WiFi. I spoke to the office about their third party WiFi vendor and the constant connectivity issues. They told me to complain to corporate. Thanks for your help. Their WiFi vendor Fastwave whose customer service is also nonexistent. I guess they got the job as a low bid contractor. Cheap is not good and good is not cheap. read more

We just came back from a 4 day/3 night stay at this campground which was lovely. It's located on route 9 and the South Jersey beaches are a quick drive away. Nearby is a gas station, a grocery store, and a few eateries so the location was very convenient and easy to find. Prices were reasonable and the staff went above and beyond at check in to explain their policies and were readily available to assist with your needs. There is a $20 cash refundable gate pass charge at check in. We were escorted to our site (upon request). They will also lend you their beach passes for a $20 deposit + $3 per day (used or not, in your possession) which is a savings of $2 over getting them at the beach. They have a store, a few wifi spots, and a nicely equipped gym. A koi pond outside the office/store is a nice place to sit and relax. Our site was large and clean and contained a fire pit and picnic table. The soil was sand based and flat which made leveling our trailer easy. We were surprised that our site was full hookup as we were told at time of reservation and at check in moments earlier that sewer was not available. There was also a clean bath house nearby, which could use some signage. The campground had a playground and doggie area - neither of which we used, a large pool with deck, and a snack bar open selectively ajacent to the pool. The pool area had umbrellas, chairs, and loungers as well as a smaller off to side gated area for smaller swimmers. The area surrounding the pool had a small flower garden and was quite pretty. However, the pool was NOT relaxing at all, as the music blared loudly, so much so that I couldn't talk to the person beside me. And the playlist was just awful! I did ask the lifeguard to turn it down (which they did) but it was still loud and annoyed me so much that I left. The pool was open till 4 weekdays, and 7 weekends. The campground was quiet and the staff and campers alike super nice, some of the nicest we've encountered actually. Outside of the beach there wasn't much to do as the season in NJ doesn't really start till July so I regretted not booking later so we could have taken in some activities, so that was a bit of a bummer. I'd stay here again in season. If you want to stay a few times off season ask about their gas saver program. It's worth it! read more

We have stayed here for a few years. They have rules but no consequences. The "Quiet Hours" rule of 11 PM to 8 AM is a joke as is the "5 MPH" rule (watch your kids!). The last 3 years we have stayed weeks that include Columbus Day Weekend. Each year, Columbus Day Weekend Saturday night is "Party Time" at Whippoorwill C/G. Drunken "frat boys gone wild" make it impossible to sleep and the seasonal campers are afraid to complain. I have made the office aware and have called the "after hours" phone number but things do not change. I have asked the office twice to speak to the Owner ("not in") and have asked twice for a call back from the Owner (since mid October 2022) but STILL NO RETURN CALL FROM the "OWNER". We have decided (as many before and after us) that we will NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN. read more

Whippoorwill Campground is a diamond at the shore! We are a family of six with two kids and two dogs and stayed for five nights. We loved every second at this beautiful location. The sites are shaded, the campground is very quiet, the residents are friendly and the staff is very accommodating. I have never seen a cleaner, more organized campground before staying at Whippoorwill Campground. While we stayed before all the amenities were opened due to COVID-19, when fully open, it has a lot to offer. Great programs at the Roost, arcade, playground, pool, grille and dog park. In addition to the activities at the campground, it is perfectly located to various fun at the Southern Jersey Shore. In less than 20 minutes you can be at Atlantic City, Ocean City, Cape May or Wildwood. We will definitely be going back!! read more

This a very nice family friendly campground with lots to do for school age children. It is very close to Ocean City as well. The parking spots are tight but overall it's a good experience! read more

We are currently staying in the cabin and we loveeeee it. There's 4 beds,TV, fridge, toaster, microwave and ac. Very clean. And has a forest feel. The Whippoorwill family is great!!! The service has been very personable and very knowledgeable. The store has a lot of knick knacks and essentials that you may need. read more

