Misty Mountain Camp Resort

92 RV Sites, 16 Cabins, 15 Tent Sites

Misty Mountain Camp Resort in Greenwood, Virginia, is a full-hookup camp resort with RV sites, tent sites and cabin rentals, an outdoor pool, a fitness center and a clubhouse, set half a mile off Interstate 64 at the eastern foot of the Blue Ridge. The property is big-rig friendly and takes coaches up to 90 feet, which makes it one of the more accommodating options in the Rockfish Gap corridor between Charlottesville and Shenandoah National Park. Full-hookup RV sites handle rigs to 90 feet, with a dump station on site for guests who need it. Tent sites suit campers who want the mountain setting without hauling a rig, and cabin rentals provide enclosed lodging for guests traveling without either. A general store covers basics, propane is available by both fill and exchange, and firewood is sold on site. Bathrooms, showers and laundry are available throughout the season, and WiFi reaches the sites. On-site recreation is unusually deep for a campground this size. An outdoor pool anchors the summer season, with a fitness center and clubhouse open year-round and a recreation center for indoor gathering. Sports courts host basketball and volleyball, and horseshoes and corn hole fill the space between. A playground serves younger guests, a fenced dog park serves the four-legged ones, and walking trails run the property past a pond and the creek that crosses the grounds. A covered pavilion hosts planned activities, live music and visiting food trucks through the summer, and the resort also operates as a wedding venue. Gem mining and gold panning round out the on-site programming. Pets are welcome. Shenandoah National Park's southern entrance at Rockfish Gap is 20 miles north, where Skyline Drive begins its 105-mile run along the Blue Ridge crest and the Blue Ridge Parkway heads south toward Cherokee. Charlottesville lies 15 miles east on I-64, putting Monticello, the University of Virginia and the Downtown Mall within a half-hour drive, and the Greenwood-area wineries sit closer still. Misty Mountain operates through Albemarle County's four-season climate. Spring wildflowers from April into May and fall foliage from mid-October into early November are the two peak windows, and both draw heavily from the Richmond, Northern Virginia and Washington markets. Book well ahead for fall color weekends and for the summer live-music calendar.

Reserve well ahead.

Sun Outdoors Ocean City

318 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites, 41 Cottages

On 50 acres of Sinepuxent Bay waterfront in Berlin, Maryland—12 minutes from the Ocean City boardwalk and immediately adjacent to the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on the Maryland side where the wild ponies of Assateague Island roam the same barrier island beach that the Atlantic surf and the Sinepuxent Bay's calm water flank on either side—Sun Outdoors Ocean City (formerly Castaways RV Resort) provides full hookup RV sites, tent sites, and furnished cottages on the bay waterfront with a Frozen Sun Tiki Bar, a Bay Breeze Café, a dog beach and Bark Park, watercraft rentals, kayaking, paddleboarding, and a complimentary shuttle bus running to both the Ocean City boardwalk and to Assateague Island. The shuttle service to two separate destinations—boardwalk and wild ponies—from a single campground eliminates the two most common logistical complaints about visiting both Ocean City and Assateague on the same trip. Full hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections accommodate rigs up to 45 feet on paved premium waterfront pads and partial gravel-and-grass combinations depending on site position. Furnished cottage rentals provide the turnkey accommodation option for guests without RVs. The Sinepuxent Bay waterfront position creates the specific visual environment of a bayside campground where the sunset over the bay and the sound of bay water replacing the ocean's surf provide a measurably different atmosphere from the oceanfront campground alternatives. The Frozen Sun Tiki Bar and Bay Breeze Café serve the food and beverage needs throughout the operating day. A dog beach and Bark Park serve the dog-owning population that beach campgrounds attract in significant numbers, and the complimentary dog wash station keeps the sand-covered bay dogs manageable for the overnight stay. Kayaking, paddleboarding, and watercraft rentals provide the bay water recreation access directly from the resort's bayside position. The complimentary shuttle bus service—connecting the campground to the Ocean City boardwalk in one direction and to Assateague Island in the other—is the specific logistical innovation that converts a bayside campground stay into a multi-destination access point without requiring guests to navigate the Ocean City summer traffic with their own vehicles. Ocean City's 10-mile boardwalk, its Ferris wheel and amusement rides, its tram service, and the concentrated seafood restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues represent the East Coast's most active resort beach town experience on a per-block basis. Assateague Island—the barrier island shared between Maryland and Virginia where the wild pony herd descended from horses stranded by a 17th-century shipwreck (or possibly escaped from Colonial-era Chincoteague settlers, depending on which historical interpretation one prefers) has roamed free through the saltmarsh and beach grass for three centuries—provides the natural counterpoint to Ocean City's commercial density. The Maryland portion, managed as Assateague Island National Seashore and Assateague State Park, provides beach camping, swimming, and pony viewing in a wild setting that Ocean City's 9 miles of developed boardwalk makes possible to access as a day trip. Sun Outdoors Ocean City is open seasonally through the Maryland shore season. Peak summer demand from June through August requires the earliest possible reservation for waterfront sites. The fall shoulder season—when the Sinepuxent Bay's waterfowl hunting season opens and the pony population on Assateague enters the cooler months without the summer crowds—provides the most atmospheric off-peak visit. Reserve your bay-view site early, check the shuttle schedule for the Assateague morning departure, and let the Chincoteague ponies and the Ocean City boardwalk earn the Maryland Shore trip that both of them separately deserve.

