Golf Carts at Jersey Shore Campgrounds

The Jersey Shore's Ocean County campground corridor — stretching from Toms River and Brick south through Forked River, Waretown, and into Ocean View — is one of the most golf-cart-dense regions in New Jersey. Hundreds of campgrounds, RV parks, and seasonal campsites line the Route 9 corridor and the barrier islands, and at virtually every one of them, golf carts are the primary mode of in-campground transportation.

TIGON Golf Carts is the Jersey Shore's premier golf cart dealer, with locations in Bayville and Ocean View — directly serving the campground market.

The Jersey Shore Campground Golf Cart Culture

Why Campgrounds and Golf Carts Go Together

A modern campground can span 50–200 acres with hundreds of sites. Walking from your RV or camper to the pool, bathhouse, camp store, game room, and activity areas adds up to miles per day — not practical for families or older campers. Golf carts solve this problem elegantly:

• Navigate from site to any amenity in minutes
• Haul gear, firewood, groceries, and supplies
• Shuttle kids between sites and activity areas
• Explore the campground's full extent without a car
• Add to the camping atmosphere — golf carts are part of campground culture

Seasonal Campsite Ownership

Many Ocean County campgrounds sell seasonal sites — spots leased for the full season (typically May through October). Seasonal campers are among the most active golf cart buyers. Their cart lives at the campground all season, used for everything from morning coffee runs to evening entertainment.

Golf Cart Regulations at NJ Campgrounds

On private campground property, New Jersey does not require registration or special equipment. Campground rules govern cart use — typically:

• Age requirements for drivers (campground-specific)
• Speed limits within campground (usually 5–10 mph)
• Quiet hours for cart use
• Designated charging areas

For use on public roads adjacent to campgrounds (getting to a nearby store, beach access, etc.), New Jersey LSV law applies — registration, insurance, and full equipment required.
