Best Campgrounds near Vineland, NJ

Campgrounds near Vineland, New Jersey range from established state parks to family-oriented private facilities, with most offering a mix of tent, RV, and cabin accommodations. Parvin State Park Campground, located in Pittsgrove Township just northwest of Vineland, provides water and electric hookups, showers, and reservable sites from April through October. Belleplain State Forest, approximately 25 miles southeast, offers year-round camping with tent sites, RV spaces, and glamping options. The region includes several privately operated campgrounds like Old Cedar Campground and Spacious Skies Country Oaks that cater to both seasonal and weekend campers with varying levels of amenities.

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.

The New Jersey Pine Barrens ecosystem surrounds many camping areas near Vineland, providing unique landscapes and recreational opportunities. 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.

    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.

    • Easy access from I-95 

    • Beautiful park setting with fantastic site— spacious, level, good-working hookups, and paved 

    • Friendly and helpful staff 

    • Great state park with lots to do (kayaking, biking, and more) 

    THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: 

    • There’s nothing we didn’t like about this place 

    WOULD WE COME BACK? 

    • Absolutely, this is a nice place with plenty to do
