Old Cedar Campground

The site is daily small and you are potentially packed in there. However there are few nice spots tucked away in the woods with plenty of privacy.

We spent a few weeks here, waiting for school to end so we could take our 6 year old granddaughter back to our home in Florida. We had previously lived in Monroeville so had the opportunity to visit family and friends. The wonderful part was having them visit us - for $8 per day the grandchildren were able to play miniature golf, swim in the pool (they had pool toys to borrow) fish ( and yes they caught bass), every Saturday they had an organized activity for the kids…. EVERYONE was extremely friendly. I will definitely return - best kept secret!!

Quiet during the week - numerous seasonal campers. Reservation only includes 2 people - it’s 8.00 per day for each additional person. The bath house(s) are centrally located near the camp office. My grandchildren loved visiting us, pool was clean - they had a few items that they could borrow - fishing was great - playground was adequate. Mini golf was fun for all. There was also activities for the younger kids - making slime😉.

★★★★ Quiet Getaway Weekend 

We went to Old Cedar Campground in Monroeville, New Jersey, for a quiet getaway weekend. This is a small and basic campground, not a resort. No fancy amenities. We stayed in Site# 51 in the Fence Loop- a pull-thru with 50-amp, water, and sewer. The hookups seemed to work just fine. The all-grass site just fit our 37’ motor home(see photos). 

This was our first stay at this campground— and we’re glad we went. The most unique aspect we found was the cow pasture(see photos). It was a lot of fun watching the cows eating and interacting. I intentionally reserved the site we had to be close. This row of sites lacked the trees for shade and privacy found at most other sites around the campground. 

The pool was nice and clean. Wifi worked well enough for us to stream Netflix and YouTube. We didn’t use the shower or laundry facilities. 

The website, posted signs, confirmation email, and check-in instructions all included a list of strict rules regarding conduct while on property and everyone seemed to abide by them during our stay. The language seems a bit rude at first, but we all agreed we’d rather stay at a place with hands-on management and compliant campers than deal with noise and unsafe conditions. 

Couple of negatives and tips: 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. There’s no cable TV which wasn’t an issue for us because we have plenty of streaming options. Bring your own entertainment if you’re used to watching TV. 

If your travels take you in the area of Salem County, NJ, this place is worth checking out. You might like the cows and the basic quiet surroundings as much as we did! 

NOTE: I try to review the places we stay based on what they’re trying to be. Resorts with manicured grounds, water parks, and lots of amenities should be reviewed differently than basic campgrounds in my opinion. Every place starts with 5-stars and loses stars for things I believe could and should be better.

Very quiet Campground. Easily can sleep late here! Clean, woodsy and nice staff. I'm here all season

Stayed for 10 days. A bit pricey for what ya get, in my opinion. (We were helping some friends get their house ready to sell and this was the only place that had a spot for the time frame we needed.)

The staff was nice and friendly. The place was well kept. Many spots had trees but we couldn't get one as they stated our rig would not fit... I beg to differ.... probably just a way of getting more $$ from us. Oh well so be it.

We got there, the host wasn’t very friendly. We had to pay $50 per night for a tent site that was sandy mud. The facilities were nice and they had a pool and some other amenities. Somebody found a snake in there trailer so watch out for those 😂

We were here about 10-15 yrs ago and swore we’d never go back. I’m glad we did. They’ve added a pool and are working on a mini golf area. Nice playground, basketball court, 2 fishing areas. Almost all the seasonals are new(er) campers and even the older ones are well maintained-180° change from the old, dilapidated, junk filled campers from our last visit. We faced the cow pasture so we had a great view. No prob w bugs. Sites r close together but not on top of each other. Overall, a nice quiet place and we will return.

Nice for a quiet weekend.

Love this place. It a mom and pops kinda campground. Nice pool, good fishing, staff is great.

Nice campground. Not close off the highway, but wooden sites. Seems as though people spend their summers there. Pool was beautiful and looked new. Mini golf was decrepit and looked abandoned. Store was nice. Very nice welcome. Lots of kids. A little loud with music but quieted right now at lights out. No complaints.
