Community type: An RV park or resort that welcomes tiny homes on wheels and park models on long-term or seasonal sites.

Beachcomber Camping Resort is a family-oriented Cape May County campground on more than 50 acres with spring-fed lakes, multiple pool complexes, and a dense seasonal neighborhood of park models and travel trailers—a shore home-away-from-home minutes from historic Cape May. The operator segments long-term seasonal sites into Commodore's, Captain's, and Admiral's quarters with tiered electric service, while transient guests, long-stay trials, and resale inventory share the same lake-and-pavilion amenity core.
