Wharton State Forest Campground

Wharton State Forest Campground offers multiple camping areas near Atsion Lake, including the Atsion Family Camp with 50 tent and trailer sites featuring fire rings and picnic tables, plus a recreation area beach open Memorial Day through Labor Day with lifeguard supervision.

The campground provides water access for kayaking and paddling directly from waterfront sites, with mandatory check-in at the Atsion or Batsto office and a carry-in/carry-out trash policy.

Note that sandy terrain can create challenging conditions after rainfall, and cell service is spotty in the Pine Barrens area.
