Sun Outdoors Cape May and Ocean View Resort Campground house some of the most distinctive glamping accommodations within a short drive of Somers Point. These luxury camping destinations feature yurts and safari-style glamping tents equipped with comfortable beds, electricity, and climate control systems for year-round comfort. Ocean View Resort's glamping options include private decks overlooking wooded areas, while Sun Outdoors Cape May offers glamping yurts with premium amenities. One visitor noted, "We stayed in a teepee and it is one of the coolest places I have camped. These days I like glamping and this was the best experience yet!" Both locations provide easy access to nearby beaches, with Ocean View Resort situated just minutes from Sea Isle City and Avalon beaches, making these boutique camping experiences ideal for travelers seeking nature without sacrificing comfort.
The glamping experience at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA includes fully-furnished canvas tents with real beds, electricity, and private outdoor spaces. A recent visitor mentioned, "My husband and I stayed for a week in one of the glamping tents. The staff was very friendly and the tents were more glamorous than we had tried before, but definitely had a good combination of woodsy and comfort." Guests at these resort-style camping destinations enjoy access to swimming pools, fishing ponds, and organized activities throughout the season. Mays Landing Resort and Pleasant Valley Family Campground also feature glamping accommodations with proximity to Atlantic City attractions and the Pine Barrens wilderness areas. Most glamping sites in the region operate seasonally from April through October, with peak rates during summer months and discounted shoulder-season pricing for luxury camping experiences in spring and fall.
"Arrived at 1pm on Wednesday. Check in was smooth. They allowed me to drive around first and pick out a campsite before checking in. They charge $5 extra for a dog."
"nice clean campsites with good electric and water hookups. Great activates at the lake and playground. Site was level. Bath house was a little run down , but serviceable. "
"We went to Ocean View Resort in New Jersey to kick off the 2022 season in our new Fleetwood Discovery LXE. And we’re glad we did! "
"This is one of the largest, if not the largest, campgrounds in Southern New Jersey. While on the pricier side, everything is top-notch."
"Bathrooms were cleaned multiple times each day, showers were warm. There is a laundry facility. It's about $6 to wash and dry a load. There is no change machine that we could find."
"The staff was very accommodating and gracious. The onsite stores prices were very inexpensive which surprised me. Halloween decorations were the best."
"They have internet, TV, open gear around, city water, sewer, always there to help."
"We had a "safari tent, which was immaculate. It even had a separate bathroom with indoor plumbing. Campground is not far from a convenience store if needed."
"The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The grounds were well kept. The pool area looked nice and there were plenty of bathhouses and laundry (both are lacking where we usually stay). "
"Office staff was so nice. We had site 217 in the back. Was difficult to pull in to but the lot size was big. Lots of mosquitos tho-I was eaten up so bring repellent! Very private and quiet place."
"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. "
"The place is immaculate and the staff is extremely nice and accommodating! I will definitely be returning. Fun fact... Mr. Softee comes around evenings with the best soft serve ice cream!!!!"
"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."
"Very family friends and pet friendly. Mostly quiet. There is NO Wi-Fi. Plenty of trails and things to do. Only downside was our site 252 had a giant spotlight on our site from dusk and until dawn."
"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."
"This was a nice large site in the“pet-friendly” section(sites 26-34) of the campground. Site 34 is close to Atsion Road, so there was car noise, but it wasn’t really an issue to us."
"Nice, Clean and Friendly. perfect for home base really close to lots of jersey shore happenings. and the staff is so amazingly helpful!!"
ScoutWe stayed at the group site campground with our horse. We found the sites to be large, and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have fall activities for the family, at the lake and nature hikes. The porta potty's are very clean, have hand sanitizer and plenty of paper. Will be returning again in a few weeks. Plenty of trails to ride on. A true gem in our own backyard.
