Have stayed here many years; great for families with kids. - from TripAdvisor.com
|
The campground is a bit on the more expensive side, but it's a great place for families with children due to all the activities they have for the kids every day; organized sports, candy-bar-bingo, canoing, etc.
They're in a prime location, a half hours drive to Ocean City or Cape May, and right down the street from the Cape May County Zoo. But the campground is also off of the main roads, so there is no infiltration of highway noises whatsoever.
The facilities are generally well kept. The campsites are close together, but generally wooded. They have cabins, tent sites, RV sites, and seasonal sites.
There is a sense of community among those who stay all summer at the campground, and I could see this being slightly off-putting to those who just want to spend a long weekend there. Everybody knows everybody & their business. The staff does ride around at night looking for riff-raff, and also looking to charge you for an extra car parked overnight. Unlike another reviewer stated, drinking isn't prohibited but they do tend to crack down on loud parties after dark.
Overall, a nice place to stay, more so if you're staying all summer instead of just a weekend.

This Was An Enjoyable Campground. - from TripAdvisor.com
|
We stayed here in a travel trailer. We stayed at a lovely site near the lake. The campground is very family friendly. They have good security. They have a well stocked store. They have a good snack bar and game room. The workers were very efficient and professional. This is about 15 minutes from Cape May proper and close to stores and other retail places. The ferry to Lewes Delaware was a great day trip. I would return here.

Stay Away... From this Place - from TripAdvisor.com

I have gone camping for many years now ,and this is by far the worst place i have ever visited .
The "fishin lake" is in fact a pond filled with algae and frogs.
The Bathrooms are beyond filthy
No privacy, the roads are on all four corners of your campsite, it feels like you camping on the highway.
They tell you, you cant drink and repeat it several times on the phone, when you check in, And security drives around checking to make sure your not drinking. Camping fires are not allowed, they tell you there is a drought when in fact there isn't one.
They tell you they have the right to screen there "clientle" and if your not there type they will not let you in.
The people at the front gate/ behind the counter have no idea what customer service is like, they yell at you and are very rude...
avoid this place.. don't waste your money,,,,
