Good experience
Great campsite, plenty of space. It rained a lot and our campsite was a little muddy (not bad) but nearby campsites had large puddles

LegendAvalon Campground
Nice campground near lots of great beach towns
We spent a weekend at Avalon Campground to tour the trailers at the Vintage Trailer Rally. We toured about 15 RVs which was a lot of fun. The owners all took time to share details about their renovations and how they use the trailer.
For me, this is a 4-star campground because of lack of wifi and cable tv. We normally bring our own wifi, but are waiting on a replacement unit to arrive this week. That’s why I was hoping they’d have wifi, or at least cable tv as a backup.
THINGS I LIKED:
— Nice campground— nothing fancy, but everything worked and it was pretty clean and well-maintained
— Friendly staff including an escort to the site(which was a good size with working utilities)
— Lots of nearby beach towns
— Easy access from Exit 17 off Garden State Parkway
— They have a concrete pickleball court which we enjoyed
THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
— WiFi cost extra fee and didn’t work well at all
— Cable TV reception wasn’t good
WOULD WE COME BACK?
Absolutely, this is a great spot! They’re adding a swimming pool which is under construction now, so that should be a good addition
Nancy W.LegendLums Pond State Park Campground
Clean, big-rig friendly, large sites.
Overall, this is a nice, small (about 65 sites) state park with plenty of recreational opportunities inside the park. There is nice separation between sites so you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. Tall trees are scattered about which provide shade at some sites but overall, the park is pretty open. Roads getting to the park are easy to navigate with any size RV. Within the park, roads are paved and free of potholes and there are no low hanging branches. Since the roads are one-way they are not very wide so backing in big-rigs can be a little tight and you might have to run over the grass.
All RV sites are full hook-up and there is a separate area for tents and there is one canvas yurt for rent. The tent sites are nice in that they are tucked along the wood line slightly away from RVs with more privacy and shade. The only downside is that they are pretty far away from the centrally located bathroom and showers. The bathroom has separate rooms for showers which is nice and private. They were tended to daily and very clean. Also, located in the center of the campground is a playground, camp store and laundry. The dumpsters and recycle bins are located in a separate area on the way out of the campground and were frequently full and overflowing. Campsites are paved and some have wide enough that the patio is paved but others have a narrow pad for the RV and gravel patio. We discovered that most sites are level but a few are not (like 22 and 24). The campground is very clean and camp hosts were diligent about picking up trash and cleaning out fire pits every day.
Across the pond (north of the campground) is where most of the amenities are located such as concessions, ball fields, horseshoe pits, disk golf, and more. For those wanting to fish there is a pier in the campground and a self-serve vending machine with bait in it. There are additional fishing piers located in other parts of the park and there are boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent. We stopped in at the Nature Center but it was a bust– just a few taxidermy specimens and not much information. One of the most popular areas of the park is Go Ape which is a ropes/zip line course through the canopy (which does require admission fee). There are nice trails that leave right from the campground– some 17 miles in all. There is a boat launch about a quarter mile from the campground entrance which is suitable for trailerable boats and paddle craft but there are no docks so you can’t leave your boat tied up there. There is an off-leash dog area but it is located far from the campground so it’s best to drive.

Beachcomber RV Resort
Website says RV Resort and cabins. Turns out 75%+/- of camping area is made up of Tiny Homes, owned by people, and some for rent, plus cabins.
In fairness, this isn't our type of camping. Many RV's were season with no one there. Thursday was dead, but Friday campers came in for Mother's Day weekend. We went to the bathhouse only to find out it was closed (seasonal). So a nice easy walk to do laundry turned into a lengthy walk or drive. Made no sense. Then on Friday, I was outside reading a book and an employee rolled into our site on a riding mower kicking up dirt all over me and into the trailer, with rocks kicked up into the picnic table. Lucky, no broken windows. Lippert no longer makes the window, so they would have been buying five (5) ones
This is a great place for families with young children. Just not our cup of tea

Lums Pond State Park Campground
Spacious, Well Maintained, and Top Notch
This campground has everything. Conveniently located, short drive to Dover, Wilmington, Annapolis and Baltimore. The sites were very large and spacious. Sites can accommodate any type of trailer or vehicle. Plenty of site hookups, areas for tents. There is a camp store, several washer and dryers. The best private, individual shower booths and even a pond to go fishing in.

First time campers and we loved it here
The area was well maintained, lots for the kids to do, and everyone that worked there was so nice. Close to beaches and food. We’ll be back!