ScoutThis is one of the largest, if not the largest, campgrounds in Southern New Jersey. While on the pricier side, everything is top-notch. The roads are all paved, and not gravel (I hate trying to sleep and listening to the sound of stones grating together). The sites are more spacious than most campgrounds, so it doesn't seem so crowded. The bathrooms are all modern and spotless. There are numerous bathrooms which means most sites have one nearby. They do charge a quarter for showers to encourage water conservation and donate the money to conservation causes. The pool is large, as is the lake. Both are well-maintained. The camp store is enormous and is really nice and well-stocked with everything one might need from food to pool and beach stuff to camping supplies and equipment. There is a nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The camp store has a lending library of books and DVDs. There are numerous activities that appear to be well-run, The grounds are shaded with many trees for a great wooded campground feel. The campground is so large that it has an internal shuttle with stations scattered about to help people go between the various important sites such as at the pool, the lake and the store. I found other campers, particularly the seasonals, to be more friendly than other campgrounds at the shore. This requires constant tree care including removing dead trees and branches which they do regularly. The staff is friendly and well-trained. I was in a tent, and when a rare October nor'easter came through, I was offered the opportunity to use a cabin free-of-charge. Fortunately my tent and equipment made it through days of rain and high winds just fine . On my first stay in May, I had to run my dog back to Baltimore towards the end of my trip where he was sadly diagnosed with incurable metastatic cancer. When I returned, I was late and unable to check out by 11, but they allowed me to take as much time as needed to clear the site, as nobody was staying there the next day, which was deeply appreciated - I was an emotional wreck. Oh, and I found the complimentary Wi-Fi to be a great service, and sufficiently fast to allow me to stream ultra-high-definition movies at my site - Most campgrounds charge extra for less-than-good service - a lot more. I find that a big bonus. Overall, I LOVE this campground and highly recommend it.
GuideThis campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.
ScoutRestrooms are filthy with mold and mildew.
Water puddled on the restroom floor.really gross.
Cabin was mostly clean. The windows were full of dirt and bugs on the tracks.mattresses were terrible.The fireplace was nice. Kitchen was clean.
Can t wait to move on to a cleaner park.
ScoutMy check in was for 8-6-2026, and bc I’m a new driver and wanted to beat traffic I got there early (7am) so I sit there waiting till check in time. When suddenly the park police show up. He’s accusing me of camping over night there. I told him simply I wasn’t and where I was night prior (would never sleep somewhere without permission). So we go to the store to kill time before we check in. Come back for Check in and the whole staff in just the office alone were so arrogant and cold to my mom and I, leaving rude comments to us and not only where they like that but the staff outside the office was acting like that alongside the rangers and park police. They would watch us the whole visit in the distance parking there cars a little ways watching everything we did,even driving by slowly a bunch of times in just an hour alone. My mom and I couldn’t do anything with out them showing up 2 mins later. Example we were walking our dog enjoying our time(trying to) and all of a sudden one of the office ladies pulls up right in front of us speeding, parks their car, gets out and walks a distance from us standing there and taking pictures of us…. For walking our dog who’s on a leash and didn’t even do anything. The whole trip we felt uncomfortable and unwanted and to find out they police when we were going on walks where coming up to campers near us bribing them with free firewood to get any information on use (told to us by other camper). I paid a lot of money to be harassed and followed the whole time. We never did anything we abide by every rule and keep to ourselves everywhere we go. They even made my mother cry…
GuideBeautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
ScoutGreat place. Close to beach. No septic hookup
