Wharton State Forest Campground

Wharton State Forest Campground offers multiple camping facilities within the largest state forest in New Jersey, with Atsion Family Camp being the primary developed campground featuring 50 tent and RV sites (up to 22 feet) with fire rings, picnic tables, flush toilets, showers, and a dump station.

The forest provides excellent access to four rivers (Batsto, Wading, Mullica, and Oswego) for boating, kayaking, canoeing, and fishing, plus a swimming area at Atsion Recreation Area with lifeguards during summer months.

Advance reservations are essential, especially for waterfront sites and summer weekends, and note that sandy terrain can create challenging conditions after rainfall.
