Best RV Parks & Resorts near Ellendale, DE

724 Reviews

Several RV-friendly campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Ellendale, Delaware, providing varied options for motorhome travelers. Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay in Millsboro offers full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service, open from March through October with both pull-through and back-in spots that accommodate large rigs. Treasure Beach RV Park in Selbyville features 163 sites with water, electric, and sewer hookups, operating seasonally from late April to October. Sun Outdoors Ocean City in Berlin provides similar amenities but operates May through October. Many parks in the region have paved sites, though spacing between units varies considerably. "These campsites are packed together. It is nearly impossible to not disturb neighbors with slide outs, noise, etc. as the sites are barely wide enough for a camper and a picnic table."

Fall tends to be less crowded at coastal Delaware RV parks, while summer reservations should be secured months in advance. Most campgrounds in the area offer sanitary dump stations, though some reviews note challenging access. "Be careful settling in if you have a rig longer than 25'. Many corners here are not meant to accommodate large vehicles when turning in the wrong direction," cautioned one camper. Campground amenities typically include swimming pools, Wi-Fi access (though often described as unreliable), and on-site stores. Pet policies vary between parks, with most allowing dogs but enforcing leash rules. Winter camping options are limited, as the majority of RV parks close from November through March. Big rig access is generally good, though reviews mention some leveling challenges on certain sites.

    Milburn Landing Campground

    Not suitable for large campers

    Very nice family friendly campground. Clean bathroom facilities, good playground and boat launch. Kids can play safely here as there are only 35 sites + a few cabins. Firewood is available for purchase at ranger station. The roads around campground are narrow with large trees lining the road. A big rig would have difficulty parking if not on a specific site. Most sites are gravel pad with electric. Would strongly suggest only tents, pop ups and travel trailers under 30'.

    Sun Outdoors Ocean City

    Small but beautiful

    Site #271

    Full hookups: 20/30/50 amp water & sewer

    Very nice/small campground on the Sinepuxent bay. Gets very busy during the weekend, even though it's considered off season but people respect quiet hours. We could hear the live band perfectly from our site which we liked. Not too many planned activities but free shuttle to nearby Berlin & Ocean City.Short drive to all Ocean City has to offer. Clean bath houses and golf cart rental was an added bonus! Highly recommend our site to anyone with littles as you can literally relax at your site while your child plays at the playground! All sites included a fire ring with cooking grate and picnic table. Fairly easy to back in but they do have pull throughs available as well. Site was fairly spacious and campground is SUPER pet friendly!

    Sun Outdoors Ocean City

    Love this place

    What a great visit are having. Beautiful location with lots of space for everyone. Great beach and tiki bar. Pools for the family and very pet friendly. We stayed in the ‘big rig’ site within Club Castaway right on the water as we have a 40ft rig. Amenities are clean, staff friendly and helpful. Our dog, Daisy, loved the beach and the dog park and socialization w her pooch friends. Will be back.

    Trap Pond State Park Campground

    Favorite DE campground

    Last family trip of the year and it didn’t disappoint. We stayed in site D25 again just as we did 2 yrs ago. It’s a pull through site as are all sites in loop D. This is pet friendly and has electric and water. Dump station is across from loop D. There are 5 loops with Loop E being tent and cabins/hurts only. That Loop also has island tent sites. We couldn’t walk into that area. Each loop or area has its own bathhouse which appear to all be individual family style bathrooms.

    The layout of the sites in loop D is not typical. All sites in this loop are pull through and parallel to the road, so the left drivers side of your camper faces the road and the right side faces your camp area. If you stay in an inside loop site you will be facing the camper on the other side of the loop. For instance D11 and D14 face each other. The distance between sites across the loop isn’t huge or blocked by any foliage but didn’t seem to be an issue for our friends who stayed in D24. If you stay on the outside of the loop you will either face the woods (higher numbered sites) or loop C through the trees ( lower numbered sites). Our site is pretty level as are most sites. 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. Other loops are all back in sites and many of those have trees to keep an eye on as well. This is a shaded campground. At the end of each loop is a pier on the pond which is large and beautiful. There are playgrounds in each loop and bike rentals at the camp store.

    The tent area is walk in but they provide wheelbarrows or carts to haul your stuff. These sites are very private and well spaced off the walk-in path and from each other. The cabins and yurts are also walk-in but again you have the use of carts. Some of the cabins are facing the pond and offer gorgeous views.

    There is a primitive group camp area complete with bathhouse, screened in pavilion, open air pavilion, numerous picnic tables, horseshoe and volleyball courts and sits at the point so the views of the pond are plentiful.