This was a pretty good campground for our New England tour. Sites are very close together and roadways through the campground are very narrow with over hanging trees. But once you get into your site, it is nice and wooded with a pool and a few other amenities. Very good location for Atlantic City and Ocean City. read more

Clean, accessible bathrooms and just a couple miles from the OC boardwalk. The staff are friendly and helpful. The pool is open to the public but we didn't find this to be a problem. Very quiet in the daytime and at night. Overall a wonderful place to relax and crash after a long day at the beach. We will be back. read more

We have brought our 27 ft travel trailer to this camp ground twice so far this year. Once preseason and once during the season (different rate schedule), but both times rate seemed reasonable considering it is located 10 minutes from Ocean City beaches and boardwalk. Beach passes can be rented for $2.00 with a $25.00 deposit. I believe they are $5.00 at the beach. The campgrounds are beautifully maintained and friendly staff are constantly riding around picking up trash and providing grounds maintenance. There is a beautiful Olympic size pool as well as a large kiddy pool, and there are endless planned activities (we were there during Christmas in July). Our favorite RV park on the Jersey shore. read more

Cleanest and newest bathhouses around! Full service campground that really does have everything. Great camp store, pool cafe had a complete menu, live music was awesome, pool was big and beautiful, and the staff really exceeds expectations. Everyone we met was super friendly. If you can get a reservation, get one! read more

This place was great! Grounds were nicely kept and the bathhouse was the cleanest I've ever seen at a campground. The people are very nice and is located just 5 miles from OCNJ! They even deliver wood right to your campsite! The only complaint I had was that we received wet wood the first day because it had rained the day before. Other than that, this place is awesome! I'll definitely be here again. read more

Fine campground with fun strolls through the well maintained and interesting seasonal setups. Amazing Olympic size pool. Quiet and well run...a little too well run. Loc Ethel OC beach tag rentals. The turnstiles are forever broken which makes it especially fun to get out when the exit is inoperable. Can you say emergency exit? Bathrooms are clean but desperately need ventilation improvements. Manu trees are in the road edge making navigation, in a bigger rig, nerve wracking. Proximity to OC is great. Not our favorite place though. read more

