Mays Landing camping overview
Mays Landing sits in Atlantic County in the heart of New Jersey's Pine Barrens, about 20 miles inland from Atlantic City and within easy reach of Wharton State Forest, the largest single tract of land in the New Jersey State Park System at roughly 122,880 acres. The terrain is flat and sandy, dominated by pitch pine and oak, with the Great Egg Harbor River and Lake Lenape running through town. The area holds one of the densest clusters of RV-friendly private campgrounds in the Mid-Atlantic, built around weekend traffic from Philadelphia, New York, and the Jersey Shore.
RVers typically choose between full-hookup family resorts and rustic state-forest sites. Pleasant Valley Family Campground, Winding River Campground, Mays Landing Campground, Pomona RV Park and Campground, and Holly Acres Campground all sit within a short drive of town and pair Pine Barrens shade with quick access to Atlantic City beaches, Ocean City boardwalks, and the Garden State Parkway.
Things to do near Mays Landing
Wharton State Forest is the main draw, with a major section of the Batona Trail running through the Pinelands and Apple Pie Hill's fire tower offering panoramic views across the region. Paddlers run the Mullica, Wading, and Great Egg Harbor rivers in canoes and kayaks, and Batsto Village preserves a former bog-iron and glassmaking settlement that operated from 1766 to 1867. Atsion Recreation Area on Atsion Lake has a guarded swim beach in summer when lifeguards are present. Beach days run east to Ocean City, Brigantine, and Atlantic City, all within about 25 minutes by car. Families with younger kids gravitate to Storybook Land in Egg Harbor Township and the boardwalk at Atlantic City. Anglers fish stocked ponds at several private campgrounds and the tidal Great Egg Harbor River.

The South Jersey camping season runs roughly April through October, and many private campgrounds in the area operate seasonally rather than year-round. Mays Landing Campground, for example, opens April 1 and closes October 31, and Winding River Campground typically runs from early May into mid-October. Spring is mild but wet, with frequent rain showers and cool nights that can still dip below freezing in March. Summer is the peak window: warm to hot days, Atlantic Ocean water temperatures climbing into the 70s Fahrenheit by August, and weekend availability that tightens sharply around Memorial Day, July 4, and Labor Day. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in July and August, and biting flies and mosquitoes peak in midsummer in the Pine Barrens.
Fall brings the most comfortable conditions for RV travel, with daytime highs in the 60s and 70s through September and October, lighter crowds after Labor Day, and cranberry harvest activity across the Pinelands. Winter camping is limited; most private parks close, snow is possible but less frequent than farther north, and overnight lows regularly fall below freezing.

We had a great experience with RV Cozy Camper. The camper truly lived up to its name — it was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, making our trip relaxing and enjoyable. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, and the layout made the space feel welcoming and functional. It was easy to tow and set up, which helped take a lot of stress out of the trip. The attention to detail really showed and made us feel comfortable right away. Communication was smooth and helpful, and any questions we had were answered promptly. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and we would absolutely recommend RV Cozy Camper to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable camping option. We would happily use RV Cozy Camper again for future trips!

How to book a campsite
Private campgrounds around Mays Landing take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, and most require a deposit at booking. Summer weekends and holiday weeks fill earliest, often two to three months out for full-hookup pull-throughs, so book Pleasant Valley Family Campground, Winding River Campground, Mays Landing Campground, Pomona RV Park and Campground, and Holly Acres Campground as soon as dates are firm. For state-forest sites at Wharton, Bass River, or Belleplain, reservations go through the New Jersey State Parks system at the NJ Outdoors portal. State sites can be booked up to 11 months in advance and tend to fill fast for summer Fridays and Saturdays.
What to expect on site
Most private campgrounds in the Mays Landing area are family-oriented and offer full or partial hookups, dump stations, laundry, swim pools, playgrounds, and weekend activity programs. Sites are typically a mix of wooded pull-throughs under pitch pine and oak and open back-ins suited to larger rigs. Cell coverage is generally reliable, and the sandy Pine Barrens soil drains quickly but can rut after heavy rain. State-forest campgrounds inside Wharton are far more rustic, with options ranging from drive-up sites to wilderness sites reachable only by hike, canoe, or horseback. Campfires are permitted only in provided rings, firewood must usually be bought on site to limit pest spread, and ticks, chiggers, and greenhead flies are part of summer life in the Pinelands.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Mays Landing, NJ
How much does an RV rental in Mays Landing typically cost?
RV rental in Mays Landing is one of the most affordable ways to experience the Jersey Shore. Travel trailers typically start around $90 to $160 per night, Class C motorhomes run roughly $175 to $275, and larger Class A coaches range from $250 to $400 or more. Summer weekends near Atlantic City and around July 4th are the priciest, so booking midweek or in May, June, or September often saves 20 to 30 percent. For a cheap RV rental in Mays Landing, filter by travel trailers and look for hosts offering delivery, which can be easier than towing if you do not have a hitch. Many hosts also offer weekly discounts, so ask before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mays%20Landing%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Mays Landing, NJ?
A regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Mays Landing. New Jersey does not require a commercial driver's license or any special RV endorsement for the motorhomes and travel trailers available on RVezy, including Class A, Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, and standard fifth wheels. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID securely during booking. Visiting from outside the US? Bring your home country license along with an International Driving Permit. Most first-time renters are pleasantly surprised at how simple the process is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Mays Landing RV rental?
Every RV rental in Mays Landing booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can head to Atlantic City or the Pine Barrens with confidence. The protection plan helps cover damage to the RV during your trip, with different coverage levels available at checkout so you can choose the option that fits your trip. You select your plan during booking, not the host, which keeps the process consistent and transparent. It is one less thing to think about before your Jersey Shore adventure begins.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Mays Landing RV trip?
Booking is low-risk because RVezy uses a clear, platform-wide cancellation policy that includes a grace period right after booking, so you are not locked in the moment you confirm. Refund eligibility after that depends on how far in advance you cancel. Because RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), you get consistent treatment whether you are renting near Atlantic City or out by Wharton State Forest. If a host needs to cancel, RVezy helps with a refund or rebooking credit, and the support team is available to walk you through your options.
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 Mays Landing?
Yes, pet-friendly RV rental in Mays Landing is easy to find on RVezy. Use the Pet-Friendly filter to see listings where your dog is welcome. Once on the road, you have good options: Mays Landing Campground allows pets with some restrictions, and Wharton State Forest's Atsion and Godfrey Bridge campsites permit leashed pets. Estell Manor Park, just south of town, has miles of dog-friendly trails through the Pine Barrens. Message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any breed or weight rules. Many Mays Landing hosts are dog owners themselves and happy to help plan a pet-friendly trip.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/state-park/wharton-state-forest/Can the RV be delivered to my campsite in Mays Landing?
Yes, RV delivery in Mays Landing is offered by many hosts and is one of the easiest ways to start a trip, especially for first-time renters. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to find hosts who will drop the RV at Mays Landing Campground, Winding River Campground, or a private location nearby. They will level the RV, hook up water and electric, walk you through the systems, and hand you the keys. Delivery fees typically run a few dollars per mile from the host's location, with some hosts offering free delivery within a set radius. For families flying into Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), delivery makes a motorhome rental in Mays Landing a true zero-stress vacation.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mays%20Landing%2C%20New%20JerseyHow far can I drive on a Mays Landing RV trip, and is there unlimited mileage?
You have great range from Mays Landing, and RV rental with unlimited mileage is available from select hosts on RVezy. Most hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per night, with additional miles charged at a per-mile rate set by the host. From Mays Landing, you are about 20 miles to Atlantic City, 40 miles to Cape May, 60 miles to Philadelphia, 130 miles to New York City, and roughly 165 miles to Washington, DC. If you are planning a longer RV road trip from Mays Landing, message the host before booking to ask about a custom mileage package, many are happy to bundle extra miles into the nightly rate.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mays%20Landing%2C%20New%20JerseyWhere are the best campgrounds near Mays Landing for RV camping?
The best campgrounds near Mays Landing put you within minutes of the Pine Barrens and the Jersey Shore. Top picks include Mays Landing Campground on 12th Avenue with full-hookup sites, a pool, and a fishing pond in season; Winding River Campground along the Great Egg Harbor River with a wide range of sites; Atsion Family Campground in Wharton State Forest with trailer-friendly sites, showers, and flush toilets; Holly Acres RV Park in nearby Egg Harbor City with full hookups; and Whippoorwill Campground in Marmora, a short drive toward Ocean City. Book early for summer weekends, as Shore campgrounds fill up quickly.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/state-park/wharton-state-forest/atsion-family-campground/When is the best time to visit Mays Landing in an RV?
Late May through early October is prime time for RV camping in Mays Landing, with June and September being the sweet spots: warm days in the 75 to 85F range, cooler nights in the 55 to 65F range, and fewer crowds than peak July and August when temps often reach the upper 80s. Spring (April to mid-May) is cool and scenic in the Pine Barrens, with wildflowers and temps around 60 to 70F. Fall foliage in late October colors Wharton State Forest gold and red. Winter rentals are limited because many campgrounds close from November through March, but a few year-round hosts make off-season Pine Barrens trips possible.
weather.gov/phi/I have never driven an RV. Will I be okay on my first Mays Landing trip?
You will do great. First time renting an RV is less intimidating than it looks, and Mays Landing is one of the easier places to learn. Local roads like Route 40, Route 50, and the Atlantic City Expressway are flat, wide, and straightforward compared to mountain or city driving. Every RVezy host provides a full walkthrough at pickup: how to drive, level the rig, hook up water and power, and dump tanks. Choosing a Class C motorhome or smaller travel trailer for your first trip makes handling easier. A helpful tip: spend 15 minutes practicing turns in an empty parking lot before heading out.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if the RV breaks down during my trip?
