Bethany Beach Training Site

Military personnel can access this Delaware National Guard facility year-round, with full RV hookups and rental trailers available through a lottery system. The gated campground maintains 24/7 security and enforces a 15 mph speed limit throughout the grounds. Sites include electric, water, and sewer connections with good water pressure, while a separate building houses additional shower facilities that receive daily cleaning.

The facility provides free laundry services, a small playground, and a walking track around an on-site pond where canoe rentals are available. Bethany Beach sits just 2-5 minutes away by car, though parking at the beach can be challenging and expensive during peak times. Campers should plan to bring all supplies, as no purchases are available on-site and deliveries must be collected at the security gate.

Many visitors highlighted the excellent facilities with full hookups and free laundry, plus consistently helpful staff. The secure, family-friendly environment near beaches makes it popular, though availability is limited to military personnel only.

Great place for military families

We've stayed here on multiple occasions. The trailers are great and equipped with everything you need. Ours had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. Another time, we brought our own RV. Great water pressure and electric hookup. They have additional showers available in a separate building. Very clean with hot water. There's a small playground and a walking/running track. There's a pond you can use a canoe. They rent them in the office. The laundry facilities are amazing! I love to go here and return home without tons of stuff to wash (and it's free!). The facilities are very safe. The gate is operated 24/7 by a security guard. I feel very safe here with my kids even when they're playing on the road since the speed limit is 15 mph (I think). The staff here is always very friendly and helpful. There is nothing to buy once you're here and if you have something delivered they will have to meet you at the gate.

The beach and the shops are about 2-5 minute drive max. Beware, finding a parking spot at the beach is tough and not the cheapest.

It is a great town and we love it. I am grateful we have this available to us since we don't have many weekends together!

For military personnel

I called the site about making a reservation for the RV area and found out that the RV use is exclusively for military personnel. Just so others know.

My 5-star rating is because they were polite to me, it's very likely it's a nice spot, and I don't want to bring down their average score. I know the location well and it's got great access to the beach and downtown. That's why we wanted to stay there…..

A quiet spot close to the sea

This park is a great place and location. Full hook up and even free laundry. I was surprised that I was picked in the lottery and was able to start on base. The Billeting Office was very helpful. Safety was on their mind as hurricane Isaias blew through the Delaware coast. 1st hurricane i have been through. The showers were cleaned daily. Depending upon where you were parked. They had cable boxes but I couldn't get it to work (I was even a cable guy in the past). We were without power due to Isaias until Thursday morning but didn't matter cause I came to enjoy the beaches and the ocean. I just wish there was more to do on base. I recommend that you go sea fishing with the Judy V
