RV parks near Claymont offer varied access points and hookup options throughout Delaware and neighboring states. Delaware Motel and RV Park in New Castle provides year-round electric hookups but lacks water connections and dump stations. Lums Pond State Park Campground features spacious RV sites with electric service and modern bathhouses. "The sites are big and spaced far apart. Lots of privacy," noted one visitor about Lums Pond. Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA in New Jersey provides full-service sites including 50-amp electrical service, sewer connections, and water hookups, with stone pull-through sites accommodating larger motorhomes.
Full hookup capabilities vary significantly among parks within driving distance of Claymont. Several RV campgrounds remain operational year-round, while others like Spring Gulch Resort Campground in Pennsylvania close seasonally from December through mid-March. Site leveling can present challenges at some locations, with one camper mentioning that "our spot was not level at all, we were on a strange slope tucked in on a corner." Pull-through access is available at select parks, particularly beneficial for larger rigs. Dump stations may be limited even at larger facilities, with Spring Gulch offering only two stations despite its size. Pet policies generally allow dogs with appropriate containment, and most parks provide standard amenities including showers, restrooms and trash collection.
"There was a craft show in the barn which was nice. Only two dump stations for a pretty large park. We would camp here again but not over a holiday."
"The campsites available are primitive or have water and electric and bathhouses / restrooms are located in a few spots around the park. Fire rings are at each site, but appear to get moved a lot."
"Well wooded campground with friendly staff and guests. The only minor complaint is that the camp store was sparsely supplied. B+ little gem of a campground."
"Showed up on Wednesday, and was assigned a spot in loop 700 up on a hill in the center of a ring of trailers, past a lot of full-timers. Cable does not work. No internet. 2 bars LTE on T-Mobile."
"We stayed in the small tent loop at this private, primarily RV resort. First, the good stuff: The tent loop was empty for our 5 night stay with the exception of night 1. We were at site F17."
"The onsite stores prices were very inexpensive which surprised me. Halloween decorations were the best. The playground was great my daughter really enjoyed the scavenger hunt."
"My family and I stayed at Lake In Wood for 4 days. The campground is very well maintained , and the staff is very nice."

"This is a very nice KOA, just over the Delaware River from Philly. The park is clean, quiet, full of families. The staff are friendly and welcoming."
TravelerCountry Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!
ScoutThe advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.
GuideThis campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.
GuideWe stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
RangerWe stayed just a couple nights here on our way north. The camp host was helpful before our stay and during check-in. Our site was pretty isolated from the others, so it was very quiet (no complaints here). There is a decent mix of sunny sites by the river and shady sites under the trees. The weather was perfect mid September. There wasn't anything spectacular for me, but it was a good experience and it was a nice taste of fall PA scenery. Beware that the roads are tight for a big rig. Side note, it did seem like most campers lived there.
ScoutThe campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.
ScoutAs far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
ScoutFirst time at this campground really like it a lot will be returning. The bathrooms are always clean. The grounds are always kept up. Just a really nice place to stay. Most of the sites have some kind of shade.
GuideMary & her crew run a great campground. Full hookup. Slow schedule during the week-camp store & pool mainly. Saturdays always have activities planned from bingo to quarter auctions, picnics & music. Each Saturday is different. Clean grounds. Nice playgrounds. Kiddie pool & nice size pool from 3-5’ deep. 2 cabins also available.
Several campgrounds within driving distance of Claymont, Delaware offer RV accommodations suited to various needs. The region features a mix of privately owned RV parks and state-managed campgrounds throughout Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. Seasonal operation varies significantly, with some facilities remaining open year-round while others close between November and March due to local weather patterns.
Fishing opportunities: Village Scene Park in Hatfield, Pennsylvania provides RV parking near local fishing spots. "We had our kayaks with us and the water wasn't but a few steps away. Some sites you are right on the waters edge," notes Janet P. about Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina in Maryland.
Recreational activities: Many campgrounds maintain recreational facilities regardless of season. "Miniature golf course could use some upkeep as there was trash strewn throughout the course. There was a pond for swimming and there were dead fish," reports one camper about Spring Gulch Resort Campground. Another visitor at Lake-In-Wood Campground mentioned, "Nice playground for the kids and a small arcade."
Water recreation: Swimming pools remain popular amenities at RV parks near Claymont. "Staff was nice but not enough staffing to keep amenities like pool open after 5 during the week," notes Beth B. about seasonal pool access.
Spacious layouts: Campers frequently mention site spacing as important. At Mays Landing Resort in New Jersey, despite some challenges, visitors appreciate certain areas: "We were at site F17. Bathrooms were cleaned multiple times each day, showers were warm."
Entertainment options: Weekend activities add value for many RVers. "The Saturday night bands are concert worthy. We have enjoyed our stay more than you ever imagined," writes Scott J. about Sun Valley Campground in Pennsylvania, where entertainment extends beyond standard amenities.
Proximity to attractions: Location relative to urban centers matters to campers. "It's located 30 miles or so northwest from 'The City of Brotherly Love,'" notes a reviewer about Village Scene Park, highlighting its accessibility to Philadelphia while maintaining a residential feel.
Site leveling challenges: Multiple rv sites near Claymont, Delaware present leveling difficulties. "Sites are very unleveled so the staff switched us to a pull thru space that was a tad bit more level but still very unleveled," reports a camper about Mays Landing Resort.
Bathroom facilities: Bathhouse quality varies widely between parks. "Upper showers were much better, no bugs and water was hotter," mentions Beth B., while another camper notes, "The bathroom was clean but needs to be updated a bit."
Long-term residents: Many parks host both transient and permanent residents. "90% of the people here are full time," observes Alan about Sun Valley Campground, while another camper at Thousand Trails Circle M mentions, "Nice indoor and outdoor pools! Cable TV isn't free, but I never use it anyway."
Activity scheduling: Family-oriented parks often organize structured activities. "Fun activities for kids and adults," reports Stacey T. about one campground, while another visitor at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park - Elmer shares, "We stayed fathers day weekend and they had a breakfast, games and crafts geared towards it."
Age-appropriate facilities: Check height requirements for recreational facilities. "The pool and splash park were great but you needed to be at least 42 inches to go on the slide or bounce house," notes a camper about Jellystone Park's water amenities.
Seasonal considerations: Family camping experiences change with seasons. "We first had a 2 point site near the river, but when it rains the sites get flooded with runoff from the campground," explains Kasey M. about Thousand Trails Circle M, indicating weather-related challenges.
Road conditions: Several RV parks have challenging internal roadways. "The roads are dirt but well maintained," reports a Jellystone Park visitor, while another notes, "The dirt/sand roads were horrible." At Mays Landing Resort, one camper cautions, "The exit is very tight to get out of and all lanes are one way so be careful if you have a big rig."
Utility limitations: Water quality issues affect some parks seasonally. "The water stank and was straight brown," reports a camper about Jellystone Park. Another RVer at Delaware Motel and RV Park notes its year-round electric hookups but absence of water connections and dump stations.
Reservation planning: Weekend occupancy rates climb significantly at most parks. "Weekend was cold but the park was pretty full," writes a visitor about Bar Harbor RV Park, suggesting that even off-season weekends see substantial bookings at popular locations.
