather, not a problem, but probably not if it was rainy. The campground is in five loops with the bathhouse located in the D Loop. 

    Site Quality: Sites in Loops B-E all have pull-thru driveways. Sites are all level, very generous in size, and reasonably spaced apart for privacy. A lantern hook, picnic table, and fire ring complete each site. As mentioned, all roads and camper pads are dirt. There are some ADA sites but the only thing distinguishing them from others is their proximity to the bathroom. 

    Bath/Shower House: Very clean. Soap and paper towels are provided. The only thing missing were hooks or shelves for toiletries but there was a large bench that could be used. Since it is located in the D Loop it would have been helpful to have pathways leading from the other loops. Did not use the shower so cannot comment. 

    Activities/Amenities: There is a lake with a boat dock and a small boardwalk. Kayaking/Canoeing, fishing, and swimming. In the summer, canoe, kayak, paddle boats, and row boats are available for rental. Several short (longest one is 2.5 miles) hiking trails that are fairly well-marked but can be a bit confusing at times. Some sections of the trails were muddy due to swamps and bogs but passable. There is also a fitness trail. There is an archery range and a council ring (campfire). There is a dump station and laundry facility with brand-new washers and dryers (however, you need to pay using an app on your phone). The office is open until 9 pm and sells ice, firewood, and bait. There are age-appropriate playgrounds both in the campground and by the office. 

    There are not a lot of camping opportunities in NJ, and this was a nice one. The campground was only about 20% occupied when we were there at the end of April, so our stay was a quiet one.

    Tohickon Valley County Park

    One stop shop for adventure!

    This place is amazing! everything you could want, from tent and RV camping to cabin rentals. They also have a pool and playground. some of my favorite parts of this park are a good 100’ rack wall perfect for climbing, great fishing, trails for miles that even connects to the AT, and when scheduled they open the dam up stream for som world class whitewater rafting.

    As for some things that aren’t listed. this is no alcohol permitted in the park due to it being a state park, however that all depends on how open you are about it and the Park rangers. Cell phone service is limited last time I was up there in 2012 only people with Verizon Wireless had any reception. Also there is no WiFi. No hookups or camp store.

    Baker's Acres Campground

    Rustic and Classic Campground

    We stayed at Baker’s Acres Campground in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, for a weekend in mid-August. So did the rains of Hurricane Henri! 

    Our site(#Zoo-1) was a level back-in with 50-amp electric, water, sewer, and cable. It was easy to pull in and accommodates larger rigs. The hook-ups were all well-maintained and worked fine. We had plenty of room to fit our car too. The site included a picnic table and fire ring. My favorite thing about this campground is that most of the sites have plenty of trees and shrubs for semi-privacy, shade, and a rustic feel. 

    This campground has been family run for over 50-years and has an interesting history that’s worth reading more about. Our site is located across from the pickle ball court which used to be a petting zoo(now the site# should make sense, right?). We came because we wanted to experience one of New Jersey’s oldest campgrounds. We liked the interesting vignettes they created around the campground as well as the goldfish pond near the office and store. 

    Baker’s Acres is well-maintained. The amenities include a swimming pool, lots of sports courts/fields, and a bunch of family-friendly scheduled activities. There is a camp store with all the usual items as well as bath and laundry facilities. The wifi service was ok, but costs$1 per day per device. Our Verizon cell service worked fine. 

    The front office staff were all friendly and we love that, especially when checking in at a new campground. 

    Drive time to Tuckerton Seaport is about 10-minutes and Long Beach Island is about 35-minutes depending on traffic. There are plenty of stores within a 5-mile drive if you should need anything including Walmart, super markets, convenience stores, and several restaurants. 

    Our only minor negative was that our site was sandy dirt which created a bit of a mess, especially after the rain. It is the Jersey shore, after all. This would have been 5 stars if the site had gravel, grass, or was finished with concrete. It’s a pet peeve, but I hate having to constantly clean up to keep the sand out of our RV. 

    This is a great old-fashioned campground close to LBI. We’ll can’t wait to go back!

    Tohickon Valley County Park

    Great stop for a Bikepacker

    No electrical and no pets allowed in camp sites. But plenty of trees and huge fire rings in each spot. An RV would have a tough time but for car camping it’s great. The Delaware Canal is nearby with the tow path for biking. That makes this a nice Bikepacking stop.


Guide to New Egypt

Cabin camping near New Egypt, New Jersey offers diverse overnight options in the Pine Barrens ecosystem, characterized by sandy soil, pine forests, and cedar-stained waterways. Sites throughout the region sit at elevations of 80-100 feet above sea level with warm, humid summers and mild winters. Most campgrounds maintain operational seasons from April through November, though some cabin facilities remain open year-round.

