Atlantic Shore Pines Campground

The Great Outdoors

Eager birders may want to take their Tuckerton camper rental for a visit to Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, where 47,000 acres of coastal habitat make up one of the most buzzing Atlantic Flyways for migratory birds. For your bird watching pleasure, plan to travel around December through February and book an RV rental near Atlantic Shore Pines Campground to see hundreds and even thousands of Atlantic brant and black ducks that make the refuge their seasonal home. Other cold-weather appearances include bald eagles, short-eared owls, and horned grebes. Come summer, birds are joined by turtles sunning in the freshwater ponds and fiddler crabs scampering about in low tide.On the other hand, avid hikers who want to get "back to nature" should take their campervan rental from Tuckerton and set their sights on the aptly named Batona Trail, which winds for 50 miles through vast tracks of New Jersey's Pinelands National Reserve. Major roads intersect the trail, so you have an option to hike it in segments. Keep a close eye on pitcher plants, blueberries, and deer that are found along the trail. Venture into the Apple Pie Hill Forestry Lookout Tower, and you'll get commanding views of Atlantic City and Philadelphia.For an invigorating time on the water, dip your paddle into the meandering waters of South Jersey's Pine Barrens. This is an obstacle course of sharp turns, diverging channels, and trees leaning across the river that you go beneath in a paddling version of the "Limbo." Get away from the crowds on the remote Batsto River, take in the savanna marshes of the Mullica River, and test your paddling mettle at the Oswego River where experienced kayakers are rewarded with its stunning beauty.
