Customer Reviews
King Nummy needs to update there campground/sites and put more restrictions on older campers that are permanent sites. We had to change sites three times due to size. The third site our camper electric kept shutting off and on. They brought a maintenance guy out and it was the breaker box. They had to get an emergency electrician out in order to replace the breaker. They didn’t have any other sites open to move. We were irritated it took most of our evening to get everything fixed but grateful that they handling the problem very efficiently and quickly as they could. We arrived at the campsite on a Friday at 2pm and we didn’t leave until 8pm. The campground has a rundown feel and not too much to do for kids. They have two playgrounds that are not well maintained. Two decent side pools that were clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. It’s 25 minutes from Cape May court house. 20 minutes from Wildwood so the location is good. Just wish the campsites were maintained better.
We've been returning customers for several years and noticed that the campground maintenance became worse in the past few years. The pool cleaness is questionable, the bathrooms are very outdated and occasionaly have plumbing issues. We had a huge dead tree hanging over our camp spot which made us feel not safe. It became more like RV Park with permanent residents, we were the only ones staying in a tent there. Some of the camp spots are just terrible - tiny in a heavy traffic areas and no shade. And it is A LOT of golfcart traffic in the evening, the permanent residents entertainment is to drive around for no reason. I don't think we are coming back.
DO NOT STAY HERE!!! The location appears to have many long term stays-residents. They do not seem to have any minimal standards in terms of tenants requirements for maintaining their sites and or condition of their homes/campers. A shame because there were a few tenants, very few, that had very well kept sites, groomed flower beds and grounds, well maintained homes/campers that were next to run down, neglected homes/campers. Several campers looked abandoned, stacked full with furnishing and surrounded by 2 ft tall weeds. My site was not level and the circuit breaker tripped 3 times during the night with only my A/C and fridge running which made for a poor nights sleep. I reported it before leaving. The lady seemed sincerely apologetic but made no offer to discount a future stay or any compensation. I expressed that I had stayed at another location the last time I was in the area and will go back to that one in the future.
We stayed in one of the cabin rentals over Memorial Day weekend. Overall, it met our basic needs: lights/outlet, AC, and mini fridge in our cabin (even a TV and our own water spigot which was unexpected). However we were disappointed in the lack of maintenance in the campground. At our cabin site we couldn’t use the picnic table/fire pit due to 2 foot tall weeds covering the entire area. This was consistent throughout the entire campground. There is also no where to park your car and also use your cabin site area (no cars are allowed to park along the road), so we literally had to back our car right up to the fire pit to get it off of the road. Had we stayed here before memorial weekend I would have been more understanding, however, we were expecting better upkeep to have begun for the summer season.Our late check in and checkout was extremely convenient and the office even called us before they closed for the day before we arrived to let us know where to find our check in packet.The bathrooms were rather atrocious. Underwear/socks/clothing tags on the ground, numerous toilets unusable, and the shower stalls were filled with hair clumps, razors, abandoned washcloths etc. hand drier in women’s rooms not working, and no paper towels. Only 2 of the 4 soaps dispensers in women’s room worked. Only 1 of 4 soaps dispensers in men’s room worked.We noticed that this is a campground that 90% of the sites are permanent residences. Think “hard sided camper with a single wide trailer park trailer shimmied up next to it.” A lot of gardens and decks built onto peoples campers. 90% of campground guests were smoking cigarettes as well. The “resident” children from about age 4+ ran around and rode their bikes around without adult supervision. (Wasn’t an issue for us, just want to give others an idea of the type of campground this is).
I used to have a trailer in the Lenape section my sister is still there. The gates never work there’s been a rash of robberies and nothing has been done and it sucks because they built the family back there. They were at my sister’s wedding all the people back there around for holidays. You just can’t pick up and leave family. They know that so they say screw you keep raising prices and do a little more to make your time there enjoyable. Glad I got out
