If you want to explore the beauty of Wildwood, glamping is an excellent option. The Dyrt can help find the best glamping in and around Wildwood, NJ. Whether you're looking for a quiet location in the woods or a site closer to all the action, The Dyrt makes it easy to find the perfect glamping spot.
Cape Henlopen, just 43 miles southeast of Dover, has the distinction of being one of the United States’ first public lands. Recognized for its beauty and natural features, Pennsylvania founder William Penn decreed that the area should be preserved for the enjoyment of the local citizenry. That was nearly 3.5 centuries ago. Over the course of that time, Cape Henlopen has served several purposes but has always remained accessible to the public. In 1964, it was designated a Delaware State Park. Today, the park serves as an idyllic destination where campers, hikers, anglers and nature lovers can explore and appreciate the sand dunes, pine woods and tidal marshes in the same way the Founders did so long ago. The campground in Henlopen State Park is the perfect base to explore the area and enjoy many of the park’s attractions and activities. The campground offers a variety of tent and RV sites (many with 2-point hookups), walk-in tent sites, ADA accessible sites, and camping cabins that can accommodate up to six people. Amenities include bathhouses with showers, dump and recycling stations, a playground and an amphitheater. Camping is available from Mar. 1 through Nov. 30; seasonal campsite rates range from $20–$59/night; camping cabins range from $70–$130/night. When it’s time to play, the sky’s the limit. Four hiking trails are available for exploring the area’s pine forests and coastal dunes, visiting bunkers and watchtowers in the Fort Miles Historic Area, or taking in views of Delaware Bay and the Henlopen Lighthouse. Stop by the Nature Center and learn about some of the local bird and sea life (bird watching guides available), or take advantage of the park’s Borrow-a-Bike program and take a pleasant ride around Cape Henlopen’s bike path. For fun on the water, take a dip in the Atlantic at one of the swimming areas, try crabbing or surf fishing, or rent kayaks and go for an ocean paddle. There’s also disc golf and sports courts available for getting your game on. With so much to see and do at Cape Henlopen, you might just need to plan a longer visit!

Fun for the whole family. Lots to do and the beautiful beaches of Cape May, New Jersey are a short 10 minute drive. The different types of camping/glamping experiences exceeded my expectations. We enjoyed the Deer Crossing Teepee which had far more luxuries than any other glamping I have done. Highly recommend this campground resort.
GuideA beautiful wooded campground close to the beaches of Cape May, New Jersey. Very family oriented and really a great place for adults too. We stayed in a teepee and it is one of the coolest places I have camped. These days I like glamping and this was the best experience yet!
Legend
We stayed at Holly Shores for just a one-night getaway over Mother’s Day weekend.
The park was easy to find and located just a few minutes’ drive from Wildwood beaches and a few extra minutes to Cape May beaches and attractions. The entry gate was tight with no room to park while registering. I ended up down the wrong way on a one-way road because there was no signage.
The front office staff was unable to provide any direction to our site. He gave me a black and white map and wished me good luck. We made it through the curvy roads to our site, but were disappointed at how tight a fit it would be for our 36’ motorhome. After some strategizing, I backed in on a diagonal or there’d be no way to open our slides. This was ok, but it meant forfeiting the use of about half of the concrete pad.
Our site(#H58) was cramped, but nicely wooded, as all the campground seemed to be. This was nice. Even though our stay wasn’t during hot weather, I can see how the shady park would be enjoyable during the peak summer months. The entire site was level and covered in stone, concrete, and a little grass. The water, electric, and sewer hookups worked fine. They offer cable TV, but we didn’t use it.
There’s a nice nature trail that starts at the back corner of the park and we even enjoyed wandering all around the park’s windy, tree-lined roads.
There was a small store at the front office for emergency items, but there’s plenty of retail stores and restaurants within 1-2 miles in case you need anything.
