Campgrounds near North Beach Haven overview
North Beach Haven sits on Long Beach Island, a narrow barrier island on the southern Jersey Shore separated from the mainland by Barnegat Bay. There are no campgrounds on the island itself, so RV travelers base on the mainland along Route 9 and Route 72, then drive over the Route 72 causeway to reach the beach. Typical drive times from the closest campgrounds run from about ten to twenty-five minutes depending on summer traffic.
Sea Pirate Campground in West Creek is the closest mainland option, located just a few minutes from the island. Sun Retreats Long Beach Island in Barnegat, Bakers Acres Campgrounds, and Atlantic Shore Pines Campground round out the private-park options in the Pine Barrens edge around New Gretna and Tuckerton.
For a public-land option, Bass River State Forest sits in the Pinelands National Reserve inland from the shore. The forest was first acquired by the state of New Jersey in 1905 for public recreation, water conservation, and wildlife and timber management, and its Lake Absegami area serves as the base for tent, trailer, cabin, shelter, and group camping.
Things to do near North Beach Haven
The beaches and boardwalk of Beach Haven are the main draw, along with Fantasy Island Amusement Park, the Thundering Surf Waterpark, and charter fishing and crabbing trips out of the bay. The Barnegat Lighthouse at the north end of the island is a common day trip for families.
Inland, Bass River State Forest offers swimming and boating on the 67-acre Lake Absegami, plus hiking on the short Absegami interpretive trail and the 53-mile Batona Trail, which has its southern end in Bass River and winds north through Wharton and Brendan T. Byrne State Forests. The Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge south of the causeway is popular for birdwatching and its scenic Wildlife Drive.
Back at the mainland parks, expect pools, mini-golf, playgrounds, jumping pillows, and planned family activities during peak season.

The camping season on the LBI mainland is short. Sun Retreats Long Beach Island runs April 1 through October 31, while Sea Pirate is open late April to late October. Bass River State Forest campsites are typically bookable across a longer window through the state system, with lakefront cabins open April 1 through October 31.
July and August are peak. Sites fill weeks in advance, causeway traffic backs up on Saturdays, and rates are highest. Late May through mid-June and September deliver warm days, ocean water still swimmable into September, and easier reservations. Shoulder-season weekdays are noticeably quieter across the corridor.
Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with the greatest tropical activity in August through October. Winter and early spring nor'easters can bring coastal flooding and beach erosion, and February is historically among the snowiest months on the coast.

How to book a campsite
Private campgrounds around North Beach Haven use their own online systems. Sea Pirate Campground books directly through its website reservation portal or by phone, and asks guests to book early because summer weekends sell out. Sun Retreats Long Beach Island books through Campspot and the Sun Outdoors site.
Bass River State Forest and other New Jersey state parks use the state's reservation platform at camping.nj.gov. Sites can be reserved online up to 11 months in advance, which matters for holiday weekends and any of the six lakefront cabins.
For an RV rental trip, confirm site length and hookup type before booking. Bass River's South Shore has 32 sites that can accommodate rigs up to 55 feet, with no hookups but easy access to showers, restrooms, and laundry, while Sun Retreats and Sea Pirate provide 30- and 50-amp electric.
What to expect on-site
The private parks in this corridor are family-oriented resorts rather than backcountry campgrounds. Sun Retreats Long Beach Island offers over 225 sites with water hookups, grills, campfire rings, and picnic tables, plus laundry, a dog park, a dump station, and a store, along with an 18-hole mini-golf course, jumping pillow, playground, and swimming pool. Tent sites at Sun Retreats are not pet friendly, though RV sites are. Sea Pirate adds a heated pool, water slide, hot tub, and daily activities.
Bass River State Forest is more rustic. Its 176 tent and trailer sites include fire rings and picnic tables, with flush toilets, showers, and laundry within walking distance and no hookups at the sites. A trailer sanitary station is open March 1 through November 30. Group campsites, lean-tos, shelters, and lakefront cabins with kitchens and screened porches round out the options.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near North Beach Haven, NJ
How much does an RV rental in North Beach Haven cost?
RV rental in North Beach Haven is more affordable than you might expect for a Jersey Shore vacation. Travel trailers on Long Beach Island typically run $100 to $200 per night, Class C motorhomes range $200 to $350 per night, and larger Class A motorhomes can run $300 to $500 per night. Summer weekends from late June through Labor Day are the priciest window, so booking a Sunday-to-Thursday stretch or visiting in late May, early June, or September can shave 20-30% off your total. For a cheap RV rental in North Beach Haven, filter for travel trailers with delivery included, you skip the gas of driving a motorhome and still get the full beach setup.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=North%20Beach%20Haven%2C%20New%20JerseyDo I need a special license to rent an RV in New Jersey?
Good news, a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in New Jersey, including Long Beach Island. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) lists recreational vehicle operators as exempt from Commercial Driver's License (CDL) requirements for personal use, so even a large Class A motorhome is fair game on a standard Class D license. To book on RVezy, you'll need to be 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and ID verification happens right through the platform. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set for your Beach Haven RV trip.
nj.gov/mvc/license/driverlicense.htmWhat protection comes with my RV rental in North Beach Haven?
