The sound of water lapping against the shoreline sets the tone at this family-owned campground on a freshwater lake in Newark. Island Resort Campground operates seasonally from April through December, offering both RV sites with full hookups and cabin rentals alongside boat-in access for those arriving by water.
Sites split between shaded, secluded spots away from the lake and open areas with direct water views. Chris G. notes that "many sites have a view of the lake" though "they don't look like they get shade," while the wooded sites provide cover but sit back from the water. The campground includes a swimming pool, boat rentals for kayaks and canoes, and a camp store. Full RV hookups cover electric, water, and sewer connections, with a dump station available.
Campers use this location as a base for exploring the broader region, including Assateague Island National Seashore Campground and Ocean City beaches. The freshwater lake supports fishing and paddling activities. Staff receives consistent praise from visitors for helpfulness and maintaining clean facilities. Reservations are accepted, and pets are welcome on the property.
