Jellystone Park South Jersey houses upscale glamping accommodations for vacationers seeking comfort in nature, with both cabin-style and canvas tent options available. The campground features a refreshing swimming pool, modern restroom facilities with showers, and full hookups for those staying in premium glamping sites. Wharton State Forest's Atsion Recreation Area also offers glamping options with lakeside locations perfect for kayaking and canoeing enthusiasts, though these accommodations are more rustic in style. Both locations provide picnic tables and fire rings at each site, allowing for outdoor meals and evening gatherings. Potable drinking water is available throughout both properties, and the more luxurious Jellystone sites include electricity and water hookups. One visitor noted, "Our site was roomy with plenty of mature shade trees, and the pool and surrounding amenities are nice and clean including lake, snack bar, and ice cream."
Guests staying at Jellystone Park South Jersey can participate in organized family activities throughout the summer season, with special programming during holiday weekends. The recreation area includes a lake for swimming, fishing, and paddling, along with hiking trails that showcase the unique Pine Barrens ecosystem. At Wharton State Forest's Atsion area, glampers enjoy direct access to waterfront sites where personal kayaks and canoes can be launched right from some campsites. Batsto Village, a historic iron and glass community dating back to the 1700s, lies just 15 minutes from Atsion, offering educational tours through preserved buildings. According to a camper, "While camping at Atsion family campground, you have free access to the recreation center (the beach and some trails). In the area there are historic buildings and ruins you get to by off-roading on all dirt roads."

Quiet, Clean and Friendly
We 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.

Revolutionary History near Delaware River
Nestled along the picturesque Delaware River in beautiful Bucks County, Washington Crossing Historic Park is one of those destinations where American history practically jumps out from behind every tree. This sprawling, beautifully preserved historic park commemorates George Washington's daring Christmas night crossing of the Delaware in 1776, with charming colonial buildings, expansive green spaces, shaded walking paths and lovely riverfront scenery. Divided into Upper and Lower sections, the park offers plenty to explore, from historic homesteads and interpretive exhibits to scenic picnic areas and the impressive Bowman's Hill Tower. Unfortunately, while the park delivers a wonderful outdoor experience, traditional overnight camping isn't part of the equation unless your a Boy Scout or accompanying one of their troops.
HIGHLIGHTS: (1) Spectacular Revolutionary War history at the very site of Washington's legendary Delaware River crossing; (2) Beautifully maintained grounds featuring mature trees, open lawns and scenic riverfront views; (3) Fascinating colonial-era buildings, historic demonstrations and educational exhibits that bring America's founding history to life; (4) Wonderful recreational opportunities, including walking, cycling, fishing, kayaking and picnicking; and (5) Convenient proximity to charming New Hope, the Delaware Canal towpath and Bowman's Hill Tower, offering plenty of opportunities to extend your adventure.
LOWLIGHTS: (1) No conventional public tent or RV camping, with overnight group camping restricted to organized Scout groups by prior arrangement; (2) No dedicated RV campsites, electrical hookups, water connections or dump station; (3) Park grounds generally close at sunset, limiting opportunities to linger into the evening; (4) Some historic buildings and attractions require admission fees or operate on limited schedules; and (5) Periodic restoration projects and special events can restrict access to certain areas, while the historic Washington Crossing Bridge's three-ton weight limit makes it unsuitable for larger RVs.
Happy Camping!

Ocean View Resort Campground
One of the best campgrounds I have ever stayed in
This 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.

Pine Barrens New Jersey
This 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.

Don’t go unless you want harassment
My 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…

Beautiful campground, loud campers
Beautiful 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.

