Avalon Campground

We will NEVER be coming back to Avalon campground again after this experience! We came down to celebrate my birthday, and paid $ 100 towards our stay before we arrived as per the campground rules. When we arrived, there was a campfire ban and that being one of the main reasons we booked the campground instead of a hotel room which would of been a lot more convenient (we have an 8 month old daughter) I politely asked for a refund so we could go elsewhere. I was given attitude as soon as we arrived and told no refunds. So I then asked for a discount due to the fact that we would only be using the cabin in which we rented for sleeping purposes, and was told that if the fire ban wasn’t lifted, they would refund us $ 10 (insufficient). Seeing as they tied our hands, we could only accept and continued with our weekend, making the best of it. After seeing other sites with campfires on Saturday, we decided to have one on Sunday night. As soon as we lit the fire, the owner came up and rudely told us to put the fire out. I simply asked why, and told her that we’ve seen other sites with fires, which she denied and said she was going to call the police if it wasn’t put out. Obviously we cancelled our plans for a fire. Inconsiderate and not worth the money! We’ve stayed at several campgrounds in the area and have NEVER been treated so disrespectfully until we came here. Thank you so much for ruining my birthday weekend by being rude and caring more about money than your guests. If you want a great campground, with many more amenities, and staff that actually treat their guests great, I suggest Ponderosa Campground right up the street. The cabins have fenced in porches for bugs, you don’t have to pay to take a shower like at Avalon, and above all, if there is an issue, they will go above and beyond to fix it for you. Avalon campground is overpriced and run by inconsiderate a-​holes!

We have been staying at this campground for 8 yrs now. We tried another one down the road to compare & it was a bust. Marley, her brother & the staff here, are a class act! We always get a house in the island at stone harbor for a week & then we bring our popup, throughout the rest of the summer here! Our kids feel like this is their second home! We also enjoy the little shops they have attached to their nursery garden store, right next to the campground. If you want a clean, safe & lots of things to do place for camping, this is the place to go down at the shore! We are actually coming down for July 4^th for 5 days to enjoy the holiday weekend. #BestCampgroundAtTheShore

A wonderful campground situated off of Route 9 before you reach Avalon. The facilities are clean and the staff is very pleasant. It’s a very family friendly place with plenty for the kids to do. The pool is nice and big. There is a minature golf course, basketball court, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits and a bocce court. There is also a game room. The sites are spacious and they accommodate tents and RVs.
