Wildwood, NJ campgrounds

We like Seashore Campsites near Cold Springs, closer to Cape May but a short drive to Wildwood

Holly Shores

Clicky

Big Timber Lake is nice. This year we are going to Beachcomber, which is 4 miles from Wildwood.

We have stayed at Big Timberlake on many occasions, it is nice, was looking for something a little closer to Wildwood, less driving for the race.

What's your favorite campground nearest to Wildwood, NJ and why. Looking to stay near by for the Wildwood Half Marathon.

If I was you, and since you live only 90 minutes from Wildwood, I would make a day trip and go check out the campgrounds in the area. Most of the campgrounds are on the same road.
Take the day, go to the beach, visit the campgrounds, have lunch in Cape May, and go back home.......Great Day !! :)

You forgot lunch at the Ugly Mug! lol,

x2 for the Seashore Campground. Lots of amenities, clean, lake and pool swimming, and friendly staff. Highly recommend it! The link is here

We are at Beachcomber now. Yes, the roads and some spots are somewhat tight, but we have a 31' class c with a toad and we got in no trouble. Sites in the back section are absolutely huge. And this place is awesome. Super clean and friendly. Beach/playground area is great. Their website doesn't do it justice. And only minutes from Cape May, Wildwood, and Sunset Beach.

Are any campgrounds close enough to the beach to bike to them? We have 2 toddlers in a bike trailer, so I'd prefer to avoid major roadways. We are thinking of hitting the old Jersey Shore this fall to see what its all about.

I wouldn't recommend riding bikes with 2 toddlers out to the beach. Wildwood is a couple miles of highway across the marsh to get to the beach on the barrier island. Even going to Cape May from the campgrounds, it's a long ride to a bicycle, with narrow roads and lots of traffic.
