Campgrounds near Penns Grove
Penns Grove sits in Salem County, New Jersey, on the east bank of the Delaware River just across from Wilmington. The location gives RV travelers quick access to I-295 and the New Jersey Turnpike, with Philadelphia roughly thirty miles to the north and the Delaware Memorial Bridge minutes away. The area functions as a practical basecamp for trips that mix regional history, farm country, and the Atlantic beaches farther east.
Private RV parks dominate the nearby lodging picture. Camp Country Center and Four Seasons Campgrounds sit closest to town, while Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday offers a country-style campground in Clarksboro that works as a basecamp for exploring historic downtown Philadelphia. Adventure Bound Tall Pines and Old Cedar Campground round out the closer options, each with full-hookup sites suited to larger rigs.
For a state-park option, Parvin State Park sits in Pittsgrove Township about five miles west of Vineland, roughly 40 miles south of Philadelphia, and covers just over 2,000 acres of pine forest, hardwood swamp, and lakeshore. It is the nearest public campground of note when private parks are full.
Things to do near Penns Grove
The Delaware River corridor drives most day trips. Families cross the bridge to Wilmington for the Delaware Children's Museum and the Brandywine Zoo, or head north on I-295 for Philadelphia's historic district, the Franklin Institute, and the Please Touch Museum. Fort Mott State Park, just south of Penns Grove, preserves late-1800s coastal defenses and offers a river walk and picnic grounds.
Inland, Salem and Cumberland counties are farm country. Pick-your-own orchards, roadside produce stands, and small wineries cluster along Route 40. Parvin State Park offers about 15 miles of multi-use trails for walking, jogging, and biking, along with two lakes, Parvin Lake and Thundergust Lake, and Muddy Run stream for canoeing and kayaking.
Most private campgrounds in the area run pools, playgrounds, and weekend activity schedules, which keeps younger kids occupied on rainy days or after long drives.

South Jersey follows a four-season pattern with hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters. The region sits in a humid subtropical zone, and the moderating effect of the nearby Delaware Bay and Atlantic lessens temperature extremes compared with interior locations, though the area still sees cold winter stretches, hot summers, and steady precipitation through the year.
Most private campgrounds and the state park run a spring-through-fall season. Parvin State Park's tent and trailer sites are open April 1 through October 31, with a limited number of pet-friendly sites available. Peak demand runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with July and August the busiest and hottest weeks.
Shoulder seasons tend to reward planners. May brings mild days, flowering trees, and lower crowds; September and October combine warm afternoons with cooler nights, fewer bugs, and hardwood color across Salem and Gloucester counties. Winter camping options are limited, and coastal storms known as nor'easters can bring heavy rain or wet snow between December and March.
How to book
Private parks near Penns Grove take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Camp Country Center, Four Seasons Campgrounds, Adventure Bound Tall Pines, and Old Cedar Campground handle their own booking calendars, while Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday uses the KOA reservation platform. Holiday weekends and July stays should be locked in several months out.
State-park sites work differently. Online reservations for New Jersey state parks are made at camping.nj.gov, and sites can be reserved up to 11 months in advance of the check-in date. Popular weekends at Parvin State Park release and fill quickly at that eleven-month mark, so setting a calendar reminder helps.
RV renters should confirm site length, hookup type, and any big-rig restrictions before booking, especially at wooded parks with narrow interior roads.
What to expect
Expect a mix of tightly packed private RV resorts with pools and cabins, plus one wooded state-park campground with more basic facilities. At Parvin State Park's Jaggers Point campground, sites have no water, electric, or sewer hookups, but potable water spigots, a sanitary dump station, flush toilets, hot showers, and laundry are all within walking distance. Private parks in the area typically offer 30- and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer.
Roads into Penns Grove are flat and easy to drive, with the New Jersey Turnpike, I-295, and Route 40 all within a short distance. Traffic thickens on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings around the Delaware Memorial Bridge, so timing arrivals and departures midday helps.
Bugs peak in July and August, especially near lakes and wooded sites. Bring repellent, plan for humidity, and pack rain gear; summer thunderstorms move through quickly but can be intense.
