Not happy with all lights after 11 when tent camping. Golf carts ruin everything lights shining in my tent till about 1 in morning when driving by I’m a bare foot Piney who loves the woods just some people have no courtesy of others 2 young men came by my tent asking me if I had anything they could do for money they wanted to buy a Vapor to smoke. Made me feel uncomfortable apparently they live here and there mom works here. They asked the lady next to me for a cigarette they couldn’t be older then 14 very strange. I seen one of them as I was walking pass the swimming pool and he jog over to me asking if I knew anyone around my tent who would want to buy soda he could get them two if they paid him $3 he had a way to get the from the vending machine I ask the young man where his mom or dad was and he said they left for the week and his brother and him are alone. Strange as the other one said they live here and his mom works here. keep an eye on your children if you are that mother not a place for young men to be alone you don’t know who is out there camping

Stayed at Wading Pines for a small family Vacation The Positive : Friendly Staff Housekeeper was a stand out as she visited our site and other to make sure we had trashbags talked to kids and gave some pointers on fishing. ,Pool Relaxing , Canoeing was Fun. Bathrooms cleaned, Bounce Pillow was different for kids but they loved it. Pool Lady was pleasant and helped my Daughter with her float device ( Thank you ) Pond was Nice for kids to fish caught small ones. ( need Lilly pads removed ) The Negative: Recreation Hall needs updating , No activity during the weekdays , front Desk staff Not as friendly as Staff who drive around. Don’t Order a personal Pizza they are Raw and when I walked back up to Store the young lady Rolled her eyes and said that’s the time unless you want to burn it. Then says: Enjoy your stay here at wading pines thank you and walked away sat at a computer peeking over to see if I was leaving I left pizza and went back to my family. Quiet time at 11pm is Not quite time A lot of drinking ,yelling and marijuana smoking along Seasonal Blvd to use restrooms. Overall I say we might return Next year Kids had fun it’s a place away from everything with no WiFi so you get to really enjoy your family.

Visited this weekend 7/11 & 7/12 the Cabin area for a Birthday Party and it was quite nice. Not what I expected was surprised by how clean the cabin was for a campground. Beds could use some upgrading but you can tell they are cleaned frequently and thoroughly I lifted to check under them as I had a bad experience in a campground before with trash being left behind so I wanted to make sure my niece wasn’t sleeping on dirty bedding and it was very clean air conditioning was cleaned and the mini fridge was spectacular looked brand new. The only Down fall was the loud noise from the camping area directly across from us with heavy drinking and partying pass 11pm when it was suppose to be down time. The pool area was nice clear water and the beach area was ok we had to wash a load of clothes and the laundry area was out dated but clean. The Hall had food for the girls to snack on and bathrooms were clean girls used showers Sat morning and the housekeeper was nice to the girls asking them to give her 5 mins so she could make sure the showers were cleared of her chemicals made us feel like she cared that they were using them and they were kids not like most campgrounds who don’t care. Office staff the best smiles and friendly. I can say as outdated this campground is the staff here are Amazing warm and welcoming I would come back again.

I came to Wading pines this pass Week and it was such a different experience I had then my previous experience over pass few yrs. The campground is being updated and my Children had a blast on the big bounce they put in. The craft shack was a lot of fun for the kids it was only open on wkend by far the best Pool upkeeping I seen in yrs. The chairs were clean and around the pool was also. Water was blue and didn’t stink My husband was impressed by the bathrooms the most he came to show me pictures of the restroom and how clean they were on a Thurs and Fri I tend to not use the restrooms myself as I never had seen them clean before. That being said I went in the ladies and Sure enough you can smell the Cleanness and see they are cleaned very frequently as there are many people on Fri night. The store front and the new addition of snacks at rec hall was very convenient. Very nice guy Jessie actually helped my daughter and the cashier was so so nice. Prices are actually reasonable we seen higher at other campgrounds. The staff some old faces and some new but over all as they drove by on golf carts everyone waves and smiles makes you feel welcoming. Only con I had was a lot of drinking and loudness coming from a section called seasonal so we just stayed away from there other then using the restrooms we will be back again before season ends hoping we can catch another great experience.

camped here a while ago in a trailer with my family & we all loved it so much, many friends made, fun golf cart rides, activities to do, golf cart parades & nice pool! the bath houses are updated now & very nice looking & clean. i don’t camp here anymore as we couldn’t afford to stay unfortunately but it is a very nice place to stay at.

My family and I had an awesome time at wading pines. There are many things to do in the area to keep the kids busy. We look forward to coming back. Special thanks to Rose for helping us out with everything.

I love wading pines but their new management is very poor. One of the employees came into the bathroom while I was brushing my teeth and plunged the dirty bathroom drain while standing next to me. The water spewed into my mouth and eyes and all over my friends faces. The employee proceeded to walk away and not apologize. This is an outrage to me considering i have come here for 13 years. I was disgusted and I contracted a cough after. Do better Wading Pines.

Had a wonderful weekend next to the river and went for a 2 hour kayak trip and floated right to the our campsite. Awesome staff who took us and our kayak from campsite to the drop off point. Staff even checked up on us to make sure we got back safely! So kind and caring. Highly recommend !!

I’m surprised at all the good reviews, my personal experience wasn’t so great. Camp sites were cramped and the price was a bit high for tent camping that tight. Also, one lady specifically I wish I knew her name, she worked in the store was very rude at check in and during our whole stay, I’m a very easy going, loveable person and I continued to be nice to her regardless of her attitude but she just continued to act that way to the point where I had to ask if she was ok to make her realize how she was acting. Also, I know this can’t be helped but they should send an email or something to let people know when there’s a fire ban to the people that have booked stays in that duration, we didn’t know until we were checking in… thank God I brought my portable grill along otherwise it would’ve been disastrous.

We liked our time at Wading Pines. Our site was great and the activities for the kids were fun! They enjoyed biking around the property and we liked that we felt at ease letting them do so. Unfortunately our biggest complaint would be the extremely rude security guard at the front entrance. This was our first time here and he was the least welcoming person ever. In addition, only one woman in the front office was friendly (short blonde hair and glasses) while the others acted put off anytime we asked a question. We have been to so many happy campgrounds with friendly and welcoming staff. This would deter us from visiting in the future. It’s not how we want to be treated while on vacation.

We love Wading Pines! Just got back from our 3rd trip there, and second year for the Halloween weekend. We tent camp and loving being between the river and the pond. Everyone is so friendly, the kids love the playground and it’s just an overall relaxing campground. The only real bummer is the firewood they sell is always wet, so it takes forever to get a fire going. It kinda ruined our night because we couldn’t sit around a camp fire after a couple hours of trying. We’ll be back though!

We absolutely loved our stay. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. There is TONS to do (definitely try the catch and release pond). The cabins are small, but we’re very cozy and it just adds to the experience. Everyone was friendly and the park was extremely peaceful by around 9pm. We enjoyed it so much that we are going back next month. One of the most beautiful spots in New Jersey.

Such a beautiful campground! The scenery is amazing the little pond by the cabin we stayed in has fountains and a dock you can sit and fish on it is absolutely beautiful! We went tubing and enjoyed every minute of it. The staff are very friendly and the sites were great for tents as our other family members had tent sites and the areas were clean and spacious! The campground is kid friendly with some awesome Activities! The pool was closed ( sept 17 ) but it looked big and clean and fun! The bathrooms are clean and not too far for walking distance! There are playgrounds and basketball Courts and volley ball- there is a store with a lot of nice things and everything you need! The band was awesome we didn’t go but we heard from our cabin! and we will absolutely be coming back!