What to do

Archery practice: Turkey Swamp Park features a dedicated archery range where visitors can practice their skills. "We go every year. It has everything the outdoorsman could ask for. Bring your bow and shoot at the hay barrels," notes a camper about this Freehold Township facility.

Winter activities: Brendan Byrne State Forest cabins provide year-round access to winter recreation opportunities not available at seasonal campgrounds. According to one visitor: "Ice skate on the lake in the winter or just enjoy a gorgeous walk in the woods."

Kayaking: Multiple waterways throughout the region provide paddling opportunities with boat rentals available at several campgrounds. A Turkey Swamp visitor shared: "Turkey Swamp is a great spot, a lot of different things to do. Fishing, Tent Camp, Van Camping, Open Field, BBQ, Kayaking, Canoeing. The list goes on."

Hiking trail exploration: The Pine Barrens offer extensive trail networks with varying difficulty levels. One Brendan Byrne camper reports: "Lots of good hiking trails, most the sites have pretty decent privacy from the other ones."

What campers like

Spacious wooded sites: Turkey Swamp Park provides well-spaced camping areas with natural buffers. "Sites in Loops B-E all have pull-thru driveways. Sites are all level, very generous in size, and reasonably spaced apart for privacy," explains a recent visitor.

Lake access: Multiple campgrounds feature waterfront cabin options with direct lake or pond views. A visitor to Atsion Family Camp noted: "I always get site #8 and it has an amazing view of the lake. While camping at atsion family campground, you have free access to the recreation center (the beach and some trails)."

Privacy between sites: Butterfly Camping Resort incorporates natural vegetation between camping areas. "The sites are cozy and each lined with natural shrubbery and in some cases fencing. They're well maintained and raked between campers," shares one reviewer.

Clean facilities: Most campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses and shower facilities. A Butterfly camper noted: "The campground was very well taken care of. The sites had good tree coverage and we didn't feel like we were right on top of the next site."

What you should know

Seasonal restrictions: Cabin availability varies significantly by season. A Turkey Swamp visitor observed: "The campground was only about 20% occupied when we were there at the end of April, so our stay was a quiet one."

Insect preparations: The Pine Barrens ecosystem requires thorough tick prevention measures. "By the 2nd day I had 3 ticks on me. My dog had one and by the end my husband had 2. That was so crazy because we were just sitting by our camper," warns a Turkey Swamp camper.

Road conditions: Many access roads throughout campgrounds remain unpaved. "As soon as you turn off the main road to the park, all roads are dirt, which was a bit surprising. They were well-maintained and in dry weather, not a problem, but probably not if it was rainy," notes a Turkey Swamp visitor.

Fire restrictions: Brendan Byrne State Forest enforces specific fire timing regulations. "Only weird rule I saw was that fires can only go from 6pm till 7am which was odd but wasn't a deal breaker," mentions one camper.

Tips for camping with families

Playground options: Atsion Family Camp provides dedicated play areas for children. "There are playgrounds and picnic areas as well. This is a lovely campground," shares a Turkey Swamp visitor.

Bug preparation: Pack appropriate insect repellent for children, particularly during summer months. A Turkey Swamp camper shares reassurance: "We went camping with our 2- and 3-year-old kids. We were worried about bugs, but we didn't even use mosquito repellent and didn't get a single bite!"

Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds offer swimming facilities to keep children engaged. "There's a pond to fish, trails to walk/bike, basketball, sand volleyball, the list goes on and on. Both nights we were there, there were events being put on (a tractor ride, kickball, and a pool movie night)," explains a Butterfly Camping Resort visitor.

Proximity to attractions: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to regional family destinations. A visitor to Timberland Lake Campground mentions: "This campground is conveniently located near six flags (5min), Sesame Place (40 min) and Philadelphia (60 min). Campground has friendly staff and plenty of activities for children of all ages."

Tips from RVers

Bring extension cords: Limited electrical outlet placement at some sites requires longer connections. "Bring a LONG water hose," advises a Turkey Swamp Park visitor.

Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds feature natural terrain requiring leveling equipment. "Some sites unlevel," notes a Turkey Swamp camper, highlighting the importance of bringing leveling blocks.

Campground navigation: Indian Rock RV Resort provides large pull-through sites suitable for bigger rigs. "Our site was a big pull through site," confirms a visitor, though careful navigation remains necessary at most facilities.

Water hookup access: Not all campgrounds offer full hookups at cabin sites, requiring planning. "Plenty of potable water hydrants around the campground so not far of a walk to fill any water needs you may have," explains a Brendan Byrne State Forest visitor.
