Best Campgrounds near Seaford, DE

769 Reviews

Camping options near Seaford, Delaware range from developed state parks to family-friendly campgrounds within a 30-mile radius. Trap Pond State Park Campground, located about 15 miles southwest of Seaford, offers tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and yurts in a forested setting around Delaware's deepest natural pond. Delaware Seashore State Park Campground provides beachfront camping with full hookup sites approximately 25 miles east along the Atlantic coast. Most campgrounds in the region accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several offering cabin rentals for those seeking more comfortable accommodations.

Reservations are strongly recommended for all developed campgrounds, particularly during the summer beach season from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The region experiences mild springs and falls with humid summers when temperatures regularly exceed 85°F. Many campgrounds remain open year-round, though facilities may be limited during winter months. According to one visitor at Trap Pond State Park, "This has become one of our favorite campgrounds in DE. The sites are pretty level as are most sites. This is Delaware which is flat land." Most campgrounds feature paved or level sites due to the flat terrain characteristic of Delaware's coastal plain. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the region, though some more remote areas may have limited coverage.

State park campgrounds near Seaford provide the most amenities and receive consistently high ratings from visitors. Shaded sites are particularly valued, as noted in reviews of Trap Pond State Park, which features "a shaded campground" with sites that have "trees to watch out for." Beach access represents a major draw for campers willing to travel slightly farther from Seaford to coastal areas like Delaware Seashore State Park. Campgrounds near water tend to be more crowded and require booking well in advance. Several reviews mention the proximity to Delaware beaches as a significant advantage, with campers appreciating the ability to enjoy both forest camping and beach day trips. Mixed-use campgrounds offering a combination of tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals provide flexibility for different camping styles throughout the region.

    Redden State Forest Campground

    Secluded and improving

    8/15/2025

    Arrived after dark to find that I had the campground to myself. As noted in other reviews, turn right as you drive past the office/house and let yourself in through the closed (but unlocked) gate. Since the last review, it appears they've added 11 sites on a branch if you bear left after the gate. These sites (8-18) are level, packed gravel pads with benches, fire pit, grill, and picnic table. The restroom featured on the map is just a portalet, but there is plenty of overflow parking in that branch. Apparently you're not supposed to pull onto the gravel with your vehicle, just park parallel to the road alongside it. 

    Another note about the gravel - can't get stakes in. Plus, it's a pine forest and I didn't want to get sap on my tent so I didn't tent adjacent to the pad amidst the pine needles. I did drive around the right branch (sites 1-7) in the morning to find that they are dirt/grass sites and probably would be ideal for tenting/staking (and in case you haven't guessed, I don't have a freestanding tent). The area is densely forested with pines and is quite pleasant in that regard.

    Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort

    Pros and cons

    We have been to this campground twice. First time everything was very clean and lots to do. The last time things had slipped a little bit. Campground was definitely not as clean. The first time there was staff riding around picking up garbage and keeping things neat. Last time it seemed like it was just a bunch of teenagers flying around on golf carts not doing much. Almost all the games were broken in the arcade. Plus a lot more seasonals. The seasonals also have a lot of political flags with profanities. Not very family friendly! Pros love the pool, lake, waterslides, and proximity to cape may Cons broken equipment, kids racing golf carts all hours of the nights, lots of seasonals with over the top decorations, with flags with profanities and cleanliness slipping. We will try it again. Hopefully they were just having an off year.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park At Delaware Beaches

    Great First Camping Trip

    My family tent camped for 1 night here at site 190. Decent array of electrical hookup options. My kids had a blast in the water area with the pool and large slides. It was our first time camping and we had trouble sleeping due to groups around us having fun until 11, but overall it was a really great experience and we will be returning

