    Camping options near Stone Harbor, New Jersey include several well-maintained campgrounds offering a range of accommodations within easy reach of coastal attractions. Facilities like Sun Outdoors Cape May and Shellbay Campgrounds are located approximately 10-15 miles west of Stone Harbor, providing tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals. The campground landscape features a mix of privately-operated resorts and some public lands, with amenities varying from basic tent platforms to full-service RV sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. Most camping areas are situated inland from the barrier islands where Stone Harbor is located, typically within a 20-30 minute drive of beaches.

    Seasonal considerations affect campground availability in the region, with most facilities operating from April through October. "We had perfect weather at this nice campground. Sites were sandy. There was foliage between sites though they were close together," noted one visitor at Sun Retreats Avalon. Summer weekends tend to fill quickly, especially during holiday periods when advance reservations are strongly recommended. Many campgrounds enforce minimum stay requirements during peak periods. The region experiences humid summer conditions with temperatures frequently reaching 85-95°F, while spring and fall offer milder weather. Most campgrounds in the area are relatively flat, making them accessible for all vehicle types without high-clearance requirements.

    Campers consistently highlight the convenient access to beaches as a primary advantage of camping in this area. Several mixed-use campgrounds near Stone Harbor provide amenities like swimming pools, recreation halls, and organized activities that supplement beach trips. A camper wrote, "Looking for a trip to the Jersey shore - look no further than Shellbay Camping Resort. Great sites for camping with electric and water, seasonal sites with water, electric and sewer hookups and extremely well maintained grounds." Family-friendly environments are common at most facilities, though reviews indicate varying experiences with noise levels, particularly during peak season. Campground options range from smaller, quieter properties to larger resort-style facilities with extensive recreational offerings. Water activities, including swimming and boating opportunities, remain the major draw for most visitors to camping areas in the region.

      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

      Tight spaces

      Nice campground. Way bike trails to the nearby fort and museum, site E11 was right on top of site E9 so you get to know your neighbors other sites were less crowded

      Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay

      Nice resort

      We had a nice visit. Sun is in the process of fixing the place up. The swim up bar was being restored. My only negative was the site two places up played there stereo live music loud. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. They did get called out for it by management.

      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.

      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!

      Brumbleys Family Park

      Horrible

      Lived there full time up until a branch fell on our camper and totaled it. We took her rent and told her our plans and she sat there and said keep me updated. We were going to get another camper so I called to let her know and asked if it was ok and she was very quiet then said I'd rather you not. So you knew what we intended on doing a month before we decided to go with another camper but you instead of telling us face to face you were a coward and delayed us finding another camper so now we are scrambling to find a place. She doesn't know how to run the campground, she never even sent us a formal notification to vacate our lot just word of mouth. washers are old and don't work correctly. I would not recommend it at all. Always nitpicking my son for being outside and being a boy. Very flat and bizarre affect. Hard to deal with. No tent sites no activities for the kids. Bugs are super bad no kind of pest control done.

      No call back

      I called the reservation number and was told to call a different number. I call that number and it was a wrong number. Then I went back to their website. And put in my information. It's been a day and a half , and I still haven't heard from them. So I moved on and got a different reservation.Somewhere else. The lucky I gave him a star.

      Atsion Family Camp — Wharton State Forest

      Quiet Secluded Happiness

      I got really into camping this year and this was a lovely place really close to my house and I love how easy it is to access and the fact that even if I wasn’t there on time for a check-in, I could still go to my site. Everything’s really easily accessible in terms of water and the bathrooms. I do a lot of car camping so I don’t necessarily do the hike in options, but they also had a bunch of different family locations and there’s a beach that’s really close by if that’s a part of the park, I believe.

    Guide to Stone Harbor

    Campgrounds along the New Jersey coast near Stone Harbor provide varied accommodation options within 30 minutes of beach access. Several established campgrounds including Sun Outdoors Cape May, Shellbay Campgrounds, and Thousand Trails Sea Pines support tent camping, RV sites, and cabin rentals. Mixed-use campgrounds with amenities like swimming pools, playgrounds, and camp stores characterize the camping landscape in this region. Most sites feature electric hookups, water access, and fire rings, with some offering full sewer connections for extended stays. The coastal location provides convenient access to Stone Harbor's beaches, Cape May attractions, and the Wildwood boardwalk.

    Seasonal considerations strongly impact availability at Jersey Shore campgrounds, with most operating from April through October. "We had a pump out site. They come around every day to pump out your system. It's a nice wooded area much nicer than across the street where it's more like a camping city," wrote one camper about Adventure Bound Campground. Advance reservations are essential, particularly for summer weekends and holiday periods when occupancy reaches capacity. Belleplain State Forest, open year-round, represents one of the few camping options during winter months. Sites typically feature sandy terrain with varying degrees of shade, and summer humidity can be considerable. Most campgrounds implement quiet hours around 11 pm, though enforcement varies by property.

    Family-friendly environments dominate the camping areas near Stone Harbor, with several reviewers noting organized activities for children during summer months. Swimming pools serve as popular gathering spots during hot weather, offering respite from summer heat. Proximity to beaches represents a primary draw, with many campers using campgrounds as a more affordable base for day trips to Stone Harbor, Wildwood, and Cape May beaches. A reviewer of Shellbay Campgrounds noted, "We stayed here because it was within biking distance of the beaches at Stone Harbor, Wildwood, and Cape May. The tent sites were close together and since it was Labor Day weekend it was pretty full." Clean facilities and well-maintained grounds receive consistent praise, though some campgrounds experience crowding during peak season, with sites positioned close together limiting privacy.
