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.
