"We did Chinatown and walked part of the Schuylkill River trail which we accessed by parking near Fairmount Park."

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."

ScoutChoose another campground unless you are certain you can arrive before 4pm. Otherwise, you'll not be allowed in. Owner is belligerent on this point, and from other comments, belligerent on other issues also.
We strongly recommend the nearby French Creek State Park campground.
LegendWe 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
LegendOverall, 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.
ScoutBathrooms are clean and staff is nice
TravelerThe camp site was amazing. Everything is neat and clean and really beautiful place so quiet.
ScoutNice site. Neighbor not to close. Bring extra water hose. The connection is not very close.
GuideThis campground has everything. Conveniently located, short drive to Dover, Wilmington, Annapolis and Baltimore. The sites were very large and spacious. Sites can accommodate any type of trailer or vehicle. Plenty of site hookups, areas for tents. There is a camp store, several washer and dryers. The best private, individual shower booths and even a pond to go fishing in.
ScoutThe 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!
ScoutThis is our 3rd time at this park, it is one of our favorites. Well maintained, very quiet. We stay in Loop A (full hookup) pet friendly. Sites are spacious, generally large but they are all back-in sites.
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.
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.
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."
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."
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."
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."
