Campground Review – Pine Haven Camping Resort, Ocean View NJ
When visiting the Southern New Jersey Shore – one of your premier camping destinations is Pine Haven Camping Resort in Ocean View. Pine Haven is located midway between Wildwood and Ocean City. They are closest to Sea Isle City and Stone Harbour.
Pine Haven has 629 sites. Most are seasonal so call to see if they have transient sites available. They offer a large pool, camp store, a large swimming lake, mini golf, a snack shop, scheduled activities and a large game room.
I personally spent many summers at Pine Haven with my family as a child and have since had the opportunity to take my wife and children there as well.
It is an older campground and since most of the sites are now seasonal – they have not updated their restrooms and shower facilities. Most of their guests have their own RV facilities. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Just Camp On rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

Recommended Website – Camping World
The leader in camping supplies and RV sales is Camping World. They buy in such great quantity that they have the ability to offer low prices on camping supplies. This does not mean that you will always get the best deal on merchandise – so be sure to shop around. But when you can’t find it anywhere else – Camping World will have it!
Campground Review – KOA Elizabethtown/Hershey
The KOA in Elizabethtown PA (near Hershey) is a small but clean and well kept campground. They have great shower facilities and campsites that are roomy and shaded. They have a nice, but not great outdoor pool.
The staff tends to be very rigid. They have a lot of rules and they spend time enforcing them. This is the only campground that I have been to that actually came to your site on the day of your checkout (before checkout time) to make sure you were leaving! I understand rules and enforcement for the enjoyment of all campers, but there was a sense of ‘walking on eggshells’ at this KOA.

Association Review – Good Sam Club
Good Sam Club is an RV camping association. The benefits of joining Good Sam include discounts at participating campgrounds (most campgrounds honor this discount) and a free subscription to ‘Highways’ magazine. They also offer you discounts on insurance and emergency roadside assistance. The Good Sam website offers an abundance of good information.
The reality is that the discount you receive at a campground from Good Sam is the same as an AAA member, Senior Citizen, or practically any other discount you can think of. Otherwise Good Sam is just trying to get you to sign up for one of their other services. I have found that Good Sam follows through on what they say they will do, but all in all, I cannot find any real benefit to joining.
Perhaps you disagree and have found a Good Sam membership to be of great value – if so, please comment and let us know!
Campground Review – KOA Mystic, Conn.
The KOA in Mystic Connecticut provides a great camping experience. It is easily accessible and has plenty of recreational room. You don’t feel like they are trying to pack as many campers as possible onto their acreage. They have great facilities and offer a nice store, jumping pillow for the kids and many activities like evening movies. Their pool was very nice and I think they were updating it. Looking at their website, I believe they have new pool facilities.
They have a nice RV parts store associated with the Campground at the entrance to the park. This actually came in very handy for myself when I was camping there as I had a problem with my water heater. The store was well stocked and the staff was very knowledgeable.
The park is very convenient to all of the Mystic sights.

Recommended Website for Gear – REI
REI is a leader in camping equipment and gear. They specialize in gear you need for “roughing it”. They have any and all resources necessary to get into the wilderness and thrive. They have high quality merchandise, but they usually have great deals with things on sale and with clearance items. Check out their website:
Campground Review – Pettecote Junction Campground, PA Grand Canyon
Pettecote Junction Campground is in Tioga County near Wellsobor, PA. This campground has an ideal and picturesque location right on the Pine Creek and along side the Rails to Trails (Pine Creek Trail).
The Campground is spacious and well kept. There is no pool, but with the Creek so accessible, there is no need for one. The store is small but has essentials. A playground and firewood are available. Restrooms are well cared for.
The owner can be a little stickler for the rules and a little short fused. I have personally witnessed a couple run ins. The showers in the restrooms require quarters for operation. This is due to them being located right along the trail and they have had many non campers stop by and refresh themselves with the showers – so now everyone has to pay extra.
The little town of Cedar Run is right there. When we say little, we mean a dozen houses or so. But, there is a great little Ice Cream Shop there that survives off of the campground I am sure.
