GenieSummary

Beachcomber Camping Resort in Cape May, NJ is a great place to camp throughout the month of October. They have Halloween activities every weekend, contests for site decorating, and trick or treating every Saturday. For transportation, guests can bring their golf carts or bikes as the campground is flat and easily accessible. Additionally, the camp provides food trucks, car shows, and fishing spots. The campground is well-maintained and clean. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, particularly when it comes to backing into sites. The camp store is fully loaded, and there is a great beach and lake for guests to enjoy. However, some of the sites are not level, so campers will need extra blocks or wood to level their trailers. The wood provided is not seasoned, so it takes some time to get it burning. Overall, its a great place to camp, especially during the fall season.

From The Campground

Beachcomber Campground opened for business in 1975, at a time when camping was in its infancy in America. There were many campgrounds, but most were small "Mom & Pop" operations. Camping for the most part, was a rustic & rural experience for those who wanted to "get away from it all". There was no cable TV, no telephones, no microwaves, or three season screen rooms! You were lucky to have a small camper, with electricity & water available on the campsite. Beachcomber was opened as a destination campground. Cape May County was a beautiful location near the ocean & bay, within an easy driving distance of New York, North Jersey, Philadelphia, Washington DC & Delaware. Since Beachcomber was built from scratch, the developers, Tom & Claire Brodesser, toured many campgrounds in the Northeast, in order to develop the "perfect" campground, on the site of a former mining operation. The centerpiece of the campground was a 3 1/2 acre spring-fed lake. As a result of Tom & Claire fts campground tour, Pool #1, the Pavilion & the main playground were at the center of the campground, & all of the sites were constructed around the lake. Beachcomber opened in the summer of 1975, as a 295 site campground. The entire campground at that time is now the Commodore fts Quarters. Reviews were very positive & the first season was overwhelmingly successful. Tom & Claire never looked back or rested on their Laurels. Claire worked on developing repeat clientele. These repeat clientele became "seasonal" campers. It is these seasonal campers that are the backbone of Beachcomber. In the early days of Beachcomber camping was well camping. There were many small camping units, pop up campers & tents. People stayed for a week or two at a time, once or twice in the summer. In the mid-1980s, the camping business took on a dramatic change when "slide-outs" & Park Models began rolling off the manufacturer fts assembly lines. These changes turned small camping units into camping cottages & eventually into today fts second homes! Fortunately, Beachcomber was built with oversized sites, which could handle these large "homes". Current "Park Models" have double lofts, microwaves, fireplaces, flat screen TV fts with HD cable & internet. A screen room enclosure is added to most units, which results in a "small home at the shore."
