Outdoor grills or fire rings accompany many cabin sites for additional cooking options. On-site camp stores at locations like Treasure Beach RV Park provide basic provisions, though selection is limited primarily to essentials and snacks.

      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. 🤣

      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.

      Delaware Seashore State Park Campground

      DE Seashore State Park: Crowded, but water activities everywhere!

      Enjoyed 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.

    Guide to Ocean City

    Cabin camping options near Ocean City, Maryland include both state park and private resort accommodations within a 20-mile radius. The coastal region features salt marshes and pine forests with an average summer temperature of 85°F and humidity levels that can reach above 70%. Most cabin accommodations remain open from April through October, though some state park facilities offer year-round availability.

    What to do

    Beach access with shuttle service: Sun Outdoors Ocean City Gateway provides free shuttle transportation to Ocean City beaches and Assateague Island. "They have a free shuttle bus to provide transportation to Assateague Island, Frontier Town, and Ocean City," notes Randi J., who appreciates not having to drive to beach destinations.

    Water recreation on freshwater ponds: Island Resort Campground offers kayaking and fishing on their stocked freshwater lake. According to Penny C., "We enjoyed fishing in the stocked lake, caught some bass and large brim," making it an excellent alternative when ocean waves are too rough for young children.

    Historical exploration: Cape Henlopen State Park Campground features military historical sites from WWII that provide educational value. "As a former military installation, there are lots of military historical items and sites. Underground bunkers and batteries and such," explains Lisa B., adding that the observation tower built atop one of these structures offers "beautiful 360 degree views and photo opportunities."

    Nature center programming: Trap Pond State Park Campground features educational programming at their nature center. "There is also a nature center," writes Lee D., who recommends this as an option when rain prevents outdoor activities. The park also offers free bike rentals with a donation system.

    What campers like

    Private beaches: Sun Outdoors Ocean City maintains dedicated beach areas that reduce crowding during peak season. Angelique R. appreciates the "loads of water and beach access," noting that there are "two separate beaches even a big one for your fur kids. Which mine thoroughly enjoyed."

    Bathroom quality: Many cabin campers note bathroom cleanliness as a key factor in their satisfaction. At Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay, April L. emphasizes that "the bathrooms are beautiful and kept very clean," which matters significantly for families using cabin accommodations with external bathroom facilities.

    Location convenience: Treasure Beach RV Park & Campground provides easy access to both beach and restaurants. Jim N. appreciates this campground's strategic location, noting it's a "great spot within a short drive to OCMD and Assateague" as well as "restaurants and supermarkets nearby."

    Entertainment options: Sun Outdoors Frontier Town receives praise for its unique entertainment offerings. Jason J. notes that "the water park was amazing" while Georgia E. adds there are "so many things to see it's amazing." This provides options beyond beach activities during hot afternoons or rainy days.

    What you should know

    Cabin availability: During peak season (June-August), cabins at most locations require booking 6-9 months in advance. As Tammy K. notes about Treasure Beach, "They are making a lot of new sites for 2019," but demand continues to outpace supply.

    Noise levels: Cabin proximity varies significantly by property. At Delaware Seashore State Park Campground, Lee D. cautions that while facilities are excellent, "there is NO privacy/separation between sites" and traffic noise can be notable as "sites were almost directly under the bridge."

    Amenity schedules: Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay operates facilities on seasonal schedules that may not match your arrival. Becca U. noted, "Our one and only complaint is that the pool and water activities didn't open until 11," which can impact morning activity planning.

    Additional fees: Most camping cabins near Ocean City require supplemental payments for activities or amenities. According to Shannon D., "If you intend to have a campfire, find a cheaper place along the road because you're going to pay about $1.25 per log at the camp store."

    Tips for camping with families

    Activity planning: Sun Outdoors Frontier Town offers scheduled children's programming throughout the day. Penny K. highlights that the campground "has waterpark, putt putt golf, pools, allows pets. Also has Wild West Show and Ice Cream Parlor. Very enjoyable campground for the whole family."

    Beach alternatives: When ocean conditions are rough, consider the calm waters at Trap Pond State Park. Lucia B. shares that "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."

    Equipment rentals: Cape Henlopen State Park offers free bike loans that reduce packing needs. "Free bike rentals are available, some with baby seats and trailers," notes Lisa B., which helps families avoid transporting bulky items to their cabin site.

    Playground proximity: When selecting a cabin site, consider proximity to play areas. Janelle G. appreciated that Sun Outdoors Ocean City Gateway offers "multiple playgrounds, minigolf, plenty for the kids to do," making it easier to supervise children from your accommodation.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection: For cabin guests considering an RV purchase, observe site spacing and amenities. At Delaware Seashore State Park, Polly D. notes the park offers "flat, large sites," though they are "typically windy and no shade."

    Utility reliability: Electrical reliability varies among properties, especially during summer storms. Jim L. at Bethany Beach Training Site experienced a hurricane and reports they "were without power due to Isaias until Thursday morning but didn't matter cause I came to enjoy the beaches and the ocean."

    Weekend timing: Arrival and departure scheduling impacts traffic conditions substantially. Nate J. recommends scheduling around weekend traffic, noting "We were here over the Memorial Day holiday and the place was packed! Still, it was a fun and relaxing weekend."
