The southern NJ Shore campgrounds (Cape May) fit the bill for what you seem to be looking for. The problem is- none of them are really "on" the beach or water.
We go to Sea Pines because we're Thousand Trails/Outdoor World members:

Looks promising, can you recommend a beach location that might not be in the heart of the chaos?
As Bill & Kate indicated - Avalon and Stone Harbor are your two closest places. Yes, they do charge beach tags ($14/week or $25/year per person). My wife's grandmother prides herself in avoiding the beach tag inspectors each year.
That said- even if you end up at the public beach in Avalon or Stone Harbor, it isn't anything like OCMD crowded-ness. A "busy" day in Avalon is like a slow area of OCMD.
If you go a few blocks in either direction from the road in from Avalon- that's 30th street, I think. Either 25 and lower or 34 and higher are going to get less and less people until you get near hotels.

A free beach is Strathmere just north of the campground a bit.
