6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Full hookup RV camping is available throughout the Cape May peninsula at several established resorts. Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort offers full water, electric, and sewer connections with paved sites that are notably close together. "Our tent site was on a slope, and completely flooded the fire ring when it rained," noted one visitor, highlighting terrain challenges that can affect even the more developed sites. King Nummy Trail Campground provides RV sites with 50-amp service and accommodates larger motorhomes, though several reviews mention the predominance of seasonal campers. Sun Retreats Avalon (formerly Big Timber Lake) features big-rig friendly sites with full hookups and operates from mid-April through mid-October, though campers report narrow interior roads that can make maneuvering challenging for larger rigs.
Between Cape May and Wildwood, RV travelers should plan for busy summer seasons when advance reservations are essential. Most campgrounds in the region provide dump stations, though site quality varies considerably among properties. Seasonal operation is standard, with most parks closed from November through March. A camper at Sun Retreats Avalon noted, "The roadways are narrow and there isn't a lot of maneuvering room. We have a 42 ft 5th wheel but the website said it could accommodate the size. The bad thing is that there are trees all the way up to the street which limits your turn radius." Pets are permitted at most parks, though breed restrictions may apply. Campground amenities typically include cable TV connections, WiFi (often described as unreliable), and on-site markets. Many RV sites throughout the area offer beach access within a 15-minute drive.
"Tent site was fantastic, level, trees are well trimmed, but still with good coverage, sites are a nice size. Close enough to the bathroom and water options. Campground well appointed."
"It is nearly impossible to not disturb neighbors with slide outs, noise, etc. as the sites are barely wide enough for a camper and a picnic table."
"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."
"It is a mostly seasonal campground with select sites for campers, but these sites have beautiful views of the marsh and sunset. Clean facilities. Great location close to Cape May and Wildwood."
"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."
"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."
"well maintained, wonderful pool and splash pad, great location!!"
"Kids love the lake. Bathroom cleaned daily. Could use more showers. Nice and quiet at night."
"We stayed 2 nights at Land & Shore and the first night was Friday night and all 6 families that are members with our own sites were hanging out around a fire pit and at 1016pm someone security person"
"Close to beaches and food. We’ll be back!"
"Great location, the friendliest and most helpful staff, beautiful surroundings, lots to do, kid and pet friendly"
"This campground is very family friendly. There is so much to do. If you do go make sure you go for a week so you can try to do it all. Very calm and and relaxing."
"Site #271 Full hookups: 20/30/50 amp water & sewer
Very nice/small campground on the Sinepuxent bay."
"Beautiful location with lots of space for everyone. Great beach and tiki bar. Pools for the family and very pet friendly."
from $65 - $350 / night
"Very large RV resort. Seemed like they were mostly seasonal campers/RVs/tiny houses. Campsites were a reasonably good size, but close together. We were able to fit our 32 ft."
"Little shade, which may be an issue in the hot summer, but after summer is awesome! Level sites, some with concrete slabs. Close to the beach, restaurants and Ocean City."
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.
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.
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.
RangerThis place is so special! The beaches are so peaceful, you can ride bikes, kayak, and the park also offers activities through the spring and summer — even Yoga on the beach! The spaces are large, the bathrooms are very clean. It is safe and quiet. There are wild horses, and you have to be mindful of how you store your food but it is fun to watch them. There is something so exciting when you come over the bridge to the Island and see the marshes and dunes. Plenty of restaurants and other things to do in the area, but we often don’t want to leave once we are there! We do like to go to Berlin Md once while there. 410 Social is a great place. Anyway you can’t beat the sunrises and sunsets at Assateague. It’s not easy to get a reservation, but don’t give up, it’s worth it!
GuideIt is a big, busy campground with only two loops with electric hookups. There is no shade. You are steps from the beach and at many sites can hear the ocean at night. The horses can be a menace and will raid campsites. There are sites of many sizes and some pull- throughs. It's nice but very weather dependent.
