Wading Pines Camping Resort

this place is great for families with children. But if you’re looking for a quiet kid-free-get-away, I wouldn’t recommend.

Lots and lots of children  

Stayed for a long weekend with the family. Management at the front office/store were very nice and welcoming. Camp sites were very tight together. The seasonal sites were a little routy but didn't keep us up too late. Kids loved the fishing pond and exploring fantasy island. Found out too late that the train only ran on the weekends, kids were pretty bummed.

Friendly management but ...

Clean nice staff nice campground 

The campground is very close to home, and a lot of people around our area (central jersey) go there yearly or have seasonal sites there, but for us, it was our first time at the campground.  The campground was full of plenty of amenities like basketball, volleyball, cornhole, playground, pool, crafts, bands, a lake, and fishing. The place was clean, and there was no garbage around. 

The positives were there were plenty of things to do and they also have this great river that goes through the place so you can walk and throw your tube in and float to the other side of the park 30 mins later get out and do it again. They campground will also bring you up the river further and drop you off on a canoe trip. There is an added cost for rental.   I like that they allow you to bring your own golf cart and/ or electric scooters or bikes.  They had an old school playground which was better then any new one out there.  The store was fully stocked with anything you could possibly want or need.  They had a band which played Saturday night and people lined up golfcarts from all over and just lived for this concert. 

The negatives are for me campgrounds spots were right on top of one another but they were big spots they dont have tons of trees or shade which.   They did have many seasonal sites, which sometimes turns me off and can make the place look a little trashy.  The other negative was that the pool was freezing because they would pump water out every night.  Someone told us there was an issue with the chemicals, and the pool looked greener every day.  The bathrooms by the pool were older and always dirty.