We were disappointed by the cramped site assignment because I’d indicated the size of our RV when making the reservation. There were a handful of empty sites that could have more easily accommodated our rig.
Other than the tight fit(which knocked off a star in my rating), this was a nice campground with a nice looking pool area and plenty of nearby places to visit in the southern tip of NJ. We’d certainly stay here again.
Guide
Very clean camp with all the amenities! Friendly and knowledgeable staff and plenty to do in the area!
This camp offers sites for everyone! There is Cabins, Spots for Tents, xxl RV’s, and more. Close to Ocean City, Assateague and the coolest little town Berlin!
There is a big pond to fish there with bass and bluegill lurking inside and a little camp store for all your basic needs!
Not a bad place for a family getaway or a stop along the way! Prices have gone up but that’s expected with glamping spots.

We started camping for the first time in 2020 and were extremely new. We jumped right into the Class A and went to Castaways for the first trip. While there we had many problems with the Class A. Not mechanical problems but "never having camped" problems. The staff at Castaways bent over backwards to help us out the entire weekend. Never did I see a frown or " here they go again" face but always asking if there is anything else they could do for us. Because of them we have fallen in love with camping or glamping as we know it. We made several trips to Castaways last year and in 2021 our first inaugural trip was there again. We had no problems this year but it is very reassuring to know that if we need help we can ask. The staff remembered us from last year (hopefully that is a good thing) and we will definitely go back. Thank you Castaways for giving us the "Love of Camping" .
Scout
Arrived at 1pm on Wednesday. Check in was smooth. They allowed me to drive around first and pick out a campsite before checking in. They charge $5 extra for a dog. So far it is very quiet and that's what I was looking for. It's just a short drive to the ocean is:Cape May, Ocean City New Jersey.
Ranger
This place was recommended to us by a friend when we first started camping. We've been back many times since then. It's very close to everything, but you don't even need to leave the campground! There are a ton of activities! Certain areas in the campground are very "buggy" and it can get a little pricey, but it's the best place we've been to in New Jersey so far.
TravelerWe stayed in a yurt. it was a great experience that we would definitely do again. There is a small lake that was great to kayak on.
Scout
Very friendly staff and always willing to go the extra mile. Bathrooms are clean, a number of activities are always scheduled. A short drive to the Wildwood or Cape May beach. I love Beachcomber.
GuideWe stayed here the last weekend in September and it was wonderful. It's only 6 miles from the famous Wildwood boardwalk but you never have to leave the campground because they have so many planned activities. We stayed in the Ultra VIP section and had plenty of room to back in (total combined length of our truck and trailer is 52'). Nice concrete patio and all hookups worked well.
Legend
We spent an extended weekend at Sun Outdoors at Rehoboth Bay(formerly called The Resort at Massey’s Landing). And we had a blast!
Located on Rehoboth Bay, this resort was a great place to spend a long holiday weekend. Our paved site was just a few steps to a private beach which was really nice and clean. The campground included a heated pool with swim-up bar, kids activity pool, camp store, ice cream shop, and restaurant with bar. There’s no reason to ever leave the property!
We found the amenities and facilities were clean and maintained. Our site(# 214) was level and the full hookups all worked fine. This is a dog-friendly resort in all areas except the swimming pools. Daily trash pickup from the site is a great convenience. Even though the place was full for the holiday weekend, the staff handled everything well and always had a friendly greeting (including dog treats for our 4-legged traveller).
We had the opportunity to take the Cape May Lewes Ferry from and back to New Jersey. Driving a motor home onto a boat is an experience by itself. And we were fortunate to have great weather for our entire trip.
This is a great place and we can’t wait to come back!
THINGS I LIKED:
Private beach
Clean and well maintained property
THINGS I’D CHANGE:
TravelerWe stayed here because it was within biking distance of the beaches at Stone Harbor, Wildwood, and Cape May. The tent sites were close together and since it was Labor Day weekend it was pretty full. There were a lot of things for kids to do but it was not the kind of camp ground for peace and quiet. Several sites were playing music until 11:00 every night. The bathrooms were a little worse for the wear but the pool looked nice.
