Camping near Wildwood, New Jersey
Wildwood sits on a barrier island at the southern tip of the Jersey Shore, in Cape May County. Public campgrounds are limited on the Wildwood barrier island itself, so most RV camping happens in nearby Cape May, Lower Township, and Cape May Court House, within a short drive of Wildwood's free beaches and boardwalk. Nearly all sites are private, amenity-heavy resorts rather than primitive or state-run parks.
The closest options for RV travelers include Sun Outdoors Cape May, Holly Shores Campground, Beachcomber Camping Resort, Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood, and Shellbay Campgrounds. Beachcomber Camping Resort is a 100-acre wooded park with full-service amenities about four miles from the Wildwood and Cape May boardwalks and beaches. Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood, formerly Cape May KOA, offers a large lake, sandy beach, and RV sites that accommodate big rigs.
Most sites in the area are wooded, on sandy soil with pine and oak coverage that provides natural shade. Expect family-oriented resorts with pools, playgrounds, and organized weekend activities rather than backcountry solitude.
Things to do around Wildwood
The Wildwood Boardwalk stretches roughly two miles along the beach, with three Morey's Piers amusement parks, roller coasters, water rides, restaurants, shops, and arcades, and Wildwood's beaches are free with no beach tags required. That combination makes it one of the more budget-friendly Jersey Shore stops for families traveling by RV.
Beyond the boardwalk, the Cape May County Zoo offers free admission and houses hundreds of animals, the Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum covers regional WWII history, and the Victorian town of Cape May adds lighthouse tours, whale watching, and dining.
Cape May Point State Park has hiking trails and a historic lighthouse, and nearby wildlife refuges offer a chance to see ospreys and shorebirds along the Delaware Bay. Fishing, kayaking, and bike rentals are widely available from local outfitters and several campgrounds.

The camping season in this coastal region typically runs from April through October, with most developed campgrounds closing during winter months. Sun Outdoors Cape May, for example, generally operates from mid-April through the end of October, and Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood keeps a similar season. Winter RV camping directly on the Cape May peninsula is very limited.
Summer is peak season. Reservations are essential during summer weekends and holidays when occupancy reaches maximum, and sites with hookups and premium amenities often book months in advance. Independence Day week and mid-July through mid-August tend to fill first.
Spring and fall camping offers more comfortable conditions with daytime highs generally in the 55 to 75 degree Fahrenheit range and significantly fewer crowds. Late September and early October are especially good for RV travel, with lingering warm ocean temperatures, thinner boardwalk crowds, and Halloween-themed weekends at several resorts.
Booking an RV site near Wildwood
Almost all campgrounds serving Wildwood are private resorts that take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone, and several are also bookable via third-party platforms such as Campspot. There is no single central reservation system for the Cape May peninsula, and Cape May County itself does not run public RV campgrounds.
For a summer trip, contact Sun Outdoors Cape May, Holly Shores Campground, Beachcomber Camping Resort, Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood, or Shellbay Campgrounds as soon as dates are firm. Sites with hookups and premium amenities often book months in advance for peak season.
Before booking, confirm rig-length limits, whether the site is back-in or pull-through, hookup amperage, and the resort's minimum-stay rule on holiday weekends. Cancellation windows tighten sharply in July and August.
What to expect on-site
Expect large, amenity-heavy family resorts rather than quiet nature parks. Mixed-use campgrounds dominate the Wildwood area, with facilities offering multiple accommodation types, and many properties feature swimming pools, lakes, recreation halls, and organized activities alongside standard camping amenities. Pools, mini golf, jumping pillows, and weekend entertainment are common.
RV sites in the area typically provide water and electric or full hookups and include back-in and pull-through options on gravel or concrete pads that can accommodate slide-outs. A mix of seasonal, cabin, and overnight camping is standard. Trees and site layout can require care when backing in, and larger RVs should confirm site dimensions in advance.
Bring bug spray, beach chairs, and a bike rack. Sites can feel tight during peak summer, and traffic on Route 9 and the Garden State Parkway backs up on Friday afternoons and Sunday check-outs.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Wildwood, NJ
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Wildwood?