First 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.
Guide to Winslow
Camping in the New Jersey Pine Barrens near Winslow offers a distinctive ecosystem with sandy, acidic soils supporting unique plant communities and seasonal wetlands. The area sits at a modest elevation of around 100 feet above sea level, creating a flat terrain that's ideal for novice hikers and families seeking accessible nature experiences. Winter nights can drop below freezing between November and March, making spring through fall the prime camping seasons.
What to do
Kayaking and canoeing on Wading River: Launch directly from your campsite at Wharton State Forest's Bodine campground for easy water access. "Our site was right on Wading River and we launched our kayaks right at the site! Our tent has a full view of the sky and at night it was like a planetarium as we admired the sky from our cots," reports Dina S., who enjoyed the rustic experience.
Explore historic sites: Visit Batsto Village, located 15 minutes from Wharton State Forest's Atsion Recreation Area. "Batsto is a 15 minute drive. Hikes start either there or you can access from Atsion as well. There are little trails around the campsite too," notes Steve, who found the location convenient for exploring multiple historic sites.
Off-road adventures: The Pine Barrens feature extensive sand roads accessible to properly equipped vehicles. "Great location for hitting the 4x4 trails," says Sean W. about Brendan Byrne State Forest, which offers immediate access to the region's network of sandy forest roads.
What campers like
Spacious, private sites: Many campgrounds offer generous spacing between sites. "Very spacious campsite, although the closest water spigot wasn't working. Not a big problem as there are plenty of others," mentions Megan S. about Brendan Byrne State Forest, highlighting the ample room at each site.
Clean facilities: Most state forest campgrounds maintain well-kept restrooms. "Bathrooms were clean but most of the faucets on the sinks were broken. The water has a very high iron content," notes Frank J. about Parvin State Park Campground, giving visitors realistic expectations about water quality.
Yurt camping options: For those seeking alternatives to tent camping near Winslow, New Jersey, several parks offer yurt accommodations. "We 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," shares Lisa S. about her stay at Belleplain State Forest, one of the few locations offering yurt camping in Winslow area.
What you should know
Water quality varies: Iron content in groundwater can affect taste and appearance. "The water has a very high iron content. I couldn't even use it for tooth brushing," warns Frank J. about Parvin State Park, suggesting campers might want to bring drinking water.
Bug preparation essential: Ticks and mosquitoes are abundant, especially in warmer months. "Ticks were very active on this visit be sure to remember your bug spray and tuck your pants in your socks!" advises Megan S. about her June stay at Brendan Byrne State Forest.
Limited cell coverage: Most Pine Barrens campgrounds have minimal connectivity. "Virtually NO cell service with AT&T, TMobile or Verizon. AT&T was the better of the 3," reports Anne H. about her stay at Belleplain State Forest, helping visitors plan accordingly.
Tips for camping with families
Lake activities: Several campgrounds feature swimming lakes with designated beach areas. "LOVE!!!! I always get site #8 and it has an amazing view of the lake. While camping at Atsion family campground, you have free access to the recreation center (the beach and some trails)," shares Alexa L. about Wharton State Forest.
Playground access: Consider site location relative to play areas. "Site is great for people with families as there was a playground within 50 feet so it is a bit louder and busier," mentions Rosie R. about Old Cedar Campground, noting the convenience and potential noise trade-off.
Structured activities: Some private campgrounds offer organized events. "The campground has def changed in the last 10 yrs. Cabin rentals are everywhere and have replaced a lot of transient camper sites," observes Stacy D. about Adventure Bound Campground (formerly Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Elmer), highlighting the evolution toward more family amenities.
Tips from RVers
Site levelness challenges: Many natural sites require significant leveling. "Site 116 in CCC section (only section with electric and water). Good privacy," notes Frank J. about Belleplain State Forest, identifying the specific loop with hookups.
Dump station limitations: State park facilities may be basic. "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," warns Anne H. about her experience at Wading Pines Camping Resort, suggesting RVers plan extra time for this process.
Shared hookups: Water connections may require extra equipment. "The water hookups are shared every other site (at least in the Fence Loop). I was lucky my 75' hose barely reached the distance needed. Be sure to bring extra hoses," advises Matt S. about his stay at Old Cedar Campground, providing a specific, practical tip.
