Campgrounds near North Wildwood
North Wildwood sits on Five Mile Island at the southern end of the Jersey Shore, and the campgrounds serving it cluster inland around Cape May Court House and Ocean View, roughly a fifteen to twenty minute drive from the boardwalk. The barrier island itself has no RV parks, so renters base themselves off-island and commute to the beach, the free-admission zoo, Morey's Piers, and the Wildwoods Boardwalk.
Adventure Bound Cape May and Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Cape May sit on West Shell Bay Avenue in Cape May Court House, close to the Garden State Parkway and minutes from the North Wildwood beaches. Shellbay Campgrounds occupies the same corridor, while Sun Outdoors Cape May offers a larger wooded resort with hundreds of sites. Holly Shores Campground lies further south along Route 9, closer to Cape May proper.
All five are private, amenity-focused resorts with full hookups, pools, cabins, and family programming. Renters looking for state-forest camping will not find it on the barrier islands, though Belleplain State Forest sits within 21,000 acres of pine-oak forest in southern New Jersey's Cape May County, about thirty minutes northwest for a more rustic alternative.
Things to do near North Wildwood
The Wildwoods Boardwalk is the main draw, with Morey's Piers amusement rides, arcades, and a wide free beach that stretches into North Wildwood. Hereford Inlet Lighthouse and its gardens sit at the north end of town and are easy to fold into a beach day.
Cape May Point State Park anchors day trips south, with a lighthouse, trails through dunes and freshwater ponds, and a hawk-watch platform in fall. Cape May County Park and Zoo offers free admission and sits in Cape May Court House, close to the campgrounds along Shell Bay Avenue. Whale and dolphin watching cruises run out of Cape May Harbor.
For lower-key days, the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary, the Wetlands Institute, and the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum give shaded, indoor, or nature-focused options when the boardwalk is crowded.

The camping season on the Jersey Shore runs roughly April through October, and most private resorts around North Wildwood close or run limited operations through the winter. Memorial Day through Labor Day is the peak stretch, when boardwalk rides, beach services, and campground activities all run at full capacity.
July and August bring warm, humid days with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Ocean water is warmest in August, and beach tags are required for Cape May beaches while North Wildwood keeps its beaches free. Late-season tropical systems and nor'easters can affect the coast from August into October.
Shoulder seasons are the sweet spot for RV renters who want cooler nights and quieter sites. May, early June, and September offer comfortable daytime temperatures, lower humidity, and easier reservations. Several resorts also run popular Halloween-themed weekends in September and October that book up months ahead.
How to book
Every campground on this list is privately operated, so reservations go through each park's own website or call center rather than a central system like ReserveAmerica or Recreation.gov. Adventure Bound Cape May uses Campspot for online booking, and Sun Outdoors properties book through the Sun Outdoors site.
Summer weekends, holiday weeks, and Halloween-themed weekends fill first, often months in advance. Two- or three-night minimums are common on weekends, with longer minimums over Memorial Day, July Fourth, and Labor Day. Deposits and cancellation windows vary by park, so confirm the policy before locking in an RV rental.
For state-forest camping in the region, Belleplain State Forest online reservations can be made at camping.nj.gov, available up to 11 months in advance through NJ Outdoors.
What to expect
Sites in this area are typically sandy pads under pine and oak canopy, with full hookups available at most parks and pull-throughs sized for larger motorhomes at Sun Outdoors Cape May and the Adventure Bound resorts. Cell coverage is generally usable but can drop deep in wooded loops.
Expect a family-resort atmosphere: pools, playgrounds, mini golf, planned activities, and a lot of children during peak weeks. Quiet hours are enforced but sites can be close together. Requesting a site away from the pool, entrance, and seasonal sections is a common tactic for lighter noise.
Mosquitoes and greenhead flies peak in July, ticks are present in wooded areas, and afternoon storms can roll in quickly off the Atlantic. Pack awning tie-downs, a screen room if you have one, and expect to bridge the gap between campground and beach by car.
