No where I know of in NJ or Delaware, check Island Beach State park in Jersey, if you are surffishing and in a self contained camper, you could stay overnight in patking lot, been a long time, but I am setting my gladiator up to be self contained for turkey hunting Pa.. State forests and planning to see if Island beach still allows that, but that is not what you are looking to do. North Carolina used to allow it but that would have to be looked into also....Jack

AFAIK, Cape Lookout National Seashore in NC Outer Banks is on of the only places on the east coast that allows beach camping with a vehicle. Camping is free but you need to purchase an annual beach driving permit (cost ~$25) on NPS website. The park is on two islands and there is no bridge so you need to catch a ferry from Davis, NC. Make reservations early because they can fill up fast on the weekends. The NPS site has contact info for the ferry services. It can also get pretty windy so make sure your bring the means to secure all your gear from blowing away. There are also bath houses with showers on the island as well as rental cabins with bathrooms (no electricity but wired for generator) if you don't feel like roughing it.

It is now my absolute favorite camping spot. On our last trip we had a sea turtle nest hatch near our campsite. Baby sea turtles were crawling though our camp on their way to the surf. It's also common to see dolphins playing in the waves.

You can stay on the beach here on Long Island overnight, just cant pitch a tent on the ground. RTT's are ok.
