    Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, with the majority open from April through October. Full hookup sites for RVs are common at the established campgrounds, though availability varies by location. "Sites are big and all were redone in the last few years with concrete pads, 30 amp service and full sewer," notes one camper about Lums Pond State Park. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend stays during summer months. Weather conditions remain mild through most of the camping season, though summer humidity can be significant. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, and most campgrounds are accessible via paved roads without requiring high-clearance vehicles.

The park features a large pond for fishing and boating, with electric motors only permitted on the water. Hiking and biking trails connect the campground to other areas of the park. Several visitors mentioned the cleanliness of bathroom facilities as a highlight at the more developed campgrounds. Private campgrounds in the area typically offer more amenities and organized activities, particularly those catering to families with children. The Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA provides year-round camping options for those looking to visit outside the typical camping season when many state park facilities close.

      Martinak State Park Campground

      Quiet camping in the woods.

      This is a great little state park tucked away in the woods. Campsites are pretty spacious and have nice shade. The campground has two loops, each with a bathhouse located in the middle. Our site (Butterfly Loop #3) was long enough for our motorhome and tow car. The roads are paved, as was our camping pad. The only utility at our site was 30-amp electric. There are water spigots located throughout each loop and we were close enough to fill our water tank. For the most part, the park is big-rig friendly but we did brush against some trees on our way around the loop. Campsites do vary in length so make sure you include your length when booking. We reserved online and were instructed to just go to our site which was nice and convenient. They sell firewood onsite and have a self-pay station which we loved. There is a nice boat launch and the kayak launch has a platform to assist you getting in and out and there are plenty of places to fish from the bank. There is a nature center (which was not open during our stay), playground, picnic pavilions, amphitheater, The bathrooms could use some more attention. The shower curtains were pink meaning they have not been properly cleaned in a while. Needless to say, we did not shower there. The dump station was closed while we were there but we were told we could use the dump station at Tuckahoe State Park (about 10 miles away). We really enjoyed the short hiking trails and paved trail which allowed us to log about 3 miles without having to leave the park. The campground is a really relaxing place to be. We did drive (about 40 minutes south) to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park and Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, both of which we recommend.  It is also worth a drive to St. Michaels to see the quaint seaside town and visit the maritime museum (plan on spending half a day at the museum).  The only downside is that the park is not gated and open for day use so a lot of people just drive through the campground looking around.

      Avalon 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

      Lums 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.

      Bay Shore Campground

      What stands out about this campground? The view!

      We spent a week at Bay Shore Campground to explore Rock Hall, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. What stands out about this campground? The view! 

      For me, this is a 4-star campground because of the view and nice staff, but not 5-stars because of the sloped site packed in with the neighbors and no sewer connection. 

      THINGS I LIKED:

      — Great view from our site of the Chesapeake Bay— especially for sunset each evening

      — Friendly staff

      — Nearby Rock Hall, Chestertown, and Eastern Neck Island Wildlife Refuge

      — They offered a promo to pay for 6 nights, and the 7th was free 

      THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:

      — Our site(Site B) had an amazing view of Chesapeake Bay, but the slope made it difficult to get even close to level— even with my front jacks fully extended. I had to buy additional leveling blocks from the camp store(at twice the price of Amazon) just so we didn’t feel like walking uphill to walk around our motorhome. I admit, I am spoiled but really appreciate the campgrounds that level their sites. I think it could be done in a few hours with a rented front loader at a couple nights’ cost.

      — Our site(Site B) was tight. The neighbor’s awning was just inches from our motorhome. I understand the need for any business to maximize revenue, but this was unpleasantly close.

      — There are no sewer hookups at the sites. They do have a couple of dump stations for your way out and provide a pump-out service once per week at$40 a pop. They were nice enough to pump me out a second time since I stayed 7 nights. Again, I know I’m spoiled, but a sewer connection is a necessity when you’re staying 8 days. 

      WOULD WE COME BACK? 

      Sure thing, but we’d stay at a different site.

