Camping is a Perfect Way to Spend A Vacation in
Cape May County
Cape May County is best known for its beaches
and fabulous seaside resorts, but just a few
miles off the shoreline of the barrier islands,
from Cape May Point to Ocean City, are thousands
of acres of woodlands which are home to more
than 50 camping resorts.
Those who prefer camping to
other lodging will find New Jersey’s
southern-most county to be one of the best
camping environments in the state. Set
amid forests of indigenous flora and fauna,
camping resorts in the area are rife with hiking
trails and plenty of scenic views.
Cape May County is a popular stopover on the
migratory path for many North American bird
species, so don’t be surprised to see many
varieties of feathered creatures on a walk
around the grounds. The west side of the
county is the Delaware Bay – the largest
breeding ground of horseshoe crabs in the world
-- containing miles and miles of natural beauty
and shoreline.
At night, the stars seem to
shine a little brighter out in the woods where
the air is clear and there is a faint scent of
salt in the air. With the activity of
everyday life left behind, a camping trip is
relaxing, refreshing and gratifying.
Although secluded from the
hustle and bustle that make up the busy seaside
resorts, all of the campgrounds in Cape May
County are just minutes away from the area’s
pristine beaches and exciting nightlife and
boardwalks. Camping facilities in the county are
perfect for tent or trailer camping. Most offer
full-service RV hookups and trailer rentals.
They come in all shapes and sizes, with nearly
all having Olympic-sized pools, children’s
activities, dances, sing-alongs and cookouts.
There are even some that have their own
freshwater lakes perfect for fishing, canoeing
or kayaking.
For those who aren’t ready to
leave all of the luxuries of modern living
behind, there are some resorts that have cabins
available for rent. Amenities like indoor
plumbing and electrical outlets make it possible
for even the most sophisticated city dwellers to
take a camping vacation. Most camping
resorts have camp stores that are well stocked,
showers, game rooms and laundry facilities.
Whatever the reason – be it a
way to “get back to basics,” more fully enjoy
the natural beauty, or to save on lodging costs
– camping is a perfect way to spend a vacation
in Cape May County, New Jersey.
