Most developed campgrounds in the area require reservations, particularly during the summer months when facilities reach capacity. Campground roads are generally well-maintained and accessible to standard vehicles, though some sites may have sandy or uneven terrain. As one camper noted, "The ground is sandy and relatively level for easy camp set up. Some sites are close to a roadway, so you do get some car noise." Weather conditions are typically mild from spring through fall, with summer temperatures averaging in the 80s. Winter camping is limited to a few locations like Belleplain State Forest. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with several reviewers mentioning limited connectivity at more remote campgrounds.

Campers frequently mention water access as a highlight, with several campgrounds offering lakefront sites, swimming areas, and boat launches. Wharton State Forest's Atsion Family Camp, located about 30 miles northeast of Vineland, receives consistent praise for its waterfront sites. "LOVE! I always get site #8 and it has an amazing view of the lake," shared one visitor. Privacy between campsites varies considerably across the region's campgrounds. Public facilities like Parvin State Park and Belleplain State Forest generally offer more spacious sites with natural screening, while private campgrounds may have closer quarters but often provide more amenities such as swimming pools, planned activities, and full hookups for RVs.

    King Nummy Trail Campground

    Nice campground

    This was a nice campground. There are a lot of long term campers but they've got sites for weekenders too. Very close to local shops and attractions. The pool was great. They have 2 on site with a shallower one and an 8ft. No real activities or events when we were there. Bathrooms very clean and located throughout

    Sea Pirate Campground

    Lots to do

    The park was great. Very close to local sites like Tuckerton Seaport. Lots of activities on site including fishing, a heated pool, hot tub, and a couple of playgrounds. Bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. They had several activities and sent text reminders of what was going on

    Fort Washington State Park Campground

    Where George Washington Would've Ditched His Tent PPE

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with new photos, updated weathered campers’ tales and a quick snapshot of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS:

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Rustic group camping nestled in nearly 500 acres of lush forest that is perfect for history buffs and nature lovers alike; (2) Potable water and non-flush restrooms available year-round, because even Revolutionary War re-enactors need coffee breaks; (3) Over 3.5 miles of trails leading to Hawk Watch observation decks, which birders will marvel at and the rest of us will simply appreciate the vista; (4) Group tenting area that fits 20 to 100 people that is ideal for clans, clubs or covert woodland think tanks; and (5) Convenient to Philly (25 min), great for escaping crowds while still being able to Uber for donuts.

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) No RV or tent-by-the-river solo camping: group-only policy means solo adventurers need to carpool or carry heavy guilt; (2) Bathrooms are primitive and non-flush, so BYOTP as it’s campground chic here, not hotel lobby convenient; (3) Carry-in / carry-out trash policy means becoming one with your garbage until civilization or squirrels show up; (4) Cell service is ‘iffy’ at best, depending on how hard the woods are trying to keep you offline; and (5) No campfire tales about campers as noise is limited and so are late-night s'mores sessions.

    Happy Camping!

    Batona — Wharton State Forest

    Good spot to sleep

    The camp road was kinda hard to get around direction wise you couldn’t tell what was a road and what was a campsite. It was Saturday night and only two other campers but one was a huge group but thankfully not too loud. Two pit toilets that was pretty bad shape but we are used to disperse camping without toilets so we didn’t complain.

    Alverthorpe Private Park

    Urban Camping Bliss

    I’m following up on my review from over a year ago with some refreshed insight, additional photos and, well, because once wasn’t enough, here’s a quick reel of HIGHLIGHTS and LOWLIGHTS: 

    HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Hidden slice of suburban woodland tucked just outside Philly that is serene enough to reset your social media–addled brain; (2) Flat, open terrain scattered with tall shade trees makes pitching your tent feel practically pastoral; (3) Surprisingly solid cell signal (T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T all wave hello), which is rare in inner-density camping and handy for emergency pizza delivery orders; (4) Short walk to a quaint lake and four-sided chimney for marshmallow toasting that offers low-key charm with built-in ambiance; and (5) Tons of shade completely shroud the entire campground area, so no need to bring those pesky shelters for added coverage. 

    LOWLIGHTS: (1) No restroom drama on the way in, but once you’re past the control building, basic camping reality bites; (2) Ancient shelter and group pavilion are charming in a ‘needs new plumbing’ sort of way; (3) Reaching the camping area involves navigating uneven steps as you won’t be able to drive to your actual campsite, which is great for adventure, but bad for sprained ankles; (4) Feels like a weekend-only myth where the park closes on holidays and deals in ‘control building hours’; and (5) This place is known to be full of litter and in dire need of some ground maintenance, so you might just want to bring an extra garbage bag and a rake to help out.

    Happy Camping!

    Cape Henlopen State Park Campground

    So Much To Do - Not Enough Time

    Spent one night here as we were in transit from a campground near the bottom of the Eastern Shore of Virginia to home (fortunate to get a spot that fit my camper) - spots are close together - full campground even in the middle of the week after school started- but quiet at night.  Almost a mile walk to the beach - great trails for bike riding.   Restrooms were clean!  If you have a trailer, make sure that you input your trailer length to find a site that fits as they vary.   Close to food.   Staff very friendly.   Tons of stuff to do - will return when we have more time.  If you want the experience of driving on the beach - go for it!

    Ocean View Resort Campground

    Lots of fun

    This place had a lot to do with kids! Lake, pool, ice cream, arcade, mini golf, mining station, activities. Does get very crowded and definitely have to book a head. We loved where our site was located. Will definitely be visiting again.

    Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort

    Pros and cons

    We have been to this campground twice. First time everything was very clean and lots to do. The last time things had slipped a little bit. Campground was definitely not as clean. The first time there was staff riding around picking up garbage and keeping things neat. Last time it seemed like it was just a bunch of teenagers flying around on golf carts not doing much. Almost all the games were broken in the arcade. Plus a lot more seasonals. The seasonals also have a lot of political flags with profanities. Not very family friendly! Pros love the pool, lake, waterslides, and proximity to cape may Cons broken equipment, kids racing golf carts all hours of the nights, lots of seasonals with over the top decorations, with flags with profanities and cleanliness slipping. We will try it again. Hopefully they were just having an off year.


Guide to Vineland

Camping spots near Vineland, New Jersey range from lakeside tent sites to family-focused campgrounds with splash parks. The sandy soil of the Pine Barrens provides excellent drainage after rain but may create challenges for tent staking. Winter temperatures in the region can drop to freezing at night from November through March, with occasional snow affecting road access to more remote camping areas.

What to do

Kayaking at local lakes: Belleplain State Forest offers rental options at Lake Nummy. "We stayed in a yurt. it was a great experience that we would definitely do again. There is a small lake that was great to kayak on," notes Lisa S. after visiting Belleplain State Forest.

Hiking on flat terrain: Multiple hiking trails at Parvin State Park accommodate various skill levels. "The hiking is also very accessible Because it's basically pancake flat terrain," reports John S. about his cabin stay. Frank J. adds, "Nice hiking trails. If you want privacy, don't choose sites right next to hiking trails."

Fishing opportunities: Several campgrounds offer fishing access, including Old Cedar Campground. Arnold M. reports, "Love this place. It a mom and pops kinda campground. Nice pool, good fishing, staff is great." Some Mays Landing Resort campers enjoy the nearby pond, though Herbert notes, "My tent site was right next to the pond. It was a Saturday and they were rocking."

Tubing and water activities: The Great Egg Harbor River offers tubing and paddling experiences. "We had friends stay in the lean-tos nearby and others visit. The Kayak and Canoe rentals were right near us," shares Anne H. about her stay at Wharton State Forest.

What campers like

Waterfront sites: Campers praise the lakefront access at several campgrounds. "We love the lake side campsites," notes Arnold M. about his experience at Hospitality Creek Campground. Another camper, Matt S., elaborates: "Our lakefront site(#57) was superb! It was between a small, paved boat ramp and a row of arborvitae trees on the other side separating us from the neighboring site."

Rustic cabin options: Several parks offer basic cabin accommodations. "The cabins are more rustic than most, which I enjoyed. While there was a stove the heating, which was necessary in November, was accomplished via a stove," shares John S. about Parvin State Park Campground.

Large, private sites: Some campgrounds offer more spacious accommodations. "Our site was HUGE!!!! It was also super private with trees and a lot of privacy from the road and our neighbors," explains Anne H. about her Wharton State Forest site, adding, "We had room to park several cars. This would be a great site for an RV plus a few tents."

Swimming amenities: Many campgrounds feature pools or swimming areas. "Sea Isle City is not too far away if you're into the Jersey shore, restaurants, live music," notes Frank J. about his stay at Belleplain State Forest. At Hospitality Creek, Matt S. reports, "The pools are nice and have on-duty lifeguards all day."

What you should know

Water quality issues: Some campgrounds experience water problems. At Belleplain, Amanda M. reports: "The bathrooms were disgusting. Little maintenance and cleaning was provided during our weekend stay." Frank J. at Parvin notes: "Bathrooms were clean but most of the faucets on the sinks were broken. The water has a very high iron content."

Campground rules vary: Some locations have strict quiet time enforcement. Matt S. explains about Old Cedar Campground: "The website, posted signs, confirmation email, and check-in instructions all included a list of strict rules regarding conduct while on property and everyone seemed to abide by them during our stay."

Sandy terrain challenges: Many campgrounds feature sandy soil. Steve notes about Wharton State Forest: "The ground is sandy and there were puddles in the sand." Similarly, Danielle S. reports about Mays Landing: "Site F17 is the lowest point of the tent loop, which won't be a problem unless it rains."

Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly across locations. Anne H. observes: "Virtually NO cell service with AT&T, TMobile or Verizon. AT&T was the better of the 3." Frank J. confirms at Parvin: "Verizon cell service was between 1 and 2 bars."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Several campgrounds offer organized events. Nicole S. reports about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park: "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."

Swimming options for children: Many locations have designated swimming areas. Nicholas V. notes about Jellystone: "Water area is great, splash pad is very fun so is the large blow up slide and pool area." April E. adds about Belleplain: "Very nice campground tucked away in southern NJ. Clean facilities. lake for swimming and you can rent boats."

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas. Nicole S. mentions: "My 3 yr old loved the playground and pool." Herbert observed at Mays Landing: "The playground was great my daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt."

Site selection for safety: Parents should consider site location carefully. Danielle S. warns about Mays Landing: "Parents of small children and toddlers: the tent loop is surrounded by water on 3 sides. There is no safety fence. The water is mostly standing water so expect mosquitoes."

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: RV campers should check utilities before booking. At Spacious Skies Country Oaks, Matt S. notes: "We stayed in Site# 14- a pull-thru with 50-amp, water, and sewer. The hookups seemed to work just fine."

Site leveling requirements: Many sites require leveling blocks. Daniel C. from Mays Landing cautions: "Sites are very unleveled so the staff switched us to a pull thru space that was a tad bit more level but still very unleveled."

Road conditions: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads. Cynthia notes about Parvin: "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." She adds, "My rig is 31 ft class C and it was fine for me but a larger rig may have a tough time maneuvering the narrow roads."

Dump station planning: At some campgrounds, dump stations can be problematic. Anne H. warns: "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."
