WirelessTrips.com Campground Review: Beachcomber Camping Resort, Cape May, New Jersey
Cell Phone Coverage: Yes
WiFi: Yes
Have you ever been to a beach town and seen a motel several blocks from the beach named something like “Oceanview Inn” or “Rooms on the Dunes”?
Well, the children were disappointed to learn that a place called “Beachcomber Camping Resort” was nowhere near the beach. It was only a couple of miles away, but the streets are far too congested to ride your bike there.
Beachcomber is big, densely wooded, and very, very quiet. It’s also quite clean and has a huge playground and a big lake with a nice beach. The pool and jacuzzi were open, but it was too cold for the children to swim.
Max had fun on the playground each day and there’s a huge population of squirrels and birds there. Max had a great time chatting it up with the squirrels and birds. He kept yelling, “Hey, bird! Hey, squirrel!”…over and over again. He said that so many times yesterday morning that, had there been more people there, I bet we’d have gotten some complaints about the noise. 
There’s a small airport nearby and several small planes seemed to skim the trees on their way over the campground, much to Max’s delight. He called this campground “The Airport Stay.”
If you come here, you absolutely MUST go to one of the restaurants that advertise a view of the sunset! We went to Harpoon Henry’s (Beach Drive and Browning in North Cape May) and boy-oh-boy, did they deliver on that sunset their ad promised! It was the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen in my life. There was an entire line of their patrons standing up, snapping photos of God’s show!
I was going to give this campground four marshmallows out of five, but we’re still disappointed that the name made us think they were on the beach. The wifi connection was excellent and we had no trouble getting online.
Oh yeah, you have to feed a new quarter into the shower every five minutes or so to keep the water running…but the first minute or so of your paid shower is completely cold. I think making campers pay quarters for their shower is pretty cheap.
Three out of five marshmallows.