    Sun Retreats Seashore Campsites & RV Resort

    Some issues

    The campsite is very nice except for a few issues not have not been addressed over the many years we have been coming here. First, the WIFI is absolutely terrible! I have complained before and it never improves. 2nd, when we checked in, we were told that there currently no cable TV. We were told to stream which was terrible as I stated above. Last, there was an older gentleman that works there as a pool attendant. He told one of the guests that vaping is not allowed in the fenced area of the swimming lake in a scolding tone and told the guest that it's against the rules and that he did not make up the rules. He then ran off to find the woman in charge of the pools(her name is Marie). She came in hot on her golf cart like Bo Luke in the Dukes of Hazzard and came over to the guest and started yelling at the guest like she committed murder. Totally uncalled for!!! She has an absolutely terrible personality and should not be working in the hospitality industry. There were a few other staff members that were very rude towards guests(including us). When I'm paying over$1000 for a week here, I expect to be treated much better. We almost felt like we were bothering the staff. We have seen Marie many times over the years and never see any behavior changes. The staff could use a good training session on hospitality and appreciation that guests come here to relax and spend a lot of money here to do so, so they are employed.

    Tuckahoe State Park Campground

    meh

    The campground is wooded and only has electric hookups available.  The sites are well spaced. The bathhouse is dated and was clean enough to use. There isn't much to do in the park but it was an ok jumping off point to visit St. Michaels. Good dump station and potable water fill.  Spigots throughout the campground.

    Strawberry Crossroads

    Good potential!

    Private.startup on a nice piece of land very close to Assateague. A little Rustic with some small cabins. RV sites are very large and located along a treeline. 30 amp power works fine but odd numbered sites have the outlet on the wrong side of the trailer. Power is for two sites. Economical but limits how you can park to how long your cord is. Very clean facilities. I think it’ll keep getting better every year.

    Beachcomber Camping Resort

    Great family location

    We’ve been staying at Beachcomber for years. Packed with activities, a clean beach, choice of two pools and two laundromats, fairly spacious sites, friendly staff and lots of areas to walk the dogs or let them play. It a gated resort which makes it incredibly safe and something that gives us piece of mind while out exploring. Lots have plenty of trees and greenery to help keep you cool and RV in the shade during those hot muggy days. All the lots have sand which can make the RV messy but it’s the Jersey coast so it’s to be expected. The only complaint I have and seemingly many others is that the speed limit in not enforced and way too many people drive through VERY quick 15mph+ Every time our kids leave to bike around and play we worry about their safety. If beachcomber could get that under control I’d rate them 5star. Prices are steep but given the amenities and overall safety within the resort we overlook the higher cost

Guide to Seaford

Camping opportunities near Seaford, Delaware center around the area's flat coastal plain terrain, situated in the western portion of Sussex County at an elevation of about 36 feet. The region's humid subtropical climate creates warm summers with temperatures often reaching 85-90°F, while spring and fall offer milder conditions for tent camping. Most campsites near Seaford maintain natural woodland settings with sandy soil that drains well after typical summer thunderstorms.

What to do

Kayaking on Tuckahoe Creek: At Tuckahoe State Park, rentals cost $10 per hour for exploring the peaceful waterways. "The Gordon's Pond trail offers beautiful salt march views with lots of birds especially first thing in the morning," notes Sarah C., who recommends early morning paddling for wildlife viewing.

Explore military history: Visit Cape Henlopen State Park to discover WWII bunkers and observation towers about 45 minutes from Seaford. "There is a wonderful observation tower built on top of one of these that affords beautiful 360 degree views and photo opportunities. There are also old observation towers, one of which you can climb to the top of," writes Lisa B.

Fishing at Indian River Inlet: The inlet at Delaware Seashore State Park offers excellent fishing opportunities with designated areas for anglers. "Lots of fishing here. There will be fishermen on the beach, and also along the inlet wall at all hours," explains a regular visitor who appreciates the consistent catches.

From the campground you can walk less than a 1/4 of a mile to get to the beach," writes Eric R. about Delaware Seashore State Park, making it ideal for day trips from your campsite near Seaford.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Delaware state parks fill quickly during peak season, with Cape Henlopen among the most competitive. "Cape Henlopen campground always seems to be booked, so I will start by saying if you're interested, book a site quickly because they do fill up fast!" advises Kaley R.