You want peace ??
This is the most quietest campground. Perfect when you need to go somewhere to think. The people here are very nice. The wildlife is amazing

Thoughts
Okay so I haven't actually been here yet I am looking for somewhere to put my rv long term. I guess I was just wondering why the other person made this place sound so horrible. Is it because of the people who can only afford to survive long term at this campsite or was this another time that stigma took over instead of knowledge or is the place a real dangerous dump. I guess I need to check this place out for myself.
Guide to Pittsgrove
Camping near Pittsgrove, New Jersey offers a mix of woodland and lakeside experiences throughout Salem County's flat, sandy terrain. The region features primarily pine and oak forests with elevation ranges of 30-100 feet above sea level. Most campgrounds are situated within 20 minutes of Pittsgrove, with access to multiple bodies of water including Parvin Lake, Elmer Lake, and Cranes Lake.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: At Hospitality Creek Campground, the well-stocked lake provides consistent catches. As one camper noted, "Great waterfront site, level, and the hookups worked. Campground is clean and well-maintained. Great activities and live concert was fun."
Water activities: The swimming lake at Four Seasons Family Campground offers recreation beyond just swimming. A visitor shared, "Very nice campground with plenty of things to do for the kids. Beautiful pool, very nice playground and arcade. The fishing was good everytime we've went."
Hiking trails: Atsion Family Camp in Wharton State Forest provides multiple trail options. A reviewer wrote, "Across the street from the entrance is a home that sells sundries and firewood. Down at the Atsion office a mile away they can sell you firewood as well. Picalilli Inn isn't far, they have great wings. Batsto is a 15 minute drive. Hikes start either there or you can access from Atsion as well."
Kayaking options: Many waterfront sites allow direct water access for kayaks. One camper at Wharton State Forest mentioned, "Campsite G014 was awesome! It was a great location, closest site to the water with beautiful views. Super convenient if you're a Kayaker, you can launch right off that spot."
What campers like
Rustic cabin options: Parvin State Park Campground offers cabins for those seeking shelter without full amenities. A guest commented, "The cabins are more rustic than most, which I enjoyed. While there was a stove the heating, which was necessary in November, was accomplished via a stove."
Water quality differences: Different campgrounds have varying water conditions. At Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA, campers enjoy clean facilities while at other locations, water conditions may vary. One reviewer at Parvin State Park observed, "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."
Site spaciousness: Old Cedar Campground in Monroeville offers larger sites that accommodate bigger rigs. A camper reported, "We stayed in Site# 51 in the Fence Loop- a pull-thru with 50-amp, water, and sewer. The hookups seemed to work just fine. The all-grass site just fit our 37' motor home."
Unique views: Some campsites feature unusual scenery. As one visitor to Old Cedar Campground shared, "We faced the cow pasture so we had a great view. No prob w bugs. Sites r close together but not on top of each other. Overall, a nice quiet place and we will return."
What you should know
Water hookup arrangements: Be prepared for shared water connections at some campgrounds. A camper at Old Cedar Campground advised, "The water hookups are shared every other site(at least in the Fence Loop). I was lucky my 75' hose barely reached the distance needed. Be sure to bring extra hoses."
Site conditions: Lums Pond State Park Campground in nearby Delaware offers concrete pads, while many Pittsgrove-area campgrounds have natural surfaces. A visitor reported, "Sites are big and all were redone in the last few years with concrete pads, 30 amp service and full sewer."
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds close during winter months, with varying operating schedules. One guest noted, "This does close for winter and reopens in April but call park for exact closure dates because they do change."
Road conditions: Access roads vary significantly between campgrounds. At Wharton State Forest, a camper described, "Roads into the place are single car only, with a good amount of spots to pull off if you find your self head to head with another vehicle. Pretty bumpy road."
Tips for camping with families
Activities for kids: Adventure Bound Campground (formerly Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park) in Elmer provides extensive children's programming. A family reported, "Been here 2 years in a row, going again this June (2022). Water area is great, splash pad is very fun so is the large blow up slide and pool area."
Height requirements: Check activity restrictions before promising children certain experiences. One parent noted, "The pool and splash park were great but you needed to be at least 42 inches to go on the slide or bounce house."
Playground accessibility: Consider proximity to playgrounds when selecting sites. A camper at Parvin State Park mentioned, "Site is great for people with families as there was a playground within 50 feet so it is a bit louder and busier."
Budget considerations: Some campgrounds charge extra for children or additional visitors. A reviewer at Hospitality Creek Campground shared, "Reservation only includes 2 people - it's 8.00 per day for each additional person."
Tips from RVers
Site sizing: Check specific site dimensions before booking. At Parvin State Park, an RVer advised, "Stayed here Oct 14-16. Very narrow roads to sites, so not big rig friendly there but most sites are quite large. No gravel or pads on sites, just bare ground."
Hookup availability: Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA provides full hookups with relatively level sites. A camper noted, "This is a very nice KOA, just over the Delaware River from Philly. The park is clean, quiet, full of families. It's easy to navigate to the park from the interstate, and big rigs fit easily."
Transportation options: When visiting Philadelphia from local campgrounds, consider alternatives to driving. A reviewer suggested, "IF we had a car with us - we would have considered taking the ferry from Camden's Ferry Terminal next to Wiggins Park to Philly."
Seasonal traffic patterns: Weekday camping typically offers more seclusion. A camper at Atsion mentioned, "We were sad to find out it's no long a Yogi Bear Campground, only Adventure bound. Everything else is the same, just no friendly bears. We stay 3 weeks ago during covid and there were limited activities."
