As a long-standing, family-owned destination, it provides a thoughtful balance of shaded campsites and modern conveniences. This park serves as a quiet retreat for those looking to explore the Jersey Shore while enjoying a more relaxed, communal atmosphere away from the bustling boardwalk crowds. The park is designed to provide a sense of escape, where the wind through the pines provides a peaceful backdrop to your coastal vacation.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the quiet community of Marmora, New Jersey, the park is conveniently located just off the Garden State Parkway. This strategic position allows for effortless travel to southern New Jersey’s coastal highlights while maintaining a secluded, wooded environment. The surrounding area features beautiful coastal wetlands and scenic driving routes that connect visitors to both quiet bay-side towns and vibrant seaside resorts. It is an excellent middle ground for those who want to visit different shore points while staying in a calm, inland setting.

For those who enjoy social activities, the game room and playground provide hours of entertainment for children and teenagers alike. Practical amenities are plentiful, featuring a comprehensive camp store for supplies, clean laundry facilities, and reliable Wi-Fi access to keep travelers connected. Each site is designed to feel like a private forest nook, complete with a picnic table and fire ring for evening gatherings.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
A short drive leads visitors to the iconic Ocean City Boardwalk, where miles of beaches and amusement piers await. For a change of pace, many guests visit the Cape May County Park & Zoo, which is widely regarded as one of the best free attractions in the state and is only minutes away. Nature enthusiasts can explore the dunes and boat ramps at Corson's Inlet State Park, offering a prime location for birdwatching, fishing, and coastal photography in a protected natural habitat.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for family RVers who want the best of both worlds: proximity to the beach and a quiet forest to return to at night. It is a fantastic choice for those who appreciate a traditional camping vibe with plenty of trees and natural shade rather than a paved parking-lot style resort. Whether you are a seasonal traveler or passing through for a week, this park caters to those who value a friendly, community-focused environment and a slower pace of life.

I was not impressed, probably won't go back. Campsites were very poorly marked, sewer pipes were uncovered and roads we extremely narrow and dangerous for large rigs.

Staff incredible. Activities really fun. Weekend sites are small and tight so plan accordingly. Neighbors friendly. People that are probably seasonal drive way too fast around the campground. Especially with all the small children.

I am a woman on sabbatical, who stayed alone in a cabin and felt safer here than any 5 star hotel room I've stayed in (even w my husband). Everything is super clean, it's quiet, and the staff is wonderful. Jaden made me an awesome cheese steak, and Donna is a kindred spirit. I feel like I've known her my entire life. It was more economical to stay here for 2 nights as opposed to a hotel, and yet, the cabin at Whippoorwill was worth its weight in gold. I'm def returning. 10/10, def recommend.

I have been coming to this campground for nearly 18 years with my children and to me and my children, it is like heaven on earth and I love everything about it! It’s very charming and peaceful place to spend time with your children. It has always been family oriented, safe, friendly and fun place to spend quality time. I am a little sad about the trees and shrubs being removed and laundry room being changed because I have so many great memories of the place the way it’s always been. The changes being made have been exceptional! The bathroom floors are luxurious, the cabins are so amazing and wow! The pool is always just heavenly! I appreciate all the changes and improvements being made and the hard work and efforts of the awesome staff I have come into contact with. The people are great and it is always a wonderful time. One time in 18 years I had an issue with my cabin not being cleaned so great. They went out of their way to accommodate me and corrected things very quickly! Great customer service! I have nothing but wonderful memories to cherish! Thanks Whipporwhil!!! 🏕️