RV rental in Wildwood is more affordable than most people expect, especially compared to beachfront hotel rates near the boardwalk in July. Travel trailers typically run $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes range from $175 to $300, and luxury Class A rigs can reach $400 or more in peak summer. To save, target shoulder season (May or late September) when prices often drop 20 to 40 percent and the Jersey Shore is still warm. Pro tip: book a travel trailer with delivery to a campground like Holly Shores or King Nummy Trail and skip the towing learning curve entirely. Booking midweek can also unlock cheaper RV rental in Wildwood from local hosts.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wildwood%2C%20New%20JerseyDo I need a special license to rent an RV in Wildwood?
Good news: your regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Wildwood. New Jersey does not require a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or any special RV endorsement for the personal motorhomes and travel trailers available on RVezy. Approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and you'll upload a clear photo of your license during the quick ID verification step on the platform. Visiting from outside the US? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association before you fly in. Most first-time renters are surprised how simple the paperwork is, leaving you free to focus on planning your boardwalk and beach days.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat protection is included with my Wildwood RV rental?
Every RV rental in Wildwood booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can cruise across the Cape May Bridge with real peace of mind. During checkout you choose your protection level (the guest selects, not the host), and each plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip up to the plan limits. It isn't traditional auto insurance, but it removes the biggest financial worry most first-timers have. Roadside help covers flats, lockouts, jump-starts, and towing if you need it on the Garden State Parkway. Pro tip: pick a higher-tier protection plan for July and August trips when boardwalk traffic and tight campground turns increase the odds of minor scrapes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Wildwood RV trip?
Booking is low-risk because RVezy sets the cancellation policy (not the individual host), and there is a money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in your dates without stress. If a nor'easter rolls up the Jersey Shore or your plans change, RVezy's support team reviews cancellations against the published policy to help you get the best outcome. The full cancellation terms, including how refunds work as your trip start date approaches, are available in the RVezy Help Center before you confirm. Pro tip: book early for Wildwoods events like the Barefoot Country Music Fest, since dates sell out and locking in your RV rental in Wildwood now keeps you covered.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Wildwood RV rental?
Absolutely, pet-friendly RV rental in Wildwood is easy to find on RVezy. Just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter and you'll see plenty of motorhomes and travel trailers whose owners welcome dogs (some allow cats too). Wildwood is genuinely dog-friendly off-season: dogs are allowed on the Wildwoods beaches outside the peak summer season, and there is a dedicated dog beach area in North Wildwood. Sunset Lake and the bayside parks are great for morning walks. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any size limits, and ask about the nearest pet-friendly campground loop. Cape May County Park and Zoo is another fun, leashed-pet-welcome stop.
wildwoodsnj.com/things-to-do/beach/Can the RV be delivered to my campsite in Wildwood?
Yes, RV delivery in Wildwood is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Many Wildwood-area hosts will tow the trailer or park the motorhome at your campground, level it, hook up water, sewer, and electric, and walk you through every system before they leave. Popular delivery spots include Holly Shores Camping Resort in Cape May, King Nummy Trail Campground in Cape May Court House, and Big Timber Lake RV Camping Resort just up the road. Filter listings by Delivery to see what's available. Pro tip: ask the host to deliver on a Thursday or Friday morning to beat the Cape May Bridge weekend traffic.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wildwood%2C%20New%20JerseyHow far can I drive on a Wildwood RV trip?
You have serious range from Wildwood, and many hosts offer generous daily mileage or even RV rental with unlimited mileage for longer Jersey Shore explorations. Each listing displays its mileage policy upfront, with typical allowances of 100 to 150 free miles per day and a small per-mile fee beyond that. From Wildwood you can easily reach Cape May Point State Park (about 20 minutes), Atlantic City (about 50 minutes), Ocean City NJ (about 35 minutes), Philadelphia (about 2 hours), or New York City (about 2.5 to 3 hours depending on traffic). Pro tip: if you're planning a multi-stop RV road trip from Wildwood up the coast, message the host and request an unlimited-mileage add-on before booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wildwood%2C%20New%20JerseyWhere are the best campgrounds near Wildwood?
