Trap Pond State Park provides cabins with picturesque pond views, where visitors can enjoy electricity, heat, air conditioning, and basic furnishings including bunk beds with a queen mattress on the bottom and a twin on top. Delaware Seashore State Park and Killens Pond State Park also offer cabin rentals with electric hookups. "The cabins are very spacious, have electric, air and heat. They also have a mini fridge and small microwave as well as tons of cube storage. There are two twin bunks in one room and a queen bed and sofa in the main room," noted a visitor about Cape Henlopen's accommodations.

Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park At Delaware Beaches and Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay represent private camping options with cabin rentals available from spring through fall. Trap Pond State Park's cabins are located in a walk-in area where wheelbarrows are provided to transport belongings from the parking area. A recent review pointed out that these cabins are "clean and spacious with AC, heat and electricity" and the "site had a fire ring, grill and picnic table."

    While cabins provide beds and basic furniture, guests typically need to bring their own linens, pillows, blankets, and toiletries. Basic cleaning supplies such as trash cans, brooms, and dustpans are often provided. Most cabins do not have running water, but centrally located water spigots are available nearby. Cooking facilities vary by location - some cabins include microwaves and mini-refrigerators while others rely on outdoor fire rings with cooking grates. The bathhouse facilities at these campgrounds are generally well-maintained and clean, with some offering individual family-style bathrooms. Firewood can be purchased at most campgrounds or from nearby stores in Milton or surrounding communities.

      Redden State Forest Campground

      Quiet primitive campsites with slight road noise. We didn’t hear any train during our stay. We stayed at site 10 on the left branch where the newer gravel tent sites are in the pines. The potalet is nearby. It’s was dark at our campsite when we arrived. Nice and level gravel pad with plenty of room - sites are large enough to pull into and k turn if needed (although we saw the sign saying to park parallel to the site entrance in the morning- we have a roof top tent on our vehicle). When I put my headlamp on there were all these tiny sparkles on the ground out among the pine trees surrounding our campsite. When I walked up really close to one and shined my lamp on it, I saw that they are pretty big spiders. A little unnerving but also pretty? Told my brain I was in a glittery fairy forest and slept fine. 🤣

      Ocean View Resort Campground

      One of the best campgrounds I have ever stayed in

      This is one of the largest, if not the largest, campgrounds in Southern New Jersey. While on the pricier side, everything is top-notch. The roads are all paved, and not gravel (I hate trying to sleep and listening to the sound of stones grating together). The sites are more spacious than most campgrounds, so it doesn't seem so crowded. The bathrooms are all modern and spotless. There are numerous bathrooms which means most sites have one nearby. They do charge a quarter for showers to encourage water conservation and donate the money to conservation causes. The pool is large, as is the lake. Both are well-maintained. The camp store is enormous and is really nice and well-stocked with everything one might need from food to pool and beach stuff to camping supplies and equipment. There is a nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The camp store has a lending library of books and DVDs. There are numerous activities that appear to be well-run, The grounds are shaded with many trees for a great wooded campground feel. The campground is so large that it has an internal shuttle with stations scattered about to help people go between the various important sites such as at the pool, the lake and the store. I found other campers, particularly the seasonals, to be more friendly than other campgrounds at the shore. This requires constant tree care including removing dead trees and branches which they do regularly. The staff is friendly and well-trained. I was in a tent, and when a rare October nor'easter came through, I was offered the opportunity to use a cabin free-of-charge. Fortunately my tent and equipment made it through days of rain and high winds just fine . On my first stay in May, I had to run my dog back to Baltimore towards the end of my trip where he was sadly diagnosed with incurable metastatic cancer. When I returned, I was late and unable to check out by 11, but they allowed me to take as much time as needed to clear the site, as nobody was staying there the next day, which was deeply appreciated - I was an emotional wreck. Oh, and I found the complimentary Wi-Fi to be a great service, and sufficiently fast to allow me to stream ultra-high-definition movies at my site - Most campgrounds charge extra for less-than-good service - a lot more. I find that a big bonus. Overall, I LOVE this campground and highly recommend it.

      Delaware Seashore State Park Campground

      Fin beach trip

      Pretty easy camping trip, plenty of room to set up camp. Level spots. We stayed on south inlet campground. They have small camp store multiple laundry and bath houses. Great stay if you enjoy fishing, as. You can fish the inlet at the campground. They have a very nice playground for kids as well! Only negative is no camp fires allowed, they do have a community area you can have a camp fires allowed. Also no wifi

      Milburn Landing Campground

      Lovely campground with shaded campsites

      Spacious sites among tall mature trees. No undergrowth to provide privacy between sites. I reserved a site online this morning, but site said "available" when I arrived, so don't count on reservation being updated same-day. Sign at Park entrance says no alcohol allowed without permit. Pets allowed.

