Campgrounds near Leisure Village East
Leisure Village East sits in Ocean County, New Jersey, minutes from Barnegat Bay and within a short drive of the Manasquan River, the Pine Barrens, and the central Jersey Shore. The area works as a practical base for RV travellers: campgrounds cluster along Route 9, Route 70, and the Garden State Parkway corridor, with easy access to Seaside Heights, Point Pleasant, and Long Beach Island.
Options range from full-hookup family resorts to a wooded state park. Tip Tam Camping Resort, near Jackson, offers spacious sites with picnic tables and fire rings, plus two pools, an RC track, and organized activities. Butterfly Camping Resort and Pine Cone Campgrounds serve travellers who want private-park amenities close to Six Flags Great Adventure and the shore towns, while Cedar Creek Campground and Canoe Rent adds paddling access on Cedar Creek.
For a more rustic stay, Allaire State Park has 45 campsites near the Manasquan River in a forested setting, plus 10 cabin-like shelters, though family campsites are currently closed for a bathroom and shower rebuild; group sites remain open.
Things to do near Leisure Village East
Water is the region's main draw. Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic beaches at Seaside Heights, Island Beach State Park, and Long Beach Island are all within reach for swimming, fishing, and paddling. The tea-coloured creeks of the Pine Barrens offer flat-water canoe and kayak routes, and the Barnegat Branch Trail provides a paved rail-trail for cycling.
Families gravitate to Six Flags Great Adventure and Safari in Jackson, the Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk, and Jenkinson's Aquarium. Allaire State Park is best known for its historic 19th-century iron-making town, Allaire Village, and the Pine Creek Railroad, a narrow-gauge train ride, with fishing, hunting, hiking, biking, picnicking and wildlife viewing on site.

The camping season in this part of New Jersey typically runs from spring through mid-fall. Tip Tam Camping Resort is open April 1 to October 31, and many private parks in the region follow a similar window. Allaire State Park family campsites are currently closed due to construction of a new bathroom and shower facility; group camping is not affected and is open April 1 to December 15. The RV dump station at Allaire runs mid-April to mid-October.
Summer weekends and holidays are the pressure points. Campsites, and especially shelters, book fast for summer and holiday weekends, so reserving at least three months in advance is advisable. Fall brings cooler nights, thinner crowds, and reliable weather through October, though late-season travellers should confirm which loops and services remain open.
Winter is quiet. Most private resorts close, dump stations shut down, and only limited group or year-round sites remain. Black bears are present in all New Jersey parks, so follow park bear-safety protocols when storing food.

Jacek was amazing with communication and having the advantages being able to have the RV delivered and set up was amazing. I wouldn’t have been able to do it myself. The camper was super clean, and comfortable. We had a great time.

We had an amazing experience renting this camper van for the weekend! The van was clean, comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It easily carried all of our gear, including a cooler and fishing poles, with plenty of room to spare. It truly had all the comforts of home—and more. From the kitchen essentials to the camping accessories, everything was provided, making our trip easy and enjoyable. Mark, the owner, was fantastic to work with. He took the time to thoroughly show us how to operate the van and explained all of its features and accessories before we left. His attention to detail and willingness to answer our questions made us feel confident and well prepared for our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better rental experience. If you’re looking for a well-equipped camper van and an owner who genuinely cares about his renters, we highly recommend renting from Mark. We would definitely rent from him again!
Kenneth F. - Jul 2026
This RV is perfect for a newbie. Me and my 8 year old had a long weekend trip. The RV has every modern convenience. It is a comfortable drive, comfortable to sleep in and comfortable to prepare meals in. Marc's instructions on operation are clear and concise. Marc is accessible and responsive. A wonderful experience overall!

How to book a campsite
State park sites are handled through New Jersey's central reservation system at camping.nj.gov, with the Allaire State Park office reachable by phone for questions about the current family-campsite closure and group-site availability. Online reservations can be made up to 11 months in advance, which matters for summer weekends and any site suitable for larger rigs.
