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."

Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with several reviewers mentioning limited connectivity at more remote campgrounds.

Can t wait to move on to a cleaner park.
ScoutI’ve stayed here multiple times over the past 15 years and I have enjoyed each trip.
Depot Travel Park is a well-maintained family-owned campground. It is also reasonably priced, especially given the location that is within a bicycle ride to the beach, the ocean, and lots of shops and restaurants in Cape May. It is the only campground on the Cape May side of the canal.
Please note that this is not a resort campground and it doesn’t have a pool. There is so much to do in Cape May that is doesn’t need to be a resort.
Since it’s not a resort campground, there are not many golf carts, so most people use their bicycles or cars to get around. That also makes the campground pretty quiet, even during the peak of summer.
The campground sells firewood and propane, but there is no camp store. Again, it doesn’t really need one, since there is a farmers market at the end of the driveway, and a CVS and an ACME supermarket within bicycle riding distance.
If your site doesn’t have a sewer hookup, the dump station is a little awkward to access, but they have a daily honey wagon for a reasonable fee, which is great. If you notify the office the day before you need it and they are usually there in the morning.
They close for the season n October, but they reopen briefly during the Cape May Christmas Parade weekend in December. That’s one thing that I’d like to do soon.
I really like this campground and I am always recommending it to friends.
ScoutMy check in was for 8-6-2026, and bc I’m a new driver and wanted to beat traffic I got there early (7am) so I sit there waiting till check in time. When suddenly the park police show up. He’s accusing me of camping over night there. I told him simply I wasn’t and where I was night prior (would never sleep somewhere without permission). So we go to the store to kill time before we check in. Come back for Check in and the whole staff in just the office alone were so arrogant and cold to my mom and I, leaving rude comments to us and not only where they like that but the staff outside the office was acting like that alongside the rangers and park police. They would watch us the whole visit in the distance parking there cars a little ways watching everything we did,even driving by slowly a bunch of times in just an hour alone. My mom and I couldn’t do anything with out them showing up 2 mins later. Example we were walking our dog enjoying our time(trying to) and all of a sudden one of the office ladies pulls up right in front of us speeding, parks their car, gets out and walks a distance from us standing there and taking pictures of us…. For walking our dog who’s on a leash and didn’t even do anything. The whole trip we felt uncomfortable and unwanted and to find out they police when we were going on walks where coming up to campers near us bribing them with free firewood to get any information on use (told to us by other camper). I paid a lot of money to be harassed and followed the whole time. We never did anything we abide by every rule and keep to ourselves everywhere we go. They even made my mother cry…
GuideBeautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
ScoutGreat place. Close to beach. No septic hookup
ScoutLove it every year . We g for mother's Day. And the schedule for the events they do during even just the weekend make for fun filled hassle free weekend
ScoutFirst time at this campground really like it a lot will be returning. The bathrooms are always clean. The grounds are always kept up. Just a really nice place to stay. Most of the sites have some kind of shade.
GuideI personally did not like this campsite. First of all, our site tag was leftover from SEPTEMBER. Did no one look at any of these sites and leave someone else’s registration posted there for almost a year? Wild. Our campsite had trash leftover from previous campers. The whole campground was loud - from other campers to just the sounds from the nearby road. If you are looking for peace it is NOT here. If you’re looking to have loud music time all night with no repercussions as your kids ride around yelling and carrying on past midnight then you’ll have a blast. The pros of this campsite was supposed to be the access to Lake Atsion but we were turned away at the gate at 12:30 as they stated they were at capacity. Checking into our campsite they specifically asked if we would be utilizing the recreation area so we would have a pass for entry, but that’s seemingly not in their logistical headcount. I would not visit here again.
ScoutI recently stayed at Site 36, and unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. The biggest issue was the campsite itself. Site 36 is extremely small, with neighboring campers only about 5 feet away on one side and roughly 12 feet behind the site. There was very little privacy, which made it difficult to relax. Many of the nearby sites appeared to be occupied by long-term or permanent residents. Several had large amounts of personal belongings stored under tarps, giving the area an unkempt appearance. In addition, the neighboring campsite had children's bikes, large toys, and other miscellaneous items overflowing onto the site I had rented, making it feel even more cramped. Another major concern was the constant cigarette and marijuana smoke. It was noticeable throughout much of the day, and because of the smoke, I couldn't comfortably leave my camper windows open. At over $110 per night for a full hookup site, I expected a much better experience. I understand the campground told me there were no other sites available, although I did notice a few empty sites during my stay. Whether those sites were reserved or unavailable for another reason, I can't say, but Site 346 should not be rented at this price given its condition and lack of privacy. Overall, I would not stay here again and cannot recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing camping experience. Its great for daily tubing but as a camper they lock the fence that gets you to the bridge so you have to take a long walk around although non campers can pull right up, it makes no sense to have a pass through that's locked.
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.

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."

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.

At Hospitality Creek, Matt S. reports, "The pools are nice and have on-duty lifeguards all day."
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."

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."
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."
