Beachcombers
We were finally able to make the reservations which utilized our free weekend that came with the camper. There were quite a few restrictions, so it took us a while to figure out the best time. We convinced the Mennellas to join us on this excursion. They rented a camper for the weekend from Beachcombers. It was pretty nice, a 38-foot camper with slide-outs, neat and clean. Maybe not the best location in the park, but a pretty quiet section overall.
The campground was laid out nicely and had plenty of activities. I would say that it is predominantly a seasonal campground (more than half the sites were seasonal). They had many different park models and the layout ensured that everything was pretty close to the action.
The first night was dinner followed by a hayride followed by a smoke by the fire (after the kids were put to bed).
Saturday there was a craft show/flea market from 10:00 to 2:00, both Kathy and Denise had setups for their wares. The kids went nuts on the playground and painting pumpkins for most of the morning.
Saturday afternoon we went to the Cape May Lighthouse and Sunset beach. We tried to get Maggie to go into the water, but she was extremely afraid of the waves. At Sunset Beach, the kids were searching for “Cape May Diamonds“.
Saturday evening was dinner at the Mennella’s camper. Burgers and dogs followed by s’mores by the fire. All were in bed early (including the adults)… although rumor has it that the Mennella kids didn’t stay in bed.