      Beachcomber Camping Resort

      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

      Adventures Await Retreat

      Nice, Quiet Campground but Ongoing Electrical Issues and No Resolution

      We stayed at this campground for approximately one month and paid full price with the expectation of reliable utilities and access to advertised amenities. The property itself is nice and quiet, which we appreciated, but unfortunately that did not outweigh the issues we experienced.

      During our stay, we had ongoing electrical problems at our site. Our air conditioner would not function properly, and we were unable to use it for essentially the entire month, including during several hot days. Our hot water heater also could not reliably run on electric, which forced us to operate it on propane and refill our tanks twice at our own expense.

      In addition to the electrical issues, the water quality was also a concern. The water from the faucet would often come out brown and murky for a period of time when first turned on, and at times even after it had been running.

      Our site also did not include basic amenities such as a fire ring or picnic table, which are typically expected and commonly included with full-price sites.

      At one point, the entire campground lost power. Despite that, we were told our pedestal had been tested and was functioning properly, which was not possible given the campground-wide outage at the time.

      After leaving and connecting to power at a different campground, all of our systems—including AC and hot water—worked immediately without issue. This confirmed the problem was not with our RV, but with the power supply at this campground.

      Additionally, one of the listed amenities (the pool) was unavailable when we attempted to use it.

      We brought these concerns to the owner and requested a reasonable refund or adjustment based on the lack of usable electrical service and the additional expenses we incurred. That request was refused.

      We are sharing this so others are aware. If you rely on consistent electrical service, clean water, and standard site amenities, this is something to seriously consider before booking.

      Susquehanna State Park Campground

      Great time with kids

      Nice campground had my 6 and 7 year old. The site was pretty private and had bathrooms close. I would definitely go again.

    Guide to Elsinboro

    Several campgrounds within a 30-mile radius of Elsinboro provide diverse camping experiences throughout the year. The area sits at a low elevation, averaging 10-20 feet above sea level, which contributes to its generally flat terrain and moderate winter conditions. Most locations maintain modern bathroom facilities and water access, though water quality varies by location.

    What to do

    Hiking trails around water features: At Elk Neck State Park, visitors access multiple walking paths with water views. "We enjoyed hiking the Beaver Marsh Trail. From our campsite we had to drive to a trail head but there were a few sights that had direct access. Also the lighthouse trail is a must," notes one camper from Elk Neck State Park Campground.

    Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer fishing options with varying success rates. At Parvin State Park Campground, one camper reports "Good fishing and nice trails. Nice campsites, some big enough for trailers. Bathrooms were very clean."

    Swimming and water recreation: When temperatures rise in summer months, water activities become popular. "There is a pool that is open Memorial Day-Labor Day. They also have a catch and release pond," reports a visitor about Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA.

    What campers like

    Full hookup options: Many locations offer complete utility connections. At Lums Pond State Park Campground, campers appreciate the convenience: "Sites are large and well spaced. Many are in full sun. The bathroom facilities and laundry are clean and modern. There are separate, individual shower rooms."

    Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness receives consistent mention across most established campgrounds. "The bath house was absolutely immaculate, and the design made even my public-bathroom-phobic sister-in-law comfortable and at ease," notes one visitor about Lums Pond State Park.

    Spacious campsites: Site size varies considerably by location. At Old Cedar Campground in Monroeville, a reviewer appreciated the spacing: "This is a small and basic campground, not a resort. No fancy amenities. The all-grass site just fit our 37' motor home."

    What you should know

    Water quality varies: Some facilities report water issues. At Parvin State Park, a camper noted: "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."

    Reservation requirements: Most popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. For Blackbird State Forest Campground, limited availability exists: "Only 8 sites in the campground, very spaced apart. Each site has lots of room."

    Off-season facilities: Winter camping options exist but with reduced services. A visitor to Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA observed: "This does close for winter and reopens in April but call park for exact closure dates because they do change."

    Tips for camping with families

    Children's activities: Campgrounds targeting families offer organized programs. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Elmer, a visitor noted: "They had a breakfast, games and crafts geared towards it. The pool and splash park were great but you needed to be at least 42 inches to go on the slide or bounce house."
