Campgrounds near Runnemede, New Jersey
Runnemede is a small Camden County borough in South Jersey, located just off the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 42, roughly ten miles southeast of Center City Philadelphia. Its position at the edge of the Delaware Valley makes it a practical base for RV travelers who want easy access to Philadelphia attractions, the Jersey Shore, and the Pine Barrens without staying in the city itself.
Family-oriented options sit close by, including Lake Kandle in Sewell, roughly a half-hour from Philadelphia and about an hour from Atlantic City. Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday and Old Cedar Campground provide additional RV-friendly stops within a short drive. Four Seasons Campgrounds rounds out the closer choices for travelers who prefer a quieter setting.
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp-Resort: South Jersey sits in Williamstown on the edge of the Pine Barrens, featuring swimming pools, a lake, jumping pillows, organized activities, and character visits, making it a common pick for families with kids.
Things to do near Runnemede
Philadelphia is the region's main draw, with Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Franklin Institute, the Philadelphia Zoo, and Reading Terminal Market all reachable by a short drive or a PATCO ride. Adventure Aquarium in Camden and the Battleship New Jersey are closer options on the Delaware River waterfront.
For outdoor time, the Pinelands offer hiking, fishing, and canoe paddling. Wharton State Forest and Batsto Village are within about an hour east for hiking, paddling, and history.
On-site recreation varies by campground. Lake Kandle offers supervised swimming plus boating and fishing on a ten-acre spring-fed lake, along with an activity pool and Olympic-sized pool. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park South Jersey features pools, a lake, jumping pillows, gem mining, and daily activities with Yogi, Boo Boo, and Cindy Bear during peak season.

South Jersey campgrounds run on a distinctly seasonal calendar. Many private parks open in mid-spring and close by late fall, so trips outside the warm months require calling ahead to confirm operating dates. Lake Kandle's camping season generally runs from early May to early October. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park South Jersey typically opens in mid-April and closes in early November, with peak season running from mid-June through early September.
Summer is the busiest stretch, driven by school vacation, pool and lake access, and proximity to the Shore. Holiday weekends (Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day) fill fastest, and family resorts frequently sell out well in advance for those dates. September and October bring cooler nights, thinner crowds, and Halloween-themed weekends at many family parks.
Winter camping options in the immediate Runnemede area are limited because most private campgrounds close. Travelers looking for cold-weather stays generally need to look toward year-round parks farther out or shift to hotel lodging in the borough itself.

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!

We had a family reunion out in West Virginia the first week in August. We decided to rent an RV this how I found Rod the owner of the RV. He was very polite and up front we us the whole time. The only down fall is the no pet rule. But we definitely rent from him next year.
Mercedes B. - Aug 2024
We had a blast on our family road trip. "Archie" was easy to drive, clean and comfortable for my family of 3, with room to spare. Rod is a really nice guy and responded quickly to any question we had. We would love to do it again soon

How to book
Private campgrounds near Runnemede accept reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, and several also list availability on third-party platforms. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park South Jersey is located at 117 Coles Mill Road in Williamstown and can be booked through the park's own website or reservations line. Philadelphia South / Clarksboro KOA Holiday is bookable through the KOA reservation system online or by phone. Lake Kandle handles reservations directly and leans heavily toward seasonal camping, so nightly availability can be limited.
For summer weekends and holidays, reserve as early as possible: popular family parks routinely book out for peak dates well ahead of arrival. Ask about minimum-night stays for holidays, cancellation windows, deposit rules, and pet policies before confirming. Lake Kandle, for example, does not allow pets or tents. If traveling with a large rig, verify site length, hookup amperage, and pull-through availability at the specific site.
What to expect
Campgrounds near Runnemede lean toward private, amenity-focused resorts rather than rustic public land. Expect paved or graveled RV sites with water and electric hookups, on-site pools or lakes, laundry, showers, and camp stores. Full-service sites at some parks include 30-amp and 50-amp service with pull-throughs for big rigs, plus dump stations and a general store.
