Country Camping at Cape May Courthouse

The sites here have been nicely leveled and are spacious. Most are separated from adjacent sites with trees and shrubs, surfaced with sand, gravel and some grass and have full hook-ups, picnic tables and a fire ring. This facility is clearly geared to accommodating large RVs. Many sites are large enough to not only accommodate a large RV but also provide parking for a companion vehicle. We never felt crowded.

Roads to the sites are wide, clearly marked and are free of hanging tree limbs that would drag on large vehicles and trailers. Using the large color map provided during check-in, there is no need for an escort during daylight hours. Analog cable TV hookups are included but Wi-Fi is an extra charge. For group meetings there is both an indoor and outdoor pavilion. A game room and snack bar is open for limited hours. The campground store in the same building as the check-in counter has a good stock of basics. Baths, showers and the laundry are clean and modern. Propane is sold on site for filling portable tanks. Other amenities include an outdoor basketball court, shuffleboard, miniature golf and swimming pool.

Our stay here was pleasant. We found nothing to criticize. This campground is carefully supervised, well-maintained and offers a full range of modern amenities in a country setting just one mile from the Garden State Parkway and about fourteen miles from Ocean Drive in Cape May.

A Credit to Broward County

This "in-town" camping and RV park is a credit to the community, offering spacious, clean sites, open or shaded with full hook-ups. Our site was near a canal. It was one of several back-in sites arranged like spokes in a wheel around a paved circle. Plenty of space was available near the campsites for parking towed or tow vehicles. There are also spacious pull-through sites on the campgrounds. Roads are paved. Covered pavilions with picnic tables and volleyball courts are spaced throughout the park. Clean restrooms and showers are provided for primitive campers who need them. Biking and hiking trails and a dog park are additional amenities that attract not only the resident campers but nearby public. We stayed there on Christmas eve and Christmas Day 2012 and would not hesitate to stay there again after our very positive experiences with the park and its staff. Highly recommended.

Good Campground for I-85 & I-95 Travelers

This campground is just a short drive from I-95 but is far enough away from the highway to be country-quiet. We liked the way the sites were laid out, with plenty of space between them for privacy and sliders. Each comes with a picnic table and fire ring. There are both open and wooded sites that all appear to be well-maintained. They have a small store with the basics, a lounge, fast encrypted Wi-Fi and offer cable TV. Since we have satellite TV and were able to pick up more than 30 digital TV channels with our antenna, we opted out of the cable TV and saved a few bucks. The woman at their check-in office could not have been friendlier or more accommodating about what I was requesting, even offering to escort us to the site. Since it was mid-winter when we stayed there, their pool was closed. This campground is a conveniently-located, quiet, restful place to spend a night or two.

We Expected Better

The check-in office is a gas station on a busy, noisy road. For reasons unknown, we were assigned a gravel site that was so out-of-level that our hydraulic leveling jacks could not fully compensate. Meanwhile nearby level, paved sites remained unoccupied. The sewer connection was hidden an inch underground and covered with dirt and leaves. We were not able to find it until one of their maintenance personnel dug it up as we were about to depart. Although we paid for full hook-ups, we ultimately used their dump station to empty our waste tanks. For travelers on I-85 this campground is 32 miles round-trip out-of-the way but is near I-77. They have a pool (closed for the winter), playground, outdoor pavilion, fenced dog exercise area and cabins for rent. Their sites are closely spaced and the whole place looked somewhat run-down. For what we paid, we expected better.

Quiet Country Camping Less Than 10 Minutes from I-85

This park has a long history but was recently renovated and offers a good selection of clean, open, level, pull-through and back-in RV campsites with full modern hookups. There is also a clubhouse, lodge, bathhouse, open pavilion, volleyball net, basketball goal and playground. The swimming pool is no longer being opened. The park manager lives in a home on the campgrounds and monitors the activities there to ensure that campers will have a pleasant experience.

Just a short drive from I-85, historic Opelika, Alabama and Auburn University, this city-owned campground is in a convenient but country location in east central Alabama and offers a quiet, pleasant camping experience at a reasonable price.

Campground Has Been Around for Awhile & It Shows

The Passport America rate for this campground is a bargain even though many of the sites are near a noisy, four-lane highway and much of the infrastructure is old, makeshift and tired-looking.

Cable TV and phone wires are strung helter-skelter across the dirt roads throughout this facility. Two-liter plastic soda bottles half-filled with water are used to plug unused sewer connections and many of the power connection boxes have seen better days.

That said, the people who greeted us there could not have been friendlier, more accommodating or more determined to make sure that we were satisfied with our accommodations. Cable TV is included in their rate, offering many channels. Aside from having a place to spend the night I didn't see any reason to remain there for an extended period.

Jewel of a Campground Near Lakeland, Florida

Off the beaten path, this campground offers clean, beautiful, quiet, level lakefront and near lakefront campsites in idyllic settings both for RVs and more primitive campers at bargain rates. RV sites have water and electric while the tent sites offer water only. There are clean restrooms, showers, a coin-operated washer and dryer and a boat-launching ramp.

We camped there on a weekday in January and several spaces were still available when we arrived shortly after midday. Since advance reservations are not offered, it's likely that would-be campers who arrive weekends during high season could find themselves without accommodations.

Charming Country Setting / Friendly Manager

Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed and escorted to our campsite by the manager. We had an open, level site with full hookups. It had a ceramic tile patio with picnic table. We had a good view of the 2.5 acre lake. A variety of sites for both tents and RVs and both open and shaded are scattered throughout the park's 15 acres. None of the sites should have made a camper feel cramped or crowded. Although the country setting and casual layout of this facility may look somewhat primitive the electric, water and sewer connections are modern. I believe that most campers would have a positive experience here even though the swimming pool does not sparkle. Wi-Fi is included and the signal at our site was powerful and fast. A modern coin-op laundry is located in an easily accessible open shed. I was impressed that the manager gave me his phone number and asked me to call him if we needed anything.

Big-Rig Friendly RV-Only Park

This campground offers more than RV 400 campsites, many of which are pull-through and long enough to handle rigs up to sixty feet long. There is a clean, heated outdoor pool, nearby bathhouse, a modern coin-operated laundry and an attractive clubhouse. There are many long-term campers and a sizable collection of permanent, manufactured homes at Arbor Terrace. Most campsites are open, offering little if any shade. The roads are paved and the grounds were clean and well-kept. What we did not like was the way the sites were jammed together. With sliders out, there is barely enough space to walk between the RVs. One of the nights that we stayed there was New Year's Eve. This "resort" security personnel clearly did NOT enforce any quiet-time because we were disturbed throughout the night by fireworks and a blasting sound system playing raucous music. Other nights were okay.

Clean, Well-Run RV Park - No Tents or Open Fires

The name of this campground defines its niche. Accommodating mostly long-term campers in RVs or residents in permanently-installed manufactured homes, there are a few grass-covered, full-hookup sites for overnight campers in RVs. We occupied one of their available sites. It was located between a permanently-installed manufactured home and a travel-trailer that had been on the site for five weeks. Our site included a paved patio, picnic table, water, sewer and 50-amp electric hookup but no shrubs for privacy. All paved roads, Wi-Fi, cable TV, modern coin-operated laundry facilities, a heated swimming pool and well-maintained, clean showers are available for residents. Just a short drive from Sanibel and Captiva Islands this campground is also convenient to shopping. The office is open ONLY on weekdays, so plan ahead if you plan to arrive on a weekend.
