    Good size camp sites

    Bathrooms were clean but most of the faucets on the sinks were broken. The water has a very high iron content. I couldn't even use it for tooth brushing. Most of the showers were out of order. The toilets were clean but had the orange staining from the iron in the water. I stayed at Site#8 in a travel trailer. Site was level and easy in and out. Large site off the main road to other sites. Nice hiking trails. Staff very nice. The dump station is sometimes secured has a combination lock. Ask for the combination during check-in. Note: Some sites are right next to hiking trails. If you want privacy, don't choose them.

    Verizon cell service was between 1 and 2 bars.

    Close to home Campground

    The campground is very close to home, and a lot of people around our area (central jersey) go there yearly or have seasonal sites there, but for us, it was our first time at the campground. The campground was full of plenty of amenities like basketball, volleyball, cornhole, playground, pool, crafts, bands, a lake, and fishing. The place was clean, and there was no garbage around.

    The positives were there were plenty of things to do and they also have this great river that goes through the place so you can walk and throw your tube in and float to the other side of the park 30 mins later get out and do it again. They campground will also bring you up the river further and drop you off on a canoe trip. There is an added cost for rental. I like that they allow you to bring your own golf cart and/ or electric scooters or bikes. They had an old school playground which was better then any new one out there. The store was fully stocked with anything you could possibly want or need. They had a band which played Saturday night and people lined up golfcarts from all over and just lived for this concert.

    The negatives are for me campgrounds spots were right on top of one another but they were big spots they dont have tons of trees or shade which. They did have many seasonal sites, which sometimes turns me off and can make the place look a little trashy. The other negative was that the pool was freezing because they would pump water out every night. Someone told us there was an issue with the chemicals, and the pool looked greener every day. The bathrooms by the pool were older and always dirty.

    Our Happy Place

    We have been here many times before and it continues to be our favorite. Every weekend there’s a band or Dj at the beach at night and every visit we have made friends. There are usually food trucks and things for the kiddos like bounce houses during the day but just check the website for events (always subject to change so don’t hold that against them) People are always super friendly, kind and welcoming. The rules are what the standard should be for all campgrounds and even if you bend them a bit they aren’t jerks about it if you aren’t. We LOVE it and always hate to leave even though we pay the $25 to stay to 8pm on departure day, it’s never long enough. It truly is our happy place.

    Use to be Good

    This was our 5th and final trip to this campground. This time campground seemed to have LOTS OF little things that needed upkeep.

    Positive - close to Cape May, nice pool

    Negative - lots of airplane noise all day (due to local airport), nightly sites are slowly being turned into permanent sites. Lake seemed filled with algae on sides. Store was nice but not stocked as previous trips.

    Well Kept

    We stayed here for 4 nights.  We usually stay at a different campground but we unable to book there so we thought we'd try out SRA.  Upon arrival we were met by a pleasant man at the gatehouse who gave us our parking pass, gate key, and map.  Our site was easy to find and parking was easily maneuvered.  

    The grounds were well kept, the pool was clean, the bathhouse was clean AND air conditioned!!!!!  Loved the mini golf.  Every staff member we encountered was friendly.  This is a nice, flat campground so great for bike riding.  While there are MANY seasonal sites, we never felt unwelcome - quite the opposite!

    We were kind of annoyed by the loud music of other campers.  It was late (but not yet quiet hours), we were in our camper, with our air conditioner running and our TV on, and we could still hear their music.  This only happened one night but it went on for hours.

    Close to restaurants and Walmart. Lots of bugs during summer.

    I went there in late June and it was my first time camping. The campsite was clean overall. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    There was no platform, so you need to set up the tent on the ground. Most of the sites were not on grass but just dirt ground.

    Going camping in a forecast during summer time might not be the best idea. There were many bugs and many of them got in my tent as I forgot to zip the door after setting it up.

    The bathroom (shower room?) was reasonably clean, but I have only been to this camp site, so there is no comparison. One of the restroom has broken lights.

    There is little to no signal inside the park. But once you drive out, you will have some signal. The campsite is close to a Walmart and a few other restaurants, which is good.

    Relaxing Father's Day Weekend

    We stayed in Site 122, a Red Carpet Pull-Thru RV site, at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp Resort South Jersey for Father’s Day weekend. This was our third stay at this campground, but the first since new owners took over and converted it to a Jellystone. 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    1. Everything, including our site, was in great condition, clean, and good working order 

    2. Our site was directly across from the Pavilion which was great for Saturday night’s live band 

    3. Our site included a nice concrete pad big enough to park our 45’ motorhome+ toad 

    4. Our site was roomy with plenty of mature shade trees 

    5. The pool and surrounding amenities are nice and clean including lake, snack bar, and ice cream 

    WOULD WE COME BACK? 

    Absolutely, this is a nice place for a few days of downtime.

    Wonderful time!

    We loved our stay! A quick drive to the beaches and a gorgeous rail trail! Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming which was the biggest selling point for us. Upon check in we were greeted by the friendliest man who made us feel right at home. We have a 25ft pull behind and our site comfortably fit the trailer and our whole outdoor setup. We will be back!

