We went on the last weekend of their regular season. The site we had, #2, was great. A lot of shade which is what we like. The Showers could have been cleaner but were not too bad. The staff was friendly. There is no Cable unless you are seasonal and pay for it yourself. When I questioned the owner about cable...Well lets just say it was a sore subject with him. He did say that by next season, most sites should be hooked up. There are plenty of trails to go hiking on and you are close to just about everything. Cedar Creek is great for canoeing or kayaking. They also have a few, I think 30, winter sites with full hook-ups. The wiFi is not free and we couldn't connect anyway even though we weren't too far from the office. I do plan on going back. It is very close to where we live and it is a nice place for a weekend getaway. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Above average campground.Friendly staff, clean showers and restrooms. Close to beach and boardwalk. We stayed in the loop area of campground. Close to the playground, pool and camp store. It was convenient for us with having little kids. Camp store is very well stocked. Ice cream bar was a hit with the kids. 2 minor issues: Game room needs updating with newer games, and entrance into the campground needs to be better marked. Overall a pleasant experience. We would go back and camp there again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We have camped here many times over the past 3 years, all 4 seasons too. The owners are always improving the grounds & with few CGs left in NJ this place works .The place like other CGs can get crazy during peak times "summer". I have 3 kids 6,7 & 15 we always stay in the loop area around the pool,PG & Store. The sites are level unless u back in too deep. The CG is close to everything! having family close I know. You don't need to drive 30mins, a County beach is 5mins away on the bay for Fishing, crabing & Swimming. Off season is the best time, Very quiet. In summer when you have 3 kids its nice to cook, sit & sip under the awning while watching them at the park or a few steps to the pool. Most important is the Staff, Grounds, E-W-S all work fine. CGs at the shore or even in NJ are getting harder to find, note not one KOA in NJ!! For us having "Cedar" only 1 1/2 hours away & this close to the Ocean/Boardwalks & AC works. Try getting a room near the beaches for less then $100 per night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for 8 days to be somewhat close to the ocean. Our site was okay, not a place you want to sit by the fire and relax. But since we were here for the ocean it didn't matter. The best thing about the campground was the pool, with water slides. They did have a nice hayride with Santa on the weekend. The beaches were still 30 minutes away which made for a long commute each day. They also didn't keep the pool open late in the evening. Also the pool which said the shallow was 4 feet deep was not the case, I could barely touch the bottom and I am 5'7", so for families with young kids who can't swim this could be a bummer. But for kid's who were swimmers it was wonderful!! When we visit the shore again I think we will choose someplace closer. The bathrooms were disgusting and never really got any better, but luckily we have our own bathroom which we used instead. Overall, we won't come here again, we were a little disappointed.

If I was reviewing this campground for tenters and others with small trailers, I'd rate it higher. However, due to problems noted in earlier review (low hanging trees, narrow hilly roads, etc.) this campground is not the best choice for big rigs unless you can get one of the open sites near the pool. Having said that - we loved this place! It rained the entire time we were there but it has everything we need and the location can't be beat - just 20 minutes from the state beach. Or, if you prefer the boardwalk atmosphere, that's nearby too. Lots of shade, bathrooms were cleaned a couple times each day, well stocked store. Oh... my kids said I should mention that the shallow end of the pool is too deep for little ones. Small gameroom, ice cream and snack bar counter that served breakfast were nice extras.

Nice family campground. Negatives: sites not really level. Cable TV is a joke with only about 15 channels) and mediocre picture, at best. Some interior roads are narrow, too narrow for big rigs. Confusing entry sign - we turned up the wrong road and others we spoke to said they did the same. Positives: Very friendly staff, helpful in every way. Clean, updated bathhouses. Sites were relatively large by area comparisons and spacing between sites was good. Most had good shade, particularly those in the back part of the campground. Good, updated playgrounds. Very clean pool. Camp store was well stocked. Campground has good location with everything you could need within 3 miles (groceries, liquor store, etc.). Close to the ocean beaches. Nice area for a family to vacation. Seasonals were friendly too! Would definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
What a great Campground. The sites were nice and large with plenty of room to set up and hang out. Friendly staff and a large pool. Easy drive to the shore. I will definitely come back here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
