We recently headed down to South Jersey to spend a few days at Spacious Skies Country Oaks, a medium-sized campground in Dorothy, New Jersey. This property is part of the Spacious Skies Campgrounds collection, and it struck us as one of those rare campgrounds that hits a sweet spot: affordable rates, a relaxed vibe, and a solid list of amenities and activities.

If you’re looking for a base camp to explore the southern New Jersey coast—or if you just want a quiet escape to relax by the pool or sit around the campfire—Country Oaks is a great option.

Location: A Base Camp for South Jersey Adventures

One of the biggest draws of Country Oaks is its central location in southern New Jersey. From the campground, you can easily day trip to:

Ocean City, NJ (30 minutes): A classic Jersey Shore town with a family-friendly boardwalk and wide, sandy beaches.
Cape May, NJ (50 minutes): Known for its historic Victorian homes, lighthouse, and charming downtown.
Atlantic City, NJ (30 minutes): Whether you’re there for casinos, shopping, live music, or just a walk on the famous boardwalk, AC has something to offer.
Philadelphia, PA (1 hour): Spend a day touring Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, or grabbing a cheesesteak before heading back to camp.

But you don’t have to hit the road. Country Oaks also makes a great weekend retreat if all you want to do is relax at the campground

Spacious Skies Country Oaks:Campground Layout and Sites

Country Oaks has about 150 sites, a mix of pull-throughs and back-ins, nearly all with full hookups (30/50 amp).

Visitor sites are located near the front of the campground, close to the pool, camp store, and activities.
Seasonal sites are in the back and create a lively, friendly atmosphere. The seasonal section is well-kept and shaded, with large trees and sites that feel cozy and cared for.

There are also a handful of rustic cabins, vintage-style RV rentals, and some tent sites. If you’re camping with friends or family, there are good opportunities to group sites near each other, including options by the cabins.

Pricing: A Welcome Throwback

One of the things we appreciated most about Country Oaks is the reasonable pricing. During September, a full-hookup site ran about $65 per night—a rate that felt like a “throwback” to pre-pandemic camping prices.

This places Country Oaks in a sweet spot between:

Public campgrounds ($20–30/night, but usually no hookups or amenities)
Luxury resorts ($100+/night, with premium amenities)

At $65, you get a clean, friendly campground with a full list of amenities and activities, without breaking the bank.

Amenities and Activities

Despite its affordable rates, Country Oaks offers a solid lineup of amenities:

Camp Store: Stocked with ice cream, drinks, snacks, and RV basics.
Pool & Snack Shack: A spacious pool that’s perfect on hot summer days, with a snack shack serving pizza and other easy meals.
Bouncy Pillow: A kid favorite.
Basketball Court & Gem Mining: Great family activities.
Pavilion & Arcade: Hosting events, games, and live music on some weekends.
Dog Park: A large, fenced space for your pup to run and play.
