Cabin accommodations near Grenloch, New Jersey tend to be most available from April through October, with select facilities like Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA offering year-round options. Most campgrounds providing cabin rentals sit within a 20-mile radius of Grenloch in the relatively flat terrain of southern New Jersey, where summer temperatures typically range from 75-90°F with moderate humidity. Winter cabin rentals become limited as many facilities close seasonal operations between November and March.
What to do
Fishing at multiple lakes: Goshen Pond at Wharton State Forest offers excellent shoreline access for anglers. "Our site was right next to the Mullica River, and had excellent views if you walked just a couple steps from the tent. We were able to put our kayaks in right next to the site which was very convenient," notes one visitor to Goshen Pond.
Historic site exploration: The Atsion area features numerous historic buildings and ruins accessible via dirt roads near the campground. A camper at Atsion Family Camp mentions, "In the area there are historic buildings and ruins you get to by 'off roading' on all dirt roads. Great places to kayak and Pineland Adventures right down the street has wonderful trips!"
Live entertainment options: Several campgrounds host seasonal concerts and events during summer weekends. A visitor to Jellystone Park South Jersey appreciated that "Our site was directly across from the Pavilion which was great for Saturday night's live band." Evening activities often include themed gatherings, movie screenings and holiday celebrations from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
What campers like
Lakefront site privacy: Campers consistently mention the value of water-adjacent sites for both views and activities. At Hospitality Creek Campground, one reviewer noted, "Our site(#57— Lakefront Premium Waterfront) had full hookups and everything worked fine. The site was a good size, covered in heavy mulch, and is level. The photos of the lake were taken from our site to show this really is waterfront."
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds receive praise for their bathroom maintenance. One camper at Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA was impressed that "The park is clean, quiet, full of families. The staff are friendly and welcoming. It's easy to navigate to the park from the interstate, and big rigs fit easily."
Variety of accommodation options: From tent sites to glamping cabins, the region offers diverse sleeping arrangements. A visitor to Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA shared, "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."
What you should know
Seasonal closures are variable: While most campgrounds close for winter, some have extended seasons. A camper at Old Cedar Campground mentions, "We went to Old Cedar Campground in Monroeville, New Jersey, for a quiet getaway weekend. This is a small and basic campground, not a resort. No fancy amenities."
Water quality varies by location: Several campsites have reported issues with water quality or access. At Parvin State Park, one camper warned, "The water has a very high iron content. I couldn't even use it for tooth brushing. Most of the showers were out of order. The toilets were clean but had the orange staining from the iron in the water."
Site differences within same campground: Sites at many facilities offer dramatically different experiences even within the same property. A Four Seasons Family Campground visitor cautioned, "The site we were in wasn't very well marked. The dog park was large, but no shade at all which is a big deal in the heat."
Tips for camping with families
Look for structured activities: Campgrounds with organized programming provide entertainment without additional planning. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Elmer, "The campground is maintained and there are activities for the kids always brewing. We stayed fathers day weekend and they had a breakfast, games and crafts geared towards it."
Check water feature height requirements: Some splash pads and water attractions have minimum height requirements. A visitor to Jellystone Park - Elmer 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."
Consider proximity to playgrounds: Sites near playgrounds offer convenience but may bring extra noise. At Parvin State Park, a visitor observed, "Site is great for people with families as there was a playground within 50 feet so it is a bit louder and busier. We loved the free and clean showers and bathrooms but we had to drive to them from our site."
Tips from RVers
Pack extra water hoses: Some campgrounds have shared hookups that require longer connections. An RVer 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."
Note road conditions: Many campgrounds feature narrow or unpaved access roads. A visitor at Parvin State Park warned, "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. No hook ups but there are potable water faucets and a dump station."
Check arrival timing: Late arrivals may face challenges with site location and setup. At Four Seasons Family Campground, one visitor suggested, "Don't plan on arriving after dark as there is no type of lighting other than what the other campers have lit up."
