3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds are available within 30 miles of Wenonah, New Jersey, with options ranging from full hookup RV campsites to year-round concrete pad sites suited for big rigs. Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA provides full hookup sites with 50-amp service, while Mays Landing Resort operates seasonally from April 1 to November 1 with water, electric, and sewer connections. "The sites were tight and when our neighbor parked his truck in his spot, my chair could almost touch it," noted one camper about Mays Landing. Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake in Port Republic features pull-through RV pads suitable for larger rigs, though some sites may require leveling blocks. Village Scene Park in Hatfield, Pennsylvania remains open year-round with concrete pads that accommodate big rigs.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer weekends and holiday periods when most parks reach capacity. Dump stations are available at most locations, though Military Park Fort Dix Range 14 Camp lacks shower facilities despite offering full hookups. Navigation to some campgrounds involves narrow, winding roads that may challenge larger motorhomes—a review mentioned that "the roads and turns were tight for our 36' motorhome, but manageable." Pet policies vary between facilities, with most allowing dogs but imposing breed restrictions or designated pet areas. Winter camping options are limited, as several parks like Sea Pines and Big Timber Lake close seasonally, typically operating from mid-April through October.
"We stayed in the small tent loop at this private, primarily RV resort. First, the good stuff: The tent loop was empty for our 5 night stay with the exception of night 1. We were at site F17."
"The onsite stores prices were very inexpensive which surprised me. Halloween decorations were the best. The playground was great my daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt."
"There was a craft show in the barn which was nice. Only two dump stations for a pretty large park. We would camp here again but not over a holiday."
"The campsites available are primitive or have water and electric and bathhouses / restrooms are located in a few spots around the park. Fire rings are at each site, but appear to get moved a lot."
"This is a nice, flat campground so great for bike riding. While there are MANY seasonal sites, we never felt unwelcome - quite the opposite!"
"Our camp site was perfectly level. We were close to the Cape May beaches. Cold Spring Brewery wasn’t too far and was fun."
"The two ladies had a greater handle on the operations of the very nice facility."

"Close to beaches and food. We’ll be back!"

ScoutWe stayed at the group site campground with our horse. We found the sites to be large, and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and they have fall activities for the family, at the lake and nature hikes. The porta potty's are very clean, have hand sanitizer and plenty of paper. Will be returning again in a few weeks. Plenty of trails to ride on. A true gem in our own backyard.
LegendLocated just off US Route 1 in the upscale Princeton area, this spacious Lowe's serves up a surprisingly pleasant patch of pavement for weary road warriors looking to catch some shut-eye. Set back roughly 80 yards from the highway, this big blue home improvement retailer offers a generously sized parking lot with relatively manageable traffic, good maneuverability and a quieter atmosphere than you might expect from such a busy suburban retail corridor. The western and southern edges of the lot are particularly appealing for an overnight stay, and with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several other retailers nearby, convenience certainly isn't in short supply. Better yet, the store management was friendly and accommodating when we called ahead to arrange our overnight visit.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spacious, paved parking lot with plenty of room to maneuver larger rigs; (2) Convenient access to US Route 1 and nearby I-95; (3) Western and southern parking areas offer quieter spots away from the busiest customer traffic; (4) Excellent nearby conveniences, including Trader Joe's, Starbucks and several dining options; and (5) Friendly store management that welcomed our overnight stay, plus surprisingly good opportunities for outdoor recreation nearby.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) Some daytime retail traffic and occasional road noise, although nothing terribly disruptive; (2) No RV hookups, dump station or dedicated overnight camping facilities; (3) Parking areas closest to the store can become crowded during business hours; (4) Limited greenery and little of the scenery you'd expect from a traditional campground; and (5) While the overnight experience was excellent, this is still a commercial parking lot rather than a destination for an extended stay.
Happy Overnighting!
TravelerMany long term seasonal sites. Good community. Large shower house good and clean . Pool. Game room. Off leash dog park. Wooded/shady sites or no shade sunny sites. Lots of area to walk or play. Large field, basketball couture, frisky golf, play area and laundry room. We were here all summer (June-october). Lots to do in the area. Good food nearby. Ocean city 10 minutes away.
ScoutThis is one of the largest, if not the largest, campgrounds in Southern New Jersey. While on the pricier side, everything is top-notch. The roads are all paved, and not gravel (I hate trying to sleep and listening to the sound of stones grating together). The sites are more spacious than most campgrounds, so it doesn't seem so crowded. The bathrooms are all modern and spotless. There are numerous bathrooms which means most sites have one nearby. They do charge a quarter for showers to encourage water conservation and donate the money to conservation causes. The pool is large, as is the lake. Both are well-maintained. The camp store is enormous and is really nice and well-stocked with everything one might need from food to pool and beach stuff to camping supplies and equipment. There is a nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The camp store has a lending library of books and DVDs. There are numerous activities that appear to be well-run, The grounds are shaded with many trees for a great wooded campground feel. The campground is so large that it has an internal shuttle with stations scattered about to help people go between the various important sites such as at the pool, the lake and the store. I found other campers, particularly the seasonals, to be more friendly than other campgrounds at the shore. This requires constant tree care including removing dead trees and branches which they do regularly. The staff is friendly and well-trained. I was in a tent, and when a rare October nor'easter came through, I was offered the opportunity to use a cabin free-of-charge. Fortunately my tent and equipment made it through days of rain and high winds just fine . On my first stay in May, I had to run my dog back to Baltimore towards the end of my trip where he was sadly diagnosed with incurable metastatic cancer. When I returned, I was late and unable to check out by 11, but they allowed me to take as much time as needed to clear the site, as nobody was staying there the next day, which was deeply appreciated - I was an emotional wreck. Oh, and I found the complimentary Wi-Fi to be a great service, and sufficiently fast to allow me to stream ultra-high-definition movies at my site - Most campgrounds charge extra for less-than-good service - a lot more. I find that a big bonus. Overall, I LOVE this campground and highly recommend it.
