New Jersey beach vacation
Hello everyone. I’ve never been to New Jersey beaches. Thinking about a late summer beach trip but we usually go south. Can everyone share good and bad experiences? We’re in be Ohio so about 7 hours away.

- We love the Jersey Shore AFTER LABOR DAY. Thousand Trails has 2 nice parks just minutes from the quaint beach towns of Sea Isle City and Avalon. If you don't mind crowds and traffic, be sure to reserve ahead of time for the prime season. After a few weeks on the Jersey Shore, we head down to Cape May and take the ferry to Cape Henlopen SP in DE which is among the nicest beaches you'll find anywhere. Rehobeth DE is a beachey touristy town with fun shops and places to eat. Whippoorwill CG near Ocean City discounts their rates after Labor Day, at least they have in the past. There are lots of campgrounds in this area. Another good one is Big Timber. Sea Isle City has a nice boardwalk and allows bikes on their boardwalk at certain times of the year, Wildwood allows dogs on the beach after Oct 1. It's cooler and fewer mosquitos in late Sept/Oct.
- I'd do Delaware or Maryland ocean beaches before Jersey. At least there are campgrounds close to the beach in those states.
- We used to go to the Jersey Shore every Year.... It is WAY OVERPRICED....
Go a bit further south into Delaware, there are a bunch of beach front, beach close campgrounds all over DE and Ocean City MD... - Since no one seems to be suggesting much, How about just a little bit south?
Assateague State Park in Maryland or Assateague Island National Seashore right next to it?
