Fairly quiet campground considering the road isn’t far off, but can be loud if the bar has an outdoor event (which happened to us once night of the many weekends we’ve stayed here).
Nearby trails and things to see:
The campground has a rope challenge course that you can call ahead of time to arrange to use.
Canoeing the Great Egg Harbor River – borders the campsite, which has a put-in/take-out for canoes and kayaks right at the campground.