Terrain is flat, with a mix of sunny open sites and wooded loops. Family parks are lively and can be loud on weekends thanks to kids' programming, characters, and pool events. Cell service and Wi-Fi are generally reliable given the proximity to metro Philadelphia. Mosquitoes and ticks are active from late spring through early fall, so bring repellent and check for ticks after time in wooded areas or the Pine Barrens.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Runnemede, NJ
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Runnemede, NJ?
RV rental in Runnemede is more affordable than you might expect for a Philly-adjacent town. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, campervans run $125 to $200, and Class C motorhomes range from $175 to $325 depending on size and season. Booking midweek or during the shoulder months of April, May, late September, and October can shave 15 to 30 percent off peak summer pricing. For a cheap RV rental Runnemede travelers love, filter by travel trailer and look for hosts offering weekly discounts. Pro tip: pair a Sunday-to-Thursday booking with a Wharton State Forest campsite and you will stretch your budget noticeably.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Runnemede,%20New%20JerseyDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Runnemede, New Jersey?
Good news, your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Runnemede. New Jersey does not require a special license, CDL, or endorsement to drive a personal-use motorhome, campervan, or travel trailer, even for larger Class A rigs. To book on RVezy you will need to meet the approved driver requirements, which generally means being 25 or older, and you will verify your identity through the platform during checkout. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit and you are set. Most first-timers are surprised how straightforward the paperwork is, leaving more time to plan the fun stuff.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Runnemede RV rental?
Every RV rental in Runnemede booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built in, so you are covered from the moment you drive off. During checkout you choose the protection level that fits your trip, with higher tiers offering lower deductibles and broader coverage for damage to the vehicle. Hosts do not pick your coverage, you do, which means you stay in control of your peace of mind. Combine that with RVezy's support team and you can focus on the trip, not the what-ifs.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Runnemede RV trip?
Plans change, and RVezy makes it low-risk to book ahead. Every reservation is covered by RVezy's standard cancellation policy, which includes a money-back grace period right after booking so you can lock in your dates with confidence. The specific refund amount depends on how far out from your trip you cancel, and exceptional circumstances are handled by RVezy directly rather than by individual hosts. That means you get one consistent, fair process across every listing. If you are watching a nor'easter or hurricane forecast roll up the Jersey coast, contact RVezy support early and they will 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 Runnemede?
Absolutely, plenty of hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental Runnemede options, and your pup will love the trip as much as you do. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to see listings that welcome dogs, and message the host to confirm any specifics like size or breed. Once you've got the keys, head to nearby off-leash favorites like Cooper River Park in Pennsauken or the trails at Newton Lake Park, both within 15 minutes of Runnemede. Wharton State Forest also allows leashed dogs on most trails and at family campsites. Pack a tie-out, water bowl, and proof of rabies vaccination and you're ready to roll.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/whartonstateforest.htmlCan the RV be delivered to my campground or driveway in Runnemede?
Yes, RV delivery Runnemede is one of the most popular options on the platform, especially for first-time renters. Many hosts will drive the RV straight to your campground, your home, or even a Jersey Shore site, level it, hook up water, sewer, and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy and enter your destination to see exactly which hosts serve your area and what they charge per mile. It's the easiest way to skip city traffic on the AC Expressway and Route 295 and start your vacation already parked. Pro tip: book delivery to Timberlane Campground in Clarksboro for a stress-free first night.
state.nj.us/transportation/How far can I travel on a Runnemede RV trip?
Runnemede sits at the crossroads of I-295, the New Jersey Turnpike, and the Atlantic City Expressway, so you can reach a ton of incredible destinations on a single tank. Atlantic City is about 50 miles east (1 hour), Cape May is around 85 miles (1 hour 45 minutes), Wharton State Forest in the Pine Barrens is 30 miles, the Pocono Mountains are roughly 110 miles north, and Washington, DC is about 150 miles south. Each host sets their own mileage policy, and many include a generous daily allowance with optional unlimited mileage add-ons. If you're planning a long RV road trip from Runnemede, filter for RV rental with unlimited mileage to keep things simple.
state.nj.us/transportation/about/maps/Where can I park or camp my RV near Runnemede?
