NJ Camping Info: Atlantic Region Attractions

The Atlantic Region is rich with activities and places of interest to visit.

Starting with the Casinos, the beach the shops and of course the gourmet food in Atlantic City you won't be bored here!

You don't have to travel far from the boardwalk, however, to discover the charm of the rest of the Atlantic Region.

You can experience it during a walk among many of the 60 colonial-era shops at the Towne of Historic Smithville and the adjacent Village Green. And it's there for the tasting, in the fruits of the vine at the Renault Winery in Egg Harbor, or in the vast blueberry fields of Hammonton.

You'll notice it during a leisurely drive through the Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge, 35,000 acres of protected salt marsh in Oceanville, where you can spy on thousands of migratory birds and other wonders of nature. You'll discover it while browsing among the works at the Noyes Museum, southern New Jersey's only art museum. If the outdoors is your goal there are many fine campgrounds in the area to pitch your tent or set up your RV.

Revel in bay heritage along a beautiful waterfront in Somers Point or visit the landmark mansion of original harbormaster Richard Somers, the oldest home in all of Atlantic County, it remains a museum today. Marvel at the world's only 63-foot pachyderm with a visit to Lucy the Margate Elephant, an area historical museum. Or have your children experience their favorite nursary rhythm charactors in life size at Storybook Land.

No wonder so many people come to the Atlantic Region for New Jersey camping experiences.