    Nice place, great location.

    We took our travel trailer down for a long weekend at the end of the season. It was pretty full, but didn't feel crowded. There are a few (seasonal) restaurants with in a few minutes walk/drive.

    There is an unmarked speed bump on the way in, so go SLOOW.

    Great Stay at Atlantic Shore Pines Campground!

    My family and I stayed here this weekend. The campground is now known as Atlantic Shore Pines. This place is very close to Bass River State Park with lots of hiking and outdoor activities. Restaurants and stores in Tuckerton are just a few minutes away. This campground is about 20 minutes from LBI, and 35 minutes from Ocean City. The site we had was a pull through and very spacious. The whole place was quiet and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. AT&T cell service was great. We will definitely stay here again.

    One of the best in the area

    Love Henlopen. Beautiful setting, all blacktopped sites, clean functional bathhouses, great hike/bike trails. Also close to the beach and Rehoboth has great restaurants and shopping. Lewes is one of the coolest little towns in America. I rate it a 10!

    Great camping when you can get a spot

    Love this campground.  Very hard to snag a spot for a weekend.  It's always busy.  Sites are small.  Lots to do, there's the beach, the WW2 lookouts, walks, biking and the surrounding area.  Easy access to Rehobeth and Lewes.  Always love going there!  The bathrooms can be a bit groady, but it doesn't matter too much to us now as we can take a shower in our unit if it's too bad.  We like camping here in the spring and fall….even with all the people, we can find peace.  Definitely recommended!

    Great, quiet spot

    There are a lot of nice spots, and a good mix of the monthly/seasonal folks and us weekenders. There is a smell due to being next to a chicken or animal farm; however, after a few minutes outside, the smell goes away.

    Easy Camping

    Great spot, not the easiest to find with google maps but we managed. Our site was nice and secluded. Site 51 easily fit 3 tents and 2 cars. Definitely beware of chiggers and ticks! Deet is necessary. There are grocery stores close by like Walmart about 20 minutes away. The beach is nice and clean. We rented canoes near the beach. We were told not to go in the water outside of the roped off area where the life guards are because of the algae. Overall would recommend for a weekend. Bathrooms were clean and had hot water for showers in August.

    1st time visiting this place...

    So not going to do 5 stars, but I will absolutely give a 4.9... we only had about one full day of time to be THERE, as days 1-3 were travel days. All that being said, the few staff we had the pleasure of speaking with, were polite and helpful... that isn't to say they were not present, but they were busy keeping the place together and cleaned up... Overall, it was a pleasant experience where we could enjoy a chill woodsy environment, camp fire, field away from light pollution where we could enjoy the night time view of the of the galaxy and the some.... and relatively above average cleanliness for the bathrooms. So honestly, I'm goinna give the benefit of the doubt, of one short visit, that our next will be just as enjoyable.

    Great Campground

    Really enjoyed staying here. Liked that there is a tiki bar at the beach and pool that serves alcohol. - Kids play while adults play! :-) Also liked the campsites. Enough room for everything without being in your neighbors business. They really put a lot of work into the place and it really shows. Very clean campground. Will be back in the future. 35 min drive to Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk.

    It was a campground that needs love.

    We arrived at 4pm to find the office closed. They tapped a note for us on the door. The site we were given was a pull through that faced the back of some very old unattractive campers, cars, and lots. Apparently there are folks that live there full time. This was not the view anyone would want. Then there was the SMELL. I addressed the issue at the desk and the nice lady said.. oh I wouldn't expect it to smell by your lot. What exactly does that mean? We were there for 5 days and the dumpsters that overflowed were emptied once. The bathhouse had the same dirt on the floor for 3 days. There are many gorgeous lots available. Please ask to not be near the monthly campers. We did not use the pool but it was beautiful looking.

    Large campground

    Very large campground. Is not as nice as some of the other places I’ve been but it is ok. Pool water was cloudy so kids didn’t want to swim in it. The people that worked there seemed nice.

    Great spot close to everything

    We stayed for 2 weeks July 2023, and had the best time. The owner Mike and his super energetic side kick Adrienne were great . Bathrooms were older but spotless clean.

    Pool was huge, I used it everyday . Overall the campground is quiet and clean.

    When in south jersey this is a great stop.

    Quiet convenient camping

    We enjoyed staying at redden. There are 7 reservable sites which can be done online. We stayed in site three. The amenities were a little lacking. A pretty small very full out house was about all that is offered. Most all sites were shaded and level enough but could be better. Wood was cheaper then usual (5 dollars per bundle) and is located under a self serve honor system payment across from site 3.

    The gate system was a little strange and what previous reviewers had written was helpful because everything is pretty much done as self check in with no one to really ask questions to. After going past the office you will take a right to get to a closed yellow gate which you will open and close behind you yourself. After going through the gate hang right at the Y and all the sites are down there. Be mindful if you have a big rig there is nowhere to turn around or hookups so plan accordingly when getting to your site.

    Where this little area shines is in its proximity to Lewes and cape Henlopen. A small 25-35 minute drive gets you most places you would need minus the bustle of being in town.
