Best Jersey Shore RV Campgrounds
Camping season is just around the corner and beach vacation destinations are booking up fast. Although we love our home state of Pennsylvania, it’s noticeably lacking in ocean views, so we’re hitching up the travel trailer, hopping in the truck and heading east to the Jersey Shore. Enjoy summer sunshine and peaceful ocean waves, splash around with the kids at the water park, or relax with a drink by the pool at these ten gorgeous Jersey Shore campgrounds.
Ocean View Resort Campground
The Ocean View Resort is easily one of the best Jersey Shore campgrounds, with tons of water activities inside and outside the park. One camp amenity sure to be a hit is the Buccaneer Bay Splash Park – a pirate-themed water park in the campground! Play on the “anchored” pirate ship, spray water on unsuspecting parents, and slide down the wreckage into the shallow waters. The campground is pet-friendly and has access to Greenbriar Pond for relaxing catch-and-release fishing. Other notable camp amenities include the Ocean View Café, the lake pavilion, two playgrounds, an 18-hole mini golf course, free boat storage during your stay and more!
Ocean Isle Campground
In Ocean View, New Jersey, Ocean Isle Campground offers RV, tent and cabin sites for campers of every style. The 28-acre campground provides easy access to all your favorite South Jersey towns, from historic Cape May to action-packed Atlantic City and all the beaches in between. The campground includes a large pool to cool off, two playgrounds and plenty of group activities.
Baker’s Acres Campground
On TripAdvisor, Baker’s Acres is ranked the number one campground in Little Egg Harbor, New Jersey, thanks to the mixture of on-campground activities and local history hubs. The campground includes games like horseshoes, bocce ball, volleyball, and even has a dedicated photo op spot. The campground was founded in 1968 by the Baker family, giving it a family-owned feel. You can also dive into the local, and surprisingly bloody, history of a small town like Egg Harbor – first mentioned by Captain Cornelius Jacobsen May in 1614.
Sea Pirate Campground
Just a few miles from Long Beach Island, this pirate-themed campground is a treasure chest of fun for the whole family. The campground paths have pirate-themed names like Peg Leg or Calico Jack, and you can enjoy sea-themed activities such as fishing, crabbing, kayaking and more. On the not-so-pirate side, the campground includes a camp store, dog park and arcade.
