Creekside Orchard

22mi from Elk Neck Campground · 4 sites · Tents, RVs · Street, MD

Welcome to creek-side camping on our picturesque 16 acre farm! Here are a few ground rules to help with your stay -PLEASE READ SO NONE OF THIS IS A SURPRISE-: -Dogs are permitted if they are friendly and are trained well enough to listen and stay at your site. Again, they must stay at your site unless walking with you on a leash. If your dog inflicts damage to the sites (digging holes, chewing up piles of sticks, chewing up toys to bits etc. please clean up after your dogs. We will provide shovels, rakes if you need!) - OVERLANDERS: You can bring your overland camper if you want, but you must park your vehicle in the parking spot across from your site at sites 1-3. It is a safety issue to block the entryway/exit lane. Site 4 is large enough to accommodate your vehicle and these rules do not apply there. -This is a place for relaxation and reflection by the creek. No loud groups, or partying allowed. If your neighbor can hear your music it is too loud. If your host can hear it, you will be asked to turn it down or off all together. -This is a pack it in, pack it out site. This includes food waste, dog waste, and any garbage produced. Please respect that :) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BURN ANY WASTE IN THE FIRE RING BEFORE CHECKING OUT. -There is NO FISHING, kayaking or boating. Go for a swim and float, no prob! But please float in the vicinity of your camp, so as not to disturb other campers. - Please do not invite visitors to your campsite. This is an insurance issue, no exceptions. If you want friends and family to experience our beautiful spot, please have them sign up and book a site, wouldn't that be more fun anyway!? People coming to our land who are not booked at a site will immediately be shown off the property. -Due to virtually every booking asking for earlier arrival and later departure times, we are strictly adhering to the posted check in and check out times. You can enjoy the following on our sites: - Free, unlimited wood for your campfires. Each site comes with a fire ring. - Seating arrangements (picnic table, wrought iron loungers and chairs and wood benches). - Charming outhouse situated over a septic certified holding tank with toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

Countryside Horse Farm

30mi from Elk Neck Campground · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Salem, NJ

Our horse farm is located in one of the most rural areas of Southern New Jersey. This land was once occupied by The Lanape Tribe. The adjacent creek was named after Chief Alloway. Artifacts of Native Americans have been found alongside this brackish water creek. This farm was for many years a dairy farm which was passed on for 3 generations until the late 80's. Our main horse breeds are 5 Arabians followed by 2 Thoroughbreds and 2 miniature ponies. In addition to horses you will see free range rabbits, chickens and beautiful cows. There are many antique shops in this area which tell the rich History of Southern NJ. Cowen mall and Royal Port are my two favorites. Another must see experience (at least once) in the area is The Cowtown Rodeo, one of the first and oldest in the country, only 14 minutes drive. Cool and brand new Brewery opening up soon right across the rd from Cowtown and right next to The best Cowboy outfitter. https://maps.app.goo.gl/TbK3TfJUDk9Tuziv9 Hope you enjoy visiting our forgotten part of NJ and make great memories!

Gorgeous Park

Gorgeous park. Private, quiet. The only downside is that the sites are pretty close together and all on concrete. We love being on the grass with our tent but were told that it would kill the grass, which makes sense, but that's the only downside.

I camped here back in September of 2015. The hiking is exceptional and the park could be explored for days, however the camping area is very cramped, loud and full of traffic. It seemed people never stopped driving around the tiny camp roads. I have camped in state parks before in PA, NJ, NY and VT but this state park had sites literally up against the neighboring site. Go for the beautiful scenery and hiking but camp elsewhere unless you want a festival atmosphere.

Just got back from camping at Elk Neck a few days ago. Overall, the campsite was very nice. The sites are well kept and have fairly decent bathrooms with hot showers. My only complaint is that the sites are very close together. Luckily we had nice neighbors this weekend. There are plenty of trails around the park. Don't miss hiking to Turkey Point Lighthouse for a really great view. Since it's the middle of October, we didn't do any swimming or kayaking. If you want to get out of the park, the town of North East is only 15 minutes away. There are lots of really great places to eat local seafood around the town. All-in-all we had a really great time (did I mention that this was my first time camping) and we will definitely be back!