You are covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on the Atlantic City Expressway or a battery issue at Wharton State Forest is just a phone call away from being resolved. Roadside assistance covers common needs such as tire changes, jump-starts, lockouts, towing, and fuel delivery throughout the Mays Landing area and across New Jersey. Your host is also reachable through the RVezy app for questions about the RV itself. A handy tip: snap a photo of the RV's VIN and license plate at pickup so you have it on hand if you ever need to call for help.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Mays Landing RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, an RV road trip from Mays Landing into other US states is generally allowed, and popular routes include the Delaware beaches, the Poconos in Pennsylvania, the Outer Banks, and Acadia National Park in Maine. Travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and insurance terms, so message the host directly before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because protection coverage does not extend there. If you are planning a multi-state route, mention it in your booking message so your host can confirm mileage and any cross-border details upfront.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Mays Landing RV trip?
Fuel is one of the larger trip costs, but it is manageable with a little planning. Class C motorhomes average roughly 8 to 12 MPG, Class A coaches 6 to 10 MPG, campervans and Class B rigs 15 to 20 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. New Jersey gas prices typically track near the regional average, and remember that New Jersey is a full-service state, so attendants pump your gas. For a weekend trip from Mays Landing to Cape May and back (about 80 miles total), expect roughly $40 to $80 in fuel for a Class C, depending on prices. A helpful tip: fueling up at stations in Hammonton or Egg Harbor Township is often cheaper than the Expressway plazas.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Mays Landing?
Booking early pays off. For summer weekends (Memorial Day through Labor Day) at popular spots like Mays Landing Campground or Atsion in Wharton State Forest, reserve 3 to 6 months ahead, especially for July 4th and Labor Day weekend. State park campgrounds book through the official New Jersey reservation system, and Wharton sites can often be booked many months in advance. Private campgrounds like Winding River and Holly Acres take reservations through their own websites or by phone. Midweek and shoulder-season stays (May, September, October) usually have availability with just 2 to 3 weeks notice. If your dates are flexible, set an availability alert: cancellations open up often.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are the driving conditions like around Mays Landing?
Driving an RV around Mays Landing is refreshingly easy: the terrain is flat, the roads are mostly straight, and there are no mountain grades to worry about. Main routes like the Atlantic City Expressway, Route 40, Route 322, and the Garden State Parkway are wide and RV-friendly. Watch for tolls on the Expressway and Parkway, so have E-ZPass or be ready for cash. Summer beach traffic on Fridays and Sundays can be heavy heading to Atlantic City, Ocean City, and Cape May, so plan to drive midday or early morning. The Pine Barrens has narrow sandy back roads that are not suitable for larger rigs, so stick to paved routes. Remember, New Jersey is a full-service gas state.
state.nj.us/transportation/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Mays Landing?
Local campgrounds are well-equipped for everything from a quick weekend to a longer stay. Private parks like Mays Landing Campground and Winding River typically offer full hookups (water, 30/50 amp electric, sewer), Wi-Fi, hot showers, laundry, swimming pools, and on-site dump stations. State forest sites at Wharton (Atsion, Godfrey Bridge, Bodine Field) are more rustic, with potable water and pit or flush toilets but no hookups, ideal if your RV has solar or a generator. Atsion has a trailer sanitary station, and most private campgrounds in the area offer day-use dump access for a small fee. A helpful tip: top off fresh water before heading deep into the Pine Barrens.
dep.nj.gov/parksandforests/state-park/wharton-state-forest/What equipment and features come with a typical RV rental in Mays Landing?
Most RV rentals in Mays Landing come vacation-ready. Expect a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink, cookware), a bathroom with toilet and shower, comfortable sleeping for 4 to 8 depending on the rig, climate control (AC and furnace), and seatbelts for every passenger. Many hosts include a TV, Bluetooth stereo, outdoor awning, and patio chairs. Wi-Fi hotspots and onboard generators are common in Class A and Class C motorhomes, while campervan rentals in Mays Landing often include solar setups for off-grid weekends in the Pine Barrens. Each listing spells out exactly what is included, so you know before you book. A helpful tip: ask hosts about beach gear add-ons for the Jersey Shore.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mays%20Landing%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat add-ons and pickup options are available for my Mays Landing rental?
Hosts in the Mays Landing area offer a wide menu of add-ons: bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, generators, bike racks, kayaks and SUPs (great for the Great Egg Harbor River), grills, and pre-filled propane tanks. Pickup is typically at the host's address with a 30 to 60 minute orientation walkthrough included. Drop-off times are often flexible if you communicate with your host. Mileage policies generally range from 100 to 150 free miles per night, with unlimited mileage available from select listings. A helpful tip: book add-ons at the same time as the RV, since last-minute requests are not always available during busy summer weeks.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Mays%20Landing%2C%20New%20JerseyHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. RVezy charges your card when the host accepts your booking (or right away for Instant Book listings), and you see the full price breakdown before confirming: nightly rate, protection plan, service fees, and any host add-ons. The security deposit is separate from the booking payment and is held shortly before pickup, then released after drop-off assuming no damage or extra cleaning is needed. To avoid issues, do a thorough walkaround with your host at pickup and drop-off, take date-stamped photos, and return the RV with the same fuel and propane levels you started with. The process is transparent and built to protect both renters and hosts.
