"Cape henlopen is one of five or six Delaware state parks that offer RV camping. Sites vary in size so make sure you check the details before you book."
"My group was there, on two adjacent sites, from Sunday to Tuesday, in early June. The weather could not have been more ideal! We were on sites G12 and G13, which were both really large."
$39 - $274 / night
"Park Name-Delaware Seashore State Park
Date of Stay-June 2018
Site-237
This is one of favorite local parks!"
"The really great aspect of Delaware Seashore State Park is your close proximity to the water. The park is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian River, and Indian River Bay."
"It’s also close to the other ocean beaches. The only downsides are sites are very close together and its a very expensive about double the cost of other near by non-waterfront campgrounds."
"**
Located on Rehoboth Bay, this resort was a great place to spend a long holiday weekend. Our paved site was just a few steps to a private beach which was really nice and clean."
"Campground well maintained and relatively quiet given its peak season for Delaware beaches. Off the beaten path from beach noise but does require a 15-30 minute drive to popular beaches."
"Close proximity to the beach. Lots of family friendly activities. Full stocked camp store."
$67 / night
"I actually forgot it was in Delaware since it’s so close to where we grew up as kids in jersey!"
"A quick drive to the beaches and a gorgeous rail trail! Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming which was the biggest selling point for us."
$45 - $70 / night
"Close to the beach, state park, the outlets and a great bike path . Note, they only accept cash, but ATM is close if you forget. Worth a visit if you want a beach vacation."
"Plus we weren't that far away from the beach and water. The grandkids keep asking when we are going again."
$24 - $66 / night
"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."
$24 - $105 / night
"First time staying overnight at a campground in Delaware. The cabins are tiny on the inside but that porch really provides very useful space.
No paper towels, soap or kitchen utensils.""Delaware seemed short on camping options and this one was probably top of the line 40 years ago. It's dated in every way, but it's in a good spot.
Seemed to have some residents mixed in."
$35 / night
"We stayed here for about a week, it was inexpensive and close to all of the places we wanted to visit without being right in the middle of a tourist hotspot."
"It is a short drive to the beaches, but the rate is so much better than other campgrounds that it's worth it."
$28 / night
"Wood was cheaper then usual (5 dollars per bundle) and is located under a self serve honor system payment across from site 3."
"Travel trailers, pull behinds, motorhomes are not allowed. Tents, cars, overlander SUVs, minivans and small Class B camper vans are allowed. Nothing over 25 ft allowed."
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.
ScoutPrivate.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.
GuideWe stay here at least two times each year. Staff is so friendly and helpful. The section we stay has very clean, spacious sites.
ScoutWe’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
ScoutPositive: Our site was HUGE!!!! It was also super private with trees and a lot of privacy from the road and our neighbors. We had friends stay in the lean-tos nearby and others visit. We had room to park several cars. This would be a great site for an RV plus a few tents. The roads were all recently paved. There are 3 campgrounds here: North Shore, Miesle and CCC. CCC is the only one with electric and water hookups on site. We used our RV bathrooms most of the time and stayed 3 nights.
The Kayak and Canoe rentals were right near us. The nature center had planned activities for families each day. The swimming lake was beautiful. We biked the trails, and hiked others that didn't allow bikes. They are putting in new bathrooms at Miesle this year. If you don't mind dry docking, then stay on that side. I was happy to see that they had cans for recycling. which often campgrounds do not.
Negative:
-We were NOT happy that the bathrooms next to us were closed, apparently for years, and it was not noted. We purposely booked in 105 due to the proximity. The other bathrooms in the CCC were a good walk, and pretty run down. I was impressed that they had a laundry facility though.
-Also, there was a dip in the site when backing in and our fifth wheel was bending to the point of rubbing the top of our truck when backing in. It also had rained and there were puddles in the sand.
-Virtually NO cell service with AT&T, TMobile or Verizon. AT&T we the better of the 3. Our Winegard/Gateway give us no internet which we normally get. There'd be way too many trees for Starlink. We were able to tune into some really dorky TV stations. One was in Japanese, two were in Spanish, and got some oddball stations in English.
- The worst was the dump station. It is just a little hole on the side of the road and the ONLY dump station for the 3 campgrounds! It was very unlevel and not easy to fully dump our tanks. It was also Memorial Day weekend and the line at checkout caused us to wait 2 hours to dump!! Of course then we hit all kinds of traffic coming home.
We might be back and stay in CCC closer to the open bathrooms, but they REALLY need to do something about the dump stations.
TravelerGreat short camping trip for a quick weekend away. We stayed on the butterfly loop.
Cell service (T-Mobile) was spotty at times, bathhouses were fine, and the ranger was on patrol regularly. We felt very safe!
Wonderful park! We’ll be back!
ScoutFirst time staying overnight at a campground in Delaware. The cabins are tiny on the inside but that porch really provides very useful space.
No paper towels, soap or kitchen utensils. Everything is clean. Sandy soil and plenty of flying bugs. What is just a short walk from campground.
GuideWe stay a couple times a year and always have a good stay.
TravelerWe’ve camped here twice and have had great experiences!
The sites are spacious, the bathhouses are clean, and we really enjoy the river view.
T-Mobile service is good here.