ScoutLooking for a trip to the Jersey shore (near Stone Harbor, Avalon, Wildwood, Cape May, & more) - look no further than Shellbay Camping Resort. Great sites for camping with electric and water, seasonal sites with water, electric and sewer hookups and extremely well maintained grounds, paved roads, with family friendly rules to ensure enjoyment by all. Enjoy evenings by a campfire and days by the pool or at the beach. The family owned campground makes you feel a home away from home from May - October 1.
Scout
We had a pump out site. They come around every day to pump out your system. One day we got missed, and I spoke to someone in the office. They were there to pump us out (special trip) within the hour. There are also full hookups. It's a nice wooded area much nicer that across the street where it's more like a camping city. This campground is much smaller and very quiet. The pool is nice and very clean. Bathrooms were clean also. It's about a half hour drive to Wildwood, but so worth it. I suggest booking way in advance, they tend to fill up. We love this place and are coming back again this year.
Guide
There were so many great things about this campground. It was beautiful and had so many different amenities including a little man made beach in the center of the campground. Our only issues were it was pretty pricey for tent camping (65 a night) and the mosquitos were INSANE! Also, a few of the showers were down, so it was difficult to get in there and everything cost extra. It was a quarter run shower. The location was perfect if you wanted to visit Cape May or go into Wildwood only 15 minutes away. I’d say it is perfect for RV’s, campers, or if you are renting a cabin for your family, but as a tent camp location it was a little extravagant for what we were looking for with our trip.
ScoutWe 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. While the campground has its perks, we were put off by the behavior of the seasonal campers. Overall, we will not be returning.
Pros
Cons
RangerWe stayed at site q4 which was significantly unlevel. The lots are paved And it had a lot of gulleys that I will try to demonstrate through pics. It leaned towards the hookups plus the gulleys. It was so bad that we had to rehitch and move more towards the center of the already small lot. Lots of birds pooping on us fro the bushes/trees. Also the place is over run with teenagers and the quiet hours are not enforced. Neighbors were up until 2 am talking and could hear it since the site was so close together plus someone was yelling “woo” for quite a while around the same time. The pro is the location situated between cape May and wildwood. The kids liked the lake but for some reason the slides were closed. Q04 is by the pool and we kept smelling my the dump station. It is also across From a garage that sounded like a compressor running all day and night.
LegendWe went to Ocean View Resort in New Jersey to kick off the 2022 season in our new Fleetwood Discovery LXE. And we’re glad we did!
This campground is located less than two miles from Exit 17 off the Garden State Parkway. It’s located a short drive from popular shore towns including Avalon, Sea Isle City, Cape May, and Ocean City. We found the park easy to access and navigate.
The check-in process was easy and the front office staff was friendly. I appreciate being expected when stepping up to the front desk.
The most amazing part of our experience was our‘Deluxe 50 Amp Pull Thru’ site# E19. It was HUUUUUUGGGGGGE! See my photos. Our site had full hookups including 50-amp electricity, good water pressure, easily-accessed sewer connection, cable TV with limited channels(some were not clear), and Wi-Fi which was hopelessly slow. Tall trees provided some shade and privacy. The site was covered in gravel and stone, which is great because it didn’t get muddy after the rainstorm we experienced one night. I highly recommend sites E15-E27(E14 slopes too much for my preference). Most sites are seasonal trailers or-park models, but they appeared generally clean and maintained.
The campground, our site, and facilities we visited were clean and well-maintained. Not all facilities were open as the full season begins in a few weeks. The campground store carries a variety of food and drinks, camping and RV supplies, clothing, pool toys, and souvenirs. This came in handy when I needed to replace a damaged sewer hose.
