    My husband got all cut up trying to help us not die on our "relaxing" tubing trip.

    I GOT ASSAULTED BY ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES. NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER!!! Can I give negative stars??? Only go here if you're ready to be sliced and diced by every tree branch and rock that goes up your butt. We were not informed on how to obtain the information regarding the contract that we were signing. When we returned to the campground after being assaulted by the river that they made us pay $43 each to float down, we raised our concerns and were verbally attacked and then the woman who did not properly inform us on what we were signing screamed in my face and physically assaulted me. Only come here if you're looking to leave with fresh wounds from what should have been a relaxing day; see pics below OH WAIT IT GETS BETTER!!! Our tubes deflated in the middle of the incredibly dangerous trip down the river. Y'all. Be safe. Go somewhere else.

    Pool with hot tub

    Winding River campground Exeter NH is the most friendly group of happy campers on staff! No complaints here very welcoming and been here since June! Clean, maintained family quiet getaway and they are always busy keeping on it! Never long lines at store or even restaurant!!! So efficient especially being such a large campground with so much rain. Im in a RV and luv my site until October. Any problems they r here to help. Not worried at all. Pool & hotub r maintained. Bathrooms scrubbed every morning. Well done to the awesome staff!!!!!! Highly recommend 10*****

    Cabin 60

    4 star for overnight on cabin rental but sadly, 1 or 2 on tubing trip. Cabin #60 is one of two available cabins with electric lights.It sleeps 4 and has bunk beds with a toilet but no shower. There is an AC unit and heater unit and it's pretty nice for minimal/simple avoiding rain and just unpredictable weather. On the closed in porch, there is a stove, shelving, picnic table, mini fridge, microwave, sink etc... There is a lock for the bedroom and another for the porch. Outside has a picnic table and fire pit. It parks 2 cars. It's nice for camping but if you want to avoid a tent, you'd like the cabin. Nearby and probably a one-two minute walk is the office, showers, pool, game room, etc... the other cabin is closer to this stuff, literally next door with privacy (wooded) but I'm sure there it can be noisier bc it's next to people coming and going. Each site has a trash can so you don't need to walk very far. The store and staff are VERY nice. They have firewood, food and camping essentials. Seasonal campers are very friendly if you are friendly as well. Two nights my friends and I joined them for games and it was great! They were so amazing to hear about how they stay every year. The pool doesn't have layout chairs. It's average size and was clean. I enjoyed it when it wasn't busy midweek and loved the solitude of a pool without a crowd. Tubing: Saturday even at opening in July is BUSY. We waiting over an hour at 10 am checkin and didn't hit water until about 12. You need to ask for a life vest. Do it, be safe. You probably want to buy or rent the paddle if you can. They have mini ones you can buy also. Here's the other tip: stay connected to your crew or at least bring a rope just in case. My experience was terrible but I don't blame the campground. We had an overwhelming amount of rain so the water was way high with a very strong current. I hit trees, thorn bushes, got lost from my friends, almost lost my stuff (sunglasses, visor etc..) whenever I got stuck in trees or the crazy current threw me in thorn bushes. I wound up with cuts all over and will NEVER tube or kayak there again just because the water was insane this year. It was seriously like an action movie and not in a good way. Again, not the campground's fault but for me, hell no. I look back and laugh but I lost one of my 9 lives out there, lol.

    This place is a gem. We have stayed here numerous times. It is a throwback campground. Not slot of frills, but nice, clean and friendly workers. Prices are reasonable.

    This is a nice, family run business with the opportunity to go tubing & kayaking. Sites are nice, roomy with elec & sewer provided at some. Accommodations for tents & RVs. Sites are dirt so rainy days are a bit messy. Lots of trees around so it is shady. We had 3 adjoining sites & had a great time. There are things for the kids to do as well as a swimming pool.

    We just came back from a 4 day/3 night stay at this campground which was lovely…read more 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!

    We have stayed here for a few years. They have rules but no consequences. The "Quiet Hours" rule of…read more11 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.

We loved the location, right in the middle of everything. The pool was refreshing, busier on Sunday but empty by Wednesday, make sure to bring pool floats & a chair if you are plan to stay a while (no chairs due to Covid). The Community Center with picnic & large fire pit areas looked wonderful but closed due to Covid. I was amused to see the old school playground, haven't seen or been on a seesaw in years! The Wading Pine River was nice & cool, my pup had a blast splashing around on the mini beach landing by the Treasure Island Bridge. We forgot our tubes & the store was sold out so make sure you bring them. We wondered briefly on Treasure Island, make sure to spray yourself with Repel 40 Deet beforehand. My husband had fun fishing at the catch & release pond. The gazebo on the bridge was a nice & shaded place to enjoy the fishing pond & to people watch fellow campers. It was too hot to take advantage of the basketball court, volleyball court or horseshoe pits, maybe on our next visit. We didn't use the bathrooms (we have a TT) but they looked clean & stocked. Everyone in the office/store was friendly & welcoming. The store was well stocked even at the end of a very busy Christmas in July weekend. I would highly recommend Wading Pines for all campers. Whether you have kids, pets, tents, TT, 5th Wheel or RVs. Happy Camping & Safe Travels!

Rude staff, well , when they are there. The guests are expected to babysit the campground so management can do whatever until they get a call that something is wrong. Store is quite often locked and people have to push a button and wait for someone to come, provided someone is there. So sad it could be a nice place.