Every RV rental on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can cross the Causeway Bridge onto Long Beach Island with real peace of mind. You choose your coverage level during booking (not the host), so you control how much extra cushion you want, and the plan covers most accidental damage to the vehicle during your trip. While it isn't traditional auto insurance, it provides meaningful financial protection if something unexpected happens at your campsite or on the road. Pro tip: take a quick walkaround video at pickup. It's a 2-minute habit that keeps everything smooth from day one.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my North Beach Haven RV trip?
You're not locked in the second you book. RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not individual hosts), and it includes a money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates without second-guessing. Beyond that window, refunds depend on how far out from your trip start date you cancel, with added protections for certain situations like host cancellations, which can result in a full refund or RVezy credits. Because the policy is handled at the platform level, you won't see it on individual listings. Pro tip: book early for peak Long Beach Island summer weekends, you can always adjust later if plans shift.
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 North Beach Haven?
Absolutely, plenty of pet-friendly RV rental options in North Beach Haven welcome your four-legged co-pilot. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to instantly narrow your search, and message the host beforehand to confirm any pet fees or shedding rules. Long Beach Island is genuinely dog-friendly in the off-season: from October 1 through May 14, leashed dogs are allowed on Beach Haven's beaches, and Bayview Park in nearby Brant Beach has a fenced dog area. For RV camping with pups, Sea Pirate Campground in West Creek and Baker's Acres in Little Egg Harbor both have pet-friendly sites a short drive from the Causeway.
beachhaven-nj.gov/Can the RV be delivered to my Long Beach Island rental house or campground?
Yes, RV delivery in North Beach Haven is one of the smartest ways to skip the stress entirely. Many hosts on Long Beach Island will drive the motorhome or travel trailer right to your campground site, beach rental driveway, or a friend's property in Surf City, Ship Bottom, or Holgate, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. This is especially helpful if you're nervous about towing across the Route 72 Causeway Bridge or maneuvering down narrow island streets. Filter by Delivery on RVezy and message the host with your exact drop-off address. Many include free delivery miles before per-mile fees kick in.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038819994-Delivery-options-for-your-rentalHow far can I drive, and what mileage policies should I expect?
Most hosts include 100 to 150 free miles per day, with extra miles typically running $0.30 to $0.50 each, and some listings even offer RV rental with unlimited mileage, great for a longer Jersey Shore loop. From North Beach Haven you're well-positioned: Atlantic City is roughly 30 miles south, Cape May about 70 miles, Philadelphia roughly 80 miles west, and New York City about 100 miles north. If you're planning a multi-stop trip, use the listing filters on RVezy to compare mileage allowances side by side. Pro tip: hosts offering delivery often pair it with generous mileage, so you skip both the towing miles and the city driving.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=North%20Beach%20Haven%2C%20New%20JerseyWhere can I park or camp my RV near North Beach Haven?
You have solid options within a short drive of North Beach Haven. Sea Pirate Campground in West Creek and Baker's Acres in Little Egg Harbor offer full-hookup sites about 20 minutes from the beach, just over the Causeway. For a state-park experience, Bass River State Forest in New Gretna has 175+ sites around Lake Absegami, open year-round, about 25 minutes away. Sun Retreats Long Beach Island in Barnegat is another nearby option with 30/50-amp service. Overnight street parking on Long Beach Island itself is restricted, so always book a campground in advance for your North Beach Haven RV trip.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/bassriver.htmlWhen is the best time to visit North Beach Haven in an RV?
Late May through mid-October is prime time for a North Beach Haven RV trip, with the sweet spot being June and September: warm Atlantic water, fewer crowds, and lower nightly rates. July and August bring average highs in the mid-80s with ocean temps near 75°F, peak beach weather but also peak traffic on the Causeway. May and October bring cooler 60s-70s and quieter beaches, perfect for couples or shoulder-season deals. Winters dip into the 30s-40s and most campgrounds close, though Bass River State Forest stays open year-round for hardy campers. For the best balance of weather, price, and vibe, target the two weeks after Labor Day.
weather.gov/phi/I'm a first-time renter, what should I know before picking up?
First time renting an RV? You're going to do great, RVezy hosts know that and build their walkthrough around it. At pickup, your host gives a 30-60 minute orientation covering the generator, water tanks, slide-outs, propane, and dump procedure, and they're a text away during your trip if anything comes up. For North Beach Haven specifically, take it slow on the Route 72 Causeway Bridge and avoid Long Beach Boulevard during the 5-7 PM summer beach exodus. Pro tip: park your rental at your campground for the week and use a beach cruiser or your tow car for island runs. Way less stress.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/categories/360002007154-For-RentersWhat happens if something goes wrong on the road?
You're covered around the clock. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance, so a flat tire on the Garden State Parkway, a dead battery in the Holgate parking lot, or a tow situation on Long Beach Boulevard is one phone call away. The roadside team can dispatch help for tire changes, jump-starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing. Your host is also reachable for RV-specific questions like resetting the inverter or troubleshooting the fridge, and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside number in your phone and snap a photo of the RV's VIN before you leave the driveway. Two minutes of prep, big peace of mind.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008354-Roadside-assistance-for-rentersCan I take my RV rental to Pennsylvania, New York, or other states?