It’s a good sign when it’s difficult to think of negative comments. If I’m being nit-picky, I’d share that the trash and recycling dumpsters were overflowing and unsightly. This could be because it was opening weekend. The firewood they sold was nice and dry, but they don’t deliver it to the sites. This meant I could only purchase what I could carry for my walk back to my site.(I believe offering delivery would be a major convenience for campers and result in increased sales for the campground.)
This was their opening weekend for the 2022 season. While we expected inconveniences or less-than-ideal conditions, we found the place was prepared for the new season and we had no issues. The lake, swimming pool, and cafe hadn’t opened yet, but we’ll be sure to visit those amenities during our next visit later this summer.
THINGS I LIKED: Site was huge and clean with well-maintained full hookups, gravel, and shade trees. Campground is clean and maintained. Store was well-stocked
THINGS I’D CHANGE: No delivery for firewood Slow Wi-Fi Limited working cable TV channels
GuideThis campground is very tight, the campsites are on top of each other, and it is filled with kids and very loud teens. The quiet hours are disrespected and it reminded me of dorm living...screaming, blaring music, etc.
The amenities are nice if you want lots of activities for your kids...the swimming pool is nice. The store is nice, and the grille was good. The lake was warm and the kids loved it but I didn't care for murky "lake" water. To me it was more of a large pond, not a lake. The slides they advertise were only operating one out of the five days we were there. There is mini-golf but we didn't play so I can't review it. They do have laundry facilities (we did not use them), bath houses (didn't use them either), and a "fishing" lake that I never saw anyone fish at and it was more like a murky tiny pond, not a lake.
There are MANY seasonal sites there, which is neither good for bad, but lots of semi-permanent residents.
Besides being on top of our neighbors, the actual site was nice. It had a nice firepit, a picnic table, a slab patio area and there were trees for shade. We happened to be on the main road in/out of the campsite so there was TONS of traffic.
The roads were narrow and difficult to navigate around the facility with a 5th wheel in tow.
Staff was great...helpful and kind.
The location was central to Wildwoods and to Cape May (about 10-15 minute drive from both)
ScoutWe stayed in tents. Clean facilities. Teepees looked awesome. Want to return and stay in a teepee.
TravelerI do not recommend this campground. From overpriced nothing special sites. To super tight streets. No campsite WiFi. Cable does not have any channels. Sites are nothing special. Security will knit pick rules and make new ones as weekend goes on. Changed noise time from 11pm to 1030 on Memorial Day Weekend. Very unhelpful staff. Reservation process is the worst. Don’t know site until you arrive. Nickel and Dime you to death. Charge extra for second vehicle with 3 day minimum (they will not tell you this in the phone. They will surprise you when you arrive). Their seasonal campers with park models will cry and complain with anything and everything you do. And let's not talk about speed limit. Will pick who to yell at for speeding on a golf cart while full size vehicles are flying through. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else. Plenty of other choices.
Guideit offers a variety of camping experiences including teepees. A short 10 minute drive to Cape May beaches. Lots of activities at the camping resort and swimming either in one of three pools or a fresh water lake. I totally loved the teepee and exceeded my expectations. Everything was fantastic.
GuideTook a weekday trip super early this year. It’s cold but we are having a blast. We love the stand boxes for your tent. Only one other tent camper here.
GuideI stayed here last year. no info in bath housed, we showed in our camper. cable TV and wifi work ok. close to beaches. sunset and beaches on either side if ferry terminal jetti are free and no cost to park. they are on the bay so small waves. there's a lake and pool at the campground. staff and fellow campers are friendly. the entrance is unlit at night and sign us hidden by their shrubs if coming from the south. that's my only complaint
TravelerSun outdoors was very quiet. Many full timers.
ScoutLove the place, but their wi-fi is awful.
ScoutAwesome experience all around. Campground is secure at all times, tent spots were slightly smaller than what we expected but did the job nicely. All staff were helpful and even let us check in early. Very clean and tidy bathrooms. Beautiful campground, definitely going again!
