Do not go tubing here unless you have a paddle, absolutely horrible experience tubing which they don’t try to talk you out of. Not fun at all for the $160 spent on 4 tubes and a cooler tube.

Not fun at all for the $160 spent on 4 tubes and a cooler tube. This is a water trail for kayaks, not tubes. Don’t waste your money unless you enjoy spending every other minute pulling yourself out of thorn bushes or wrapped around the logs everywhere. Also, a lot of drunk idiots, including one dude wanting to fight because he’s peeing infront of peoples kids.

Winding River Campground is a kids and pet friendly, family owned and operated beautiful campground on the banks of the Great Egg Harbor River. Kayaking and tubing adventures are organized daily, they transport you up the river and you get to land right back at the campground. Kayaks and tubes can be rented if you don’t have your own. There’s a small beach along the river, fishing is a fun activity done at the bulkhead. The sites are very large, not crowded and your slide won’t smack your neighbors awning. Everyone comes, from massive Class A to the smallest tents. Most sites are relatively level and shaded. Highly recommend for everyone !! Large, clean pool Well stocked campground store, small arcade and pool table in the game room. Organized activities almost every weekend.

Me and my family just came back from a small 3 day camping trip staying at a cabin. the cabin was pretty clean there was a little dirt as expected from staying at a campground. the cabin was kept cold from air conditioning and it the beds were very comfy. there was what looked like a stove that was very old but it’s okay bc we love cooking on the fire. tubing is a 10/10 experience you they take yo... Me and my family just came back from a small 3 day camping trip staying at a cabin. the cabin was pretty clean there was a little dirt as expected from staying at a campground. the cabin was kept cold from air conditioning and it the beds were very comfy. there was what looked like a stove that was very old but it’s okay bc we love cooking on the fire. tubing is a 10/10 experience you they take you out in a big white van on what seemed like a 15 minute drive and you cruise down the river there is parts where you have to paddle away from sticks and parts where it’s really shallow but it’s a nature that’s what your signing up for. (I do recommend a mesh bottom if you want to bring food or your phones) also the workers there are super nice they let me and my friend play pool until it closed and they were very kind to us every time we went in the store. The bathhouses are a little older you can tell from walking in but it still works perfectly fine the showers were hot and they give you a place to change it was a great experience compared to other campgrounds. there isn’t much to do once it gets late but sitting at the lake is very peaceful and walking around and admiring the other campers is a good way to pass time. Overall i recommend this campground we had a great time

It's a beautiful campground but they desperately need new ownership. We just stayed here about a week ago with our new R-Pod RP-193 and the grounds were great, but the first night a golf cart came flying up to the campsite adjacent to us where some kids were playing and a man jumps out and starts screaming at them.

We just stayed here about a week ago with our new R-Pod RP-193 and the grounds were great, but the first night a golf cart came flying up to the campsite adjacent to us where some kids were playing and a man jumps out and starts screaming at them. We're talking about kids under 10 years old. We had no idea what was going on but the parents ran up and seemed as confused as we were. The guy was ballistic because apparently they were playing with a small kids basketball and for some reason that was offensive to him. A crowd gathered and we tried to calm him down, along with the parents who looked genuinely scared for their kids, but he screamed that he was the owner of the campground and that it was private property so if we don't like it we can leave. He was sure to include "don't expect a refund!" Eventually the parents called the police and other folks there kept him away from the family, so he cursed a bunch and then sped off. It was really the craziest camping experience I've ever had, so I'll give it that, but definitely not taking my kids back there until they get new people running it. It'd be five stars with the right owners, but I can't reward someone who thinks it's okay to treat people, much less children that way, so I gave it just one well earned star. If you go here, avoid the owner at all costs. Had no issues with anyone else there.

Owners own land at their site. 98 sites. Reasonable annual dues for maintenance, septic & water, and common areas. Swimming pool & large lake to enjoy on hot days. The natural atmosphere is superior. Great weekend or summer retreat.

Just bought a property in July 2018. This place is exactly what another reviewer said....a HIDDEN GEM. Beautiful, terrific neighbors, the perfect park for us. The lake is just breathtaking, and the pool, playground, and other amenities are all extra goodies! The board members are also terrific.