    There is a disc golf course within walking distance and the weekend we were there a competition was happening. There is a day use area with boat rentals and lots of trails for hikers or horses to use.

    The town of Laurel nearby has a few stores. I found This and That Country Store which was so cute. The owner was super nice. The beach areas of Delaware are not too far away if you want a beach day.

    This has become one of our favorite campgrounds in DE.

    Holly Lake Campsites

    Needs improvement but lots of potential

    We took our first trip in our new pop up here. I will begin by saying we like a clean cut, family style and less of a party drinking style of camping. The things we liked were: We could take our dogs, the staff was nice, good hook ups for our pop up, they had a beautiful pool and splash pad, loved the goats, deer and ducks in the pond, close to the beach and nicely wooded. Things we didn't like: The bath houses were a bit gross, we were in the center of many long term RVs and the night time language of many around our site was definitely NOT family friendly to say it nicely, unfortunately their camp store and amenities were all closed for renovations which couldn't be helped on their part, the park staff pretty much let anything go for conduct which is not what we are used to or comfortable with.

    Things went ok and it looks like they are improving the place which is great but we probably won't be back because the atmosphere was just not our style.

    Delaware Seashore State Park Campground

    Decent campground

    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. The park has two separate campgrounds divided by the Indian River Inlet. We stayed at the southern campground but both are similar with regards to the hook-ups, sites, and proximity to the water. Both campgrounds are wide open with no shade. Pads are paved but patios and area between sites is sandy with a little bit of grass. If you don’t like sand, this is not the place for you. 

    We were there in April so it wasn’t very crowded and temperatures were cool so we didn’t mind the lack of shade. Some campsites are open year-round and can accommodate various camping units from tents to 45’ RVs offering back-ins and pull thrus. Roads are fairly narrow and paved campsites barely fit big rigs as we had just a few feet to spare but were able to park the car in the sand/grass so it was not a problem. Most campsites have 30- and 50-amp electric, and water and sewer hook-ups. There are also no hook-up and tent sites. There are bathhouses with free showers scattered throughout the park and laundry facilities. Since we were there in the off-season only one bathhouse was open. There are no fire pits at your site but two community fire pits are located on the outskirts of the campground. Our over the air antenna picked up a dozen or so television channels and we had no problem getting cell or internet service with our Verizon phone. 

    Full hook-up sites range from $30-$55/night depending on if you are a resident and what day of the week you are there. No hook-up sites are available from $25-$50/night and tent sites range from $20-$35/night. We inquired about a senior discount and received it after a phone call to them. The south campground is about a half mile from the ocean access where there are two full-service restaurants(which were both closed when we were there). The beach is wide and great for walking on and dogs are permitted during certain times of the year. If you like to fish this is a great place for surf fishing in the Atlantic and bank fishing in the Inlet River. If you have personal watercraft, there is access to the marsh and bay directly from the park. 

    Near the north campground is a full-service marina with a bait and tackle shop, fish and seafood sales, and a short hiking trail. Just up the road is the Indian River Life Saving Station with a visitor center, museum and gift shop. Continue on up to the road and you will pass through the small town of Dewey Beach. Keep going another mile or so and you enter Rehoboth Beach where you will find everything you need(and don’t need). Rehoboth Beach is a typical beach town with everything from t-shirts to taffy and a mile-long boardwalk. If you are a beer lover there are plenty of breweries to choose from ranging from the smaller craft breweries like the Dewey Beer Company to the larger producer Dogfish Head..

    Trap Pond State Park Campground

    Quiet, natural simplicity

    We had a great experience at Trap Pond. Price was reasonable. D Loop sites were a good size. Comes with a fire ring and picnic table. Site wasn't super level, so just bring enough leveling blocks if you're in a camper. D14 specifically is the last site on the row with an unobstructed view of the pond- we loved it. All sites in D loop had great tree coverage. It was also right near the showers, which were clean & warm, just what was needed. Tent sites are more secluded and are walk-in; our buddies tent camped the same weekend. There was a dock within walking distance of our site. Canoes were available for rent & I highly recommend canoeing water trails through the beautiful Cypress trees. No sewer connects, but there are 2 dump stations and we didn't wait long at the dump station heading out on a Sunday in July. Camp store has all the necessities, yet still simple. Free concerts at the nature center every Saturday in the summer. Nice walking/hiking trails around the grounds also. Dog friendly was a plus!! Lots of dogs were on leads at campsites including ours.

    Sun Outdoors Ocean City

    What a Great Place!

