"This is Delaware which is flat land. The one issue with most every site are the trees. Most every site has a tree to watch out for."
"The tent sites are walk in only but parking is not very far. The site provided hand trucks and wheelbarrows for you to car your items into your site."
"It’s a close distance to Salisbury (20 mins), ocean city (20 mins) and assateague (20 mins). Also close to Delaware for someone looking to explore there."
"Each tent site is far enough away from the other that you feel spread out and private. This is definitely a place I recommend to friends and family."

"If you don’t mind wild horses joining you for dinner and trekking around your campsite at night, then this is your place!! The beach is absolutely gorgeous and so is the scenery."
TravelerThis place was very nice. Best beer selection I’ve seen at a campground. Nice little beach! Nice pool, tiki bar and great deli. One issue. The bathrooms were very dirty and not cleaned the 3 days I was there. Same soap pieces in the shower all 3 days. Same gunk stains on urinals.
RangerLots of trails to hike. Beautiful, peaceful. Some sites not level.
ScoutWhen we saw a review of this campground on Rec.gov complaining about the amount of bugs we thought they were being ridiculous, they were not. In addition to an insane amount of bugs making the experience here uniquely miserable — it is not quiet or peaceful. A (clearly quite drunk) group nearby was singing at the top of their lungs until at least 11pm when we made the decision to bail seeing as we weren’t going to be getting any sleep between being eaten alive and serenaded.
ScoutSpent one night here as we were in transit from a campground near the bottom of the Eastern Shore of Virginia to home (fortunate to get a spot that fit my camper) - spots are close together - full campground even in the middle of the week after school started- but quiet at night. Almost a mile walk to the beach - great trails for bike riding. Restrooms were clean! If you have a trailer, make sure that you input your trailer length to find a site that fits as they vary. Close to food. Staff very friendly. Tons of stuff to do - will return when we have more time. If you want the experience of driving on the beach - go for it!

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.
TravelerWe loved it. Great for a long getaway or a quick one like ours. Loved our stay. It was clean and full of fun.
ScoutWe had a nice time & plan on returning.
ScoutMy 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
GuideThe 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.
