This campground was an absolute blast!
My wife and I went there back before we were married or had kids.
It was just the two of us, a tent and a canoe. Please note that this campground (at that time anyway) was primarily an RV and trailer campground. They do have some tent sites around their fishing pond and I think somewhere else but it’s primarily setup for their year-round or seasonal visitors.
We decided to go camping for the weekend when we were dating and figured we would go canoeing while we were there since the campground is right on the Wading River.
I won’t get into too many of the details as my wife is really tired of hearing all the stories, let’s just put it this way – it was my wife’s first experience camping and she really had no idea what to expect!
The facilities, restrooms and amenities at this campground are nice. They were a little bit run down but most definitely in working order and clean.
Please note, this is definitely a party campground. If you want to go somewhere for some peace, quiet and relaxation I would not recommend this location. Nobody was obnoxious, mean or disgusting but they also weren’t very observant of the quiet times within the camp.
Would I stay there again? Most likely, especially now that I have a trailer of my own.
One of the reasons I am so excited about my upcoming camping trip is because it’s the absolute perfect time of year!
My two most favorite times of year to camp are between September and November and from March to May. The weather absolutely cannot be beat during those two times of year up here in the NOrtheast.
From your fall foliage and your nice warm days and cool evenings to your “spring is in the air” smell it just makes my skin tingle when I think about it.
Don’t get me wrong, I have camped and will camp in the dog days of summer and in the dead of winter. The only thing that has kept me from going on a particular trip had nothing to do with the weather forecast it had to do with my kids. Even now at ages 9 and 7 I don’t take them winter camping. They are still just a little too young for it.
I’m a big guy (height and weight) so the heat and humidity of a Jersey summer kind of get to me at times. Our trailer doesn’t have air conditioning (you can bet your last dollar that our next one will!) so when it’s late JUly and into August I sweat my butt off while camping. I would still rather be out there then sitting in my air conditioned office!
Anyway, I just wanted to share my excitement about my upcoming camping trip during the most beautiful and most perfect time of the year!
Have a Great Day!