TravelerI am writing this review because I genuinely want to warn other families before they book this campground. What should have been a relaxing camping trip turned into an extremely upsetting experience for our family. From the beginning, we felt singled out and unwelcome. We arrived at our campsite and then went to the office. We did not know that the campground required every guest to go to the office before going to their site. This was an honest misunderstanding. Instead of simply explaining the rule and moving on, the situation became unnecessarily confrontational, and we felt like the staff was looking for reasons to have an issue with us. What was especially upsetting was how our children were treated. Our children were riding scooters and were stopped and told that scooters were not allowed. We were extremely confused because we could clearly see much younger children riding/driving around the campground. Our 14-year-old was not allowed to do so, while we observed significantly younger white children being allowed to ride. What made this even worse was the way our children were spoken to. They came running back to us scared and intimidated by the interaction. As parents, that was extremely upsetting to see. There is a huge difference between calmly explaining a campground rule to a child and speaking to a child in a way that makes them feel frightened. If there is a rule that scooters are not allowed, then the rule should be applied consistently to every child, regardless of age or background. What we witnessed did not feel consistent. As the experience continued, we felt increasingly targeted. We were left with the strong impression that they did not want our family there. At one point, it honestly felt like they were trying to find reasons to get rid of us, which made us question whether the campground had overbooked and was looking for a way to push us out. We also had a very concerning experience regarding payment. We were forced to pay in cash and were not provided with a receipt. As paying guests, we found this extremely troubling and unprofessional. The entire experience left our family feeling uncomfortable, intimidated, and unwelcome. Camping with children should be about relaxing, enjoying the outdoors, and making good memories—not having your children come running back to you because they are scared of how an adult spoke to them. I cannot speak to anyone else's intentions, but**based on what we personally experienced and witnessed, we felt that our family was being treated differently because of our background. Seeing younger white children being allowed to do something that our children were stopped from doing made the situation even more concerning.I strongly recommend that families think twice before booking this campground. If you do decide to stay, make sure you understand every rule before arriving, document your interactions, and keep proof of every payment. We are sharing this review because other families deserve to know what our experience was like before spending their money and vacation time here. No family should leave a campground feeling intimidated, targeted, or unwelcome.

Water recreation at Lake Nummy: Visitors to Belleplain State Forest enjoy access to lake activities just minutes from camp. "Clean facilities. Plenty of space for our tent. lake for swimming and you can rent boats. nice hiking trails and playground. About 20 minutes away from the Cape May zoo," writes April E.

River tubing adventures: The Mullica River offers seasonal water activities for campers. "We had a great time tubing on the river. Have someone drop you off at Hawkins Bridge and float down to the campground. A little over 2 hour ride," advises a visitor to Wading Pines, giving practical logistics for planning a river excursion.
Spacious tent sites: Campers appreciate generous accommodation space at Atlantic Shore Pines Campground. "The site we had was a pull through and very spacious. The whole place was quiet and clean," reports Dave B., noting the campground is "about 20 minutes from LBI, and 35 minutes from Ocean City."
Lake amenities: Water features rank highly among luxury camping priorities. A visitor to Ocean View Resort Campground shares, "This campground had it all from a huge pool and unbelievable splash pad to a great swimming pond with a beach! They just completed a new camp store building that has everything you could think of from camping gear to beach chairs and floats!"
Seasonal camping community: Long-term campers create a unique atmosphere. "Very clean! Mostly seasonal residents with new and properly maintained sites. Very friendly, as almost everyone waved when we went by," writes Stacy D. about Pleasant Valley Family Campground, highlighting the welcoming environment for short-term glampers.
Bathroom facilities vary widely: Campground bathhouse quality differs significantly throughout the region. "Bathhouses were clean and well maintained," at one campground, while another visitor noted, "Bathrooms need an upgrade," showing inconsistency across properties.

Dump station limitations: RV waste facilities may be problematic at some locations. "The worst was the dump station. It is just a little hole on the side of the road and the ONLY dump station for the 3 campgrounds! It was very unlevel and not easy to fully dump our tanks," warns Anne H. about Mays Landing Resort.
Narrow campground roads: Vehicle navigation requires caution in older facilities. "Staff at office said all the roads in the CCC section were 2-way. Not wide enough in my opinion but we didn't have a problem," notes Frank J. about Belleplain State Forest.