Yes, interstate travel is totally doable, and a popular reason people rent an RV in New Jersey. From North Beach Haven, common road trip routes include Cape May (about 70 miles south), the Poconos in Pennsylvania (around 130 miles northwest), and the Catskills in New York (about 180 miles north). Most RVezy hosts welcome cross-state travel, just confirm in a quick pre-booking message so they can note your itinerary. Travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host's insurance, so ask first. Travel to Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because coverage doesn't extend there.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat's the realistic fuel budget for a North Beach Haven RV trip?
Plan smart and fuel won't break your trip. Class C motorhomes typically get 8-10 MPG, Class A rigs 6-8 MPG, campervans 14-18 MPG, and tow vehicles with a travel trailer about 10-12 MPG. New Jersey is one of the few states where attendants pump your fuel for you (no self-serve). For a typical 200-mile Long Beach Island round trip in a Class C at around $3.50 per gallon, you're looking at roughly $80 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up off-island in Manahawkin before crossing the Causeway, prices are usually a bit cheaper than on the island.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Long Beach Island?
For summer weekends near North Beach Haven, book 4-6 months out, the closer to Long Beach Island, the faster sites fill. New Jersey State Park campgrounds like Bass River State Forest accept reservations several months ahead through the state's online reservation system, so set a calendar reminder. Private parks like Sea Pirate Campground, Baker's Acres, and Sun Retreats Long Beach Island take direct bookings on their websites. Pro tip: if everything looks booked, check midweek arrivals (Sunday-Wednesday) or message smaller hosts for last-minute openings, holiday weekends are tough, but a Tuesday in July is very findable.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are driving conditions like on Long Beach Island?
Driving an RV around Long Beach Island is manageable once you know two things: the Route 72 Causeway Bridge and Long Beach Boulevard. The Causeway is the only road on or off the 18-mile barrier island, two lanes each direction with clearance well over any standard RV. Long Beach Boulevard is the spine of the island, straight and flat but narrow with summer beach traffic, especially Friday afternoons northbound and Sunday afternoons southbound. Avoid driving 11 AM to 1 PM (beach arrival) and 4 PM to 7 PM (beach exit). Winds off the Atlantic can gust on the Causeway, so grip the wheel and take it steady in a tall rig. Delivery is your friend here.
state.nj.us/transportation/What amenities do local campgrounds offer for RVs?
Campgrounds near North Beach Haven range from full-service resorts to rustic state forest sites, so you can match amenities to your style. Sea Pirate Campground and Sun Retreats Long Beach Island offer full hookups (30/50-amp electric, water, sewer), pools, laundry, and dump stations. Baker's Acres has water and electric plus a dump station on-site. Bass River State Forest provides bathhouses, drinking water, and a dump station but no hookups, you'll boondock between fill-ups. Most private parks have on-site stores for ice, firewood, and propane. Pro tip: dump and fill before leaving the campground on departure day, the nearest off-site dump station is a 25-minute drive inland.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/bassriver.htmlWhat's actually inside the RVs available for rent in North Beach Haven?
Long Beach Island motorhome rental listings typically come fully stocked for beach life: a queen bed, convertible dinette, full kitchen with fridge/stove/microwave, bathroom with shower and toilet, roof air conditioning, propane heat, and 12V plus 110V outlets. Most include a TV, and many hosts add Wi-Fi hotspots, outdoor showers (clutch for sandy feet), beach chairs, umbrellas, and bike racks as add-ons. Travel trailers sleep 4-8, Class C motorhomes 4-6 with seatbelted travel seats, and campervans 2-4 in a more nimble package. Use RVezy filters for Sleeps Count and amenities to dial in exactly what you need. Pro tip: a generator-equipped rig means you can boondock at Bass River with full AC running.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=North%20Beach%20Haven%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in the North Beach Haven area commonly offer popular add-ons that make life easier: beach gear packages, linens and kitchen kits, generators, bike racks, paddleboards, propane refills, and the big one, delivery and setup (often with free miles included). Pickup logistics are flexible: meet at the host's home in Manahawkin, Stafford, or Barnegat, or have them deliver directly to your campground or Long Beach Island rental house. Mileage and add-on pricing vary by listing, so check the listing details and message the host with your itinerary. Pro tip: bundle delivery plus a generator plus a beach gear pack and you've basically pre-built a turnkey Long Beach Island vacation.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=North%20Beach%20Haven%2C%20New%20JerseyHow do payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and handled securely through RVezy, no cash exchanges with the host on pickup day. You pay your booking total (rental + fees + chosen protection plan) through the platform when you book. The host sets a security deposit, typically a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on RV value, which is pre-authorized (not charged) on your card shortly before pickup and released after a smooth return. To avoid any deposit hiccups: do a walkaround video at pickup and dropoff, return the RV with the same fuel and propane levels, empty the tanks at the dump station, and sweep out sand (Long Beach Island gets everywhere). Easy.
