You can also Zip line or swing through the trees if you would rather," explains a camper who visited Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort.

What campers like
Clean bathroom facilities: Cleanliness stands out as a priority for many campers. "The bathhouse has on male and one female stall each. Laundry facilities are free for use and in like new condition," reports a military veteran who stayed at NWS Earle RV Park.
Privacy in primitive sites: Many campgrounds offer more secluded options away from RV areas. "I immediately went to the office to ask to move to a primitive site and they allowed us to move without any issues. We ended up setting up camp at site 31 - which was spacious enough for two large tents and very private," shares a camper from Little Red Barn Campground.
Well-maintained pools: Swimming facilities receive positive mentions at several campgrounds. "The pool was nice and level side to side. Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it. Same with their patio set up around the store," notes a visitor to Stonybrook RV Resort.
What you should know
Bathroom distance considerations: At some campgrounds, facilities can be far from certain campsites. "Primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds. Cons: only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites," advises a tent camper at Little Red Barn Campground.
Privacy varies significantly: Site layouts differ dramatically between campgrounds and site types. "The sites are lined up next to each other along the campground driveway and there are absolutely no trees or shrubs between them," warns a local resident about Green Lane Park.
Seasonal closures and limitations: Several campgrounds operate on limited schedules. "We came in at end of season, so pretty much everything seems closed. But, it's a beautiful campground and the part of PA is great too," notes a fall visitor to Thousand Trails Scotrun.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access timing: Swimming facilities operate on seasonal schedules. "The pool is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult," shares a camper who visited Little Red Barn Campground.
Playground proximity: Consider site location relative to play areas. "The playground was luckily right across from us up on the hill. They also have a Frisbee golf course on site," mentions a family staying at Robin Hill Campground.
Activity planning for kids: Some rv sites near Stockton, New Jersey offer organized events. "They had an art activity for the children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night," reports a mother who visited Robin Hill Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Many RV campsites require adjustment. "Our site was almost level but in order to reach the electric connection, we were sloped slightly downhill side-to-side," notes an RVer at Little Red Barn Campground.
Site surface conditions: Weather impacts can create challenges. "Sites are swampy if they've had rain! Took us over two hours to disconnect because of mushy, muddy site," warns a camper at Robin Hill Campground.
Reservation timing: Popular camping areas near Stockton fill quickly during peak seasons. "This place has never come up in any of my searches for a campground but my wife was frantically trying to find a place to stay for Memorial Day weekend. They had one site left that we were lucky enough to grab," shares an RVer who stayed at Stonybrook RV Resort.