Sun Retreats Seashore

151 RV Sites, 15 Tent Sites, 13 Cottages, 2 Houses

Sun Retreats Seashore in Cape May, New Jersey, offers 151 RV sites, 15 cottages and houses, and 15 tent sites at the southern tip of the state, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Oversized pull-through sites join back-in categories, alongside a private sandy beach, swimming lake, and two waterslides. One hundred fifty-one sites span back-in, water-and-electric back-in, pull-through, and oversized pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The oversized pull-throughs are worth requesting for longer rigs. Fifteen cottages and houses and 15 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and a snack bar handle the practical side. The property was formerly Sun Retreats Cape May. A private sandy beach and swimming lake with two waterslides anchor the recreation, with an outdoor pool alongside. Mini-golf, a fitness center, library, sports courts, tennis, volleyball, basketball, an arcade, playground, dog park, and pavilion fill the grounds, with fishing and planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome. Cape May sits where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic at one of the Eastern Seaboard's most charming Victorian resort towns, and the property has built a reputation as one of the Garden State's best. Summer is decisively the season on the Jersey Cape. Reserve well ahead.

Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood

52 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 38 Tent Sites

On Route 9 in Cape May at the southern tip of New Jersey's Shore, Sun Retreats Cape May Wildwood provides a full-service family campground within five miles of the Victorian resort beaches of Cape May and the Wildwood boardwalk's roller coasters and salt water taffy shops—a private lake, sandy beach, swimming pool, and 60-foot pull-through full-hookup sites that serve both the destination visitor who comes to the Cape May peninsula specifically for its historic architecture and world-class birding and the Shore-bound family who wants an affordable base for the full Cape May-to-Wildwood entertainment corridor. Kayaking, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, fishing, a fitness center, and planned activities create the on-property recreation calendar that makes Cape May Wildwood genuinely resort-grade rather than simply a well-positioned campground. Full-hookup pull-through sites on gravel pads with concrete patios accommodate rigs up to 60 feet with room for slide-outs, and each site includes a fire pit, picnic table, and Wi-Fi connection alongside 20/30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer service. Cabin and cottage rentals extend accommodation options for guests without RVs, and tent sites serve the traditional camping community. The private lake, sandy beach, swimming pool, snack bar, fitness center, and the dedicated pet area for well-behaved dogs complete the amenity suite for a property that serves the full family recreational spectrum on the Cape May peninsula. The private lake and sandy beach provide the campground's central aquatic recreation feature—a sheltered freshwater environment for kayaking, fishing, and swimming in the calm conditions that the Atlantic Ocean's surf and Cape May Harbor's tidal current make more challenging for casual water recreation. Fishing the lake's resident bass and panfish population, kayaking on still water, and the pool's controlled environment give guests multiple aquatic options without the car transport and parking competition that Cape May's ocean beach access involves during the summer peak season. Cape May, five miles south, provides the most historically intact Victorian resort community in North America—a National Historic Landmark District of more than 600 Victorian-era buildings in gingerbread Queen Anne and Italianate styles that define the 19th-century resort aesthetic that Cape May's peninsular isolation preserved when Atlantic City's boardwalk model transformed the rest of the New Jersey Shore. The Cape May Lighthouse at Cape May Point State Park, active since 1859, and the Delaware Bay's world-famous spring horseshoe crab and shorebird migration—when millions of migrating red knots and ruddy turnstones converge on the bay beaches in May to feed on horseshoe crab eggs—provide the natural spectacle that makes Cape May the most significant birding destination on the Atlantic Flyway. New Jersey's Shore camping season runs primarily from April through October, with the peak summer period from late June through Labor Day filling the campground's site inventory during July 4th week and August weekends when the Cape May-Wildwood corridor reaches maximum visitor concentration. The shoulder seasons of May and September offer the Cape May experience at its most locally authentic—the spring shorebird migration on the Delaware Bay beaches and the September and October hawk migration through Cape May's famous hawkwatch, the single most productive hawk-counting station on the East Coast, extend the peninsula's appeal well beyond the summer beach season for guests who discover that the off-season Cape May is an entirely different and equally rewarding place.