Private parks such as Tip Tam Camping Resort, Butterfly Camping Resort, Cedar Creek Campground and Canoe Rent, and Pine Cone Campgrounds each take reservations directly by phone or through their own websites. Book hookup preferences (30 vs. 50 amp, sewer, pull-through) and rig length when calling, and ask about big-rig access on narrow interior roads before committing to a specific loop.
What to expect on site
Expect a mix of sandy, wooded sites and open sunny loops. Private resorts in the area lean family-focused, with pools, playgrounds, mini-golf, camp stores, and organized weekend activities. Tip Tam Camping Resort offers 50-amp electric, water and sewer hookups and can accommodate vehicles up to 50 feet. Sites at Allaire and other wooded parks tend to be shadier and tighter.
At Allaire, amenities include drinking water, flush toilets, showers, and a seasonal RV dump station; sites accommodate tents, trailers and RVs, and each has a table, fire ring and grate. Bigger RVs should request open sites. Cell coverage is generally fair across the region, and grocery, fuel, and propane are close at hand along Route 9 and Route 37.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Leisure Village East, NJ
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Leisure Village East, NJ?
RV rental in Leisure Village East is more affordable than many travelers expect, especially when you split costs with family or friends. On RVezy, you can typically find travel trailers starting around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes around $175 to $275, and larger Class A motorhomes from $250 to $400 per night. Shoulder seasons like late April, May, and September deliver the best value at the Jersey Shore, with post Labor Day rates often dropping 20 to 30 percent while the weather is still beautiful. Pro tip: filter for Instant Book listings within 15 miles of Leisure Village East to score last minute deals from local hosts.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Leisure%20Village%20East%2C%20New%20JerseyDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Leisure Village East?
Good news: your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Leisure Village East and drive throughout New Jersey. Personal use recreational vehicles do not require a Commercial Driver's License in New Jersey, so even a 35 foot Class A motorhome is fine with a standard Class D license. To book on RVezy you must be 25 or older, and your ID is verified securely through the platform when you reserve. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit alongside your home country license and you're set for your Jersey Shore RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my RV rental in Leisure Village East?
Every RV rental in the Leisure Village East area comes with an RVezy renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built in, so you're covered from the moment you drive off. During booking, you choose the protection tier that fits your trip, with options that cover physical damage to the vehicle for added peace of mind. This isn't traditional auto insurance, but it is substantial financial protection designed specifically for RV renters, so a flat tire on the Garden State Parkway or a fender bender at a Toms River campground won't derail your vacation. Pro tip: review the protection tiers carefully at checkout so you choose the level that matches your comfort.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my RV rental in Leisure Village East?
Booking your Leisure Village East RV trip is low risk because RVezy, not individual hosts, sets the cancellation policy across the platform. There is a money back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence, and longer term cancellations are handled fairly based on how far out you are from your trip start date. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy refunds guests or provides travel credits so your plans stay on track. If your situation changes, message RVezy support directly and they'll walk you through your options. The bottom line: hit book now and start planning the fun.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet friendly RV rental in Leisure Village East?
Absolutely, and the Jersey Shore is a fantastic place to bring your pup. Many RVezy hosts offer pet friendly RV rental in Leisure Village East, just toggle the Pet Friendly filter when you search to see them instantly. Once you arrive, dogs are welcome on leash at Cattus Island County Park in Toms River, on the beaches at Island Beach State Park outside the swimming season, and at most local campgrounds in Ocean County. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm any pet fee and bring a copy of your dog's vaccination records, which a few campgrounds in the area may ask to see at check in.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/state-park/island-beach-state-park/Can a host deliver the RV to my Leisure Village East address or campground?
Yes, RV delivery in Leisure Village East is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will drive the motorhome or travel trailer right to a campground like Surf and Stream in Toms River, Butterfly Camping Resort in Jackson, or even a private driveway, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees usually run a few dollars per mile from the host's location. Pro tip: bundle delivery with pickup at the end and you can skip ever driving the RV yourself.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Leisure%20Village%20East%2C%20New%20JerseyHow far can I travel on an RV road trip from Leisure Village East?