You've got great options for where to park an RV in Runnemede within a short drive. Timberlane Campground in Clarksboro (about 12 miles southwest) is a year-round favorite with full hookups and easy I-295 access. Atsion Family Campground inside Wharton State Forest (30 miles east) is the Pine Barrens classic with electric sites and lake swimming. Old Cedar Campground in Monroeville offers full hookups and a quiet, family vibe about 35 minutes out. For coastal trips, Big Timber Lake RV Camping Resort in Cape May Court House and Seashore Campsites in Cape May are around 90 minutes away. Overnight parking in Runnemede itself is restricted to private property and campgrounds, so book ahead.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/whartonstateforest.htmlWhen is the best time of year for RV camping in Runnemede?
Late April through mid-October is the sweet spot for RV camping Runnemede, with the absolute best stretches being May, June, September, and early October. Summer highs sit in the mid-80s°F with humidity, while spring and fall days hover in the comfortable 60s and 70s°F, nights cool to the 50s, and the bugs ease off. July and August are peak Jersey Shore season, so book your coastal campgrounds early. Winter RV trips are possible too, with daytime highs around 40°F, just look for a four-season RV listing with a heated underbelly. Insider tip: the second weekend of October paints Wharton State Forest in spectacular fall color and campsites are usually still wide open.
weather.gov/phi/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be able to handle it?
Yes, and you're in good company, most Runnemede renters are first-timers. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup, covering the slide-outs, water, electric, propane, holding tanks, and driving tips before you leave. You can also message your host any time during the trip with questions. If you're nervous about driving in South Jersey traffic, choose a smaller Class C or campervan rental Runnemede option, or book delivery so the host handles the driving entirely. First time renting an RV becomes a lot less intimidating when someone walks you through every button. Pro tip: do your first night close to home at Timberlane so you can settle in before any long drives.
nj.gov/mvc/license/basic.htmWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RV rental in Runnemede includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, covering flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, towing, and fuel delivery. You can also message your host directly through the RVezy app, since they know their RV best and can often troubleshoot small issues in a single text. If you need extra help, the RVezy support team is available before, during, and after your trip. Save the roadside number in your phone before pickup and keep it next to the registration in the glovebox, and you will have peace of mind from Runnemede to the Outer Banks.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Runnemede RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, US interstate travel is the whole point of an RV road trip from Runnemede, and most hosts welcome it. Popular routes include the Jersey Shore down to Cape May, the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, Shenandoah and Skyline Drive in Virginia, the Outer Banks in North Carolina, and Acadia National Park in Maine. Cross-border travel into Canada may be allowed with advance approval from your host so insurance can be confirmed, just message them before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because the protection plan does not extend there. Pro tip: a 5-day trip from Runnemede to the Outer Banks and back is one of the East Coast's best loops.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Runnemede RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second biggest expense after the rental itself, but it's easy to estimate. Class C motorhomes average 8 to 10 miles per gallon (mpg), campervans get 15 to 20 mpg, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle, typically 10 to 14 mpg combined. New Jersey gas prices tend to run a few cents below the national average, and as a bonus all NJ stations are full-service so an attendant pumps for you. For a 4-day trip with 400 miles of driving in a Class C, budget around $180 to $240 in fuel. Pro tip: fill up in NJ before crossing into Pennsylvania, where prices and taxes are usually higher.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Runnemede?
For the best campgrounds near Runnemede, book as early as you can, especially for summer weekends and holidays. New Jersey State Parks like Wharton, Bass River, and Belleplain open reservations up to 11 months in advance through the NJ Outdoors reservation portal at njportal.com/dep/njoutdoors, and popular sites at Atsion fill up by March for July and August. Private parks like Timberlane Campground and Big Timber Lake usually take reservations 6 to 12 months ahead. For shoulder-season trips, 2 to 4 weeks of lead time is usually plenty. Pro tip: if you strike out on weekends, look for Sunday-through-Wednesday stays, availability opens up dramatically midweek even in peak summer.
njportal.com/dep/njoutdoorsWhat are the driving conditions like around Runnemede?
