Pleasant Valley Family Campground

2 Reviews Add Review

Pleasant Valley Family Campground sits in Estell Manor, with paved roads leading to sites that accommodate both seasonal residents and short-term visitors. The campground maintains hookup sites with what reviewers describe as proper upkeep, though site 217 in the back area presents challenging pull-in access despite offering larger lot space. A monitored pool operates during season, and the facility enforces quiet hours that limit loud music and overnight partying.

Campers report heavy mosquito activity requiring repellent, particularly in back sites that offer more privacy between lots. The campground shares lake access with a public beach, leading to fence-jumping issues from day visitors trying to avoid admission fees. Bathroom facilities receive weekend cleaning but may lack maintenance during weekdays. Dogs stay welcome in the campground but face restrictions from lake areas including the designated dog beach. For additional camping choices, consider campsites near Mays Landing.

Primitive

While we needed to be in the area, we selected this campground for its lake access. Come to find out that it’s a shared pay-public beach also. All day, every day, we had folks jumping the fence near our site to sneak into the campground so they wouldn’t have to pay. Sympathetic with the owners. Bathrooms and showers were very dirty and only got cleaned on the weekend—had lock code to keep public out. Not much privacy between sites, very dusty and rutty roads. No internet available and poor cellphone reception. Dogs allowed in campground, but are not allowed in lake—even on dog beach.

Wonderful place

Very clean! Mostly seasonal residents with new and properly maintained sites. Very friendly, as almost everyone waved when we went by. Pool was open and monitored. Office staff was so nice. We had site 217 in the back. Was difficult to pull in to but the lot size was big. Lots of mosquitos tho-I was eaten up so bring repellent! Very private and quiet place. They have rules in place and it seems everyone follows them. No loud music or partying all night here. 25-30 mins to ocean city boardwalk.
