While most people associate Christmas with snowy mornings, hot cocoa, and twinkling lights in December, at Sea Pirate Campground, we believe the magic of the holidays should be celebrated year-round—even under the summer sun. Welcome to Christmas in July, one of the most exciting and whimsical weekends of the season at one of the best campgrounds in New Jersey and the entire East Coast.
Whether you’re a longtime camper, a first-time visitor, or a family looking to build memories that last a lifetime, Christmas in July at Sea Pirate Campground is packed with festive fun, family bonding, and that warm holiday spirit (with a splash of poolside joy).
Why Sea Pirate Campground?
Nestled just minutes from Long Beach Island (LBI) and surrounded by the natural beauty of New Jersey’s coastline, Sea Pirate Campground is not your average campground. We’re a glamping-friendly, pet-loving, and family-focused destination designed for comfort, adventure, and togetherness.
What sets us apart?
- Captain Cottages: Fully equipped glamping units perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends.
- Massive Jumping Pillow: A hit with kids (and adults who still feel like kids).
- Sparkling Swimming Pool: Relax or splash the day away.
- Crafts, Canoe Races & More: A packed calendar of engaging activities.
- Hayrides with Kiwi the Mascot: The highlight of every child’s trip.