You're perfectly positioned for an RV road trip from Leisure Village East, with iconic destinations within an easy day's drive. Atlantic City sits about 55 miles south (roughly 75 minutes on the Garden State Parkway), Cape May is around 95 miles (about 2 hours), Philadelphia is roughly 70 miles west, New York City is about 70 miles north, and the Poconos are around 120 miles (2.5 hours). Most RVezy hosts include a daily mileage allowance (often 100 to 150 miles per day) with additional miles available for a small per mile fee, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage. Pro tip: ask your host upfront about mileage if you're planning a long loop.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Leisure%20Village%20East%2C%20New%20JerseyWhere are the best campgrounds near Leisure Village East to park my RV?
You have great campground options within about 30 minutes of Leisure Village East. Surf and Stream Campground in Toms River (about 6 miles south) offers full hookup sites, a pool, and easy access to Seaside Heights beaches. Cedar Creek Campground in Bayville sits along a paddle friendly creek about 15 miles away. Butterfly Camping Resort in Jackson (about 20 minutes inland) is family loved with full hookups and a fishing lake. For a more rustic feel, Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold offers wooded sites along a small lake about 25 minutes north. Pro tip: book Jersey Shore campgrounds 3 to 6 months ahead for July and August weekends, since they sell out fast.
co.monmouth.nj.us/page.aspx?ID=2545When is the best time of year for RV camping in Leisure Village East?
The sweet spot for RV camping in Leisure Village East runs from mid May through mid October. June temperatures usually sit in the mid 70s to low 80s and beaches are uncrowded before schools let out. July and August deliver classic Jersey Shore weather, with highs in the 80s and ocean breezes, but expect packed campgrounds. September and early October are a local favorite, with low 70s daytime temps, warm ocean water, and lower campground rates. The spring shoulder (April to early May) can be cool and damp but pleasant for hiking. Pro tip: avoid the week of July 4th unless you book everything by March.
weather.gov/phi/I've never driven an RV before. How does pickup work in Leisure Village East?
First time renting an RV is easier than you'd expect, especially in the Leisure Village East area where hosts are used to walking new renters through every step. At pickup, your host will give you a hands on orientation covering the generator, slide outs, water systems, propane, leveling, and dump procedures, typically 30 to 60 minutes long. You can ask as many questions as you want, and many hosts send a walkthrough video ahead of time so you arrive prepared. If city driving makes you nervous, simply choose a host offering delivery and skip the wheel altogether. Pro tip: take notes on your phone during the walkthrough so you can reference them at your first campsite.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance with your protection plan, so a flat tire on Route 9, a dead battery at a Lakewood campground, or a lockout at 2 a.m. is one phone call away from help. Your host is also a direct resource for questions specific to their RV, since they know their rig best. RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after the trip if you need anything beyond mechanical help. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number and your host's number to your phone contacts as soon as you book, so they are ready when you need them.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Leisure Village East RV rental into other states or Canada?
Yes, multi state RV trips from Leisure Village East are very popular, since you are within a tank of gas from Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, Maryland, and even Virginia. Most hosts welcome interstate travel, and popular routes include Lancaster County PA Amish Country, the Catskills in New York, or south through Delaware to the Outer Banks. Cross border trips into Canada may be possible with host approval and proper insurance documentation, so message them before booking to confirm. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental due to insurance coverage limits. Pro tip: share your full route with the host so they can confirm everything works for the protection package.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage should I expect and what does gas cost near Leisure Village East?
Budgeting fuel for your Jersey Shore RV trip is straightforward. Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes average 10 to 14 MPG, Class A motorhomes return 7 to 10 MPG, and trucks pulling travel trailers usually see 10 to 13 MPG. Check current New Jersey gas prices before your trip on the EIA fuel data site, and remember New Jersey is a full service state, so an attendant pumps for you. Stations along Route 70 in Lakewood are convenient fuel up spots for RVs. Pro tip: top off before crossing into Pennsylvania, where prices can differ noticeably.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book campgrounds near Leisure Village East?