Sun Retreats Avalon

30 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

At 116 Swainton-Goshen Road in Cape May Court House, New Jersey—on the southern Cape May Peninsula where the Atlantic coast's barrier island environment, the Delaware Bay's quieter waters, and the Victorian architecture of Cape May proper create the specific character of New Jersey's most historically significant and environmentally rich shore region—Sun Retreats Avalon delivers a campground experience that extends well beyond the standard shore-area RV park, with a 2,000-square-foot swimming pool, a fishing lake with kayak rentals, an 18-hole miniature golf course, a zipline course, and the full recreation programming that makes the property a multi-day family destination independent of the beach. The 30-minute proximity to Avalon and Stone Harbor's barrier island beaches provides the Atlantic shore experience that anchors the Cape May Peninsula as a summer destination; the campground's own recreation infrastructure provides everything else. The swimming pool constitutes the campground's most immediately social amenity, with 2,000 square feet of pool space accommodating the summer beach crowd's aquatic recreation needs on the frequent Cape May afternoons when the Atlantic's surf is too rough for casual swimming. A stocked fishing lake with kayak rentals available provides the alternative aquatic experience for guests who prefer controlled flat-water fishing and paddling to the ocean's more challenging conditions. An 18-hole miniature golf course, a zipline course, basketball and volleyball courts, bocce ball, shuffleboard, and playground equipment extend the non-water activity calendar for the families with children that the Cape May Peninsula's summer camping market primarily serves. A camp store, restaurant, and shower houses provide the daily practical infrastructure, and an arcade covers the rainy-afternoon entertainment need. Spacious tent sites, pop-up sites, and fully furnished cottage rentals with full kitchens, private bathrooms, air conditioning, and cable television provide the accommodation range from rustic to turnkey. The Cape May Peninsula's natural environment is organized around two distinct coastal systems. The Atlantic barrier island chain—Avalon, Stone Harbor, Cape May itself—provides the ocean beach environment that the shore market primarily sells: surf swimming, shell collecting, and the specific saltwater character of the New Jersey shore. The Delaware Bay side offers the complementary experience—shallower, warmer bay water, the 90-mile shoreline that hosts one of the most remarkable wildlife events in North America each spring. The horseshoe crab spawning that occurs on Delaware Bay beaches in May and early June—bringing half a million crabs ashore simultaneously to spawn, and in turn attracting hundreds of thousands of shorebirds from South America who time their northward migration specifically to feed on the eggs—is one of the most spectacular natural events on the Atlantic Coast, and Cape May County's bay beaches provide viewing access that ornithologists and naturalists travel from across the country to witness. The Cape May-Lewes Ferry connecting New Jersey to Delaware from Cape May's harbor extends the regional exploration to a second state with minimal driving. The Cape May lighthouse, the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor, and the birding trails of Higbee Beach Wildlife Management Area provide additional natural history programming. Sun Retreats Avalon operates through the Cape May Peninsula's primary camping season from spring through fall. Summer represents peak demand for both the campground and the surrounding shore area, and reservations fill rapidly for July and August weekends. Book early for summer, plan a Delaware Bay sunrise for horseshoe crab season, and let the southernmost point of the New Jersey shore deliver the combination of Atlantic beach, bay ecology, and Victorian heritage that makes Cape May the most distinctive shore destination on the East Coast.

The lodging range is exceptional — 29 cabins, houses, and motel rooms, plus tipi, wagon, and yurt options and 24 tent sites. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, propane exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The property was formerly Lake in Wood Camping Resort.

Shady Pines Sun RV Communities

60 RV Sites

Shady Pines in Galloway, New Jersey, offers 60 full-hookup RV sites 10 minutes from Atlantic City, with 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 80 feet. Full-hookup 50-amp and pull-through categories join an outdoor pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and game room, bordered by wildlife refuge habitat. Sixty sites run in full hookup 50-amp and full hookup 50-amp pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 80 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to note: service is 50-amp throughout, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and 80 feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow — generous for southern New Jersey. A laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. The property was formerly Shady Pines MH & RV Resort. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, billiards, shuffleboard, playground, dog park, and on-site dining filling the grounds. Live music and planned activities run through the season, and a casino is nearby. Pets are welcome. Galloway Township sits in Atlantic County with a genuinely useful split personality: Atlantic City's casinos, boardwalk, and entertainment are 10 minutes away, while the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge borders the property, delivering salt marsh, migratory bird habitat, and the quiet natural character of the barrier island back bays. Birding here is exceptional. Summer is peak on the Jersey shore, with the casino calendar keeping demand steadier year-round than most shore properties. Reserve well ahead for June through August.