GuidePretty easy camping trip, plenty of room to set up camp. Level spots. We stayed on south inlet campground. They have small camp store multiple laundry and bath houses. Great stay if you enjoy fishing, as. You can fish the inlet at the campground. They have a very nice playground for kids as well! Only negative is no camp fires allowed, they do have a community area you can have a camp fires allowed. Also no wifi
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…
ScoutGreat place. Close to beach. No septic hookup
Cape May RV camping sites typically operate seasonally, with the majority closing between November and March due to coastal New Jersey's winter conditions. Most campgrounds near Cape May Point are within a 30-mile radius of the southern Jersey shore, placing campers close to wildlife refuges, coastal wetlands, and beach areas. Sites across the region vary significantly in size and privacy, with inland options generally offering more spacious accommodations than beachfront properties.
Wildlife viewing at Assateague Island: Sun Outdoors Ocean City, located within 30 minutes of Assateague National Seashore, provides access to wild pony viewing. "We stayed in the 'big rig' site within Club Castaway right on the water as we have a 40ft rig. Our dog, Daisy, loved the beach and the dog park and socialization w her pooch friends," notes one camper at Sun Outdoors Ocean City.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple campgrounds offer on-site fishing access. At Treasure Beach RV Park, guests can fish directly from their sites. "We enjoyed fishing in the stocked lake, caught some bass and large brim," reports a visitor to Treasure Beach RV Park & Campground.
Beach access with transportation options: Several campgrounds provide shuttle services to nearby beaches. "Free shuttle to nearby Berlin & Ocean City. Short drive to all Ocean City has to offer," mentions one reviewer about the transportation options from Sun Outdoors Ocean City.
Water-based amenities: Many RV parks feature multiple water attractions beyond basic pools. "Nice pool, lake, waterslides, and proximity to cape may," notes a camper at Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort.
Entertainment options: Themed activities are popular at several campgrounds. "This campground is super fun for the kids. They have old time plays, skits, and activities," writes a reviewer about Sun Outdoors Frontier Town, highlighting the Western-themed entertainment available.
Evening social gatherings: Many Cape May area campgrounds host regularly scheduled events. "Every weekend there's a band or DJ at the beach at night and every visit we have made friends. There are usually food trucks and things for the kiddos like bounce houses during the day," shares a frequent visitor to Treasure Beach RV Park.
Variable site quality: Sites vary significantly in size and privacy across properties. "We had a large pull through lot with our 36 foot fifth wheel. Friends had a tiny lot with their shorter camper. They had no privacy," notes one camper at Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort, highlighting the inconsistency in site sizes.
Staff responsiveness issues: Customer service quality varies between properties. One visitor at King Nummy Trail Campground had a positive experience, stating, "Management was excellent. As encore park, cleaned up mess of reservations that thousand trails made for us."
Site drainage problems: Some campers report terrain issues during rain. "Our tent site was on a slope, and when it rained the site collected water," reports a tent camper.
Seasonal camper dynamics: Many parks have a high percentage of permanent seasonal campers. "It seems this excuse for a bivouac is more of an angry full time trailer park than a RV campground," cautions one frustrated visitor.
Age-specific amenities: Consider campgrounds with dedicated children's facilities. "The jumping pillow, water balloons and a nice playground for kids," mentions one family that enjoyed Mays Landing Resort.
Budget for activities: Many campgrounds charge additional fees for attractions. "They have a water park, putt putt golf, pools, allows pets. Also has Wild West Show and Ice Cream Parlor. Very enjoyable campground for the whole family," notes a visitor to Sun Outdoors Frontier Town, though most attractions beyond the pool cost extra.
Consider shoulder season visits: Less crowding and better site availability exist outside peak summer. "We went in Mid-October as a weekend shakedown trip for our new camper. As NJ locals were looking to test out this campground near the shore," shares one family that found better conditions during off-peak periods.
Access challenges: Interior roads at many Cape May area campgrounds can be difficult to navigate. "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. The park itself was a bit dated. But it was very quiet and the people were friendly," notes an RVer at Mays Landing Resort.
Reservation timing: Book early for summer stays. "We stayed here for 4 nights. We usually stay at a different campground but we unable to book there so we thought we'd try out SRA," explains a camper at Sun Retreats Avalon, highlighting the competition for sites during peak season.
Site selection strategies: When possible, request specific sites. "We stayed in site 402a and it was a nightmare backing in and getting out of. We have a 42 ft 5th wheel but the website said it could accommodate the size. The bad thing is that there are trees all the way up to the street which limits your turn radius as well as cement marker poles," cautions a large rig owner at Sun Retreats Avalon.