For peak summer weekends at the Jersey Shore, book your campgrounds 3 to 6 months ahead, especially holiday weekends like Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. New Jersey state park campgrounds such as Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold and Bass River State Forest are reserved through the official New Jersey State Park reservation system and typically open up to 6 months in advance. Private campgrounds like Surf and Stream and Butterfly Camping Resort take reservations directly through their websites or by phone. Weeknight stays in June or September can often be booked just a week ahead. Pro tip: if a popular site is full, call the campground directly the week before since cancellations open up constantly.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are driving conditions like around Leisure Village East and the Jersey Shore?
Driving an RV around Leisure Village East is very manageable, with mostly flat coastal terrain and well maintained roads. The Garden State Parkway is your main north south artery, with rest stops every 15 to 20 miles. Summer weekend traffic toward the shore (especially Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings) can crawl, so plan to arrive Friday morning or Sunday late evening. Watch for low clearances around the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels and plan alternate routes in larger rigs. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November. Pro tip: locals avoid Route 9 through Lakewood on Friday afternoons, use the Parkway or Route 70 instead.
nj.gov/transportation/What amenities should I expect at campgrounds near Leisure Village East?
Most campgrounds near Leisure Village East are well equipped for RVs, with full hookups (water, electric, sewer), 30 and 50 amp service, dump stations, hot showers, laundry, and Wi Fi at private parks like Surf and Stream. State parks like Bass River State Forest offer more rustic setups with water and electric but no sewer at the site, plus a central dump station. Free potable water fills are available at most campgrounds for registered guests. Pro tip: the dump station at Surf and Stream Campground in Toms River is often accessible to non guests for a small fee, handy if you're staying somewhere more primitive and need to empty tanks before returning your RV.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/parks/bass-river-state-forest/What's typically included inside a Leisure Village East RV rental?
Your Leisure Village East RV rental is essentially a hotel room on wheels. Expect a queen or king bed, convertible dinette and sofa beds (sleeping 4 to 8 depending on the rig), a full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, air conditioning, a furnace, and seatbelts for all passengers. Most hosts include kitchen basics like pots, pans, dishes, and utensils. TVs, outdoor awnings, and Bluetooth stereos are common. Generators are standard on motorhomes, while many travel trailers come with solar or battery setups. Pro tip: when comparing motorhome rental Leisure Village East listings, check the photos and amenity list closely, since some hosts include linens and towels while others charge a small fee.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Leisure%20Village%20East%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat add ons and options do RV hosts offer in Leisure Village East?
Local hosts make your Jersey Shore RV trip easier with great add ons. Common extras include bike racks, beach chair and umbrella packages, kayaks and stand up paddleboards (perfect for Barnegat Bay), portable grills, generator usage, extra propane, linen and kitchen kits, and beach gear bundles. Pickup and dropoff is usually at the host's home in Lakewood, Toms River, or nearby towns, and delivery to a campground or your address is widely offered. Mileage policies vary, most hosts allow 100 to 150 miles per day included, with a few offering unlimited mileage for longer trips. Pro tip: ask about a beach pass add on, since Seaside Park and other shore towns charge daily beach fees in summer.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Leisure%20Village%20East%2C%20New%20JerseyHow does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in Leisure Village East?
Payment is simple and secure on RVezy. You pay the full booking amount through the platform when you reserve (never directly to the host in cash), and your card information is protected. A refundable security deposit, separate from your booking payment and typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV, is held against your card a few days before pickup and released after the trip assuming no damage. To avoid issues, do a thorough walkaround with your host at pickup and take date stamped photos of any existing scratches or dings, plus the interior. Pro tip: keep all receipts for fuel and propane refills, since RVs are generally expected to be returned at the same levels as pickup.
