1 campground with availability this weekend
Tuckahoe State Park Campground near Greensboro offers trail access for equestrian visitors, though dedicated horse corrals are not available on site. The park features an extensive multi-use trail system with approximately 20 miles of trails open to horseback riding, shared with hikers and cyclists. Campsites are spacious and well-shaded, set in wooded areas that provide natural privacy between sites. The campground maintains two loops with electric and non-electric options, accommodating tents, RVs, and cabins. The equestrian trails connect to the broader park landscape, allowing riders to explore diverse terrain including forest and creek areas.
Located approximately 7 miles from Greensboro, the trail system accommodates day riders, though overnight horse camping requires special consideration as no permanent horse facilities exist within the standard campground. Nearby Adkins Arboretum connects to the park via trails, extending riding possibilities with additional acreage to explore. Riders frequently mention the well-maintained, mostly flat trails that make for pleasant day excursions. Trailer parking is available in designated areas of the park, though space may be limited during peak seasons. For overnight stays with horses, campers should contact park rangers in advance regarding specific requirements and restrictions. Seasonal considerations affect trail conditions, with spring and fall offering optimal riding weather and summer presenting more challenging heat and insect conditions.
"Those can be found at the campground entrance. Each loop has a wood shed and clean, well-appointed bathhouse. There are water pumps along the road for refills."
"We were looking to explore Maryland's Eastern Shore and picked Tuckaho because they had electric sites available. We were so pleased with our stay."
from $21 - $70 / night
"Though I live in Texas now, Maryland will always be home for me. Whenever I get the chance to head back, I almost make sure to check out some of the local fishing spots."
"Park is that the Electric loop (B) has all of the sites on the outside of the drive loop so you are not looking across the road at other campers."
from $18 - $77 / night
"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."
"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 are some equestrian and tent sites as well. Lots of boating (electric motors only) and kayaking on the pond and a decent amount of hiking."
"I took her older cousins to the fishing pier, and we didn't even get a nibble, but I think it was too cold for panfish that close to shore."

"The location (in between Dewey/Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach/Ocean City, Maryland) is PERFECT. You have close access to miles and miles of touristy beaches and uninhabited beaches."
"We stayed in a full hook up site, and we found the campground to be clean, well maintained and so close to the beach."

from $35 - $352 / night
"The only thing about this site specifically is the trail was close by so you’d occasionally see people walking by but not enough that it didn’t still feel secluded."
"I was only one in the forest ATM but saw some hikers occasionally throughout the day walking by."

GuidePretty 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
ScoutFirst time at this campground really like it a lot will be returning. The bathrooms are always clean. The grounds are always kept up. Just a really nice place to stay. Most of the sites have some kind of shade.
GuideEnjoyed the stay here June 19-21, 2026, in the tents-only section at a campground just 10 minutes from home. I've lived near this campground for 45 of my 66 years but never camped there.
The cramped campsites always turned me off but my wife and I decided to try it as a test run when we bought all new camping gear after not camping for 15 years(well, except for the 40-year-old Coleman stove that still works).
The campsites are tight and strictly BYOS(Bring Your Own Shade). The weather cooperated with temps in the low 80s and cool westerly winds. Because this campground sits adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, Indian River Inlet and Indian River Bay, it fills up on weekends for camping, beach-going, fishing, kayaking and other water activities. I'd suggest going weekdays if you can.
Even with all the people, though, it was mostly quiet. The traffic from the Indian River Inlet bridge didn't bother me much but it did keep my wife up the first night. The bridge lights up at night and looks most spectacular at sunrise.
We ate dinner at camp the first night and then went to the inlet walkway to watch the sun set. The sunsets over the Indian River Bay, serenaded by the U.S. Coast Guard station's bugle calls with the lowering of the colors at its station at the north side campground, are a must. We also got to see a green heron foraging on the rockpiles and a dolphin swimming through the inlet. Fishermen lined the walkway to add to the atmosphere.
The next morning we drove over to the north side of the inlet to the Burton's Island trail-- another first for me. The trail was probably a mile or so and took about an hour, though it looked like we could have gone further into the brush had we not been wearing shorts and t-shirts. We came across a horseshoe crab traveling along a dirt path and a turtle trying to hide itself under downed tree branches. Blue water surrounded us in the marshes.
An excellent dinner at Matt's Fish House capped off our anniversary and we returned to the campground to watch the sunset again.