Wildwood is surrounded by some of the best campgrounds on the Jersey Shore, and most are within 15 to 20 minutes of the boardwalk. Holly Shores Camping Resort in Cape May has a pool, lake, and shuttle to the beach. King Nummy Trail Campground in Cape May Court House is a family favorite with full hookups and wooded sites. Big Timber Lake RV Camping Resort offers a private lake, mini-golf, and family activities. North Wildwood Campground sits near the bay with easy access to town, and Driftwood RV Resort in Clermont has full hookups and is a short drive to the beach. Pro tip: book your campsite as soon as your RV rental in Wildwood is confirmed, since shore campgrounds fill up by early spring for July and August weekends.
hollyshores.com/When is the best time to rent an RV in Wildwood?
The sweet spot for a Wildwood RV trip is late May through mid-September, when ocean temps climb into the 70s and daytime highs sit comfortably in the 75 to 87 F range. July and August are the warmest and busiest, with boardwalk fireworks and the Barefoot Country Music Fest in late June. For cheap RV rental in Wildwood and quieter beaches, target early June or the second and third weeks of September, when the water is still swimmable and rates drop noticeably. October brings crisp 60s, fewer crowds, and dog-friendly beach access returning. Pro tip: Memorial Day weekend kicks off the season but the Cape May Bridge backs up badly on Friday afternoons, so arrive Thursday if you can.
weather.gov/phi/I've never driven an RV. Will I be okay in Wildwood?
You'll do great, first time renting an RV in Wildwood is honestly one of the easier places to start. The roads into the Wildwoods are flat, the Garden State Parkway is straightforward, and most local campgrounds have wide, pull-through sites. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering the generator, slide-outs, propane, water, and waste systems, and you can message them throughout your trip. If you're nervous about towing or backing in, choose a host that offers delivery and setup, and you'll never have to maneuver the rig yourself. Pro tip: avoid Pacific Avenue in Wildwood on summer Saturday afternoons (it is pedestrian-heavy near the boardwalk) and stick to Ocean or New Jersey Avenue.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, so a flat tire on the Garden State Parkway, a dead battery at Holly Shores, or a lockout near the Wildwood boardwalk is a single phone call away from being fixed. Your host is also typically a message away for quick questions about quirks like the awning or water heater. RVezy's customer support team is available before, during, and after your trip if you need help escalating anything. Pro tip: save the roadside assistance number and your host's contact in your phone before you leave the driveway, and snap a photo of the RV's VIN and plate just in case.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Wildwood RV rental to other states or into Canada?
Yes, most hosts allow interstate travel, which makes a Wildwood RV trip an awesome jumping-off point for the whole Northeast. Popular routes include heading north up the Jersey Shore to Asbury Park, west to Lancaster's Amish Country (about 3 hours), the Pocono Mountains (about 3 hours), or south to Assateague Island's wild ponies in Maryland (about 3 hours). Travel into Canada is sometimes allowed but depends on the individual host and their insurance, so message them directly before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental. Pro tip: a 3-day loop through Cape May, Wildwood, and Ocean City is the easiest first multi-stop itinerary if you want variety without big miles.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel economy and gas costs should I budget for?
Budgeting for fuel is simple once you know the ranges. Class C motorhomes typically get 8 to 12 miles per gallon, Class A rigs get 6 to 10, and a tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer averages 10 to 14. In New Jersey, attendants pump your fuel for you, since self-serve at retail gas stations is not permitted by state law. Most stations on Rio Grande Boulevard and Route 47 can accommodate larger RVs. For a typical 4-day Wildwood RV trip with around 200 miles of driving, expect roughly $80 to $150 in fuel depending on rig and current prices. Pro tip: fill up at a station on Route 9 in Rio Grande before crossing into the Wildwoods, since boardwalk-area stations often charge more.
nj.gov/oag/newsreleases17/pr20170509a.htmlHow far ahead should I book a campground near Wildwood?
