Wharton State Forest offers multiple campgrounds including Atsion Family Camp with spacious sites featuring fire rings and picnic tables, located about 20 miles southeast of Burlington in the Pine Barrens.

The sandy terrain can create challenging conditions after rainfall, and cell service is spotty in the area, though water access to rivers like the Batsto provides excellent kayaking opportunities directly from some campsites.

Advance reservations are essential during peak season (April-October), and campers should be prepared for basic amenities with no electric hookups at most family sites.
