I am a woman on sabbatical, who stayed alone in a cabin and felt safer here than any 5 star hotel room I've stayed in (even w my husband). Everything is super clean, it's quiet, and the staff is wonderful. Jaden made me an awesome cheese steak, and Donna is a kindred spirit. I feel like I've known her my entire life. It was more economical to stay here for 2 nights as opposed to a hotel, and yet,...

It was more economical to stay here for 2 nights as opposed to a hotel, and yet, the cabin at Whippoorwill was worth its weight in gold. I'm def returning. 10/10, def recommend.

I have been coming to this campground for nearly 18 years with my children and to me and my children, it is like heaven on earth and I love everything about it! It’s very charming and peaceful place to spend time with your children. It has always been family oriented, safe, friendly and fun place to spend quality time. I am a little sad about the trees and shrubs being removed and laundry room being changed because I have so many great memories of the place the way it’s always been. The changes being made have been exceptional! The bathroom floors are luxurious, the cabins are so amazing and wow! The pool is always just heavenly! I appreciate all the changes and improvements being made and the hard work and efforts of the awesome staff I have come into contact with. The people are great and it is always a wonderful time. One time in 18 years I had an issue with my cabin not being cleaned so great. They went out of their way to accommodate me and corrected things very quickly! Great customer service! I have nothing but wonderful memories to cherish! Thanks Whipporwhil!!! 🏕️

Staff incredible. Activities really fun. Weekend sites are small and tight so plan accordingly. Neighbors friendly. People that are probably seasonal drive way too fast around the campground. Especially with all the small children.

I was not impressed, probably won't go back. Campsites were very poorly marked, sewer pipes were uncovered and roads we extremely narrow and dangerous for large rigs.

Even though we paid for WiFi , it was bad! The restaurant next to the pool was never opened. Even though we like the pool and its size but it needed upkeep and cleanliness ,we also didn’t appreciate all the sand around our trailer, made it very difficult to keep clean even with both mats on the ground. I love buying magnets of the different campgrounds we stay at ,but the store didn’t have any. I... Even though we paid for WiFi , it was bad! The restaurant next to the pool was never opened.

I love buying magnets of the different campgrounds we stay at ,but the store didn’t have any. I guess the worst part of our area was the mosquitoes, they were so bad , day or night with fire going, it just didn’t matter. The lot was easy to get in, the size was large. Love the location, so many beaches nearby, enjoyed the boardwalk, and zoo.