GuideThis campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.
ScoutRestrooms are filthy with mold and mildew.
Water puddled on the restroom floor.really gross.
Cabin was mostly clean. The windows were full of dirt and bugs on the tracks.mattresses were terrible.The fireplace was nice. Kitchen was clean.
Can t wait to move on to a cleaner park.
RangerWe stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.
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.
Campgrounds near Wenonah, New Jersey range from seasonal resorts open April through October to year-round facilities. Located in the coastal plains region at about 80 feet above sea level, this area experiences humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 85°F and moderate winters where overnight freezing occurs from November through March. Most campgrounds in the region sit on level terrain with sandy or mixed soil composition.
Fishing opportunities: At Thousand Trails Chestnut Lake, visitors can fish in the stocked lake. "Good fishing, good people, nice shaded and sunny spots, beautiful pool," reports Aimee D. The lake contains multiple species and requires no special license for campers.
Miniature golf: Several rv campgrounds near Wenonah, New Jersey offer mini-golf courses. Spring Gulch Resort Campground features an 18-hole course, though as Beth B. notes, it "was fun but need to be regreened...several holes needed maintenance."
Beach access: Campgrounds in the southern portion of the region provide access to shore destinations. "The beach is within 10ish minutes and is beautiful but you're supposed to have passes," explains Nicole S. about staying at Thousand Trails Lake & Shore. Many campers use these locations as base camps for day trips to coastal areas.
Swimming facilities: Multiple rv parks near Wenonah provide swimming options. "Nice pool and splash pad. Kids love the lake. Bathroom cleaned daily," writes Patti K. about Thousand Trails Sea Pines. The facility maintains both pool and natural swimming areas.
Holiday activities: Seasonal events attract families to campgrounds throughout the year. At Mays Landing Resort, Herbert reports, "Halloween decorations were the best. My daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt. The miniature golf course could have been maintained better, but it was so inexpensive I couldn't consider it an issue."
Entertainment options: Some campgrounds offer scheduled entertainment. Herbert describes his experience at Mays Landing: "It was a Saturday and they were rocking. I don't know if the person playing the music was a professional DJ, he was incredible. He has to be the greatest campsite DJ ever."
Site conditions: Many campgrounds have uneven terrain requiring preparation. At Village Scene Park, Stuart K. notes: "Sites are narrow and can feel cramped, so don't expect big pull-throughs." Similarly, Daniel C. reports about Mays Landing Resort: "Site are very unleveled so the staff switched us to a pull thru space that was a tad bit more level but still very unleveled."
Seasonal differences: Some campgrounds have significant seasonal populations. Sonyia W. observes about Mays Landing: "This is more like a long term stay place that has a couple of short term sites." Many facilities transition from transient to seasonal camping as summer progresses.
Reservation systems: Campground booking protocols vary significantly. Carl S. describes Thousand Trails Lake & Shore: "The resort did not reserve a particular site and suggested that we drive around and select the one we liked." However, some campgrounds require advance planning, especially for holiday weekends when most reach capacity.
Playground access: When camping with children, facilities with play equipment provide important recreation options. At Big Timber Lake RV Resort, Laure D. notes, "Our parents stayed in a cabin which was very nice with a bedroom, living/kitchen, and bathroom. Our camp site was perfectly level. We were close to the Cape May beaches."
Safety considerations: Water features require supervision. Danielle S. warns about Mays Landing Resort: "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."
Noise levels: Family campers should consider campground atmospheres. "It was very quiet and the people were friendly," Daniel C. says about Mays Landing Resort, while William W. had a different experience at Sea Pines: "Not a family friendly place; people skinny dipping in the lake, people smoking in public places, people cursing up a storm right next to our 3 and 4 year old."
Navigation challenges: Many RV parks near Wenonah have narrow access roads. Cyn D. describes Mays Landing Resort as having "super crowded with really narrow, winding streets. It was a maze." Site selection often requires careful maneuvering due to trees and obstacles.
Leveling requirements: Several campgrounds require equipment for leveling. At Spring Gulch Resort Campground, Beth B. mentions: "Lots were a bit uneven, but pull through which was nice." Bringing leveling blocks is essential at most facilities.
Site marking: For smaller RVs that leave during the day, site reservations need clear marking. Carl S. advises: "If you have a class B and plan to go in and out I recommend you bring some sort of indicator to mark your site as occupied." Some campgrounds provide caution tape for this purpose, but not all.
