    Cool spot!
    Rita L.

    Happy #thankyouthursday! so glad Friday is almost here! Posting a review from a while back. This is one of my favorite campsites with a really nice beach! It's a great spot for camping! Not too far in Long Island and a 5-10 minute walk will take you to the beach nearby. There's a parking area right by as well so you can just walk down the ramp when you get there. I recommend coming when it's warmer! The campsite bathrooms are really clean (I see people cleaning pretty often, in the morning and every few hours). They block every other stall to keep the social distancing rule. I've camped here 5-6 times already over the years, 2x this year alone back in September. It's already a bit cold that time, the wind gets crazy at night so wear or bring something warm with you just in case! This is definitely one of the better campsites I've been to. Lewin farm is also close by, like 10 minutes away (driving) so you can do some fruit picking when it's the right season. I looked at some other reviews and the noise level does depend on who's camping there that night, I've had times when I heard groups partying past midnight and also quiet nights. Remember to reserve a site ahead of time! There's a minimum of 2 nights stay. Weekends will likely be louder and more crowded than camping on weekdays.

    Didn't care for the beach at all - very crowded and not following any "rules" However, really enjoyed the trails!! Peaceful and challenging elevation if you take those paths. Easy to social distance on them, many options of staying on main trails or going off that to side trails. Good for mountain biking, hiking and lots of bbq/picnic areas. 10 people max and 10 tables apart for picnic area. You can easily do a 2 mile or a 10 mile with twists and turns :)

    I don't tend to go camping on Long Island, but was pleasantly surprised by Wildwood. Went with a group of friends- the campsites are a bit on top of each other, but I appreciate that you have a "woodsy" feel inside the camp ground but are also a few minute walk from the beach and ocean. a fun family-friendly place to check out for a little get away without traveling!

    It's a pretty decent place to camp. It's cheap and the space is MASSIVE. A ton of people here over July 4th weekend, but it did feel like we had enough space. the only downside is that you can hear everything and everyone. We tried sleeping at 12 am and the group next to us was so loud that we really didn't get to sleep until 2am. I would feel bad, but we ended up waking up at 5am to watch the sunrise and we were quite loud so.....payback? The bathrooms weren't the best, but you could deal with it for just a few nights. They kept running out of toilet paper so bring your own just in case. Easy to rent the metal fire pit and buy firewood at the store. I don't recommend having the coffee at the store - it is awful and most likely Folgers. Don't waste your money. Beach was also nice, but quite rocky. For a relatively cheap camping trip, this is a great destination.

    This could have been 5 stars if they allowed dogs at the campground. The grounds were clean and well maintained. There was a general store that even served breakfast. The rv sites are nice, full hookup. We setup on a tent site with no hookups, more room than most rv sites. Could have fit 3 campers on the site. Walk to the water was nice, and the concession at the shore had something for everyone (including adult beverages). The kids enjoyed the playground and there was plenty of things to do just outside the campground.

    Absolutely amazing park on the north shore of Long Island! All my life living here I've only recently discovered this fabulous park. They charge $10 for parking which is reasonable. This place is awesome for kids and families. There are tons of picnic tables for a family bbq or picnic, a playground for kids and a breathtaking beach with amazing views of the Long Island Sound! I am in love with this place. They also have two convenient concession stands where they sell snacks and beverages. I have no complaints about this place. Easy drive, clean park, amazing beach!

    This was our second time camping at Wildwood and we were very disappointed second time around. There was nobody patrolling the park. Folks were playing loud music, children literally yelling, drunk campers walking and talking super loud on their way to the restrooms, etc. I'm no party pooper, trust me but I try to be respectful and considerate of those around me. If it were 3pm I would be a bit more understanding but at 3am it's a whole different story. Do your thing but do it quietly. It's that simple people. We stayed on site E36. It's all sandy and mostly shade. The park/beach itself is beautiful but slowly it's going downhill. I gave it a three star because of the new bathrooms/showers but even that was disgusting. People took showers and left their garbage behind for the next person to deal with. Other folks were brushing their teeth in the sinks that are meant to wash your dishes. Come on people!!! There's a camp store where you can purchase coffee ($2.15), breakfast, snacks, fire container ($8 per day plus a $20 deposit), and fire wood ($7 a bundle). They have also started offering nightly entertainment and are currently building cottages. All in all, I guess it's okay but with so many State parks that offer camping I'm not sure I'll be returning.

    Notice the speaker on top of the car.  Pic doesn't do it justice.  My boy comes correct with the boomin beats when he camps.

    Just got back from the most amazing camping experience I have ever had! If you live in NYC/LI and you want to go party in the woods, this is the place to be! Here are some of the things you can do here: - put a massive speaker on the roof of your car to blast music for several hours (make sure it's large enough that it can be heard about half mile away by all the other campers) - cram about a dozen people and multiple tents onto your campsite so your whole crew can drive up and party with you - stay up to 3 a.m. singing karaoke and screaming randomly or just blasting music - run your truck headlights into the wee hours of the morning for light while you are partying so you don't have to bring a lantern - run a generator randomly day or night to charge all of your electronic devices - drive through camp roads in the middle of the night - drive through the camp roads at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday morning blowing your horn as a wake up call for each and every camper - take a shortcut to the bathroom by walking right through your neighbors' camp sites even in the middle of the night - piss and shit all over the bathroom so that it's so bad that people will walk to the beach to use the bathroom I don't usually write reviews for Yelp but I was so impressed with this place that I just had to share. These are all things you can literally do here - not making this up. This place has NO RULES and many of the campers have LITTLE TO NO ETIQUETTE. It's AMAZING.

    If you have small children and like to sleep DO NOT camp here! There is zero supervision when the office closes at 9. You have to call park police with complaints. When you do complain they tell you "we are understaffed." We had children playing hide and seek at 12:30am in our site. They tripped over our tent post. The party never ends! Loud music till wee hours of the morning, 10+ people in a site! Forget all the rules you read on the website... they aren't enforced (with the exception on fire pits). No alcohol is a joke! They even sell it at the camp store! The bathrooms are filthy! I don't believe they were cleaned all weekend! Blood toilet paper in shower! One shower facility had no hot water by Sunday morning! We will NEVER return! Trashy people with no respect for others!

    When you talk about easy riding, then you're talking about this paved scenic trail. As you ride,…read moreyou go through pines, fields, over RR tracks and and other features that keep it interesting. Not much elevation or tricky hills making it perfect for young riders. People usually will bike/ hike both ways so watch for oncoming people traffic. There are restroom facilities at the start and plenty of parking. Also around the trail, particularly around the corners are benches to rest at if you need a break. Of course watch out for kiddos on E-scooters and bikes, they don't always signal coming from behind you but then again neither do adults, so just be aware. There is also access on River Rd. which is located south of Rte 25 if you find the parking lot is not your thing. There are also pickleball courts, small playground and ball fields as of 2024 Also an ice rink. It's actually quite set up nice and no fee for parking. A great way to spend an afternoon.

    This park has an 8 mile bike/walk trail that is a loop. It's mostly flat and the eastern section…read moregoes through a very cool pine forest. You can rent bikes here and the trail has maybe one street crossing, so the odds on getting run down by a texting motorist are slim to none. The trail takes about 1 - 1,5 hours biking. It has some shade and some very quiet spots as well.