Driving an RV around Runnemede is very manageable once you know the local quirks. The town sits right off I-295 and Route 168 (the Black Horse Pike), with the Atlantic City Expressway and NJ Turnpike just minutes away, so you can usually avoid the worst Philly traffic. Stick to truck-friendly routes and watch for low clearances on the Ben Franklin and Walt Whitman Bridges if you're headed into Philadelphia. On the Garden State Parkway, towed vehicles need all four wheels on the ground. Rush hour (7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.) on I-295 around Camden gets thick, so plan departures outside those windows. Pro tip: use an RV-specific GPS to avoid surprise low bridges in older shore towns.
state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/roads/What amenities can I expect at campgrounds around Runnemede?
Campgrounds near Runnemede range from full-service resorts to rustic state park sites, so you can pick your vibe. Private parks like Timberlane in Clarksboro and Old Cedar in Monroeville offer 30/50-amp electric, water, sewer hookups, dump stations, Wi-Fi, pools, and laundry. State parks like Atsion (Wharton State Forest) and Bass River provide electric and water at most RV sites, plus a centralized dump station and potable water fill, with hot showers and flush toilets in season. Free dump stations are also available at select Flying J/Pilot truck stops along I-295 and the NJ Turnpike. Pro tip: top off your fresh water before leaving the campground, Pine Barrens water tastes amazing but smells faintly of cedar.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/What's actually inside the RVs available in Runnemede?
You'll be impressed by how well-equipped your motorhome rental Runnemede comes. Most listings include real beds (queens in the back, convertible dinettes and sofas for extras), a kitchen with fridge, freezer, stovetop, microwave, sink, and full cookware, a bathroom with toilet and shower, climate control with air conditioning and a furnace, and seatbelted seats for travel. Many hosts also throw in a TV, Bluetooth speakers, outdoor chairs, a grill, and a generator or solar for off-grid power. Wi-Fi is sometimes provided, but a personal hotspot is reliable in South Jersey. Check the listing's amenity list and message the host with any must-haves, like a kid-friendly bunkhouse or a coffee maker, before you book.
fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/title49/section/393.93What add-ons and mileage policies should I look for when booking?
RVezy hosts in Runnemede offer flexible add-ons that can make your trip way easier. Common options include linen and kitchen packages, camp chairs and outdoor rugs, generators, bike racks, grills, portable Wi-Fi, and even pre-stocked propane and full water tanks at pickup. Mileage policies vary by host: most include 100 to 150 free miles per day with extra miles around $0.30 to $0.50 each, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage as an add-on, great for a long RV road trip from Runnemede to the Outer Banks. Pickup and dropoff usually happen at the host's location, with delivery available too. Check the listing details carefully and message the host through RVezy before booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Runnemede,%20New%20JerseyHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is simple and secure through the RVezy platform. You pay your rental total by credit or debit card when you book, with the cost broken out clearly between nightly rate, service fee, protection plan, and any add-ons. A refundable security deposit is held separately on your card before the trip starts, with the amount set based on the RV and protection level you chose. As long as the RV is returned in the same condition with the agreed mileage, the hold is released after dropoff. Pro tip: take a quick video walkaround at pickup and dropoff, it is the easiest way to keep your deposit issue-free.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksIs Runnemede a good base for a family RV trip?
Runnemede is an outstanding launchpad for a family RV trip thanks to its central South Jersey location. You're 50 minutes from Atlantic City's boardwalk and beaches, 90 minutes from Cape May's Victorian streets and Sunset Beach, 30 minutes from the swimming lake and trails at Atsion in Wharton State Forest, and just 20 minutes from Philadelphia's Liberty Bell and the Adventure Aquarium in Camden. Family RV trip Runnemede itineraries often combine 2 nights at Timberlane Campground with 2 nights down the shore. Filter on RVezy for sleeps 6 or more, bunkhouse layouts, and Pet-Friendly if Fido's coming. Pro tip: hit Storybook Land in Egg Harbor on a weekday for short lines and a magical day with the kids.