The bathrooms were well-placed. They were mostly clean but the five-second" Navy shower" intervals in the showers were annoying. There's no water or electric at the tent sites but a high-powered community water tap works for cleaning dishes.
The ban on open fires at the campground did disappoint. There is a community fire pit but no one used it our two nights there.
Oh, I can't forget the Diamondback turtles. Be careful driving so you don't hit them as they wander through the campground. We saw several lay eggs on the sand volleyball court and one scurried through our campsite and under our picnic table on its way to points unknown. The picnic table at each site is heavy but movable.
The people were friendly even in such crowded conditions. Lots of kids on bikes, skateboards and scooters and at the playground. Basically, you don't come here as much for the camping as you do for the water sports and activities.
As a tent camper, I'd opt for the tent-only loops versus the Standard sites that accommodate tents and small RVs and popups. Our tent-only loops looked less congested than the Standard sites.
I'd give this campground 4.5 stars. It would be an easy 5 if not for the crowded conditions.
LegendThis is a great little state park tucked away in the woods. Campsites are pretty spacious and have nice shade. The campground has two loops, each with a bathhouse located in the middle. Our site (Butterfly Loop #3) was long enough for our motorhome and tow car. The roads are paved, as was our camping pad. The only utility at our site was 30-amp electric. There are water spigots located throughout each loop and we were close enough to fill our water tank. For the most part, the park is big-rig friendly but we did brush against some trees on our way around the loop. Campsites do vary in length so make sure you include your length when booking. We reserved online and were instructed to just go to our site which was nice and convenient. They sell firewood onsite and have a self-pay station which we loved. There is a nice boat launch and the kayak launch has a platform to assist you getting in and out and there are plenty of places to fish from the bank. There is a nature center (which was not open during our stay), playground, picnic pavilions, amphitheater, The bathrooms could use some more attention. The shower curtains were pink meaning they have not been properly cleaned in a while. Needless to say, we did not shower there. The dump station was closed while we were there but we were told we could use the dump station at Tuckahoe State Park (about 10 miles away). We really enjoyed the short hiking trails and paved trail which allowed us to log about 3 miles without having to leave the park. The campground is a really relaxing place to be. We did drive (about 40 minutes south) to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park and Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, both of which we recommend. It is also worth a drive to St. Michaels to see the quaint seaside town and visit the maritime museum (plan on spending half a day at the museum). The only downside is that the park is not gated and open for day use so a lot of people just drive through the campground looking around.
LegendOverall, this is a nice, small (about 65 sites) state park with plenty of recreational opportunities inside the park. There is nice separation between sites so you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. Tall trees are scattered about which provide shade at some sites but overall, the park is pretty open. Roads getting to the park are easy to navigate with any size RV. Within the park, roads are paved and free of potholes and there are no low hanging branches. Since the roads are one-way they are not very wide so backing in big-rigs can be a little tight and you might have to run over the grass.
All RV sites are full hook-up and there is a separate area for tents and there is one canvas yurt for rent. The tent sites are nice in that they are tucked along the wood line slightly away from RVs with more privacy and shade. The only downside is that they are pretty far away from the centrally located bathroom and showers. The bathroom has separate rooms for showers which is nice and private. They were tended to daily and very clean. Also, located in the center of the campground is a playground, camp store and laundry. The dumpsters and recycle bins are located in a separate area on the way out of the campground and were frequently full and overflowing. Campsites are paved and some have wide enough that the patio is paved but others have a narrow pad for the RV and gravel patio. We discovered that most sites are level but a few are not (like 22 and 24). The campground is very clean and camp hosts were diligent about picking up trash and cleaning out fire pits every day.
Across the pond (north of the campground) is where most of the amenities are located such as concessions, ball fields, horseshoe pits, disk golf, and more. For those wanting to fish there is a pier in the campground and a self-serve vending machine with bait in it. There are additional fishing piers located in other parts of the park and there are boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent. We stopped in at the Nature Center but it was a bust– just a few taxidermy specimens and not much information. One of the most popular areas of the park is Go Ape which is a ropes/zip line course through the canopy (which does require admission fee). There are nice trails that leave right from the campground– some 17 miles in all. There is a boat launch about a quarter mile from the campground entrance which is suitable for trailerable boats and paddle craft but there are no docks so you can’t leave your boat tied up there. There is an off-leash dog area but it is located far from the campground so it’s best to drive.
