Frank S. Farley State Marina at Atlantic City is the largest state-operated marina on the US East Coast — 640 slips behind the Golden Nugget casino, a 300-ft vessel-length cap on the megayacht outer pier, and year-round fuel and pumpout services. The marina is co-managed by the NJ Department of Environmental Protection and the casino operator under a long-term concession lease, which is why the slip-rental booking flow runs through farleystatemarina.com rather than the state parks reservation portal. Channel depth runs 12 ft at the marina basin and the USACE maintains the Absecon Inlet at 25 ft for the commercial fishing fleet. RV-relevant truth: Atlantic City municipal ordinance bans overnight RV parking citywide and casino-adjacent parking lots enforce 24-hour limits. Closest RV-friendly basecamp is Shady Pines Camping Resort in Galloway 14 miles northwest (50-amp, 45-ft cap, books 6 months ahead for July–August).
