The cost is $3 for adults and $2 for children. You can hail Wildwood Beach Taxi’s which will take you from the boardwalk to the beach and back from 10:00 a.m. One downside of Wildwood is that it is a FAR distance from the boardwalk to the water which wouldn’t be good if you had to carry young kids and your beach supplies. If you prefer, there were many private lots by the beach. ![]() ![]() We didn’t want to pay for parking at the beach, so we dropped our family and beach supplies off near the boardwalk and then found free parking about 5 blocks away. Morey’s is a 6 block beachfront amusement park featuring over 100 + rides and a water park. The kids loved the boardwalk and the rides at Morey’s Piers and Beachfront Water Parks. This is a free beach with no entrance fee. The other beach we went to was the Wildwoods Beach in Wildwood, NJ also just a 10 minute drive from the Seashore Resort. We would like to try that next time we go. I was told that if you go to the end of the beach, there is an inlet that is calmer and better for kids. The waves also crash really hard making it less than ideal for young kids. A few years ago, they did some dredging along the shoreline, and there is a quick drop off when you get into the water. There is metered parking along the street. The current price is $6/day, $12 (for 3 consecutive days), or $18 for the week. At the Cape May beach you’ll need a beach tag for all members 12 years and older which can be purchased at entrances to the beach. The Cape May Beach is very clean and is near historic Cape May. There are several beaches within 10 minutes from the Seashore Resorts. So, you see lots of golf carts and kids riding their bikes. There are golf carts for rent to get around the property. During the season there are many kid friendly programmed activities (like Bingo night), so there is plenty to keep families busy just at the campgrounds. We didn’t have any problems with noise in the evenings, but we went at the end of August when the resort was only half full. The Seashore Resort has an art colony feel, as many of the semi-permanent residents decorate their RV’s or mobile homes in a kitschy fashion. By the time we returned back, the pool or lake was closed (around 6:30 p.m.) However, in the early morning and evenings we enjoyed walking around. We didn’t spend that much time at the resort as we were at the ocean most of the day. Immediately outside of the Seashore Campsite & RV Resort is a fresh vegetable/fruit stand as well as an ice cream store. It was easy to get groceries as there were many places within 10 minutes of the campgrounds. If camping, you’ll need quarters for the showers. The campground has Wi-Fi so it is easy to stay connected. There is a camp store with camping essentials and souvenirs, a mini-golf course, an arcade, and a place for the kids to do crafts. For those not wanting to miss a workout, there is a small workout gym. There was also a separate swimming pool with a small snack shack nearby. The lake looked like it had a lot of algae in it, but the kids had fun. There is a man-made lake with a sandy beach and a water slide. The facilities were clean, and the roads are flat and paved so bike riding is easy. There are lots of trees and shade on the property. If you don’t want to sleep in a tent, you can rent an air-conditioned modern cabin with a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, living room, bathroom, and flat screen television starting at about $135/night. Considering the cost of a hotel or a B&B in Cape May or beach resort though, the Seashore Resorts felt like a bargain. A state park will only run about $25 to $35 a night. A basic no water, no electric campsite for 2 adults and 2 children is currently $65 a night with an additional $8 per child up to 6 max individuals per site. In the end, we chose to go to Cape May, New Jersey to the Seashore Campsites & RV Resort which is located 4 miles from historic Cape May’s beautiful Victorian homes and a 10 minute drive to two Atlantic Ocean beaches.Ĭompared to an average state park, this campground was expensive. I focused my research on places that were within several hours of the DC Metro area, primarily Virginia Beach, Ocean City, Rehoboth, Bethany Beach and Cape May. After visiting and/or a conducting an Internet search, I found a wonderful way to combine my love of camping with my love for the beach. We would save money by eating some meals at the campsite, instead of always eating out, and the campground fees would be less expensive than renting a beach home or a hotel room. I decided that camping near the ocean would be a more affordable way to get away. However, an ocean beach vacation can get costly. Summer wouldn’t be complete for many families without a trip to the ocean to enjoy the surf and sand.