The weekend after Labor Day is The Best Time to go to the shore. (And by "the shore" I mean the South Jersey Shore, of course.) Why is the weekend after Labor Day the best time to go? The weather is still (usually) warm and sunny, all the stores and attractions are still open, the ocean is still warm and the beaches still call to vacationers, but are not so crowded- and it's officially "off-season"... SO ... prices are better pretty much everywhere. All the benefits of a vacation in full summer, with a little less crowds and a lot less money. Stores are having end-of-season sales, you don't need beach tags, and you can ride bicycles on the boardwalk after 12 noon and not get in trouble. My husband is not a fan of the whole south Jersey beach thing. Summer vacation every year at Ocean City NJ with my family and grandparents was a much anticipated yearly event that my brothers and sister and I would sit up late at night discussing, weeks before the actual morning our parents woke us before dawn and loaded us into the car for the endless, impossibly long drive, (only 6 hours, but to a kid it's endless) complete with games, coloring books (and crayons that inevitably melted all over the car in the summer sun before we came home) and home made chocolate chip cookies to keep us quiet for the ride. But, the joy and magic of this part of the world is mostly lost on my husband. He will, however, in a remarkable example of sheer husbandly devotion, accompany me to the shore for the singular purpose of Making Me Happy. This year, I decided that instead of staying in one of the many fine hotels available in Ocean City, we would *finally* make use of the small pop-up camper I purchased a couple years ago. (searched everywhere for one small enough for my car to pull- bought it and parked it... and haven't touched it since.) My brave, devoted husband cautiously went along with my plan, making only a few wistful comments about hotels and amenities. I was familiar with Whippoorwill Campground; I did a drive-through a few years ago and was impressed. I called ahead and was told there would be room for us, no problem. Best of all- the very reasonable rates were significantly lower after Labor Day! The day of our departure, inevitable delays and problems cropped up, and instead of leaving bright and early we didn't get out of Dodge (or, Pittsburgh) until after 4pm. I called the campground and informed them we wouldn't be arriving until well after the office closed. The girl on the phone told me where to find all our check in materials, and said to just set up and come in the office in the morning to pay our fees. We rolled in at nearly midnight, wrestled with the camper (that is a whole 'nother story and adventure in itself) and finally got it set up. It helped a LOT that the campsites are very roomy, flat and level. The water and electric hookups were very easy to find, and each site has a picnic table. We were delighted to discover we were directly across from the restrooms and showers, which are very clean, modern and well-equipped. The next morning we checked in properly. The campground is very nicely kept, with lots of well-loved, nicely decorated seasonal campsites. There are two shower/bath houses (maybe more, not sure) a laundro-mat and a beautiful Olympic size pool. The office is inside a small convenience store that stocks camping supplies, snacks and drinks, t-shirts and hats and various knick-nacks. There's a cafe where you can get coffee and a light breakfast, and free wi-fi if you're near the office/cafe. Other wi-fi can be purchased from your site for a very small fee. ($2-3 for a day or two- I don't remember how much but it's VERY inexpensive.) The desk staff is friendly and helpful and when we arrived late at night, we found our info tacked to the bulletin board, just where they said it would be. Campers are provided a key to drive into the campsites, keeping unwanted traffic out and providing security. Marmora is only a few minutes drive from Ocean City, so while you're not ON the beach, you're not far away. We loaded the bikes on the car and made the 10 minute drive, and were on the beach and boardwalk in no time. Whippoorwill Campground is also not far from other south Jersey attractions, like Cape May, Sea Isle, and Atlantic City. Over all, I *loved* staying at Whippoorwill, so much so that even if the problems we had with the pop-up are not fixable (again, another story- another time), I'd consider tent-camping there or staying in one of their rentable cabins next time. The hubby even remarked how much he liked staying there, and how nice the place was. He even made a few comments starting with "the next time we come here, we should..." This from the guy who really Did Not want to go, but went along with my adventure out of love and being a good sport. We both LOVED this place, and would highly recommend it to anyone! read more

Do not come here if you are camping in a tent or with young children. The sites are so close together you have no space and no privacy at all. There are no sites that are truly for tents, they are really all for RV's. The pool was nice and one person in the office was nice about switching our site. read more

A very nice family owned campground, clean, safe and fun. Have been coming here seasonal for many years and still hope to be in years to come. Great place to raise the kids in the summer at the Jersey Shore. read more

Very nice campground, friendly people, lots of seasonal sites but still enough for people who want to come for the week or weekend. The grounds are clean and well kept, the lots are flat and sandy. Looks like there are lots of activities. You are just a few minutes to the beach. We are enjoying our stay this holiday weekend. read more

After four years of being "transients" we liked it so much we bought a park model and became seasonals! Location is great, right outside of Ocean City. Cool shaded sites on a hot day. Nice pool and the staff is great. Neighbors all look out for one another and feel like family. read more

Site was okay but very small and right up on your neighbors. Probably not good if your tenting. Our biggest issue was the mosquitos. I'm sure there's plenty at other campgrounds in the area, but we spent a night and my child has more than 35 bites even after deet application. Sitting on the bench in the playground I counted (swatted) three on my leg with another 10 flying around. Hotel closer to the boardwalk would have been a better idea. read more

This is a clean, safe, well-staffed campground on the Jersey Shore. While not exactly roughing it (they serve coffee and light breakfast in the morning; there's a pool and extensive store), we really enjoyed our summer visit here. read more

Was in need for some LP gas, it was around 6:30 at night and on my way north. I saw the big sign of Whippoorwill Campground and thought I give it a shot and see if they knew of someone nearby that could help me out. The owner of the campground was more than happy to accommodate me even though the campground was closed for the season. In no time I was happy on my way and my RV had a full tank of LP gas. Thank you Cindy!!! When we plan our summer vacation I'll be sure to put your park in my plans. read more