    We spent a 5-day Labor Day weekend at what used to be called Castaways RV Resort as our final trip of the 2022 season. And what a great place to be! 

    In addition to a great beach area, pool, and other amenities, this place is about 15-minutes from the Ocean City beach/boardwalk. They run a complimentary hourly shuttle van back and forth to the boardwalk which is a great reason to stay here. 

    Our site(# 252) was a good size for our motor home. It was partial gravel and partial grass/dirt. It would’ve been nice to have more gravel or grass because I hate how the sandy dirt tracks inside. It backed up to a dense wall of bamboo which makes for great privacy and there were enough trees to create some shade(which is great). 

    For the 4-legged campers, there is a designated dog-friendly beach plus dog run and dog wash station. We used it all and are glad they offered these amenities. 

    I’m not sure if this was amped up for the holiday weekend or if it’s normal at this campground, but there was live music at the beach and a DJ at the pool which made for a great atmosphere. The camp store was well-stocked with all the usual stuff plus beer, a cafe for food, an ice cream parlor, and arcade. 

    My only complaint is that the wi-fi didn’t work for us at our site. We couldn’t use our phones or stream movies because there was no signal. When we rode up to the front of the campground, by the office, it worked better but that didn’t help us at our site. I know most campgrounds fail on this item, but it’s 2022 and we want wi-fi! 

    Bottom line: We had a great time at Sun Outdoors Ocean City and can’t wait to go back! 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    • Clean and well-maintained property and facilities 

    • Complimentary shuttle to boardwalk 

    • Proximity to Ocean City 

    THINGS I’D CHANGE: 

    • Give us working wi-fi(please!) 
    • Add some gravel to the site to cover up the sandy dirt

    Martinak State Park Campground

    Outstanding

    Martinak was a beautiful surprise. Lots of woods, leveled sites, clean facilities, no rowdy crowds. We had a great time. The park is pet friendly. The ranger was very vigilant and friendly. We met new friends and even attended a concert at their pavilion 🥰

Guide to Ellendale

RV parks near Ellendale, Delaware provide convenient access to the Atlantic coast while staying away from beach crowds. Situated in Sussex County at just 42 feet above sea level, Ellendale experiences hot summers with average highs around 87°F and moderate winters with temperatures rarely dropping below 20°F. The flat terrain throughout the region creates favorable conditions for RV camping, though sandy soil can sometimes create leveling challenges.

What to do

Beach access with free transportation: At Sun Outdoors Ocean City Gateway in Whaleyville, Maryland, campers enjoy free shuttle service to multiple beach destinations. "They have a free shuttle bus to provide transportation to assateaque island, frontier town, and ocean city," notes Randi J. This service eliminates parking hassles during peak season.

Water recreation on-site: Many campgrounds maintain private lakes and beaches for campers who prefer to stay local. At Treasure Beach RV Park in Selbyville, guests can fish directly from their sites. "We enjoyed fishing in the stocked lake, caught some bass and large brim," reports Penny C., adding that the campground also features "a beach front stage and fishing/boating/crabbing dock."

Mini golf and games: Free or low-cost recreation options abound throughout the region. "The campground has a new golf course that is free to campers," mentions Sue V. about Sun Outdoors Ocean City Gateway. Similarly, Shannon D. notes they "played almost every night because it was a fun thing to do after dark and before bed."

What campers like

Water park access: Sun Outdoors Frontier Town in Berlin provides inclusive waterpark admission with camping fees. "The water park and most camp sites are very far. Would suggest bikes or maybe renting a golf cart while there," advises Scott N. This represents significant value for families during summer stays.

Swimming options: Pools remain popular amenities, especially those with extended hours. At Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay in Millsboro, "the kids love the night swimming while adults can sit at the swim up bar," according to Theresa B. Many guests appreciate these adult-friendly features after a day of family activities.

Entertainment programming: Live performances enhance the camping experience at several parks. Erika S. shares that at Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay, "The Tiki Bar had amazing drinks and bar food. And the bartenders were super nice and accommodating." At Treasure Beach, "Every weekend there's a band or Dj at the beach at night," notes Kristan E.

What you should know

Site selection challenges: Finding the right campsite can be difficult at some parks. At Sun Retreats Avalon in Cape May Court House, New Jersey, Stephanie H. warns, "The roadways are narrow and there isn't a lot of maneuvering room. We stayed in site 402a and it was a nightmare backing in and getting out of."

Variable site conditions: Site quality differs substantially between campgrounds and within the same park. Cynthia D. reports at one park, "We had a large pull through lot with our 36 foot fifth wheel. Friends had a tiny lot with their shorter camper. They had no privacy."
