Wharton State Forest Campground offers multiple camping facilities including Atsion Family Camp with waterfront sites on the Mullica River ideal for kayakers who can launch directly from their campsites.

The forest provides access to four rivers (Batsto, Wading, Mullica, and Oswego) for boating and fishing, with primitive campsites featuring fire rings and picnic tables, though most lack hookups and operate seasonally (peak availability April-October).

Note that sandy terrain can create challenging conditions after rainfall, and advance reservations are essential for waterfront sites during summer weekends.