For Wildwood RV camping, the earlier the better, especially for July, August, and any Wildwoods festival weekend. Holly Shores, Big Timber Lake, and King Nummy Trail commonly book out by February or March for prime summer dates. State parks like Belleplain State Forest (about 30 minutes inland) open reservations through the New Jersey State Park reservation system up to several months in advance and are excellent value. For shoulder season (May, September, October) you can often book 2 to 4 weeks out. Pro tip: lock in your campsite first, then book your matching RV rental in Wildwood on RVezy, that way your dates and delivery location are already nailed down.
newjerseystateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are the local driving conditions like around Wildwood?
Driving in and around Wildwood is refreshingly easy compared to most beach towns: streets are flat, the grid is simple, and you'll mostly use the Garden State Parkway, Route 47, and Ocean Drive. Bridges along Ocean Drive and approaches into Cape May can back up Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings in summer, so plan around those windows. Watch for height-restricted underpasses on local side streets, most RVs clear standard clearances but always know your rig's exact height. Coastal wind on the bridges can push taller Class A motorhomes, so reduce speed in gusts. Pro tip: use New Jersey Avenue rather than Pacific Avenue when moving through Wildwood, it is far less congested with pedestrians and bikes.
state.nj.us/transportation/What amenities will I find at Wildwood-area campgrounds?
Wildwood-area campgrounds are generally well-equipped, which makes RV camping in Wildwood very low-stress. Expect full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, sewer) at private parks like Holly Shores, King Nummy Trail, and Big Timber Lake, plus pools, camp stores, laundry, Wi-Fi, and propane refills on site. Dump stations and potable water fills are standard, and many parks have beach shuttles in season. State-managed sites like Belleplain State Forest are more rustic with limited hookups. Pro tip: top off your fresh water tank and dump before leaving the campground rather than searching for a public dump station, since public options are limited in Cape May County. Many parks also rent bikes or golf carts to zip around.
nj.gov/dep/parksandforests/parks/belle.htmlWhat's inside a typical Wildwood RV rental?
You'll be impressed by how complete these rigs are. A typical motorhome rental in Wildwood sleeps 4 to 8 with a queen bed, convertible dinette, and bunk or sofa options; a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, and sink; a bathroom with toilet and shower; and air conditioning, furnace, and often a generator for off-grid power. Most have a TV, some have Wi-Fi boosters, and seatbelted seats for travel. Campervan rental in Wildwood is perfect for couples wanting a nimble beach base. Listings spell out exactly what's included plus linens, kitchenware, and outdoor chairs. Pro tip: filter by Sleeps and check the photos for outdoor showers, an absolute lifesaver after a day on Wildwood's free beaches.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wildwood%2C%20New%20JerseyWhat add-ons and pickup options are available?
Hosts offering motorhome rental in Wildwood often include great add-ons that make the trip easier: bike rentals (perfect for the boardwalk), beach chair and umbrella kits, outdoor grills, generators, extra propane, kayaks or paddleboards for Sunset Lake, and even pre-stocked groceries. Pickup is usually at the host's home or a nearby meeting spot, and delivery to Holly Shores, North Wildwood Campground, or your beach rental driveway is widely available for a flat fee or per-mile rate set by the host. Each listing displays mileage policy, generator-hour limits, and any pet fees right on the page. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, and a bike add-on, you'll skip towing, parking hassles, and the rental shop line at the boardwalk.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Wildwood%2C%20New%20JerseyHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure: you pay through RVezy at booking using a credit or debit card, and your funds are protected by the platform (no cash or off-platform payments). A refundable security deposit is held separately from your booking payment and released after your trip once the host confirms there is no damage, missing items, or excess cleaning. The exact deposit amount and any cleaning, dump-station, or generator fees are clearly listed on each Wildwood listing before you book. Pro tip: do a quick walk-around video at pickup and return, time-stamped phone footage makes resolving any post-trip questions effortless and helps you get your full deposit back fast.
