Wading Pines Camping Resort
262 RV Sites, 16 Cabins
Wading Pines Camping Resort in New Jersey's Pine Barrens offers 262 RV sites and 16 cabins along the Wading River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 85 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories at several amperages join a pool, recreation center, kayak rentals, and pond.
Two hundred sixty-two sites span back-in 20/30-amp, back-in 20/30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 20/30/50-amp water-and-electric, back-in 30-amp, and back-in 30/50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV, sized to 85 feet. Check your tier carefully — several categories carry water and electric but not sewer at the site, and the dump station covers the rest. Eighty-five feet is generous for a New Jersey property. Sixteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, and firewood handle the practical side.
An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with kayak rentals opening the river for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. A recreation center, game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, a pond, playground, and dog park fill the grounds, with live music and planned activities through the season. A state park, beaches, an amusement park, a golf course, and wine tasting are all nearby.
The Pine Barrens is a million-acre coastal plain wilderness of pitch pine and Atlantic white cedar, tea-colored streams, and rare species found almost nowhere else in the Northeast.
Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.
