Best Campgrounds near Cape May Point, NJ

A short ferry ride from Cape May Point takes you to Cape Henlopen State Park Campground, about 13 miles away in Lewes, Delaware. This busy campground fills up fast in summer, so you'll want to book ahead to secure a spot near the beach, bike trails, and nature center. Killens Pond State Park Campground sits 31 miles from Cape May Point and tends to be less crowded, with a nice pond and walking paths through the woods. The roads to both places stay in good shape year-round, though it's smart to check for any closures before heading out. You'll find clean bathrooms and showers at both campgrounds, but expect somewhat tight quarters at Cape Henlopen. RVs of different sizes can fit at either place, with Cape Henlopen typically seeing more large rigs. Both offer water and electric hookups for campers needing connections. Taking the Cape May-Lewes Ferry adds a fun element to your trip if you're heading to Delaware. Bug spray belongs at the top of your packing list, as mosquitoes can be thick near the water. Whether you prefer tents or trailers, the camping around Cape May Point works well for a few days of outdoor time.