ScoutBathrooms are clean and staff is nice
ScoutWe allways have a blast everybody is so nice and lots to do
GuideFrom well spaced sites to helpful staff, Trap Pond is Delaware state parks crown jewel. The pond itself is beautiful, camp sites are well maintained and spaced apart nicely.
TravelerTrap Pond SP is a lovely park that has everything you need. Electric/water hookups, docks on the pond at each loop, clean bathhouses, and the "day" side of the park on the other side of the pond! A few miles of walking trails, and an incredible, prehistoric feeling paddle trail through gorgeous bald cypress trees. Reasonable camp store. Sites are a wee bit close, but comfortable and level.
Tuckahoe State Park's campsites are located about 7 miles from Greensboro, Maryland, in an area characterized by coastal plain forests and tidal wetlands. The region has mild winters with average lows around 25°F and hot, humid summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 85°F. Camping here provides access to over 3,800 acres of mixed forest and water features with trails connecting to surrounding public lands.
**Kayaking and fishing: Water-based activities offer alternatives to horseback riding on multipurpose trails. At Martinak State Park Campground near Denton, "beautiful waterfront great for kayaking and water sports" provides additional recreation options during your stay. One camper notes that "you can rent canoes" for exploring local waterways.
**Cycling opportunities: Bring bicycles to explore flat terrain trails throughout the region. At Trap Pond State Park Campground, "bike rentals are free (donations accepted)" which creates affordable recreation options. As one reviewer mentions, "there are several hiking/biking/horse trails" making it ideal for mixed-activity days.
**Birdwatching: The Eastern Shore offers excellent bird habitat diversity with seasonal migration highlights. While paddling at Trap Pond, you might "see the Cypress trees up close" in areas known for diverse waterfowl. The nearby aviary at Tuckahoe provides rehabilitation services for injured birds that can't be released.
**Spacious, wooded sites: The camping areas throughout the region provide natural buffers. Lums Pond State Park Campground receives praise for "large sites and all were redone in the last few years with concrete pads, 30 amp service and full sewer." Another camper appreciated that "sites are large and well spaced. Many are in full sun."
**Clean facilities: Area campgrounds maintain good standards for comfort. At Delaware Seashore State Park Campground, "the bath houses are clean" according to frequent visitors. This sentiment is echoed at Martinak, where "bathrooms were like brand new. Water and electric on our loop."
**Multi-generational appeal: The region accommodates campers of all ages. Trap Pond is described as having "lots of trails for biking. Nice size campsites," making it suitable for families. Another visitor shares that "we were there Halloween so all sites full. Great biking (mountain and gravel)."
**Limited horse facilities: While trails are accessible for equestrians, dedicated amenities are sparse. Area state forests sometimes offer more primitive options. At Blackbird State Forest Campground, "horseriding is encouraged" though basic facilities mean "only port a potties but they were clean."
**Seasonal considerations: Weather affects camping comfort significantly. Summer conditions include high humidity and insect activity. As one Tuckahoe visitor noted, "it rained pretty hard one day" creating potential challenges for tent campers. Another camper mentioned, "we lost power during a rain storm" highlighting the need for backup plans.
**Campsite selection matters: Research specific sites before booking. At Tuckahoe, one camper warns, "we booked site 21, blind. The web site does not say site 21 is extremely small. We have a 25' camper, and it barely fit... The firepit was about 3-4 feet from our door."
**Playground access: Multiple recreation areas cater specifically to children. Martinak State Park gets praise because "they have quite a few playgrounds throughout the park, which was a major plus for us." Another parent added, "we had a great time with our 3 little ones. They have lots of easily walked trails."
**Educational opportunities: Plan for learning experiences alongside recreation. Tuckahoe State Park Campground offers "an extensive junior ranger program" for kids to learn about local ecosystems. Nature centers throughout the region provide interpretive displays about local wildlife and plant communities.
**Water safety: Supervise children closely around ponds and waterways. One family noted at Lums Pond that "our daughter really enjoyed the playground" while adding that parents should monitor water activities carefully. Life jackets are recommended for all children near water features.
**Hookup variations: Electric and water access differs between campgrounds in the region. When staying at equestrian-friendly sites, note that "the sites are well maintained" but may have limited utility connections. One RVer at Martinak mentions, "sites have electric and water but does have dump" for longer stays.
**Leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain at some locations. A camper at Trap Pond observed, "sites are not level and have a sandy base so it took a bit of work to finally get the rig level, even with auto-levelers." Bringing additional leveling blocks is recommended.
