Both locations combine natural surroundings with resort-style comfort, providing fully-furnished canvas accommodations that bridge the gap between traditional camping and hotel stays.

The sites offer a perfect balance between seclusion and convenience, with nearby opportunities for swimming, hiking, and wildlife observation. According to a camper, "Our 36ft site backed up to a raised balcony overlooking the bay. Less than 100 feet from the front was the beach and the Atlantic Ocean view." Seasonal availability varies, with Wildwood operating from April through October while Smith Point maintains year-round access for premium glamping experiences. Advance reservations are essential, particularly for waterfront safari tents during summer months.
