Get Back to Nature in the Heart of the Pine Barrens


Wading Pines Camping Resort is where families, couples, and friends reconnect with the outdoors. Our 284 wooded campsites and 16 rustic cabins sit along the scenic Wading River — a quiet retreat where you can trade screens for sunshine and wake to the sound of rustling pines.

Located about an hour from Atlantic City and surrounded by Wharton State Forest, Franklin Parker Preserve, and Brendan T. Byrne State Forest, this is South Jersey’s natural playground.