      ⚠️ Think Twice Before Booking— Our Family Felt Targeted and Intimidated

       I am writing this review because I genuinely want to warn other families before they book this campground. What should have been a relaxing camping trip turned into an extremely upsetting experience for our family. From the beginning, we felt singled out and unwelcome. We arrived at our campsite and then went to the office. We did not know that the campground required every guest to go to the office before going to their site. This was an honest misunderstanding. Instead of simply explaining the rule and moving on, the situation became unnecessarily confrontational, and we felt like the staff was looking for reasons to have an issue with us. What was especially upsetting was how our children were treated. Our children were riding scooters and were stopped and told that scooters were not allowed. We were extremely confused because we could clearly see much younger children riding/driving around the campground. Our 14-year-old was not allowed to do so, while we observed significantly younger white children being allowed to ride. What made this even worse was the way our children were spoken to. They came running back to us scared and intimidated by the interaction. As parents, that was extremely upsetting to see. There is a huge difference between calmly explaining a campground rule to a child and speaking to a child in a way that makes them feel frightened. If there is a rule that scooters are not allowed, then the rule should be applied consistently to every child, regardless of age or background. What we witnessed did not feel consistent. As the experience continued, we felt increasingly targeted. We were left with the strong impression that they did not want our family there. At one point, it honestly felt like they were trying to find reasons to get rid of us, which made us question whether the campground had overbooked and was looking for a way to push us out. We also had a very concerning experience regarding payment. We were forced to pay in cash and were not provided with a receipt. As paying guests, we found this extremely troubling and unprofessional. The entire experience left our family feeling uncomfortable, intimidated, and unwelcome. Camping with children should be about relaxing, enjoying the outdoors, and making good memories—not having your children come running back to you because they are scared of how an adult spoke to them. I cannot speak to anyone else's intentions, but**based on what we personally experienced and witnessed, we felt that our family was being treated differently because of our background. Seeing younger white children being allowed to do something that our children were stopped from doing made the situation even more concerning.I strongly recommend that families think twice before booking this campground. If you do decide to stay, make sure you understand every rule before arriving, document your interactions, and keep proof of every payment. We are sharing this review because other families deserve to know what our experience was like before spending their money and vacation time here. No family should leave a campground feeling intimidated, targeted, or unwelcome.

      Adventures Await Retreat

      Perfect campground for our family of 4

      They have a meadery and fishing pond and everything my kids love. Been here several times great place for kids and everyone else

    Guide to Milton

    Cabin camping near Milton, Delaware offers several accommodation options within 20 miles of town. Located in Delaware's coastal plain region with elevations rarely exceeding 60 feet above sea level, the area experiences mild winters and humid summers. Many cabins remain open year-round, though availability becomes limited from Memorial Day through Labor Day when temperatures typically range from 75-90°F.

    What to do

    Kayaking at Trap Pond State Park: Paddle among stands of bald cypress trees on the 90-acre pond. The park offers canoe, kayak, and pedal boat rentals in season. "We walked around the pond and rented boats and kayaks for the day and rowed back to our site which the kids loved. They got to spend the day learning to paddle on the pond," shared a visitor to Trap Pond State Park Campground.

    Beach access at Delaware Seashore: A short walk from campsites to the ocean makes this location ideal for swimming and sunbathing. "We got a site to stay on our way through to OBX. The views of the bridge were amazing. The noise of the coast guard waking up is alarming, but neat. It was trumpets and sounded like a horse race at 7am!" notes a camper at Delaware Seashore State Park Campground.

    Military history exploration: Visit the World War II observation towers at Cape Henlopen. "As a former military installation, there are lots of military historical items and sites. Underground bunkers and batteries and such. There's a wonderful observation tower built on top of one of these that affords beautiful 360 degree views and photo opportunities," described a visitor.

    What campers like

    Private beach access: Some campgrounds offer direct water access without the crowds of public beaches. "The location cannot be beat. Lots of kids activities and the kids love the night swimming while adults can sit at the swim up bar," notes a guest at Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay, referring to their waterfront tiki bar and beach area.

    Free bike rentals: Several parks provide complimentary bicycles to explore trails. "Bike rentals are free (donations accepted), there are several hiking/biking/horse trails, disc golf, and canoe/kayak/peddle boat rentals (in season)," comments a visitor about Trap Pond State Park.

    Night sky viewing: Limited light pollution at many campgrounds creates opportunities for stargazing. "While we were there we loved watching all the different birds and seeing so many stars," shared a camper who stayed at the island tent site at Trap Pond, highlighting the clear night skies.

    What you should know

    Reservation timelines: Summer cabin bookings often require planning 6-12 months in advance. "We visited off season (early April) and absolutely loved it. The location was great and the beaches are quiet. I hear it gets packed and I see that it's hard to book if you don't book early," explains a visitor to Cape Henlopen State Park Campground.

    Wildlife awareness: Ticks are common during warm months, requiring regular checks. Mosquitoes can be prevalent near water. "Being near the water means the bugs really came out at night so make sure to turn off the outside lights after dark," advises a camper.

    Transportation to sites: Some cabin areas require walking from parking lots. "Wheelbarrows are provided to transport belongings from the parking area," notes a visitor about cabin access at several state parks in the region.

    Tips for camping with families

    Water activities for children: Multiple pool complexes with splash features are available. "My family tent camped 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," shares a camper from Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park At Delaware Beaches.

    Animal encounters: Several campgrounds feature small petting areas with farm animals. "The kids loved the animals up front that you can feed. Pool was well maintained," mentions a visitor about Holly Lake Campsites.

    Educational activities: Nature centers provide hands-on learning experiences. "There is a fantastic nature center (FREE) complete with touch tanks and knowledgeable park staff," describes a Cape Henlopen visitor, highlighting the marine life educational offerings.

    Tips from RVers

    Site dimensions: Many RV sites have specific length restrictions. "Sites are level and paved along with some sand and grass. Also a picnic table—no fire rings at the sites, but there were a couple campfire areas scattered around the park," notes an RV camper at Delaware Seashore State Park.

    Off-season advantages: Consider camping outside peak summer months for quieter experiences. "We have stayed both on sites and in one of the really nice cabins. The cabins are great for families, but do not allow pets," explains a visitor to Killens Pond State Park Campground, highlighting both the standard camping options and cabin alternatives.

    Utility hookups: Many cabin areas offer partial or full hookups nearby for hybrid camping setups. "Sites were level and had centrally located bathhouse. We were at the north campground," comments a visitor about the RV accommodations at Delaware Seashore.
