Baker's Acres Campground, Inc. — Hotel in Little Egg Harbor Township

This was our second visit to Baker's Acres Campground. The first time was during the height of the pandemic, and the second was this past week as things are beginning to return to normal. Both visits were exemplary. We traveled as a family with two adults and two children on both occasions in a 31 foot Class C motorhome. While there are pros and cons to every camping experience, this particular campground is definitely in a class of its own. In this review, I will cover location, accessibility, staff, amenities, activities, and price.||||Locations: Baker's Acres is located in Little Egg Harbor Twp. just minutes from the NJ State Parkway making it very accessible from all points in NJ- about a two hour drive from the northernmost and about a one hour drive from the southernmost points of the state. It is about a half hour from Atlantic City, a little less than an hour from Cape May, Asbury Park, Seaside, and Point Pleasant, and about fifteen to twenty minutes from Surf City/Ship Bottom, LBI. This makes this campground a very convenient place to stay if you are looking to access the pine barrens and all points on the Jersey Shore. ||||Accessibility: While ADA accessibility in a campground largely relies on the campers themselves, public areas of the Baker's Acres Campground seemed relatively accessible for most abled and differently abled individuals. Sandy roads in the front part of the campground would be difficult for wheelchairs, however the back end of the grounds is mostly gravel roads that would be negotiable in most electric wheelchairs, golf carts, canes, and crutches. Overall, it is a doable experience for many differently abled individuals, and I give them a LOT of credit for making it as accessible as possible. |||| Staff: Staff members are everywhere! Unlike most camping facilities where campers are hard-pressed to locate anyone who works there for any reason whatsoever, Baker's Acres maintains a large staff who are always easily located and extremely helpful. ||||Amenities: Baker's Acres offers some serious amenities. There are ping pong tables, a game room, a pavilion, a HUGE salt water pool with an eight foot deep end and diving board, a gigantic playground replete with a pirate ship, swings, sand pit, playhouse, climbing structures and tons of room to run around; there is a basketball court, a bocci/cornhole area, tennis courts, and volleyball. There are also nature trails and plenty of places to walk, jog, and ride bikes. At various points throughout the grounds, there are also multiple cleverly designed photo opportunity spots including a surf setup, a marina setup, and an old timey distillery. There is a fish pond near the office, and the office itself doubles as a general store stocking everything from grocery basics to pool and camping necessities.||||Activities: Saturdays are busy days! There are movie nights, fish fries, crafts, hayrides, and myriad other planned activities.||||Price: Baker's Acres is a moderately priced campground in comparison to NJ sites in general, but for the Jersey Shore? They are rock bottom reasonable. For the location and what they provide, you will not find more value for your dollar. A week at Baker's is less than a NIGHT at an LBI hotel, and seasonal rates are lower than a WEEK long house rental on any local beach. Different sites list for different prices. We stayed on a full sewer and 30 amp electric site for eight days this year (ten last year) for about $600.00. You simply cannot beat the price point.||||Conclusion: If you enjoy camping in a not-so-roughing-it location, Baker's Acres is where it's at. We are currently considering seasonal accommodations, but either way, we will DEFINITELY be back next year. FIVE STARS....
