    Cape Henlopen, just 43 miles southeast of Dover, has the distinction of being one of the United States’ first public lands. Recognized for its beauty and natural features, Pennsylvania founder William Penn decreed that the area should be preserved for the enjoyment of the local citizenry. That was nearly 3.5 centuries ago. Over the course of that time, Cape Henlopen has served several purposes but has always remained accessible to the public. In 1964, it was designated a Delaware State Park. Today, the park serves as an idyllic destination where campers, hikers, anglers and nature lovers can explore and appreciate the sand dunes, pine woods and tidal marshes in the same way the Founders did so long ago. The campground in Henlopen State Park is the perfect base to explore the area and enjoy many of the park’s attractions and activities. The campground offers a variety of tent and RV sites (many with 2-point hookups), walk-in tent sites, ADA accessible sites, and camping cabins that can accommodate up to six people. Amenities include bathhouses with showers, dump and recycling stations, a playground and an amphitheater. Camping is available from Mar. 1 through Nov. 30; seasonal campsite rates range from $20–$59/night; camping cabins range from $70–$130/night. When it’s time to play, the sky’s the limit. Four hiking trails are available for exploring the area’s pine forests and coastal dunes, visiting bunkers and watchtowers in the Fort Miles Historic Area, or taking in views of Delaware Bay and the Henlopen Lighthouse. Stop by the Nature Center and learn about some of the local bird and sea life (bird watching guides available), or take advantage of the park’s Borrow-a-Bike program and take a pleasant ride around Cape Henlopen’s bike path. For fun on the water, take a dip in the Atlantic at one of the swimming areas, try crabbing or surf fishing, or rent kayaks and go for an ocean paddle. There’s also disc golf and sports courts available for getting your game on. With so much to see and do at Cape Henlopen, you might just need to plan a longer visit!

    Just an hour’s drive south of Dover, Trap Pond State Park is a 3600-acre recreation area that features a freshwater wetland that supports one of the last natural stands of baldcypress trees. The pond was created in the 1700s when it was dammed to provide power for the local sawmills that were harvesting the area’s old-growth timber. Once the trees were gone, the area was used as a drainage for the surrounding farmlands. Finally, in the 1930s, the state acquired the land and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) rehabilitated Trap Pond and surrounding woodland as a nature preserve and recreation space. This created Delaware’s first state park. It has since become a haven for herons, owls, woodpeckers and eagles, and a place where campers and recreationists can enjoy some outdoor time. The campground at Trap Pond features 142 sites for tent and RV campers. Sites are set in five wooded loops: A, B, and C Loops have back-in sites with full hookups; D Loop has pull-through sites with full hookups; E Loop has primitive, walk-in tent sites. Each site is equipped with picnic tables and fire rings with grills. All camp loops have access to bathhouses with showers, restrooms, laundry facilities, and trash and recycling receptacles; a dump station is available near the campground entrance. The campground also has a picnic pavilion and kids’ playground between A and B Loops. The park also offers several rustic cabins and a couple yurts. Dogs are permitted, but must remain leashed. Campsite rates are $15–$25; cabin and yurt rates are $40–$52; reservations accepted. The nature center at Trap Pond is a good place to start a visit to the park. Interpretive exhibits and nature programs provide information about the history of the wetlands, as well as its flora and fauna. Once acquainted with the park, it’s time to hit the trails and water to discover more and enjoy the natural setting. More than 10 miles of multi-use trails invite hikers, bikers and horseback riders to explore the woods and wetlands. Paddlers can take to the ponds and explore 2.5 miles of water trails. Boat rentals are available in the park, as well as launches and docks for small watercraft. For anglers, common catches in the ponds include pickerel, crappie, bluegill, and largemouth bass. Visitors can also play at the sports courts or disc golf course, or take in bird-watching for waterfowl, songbirds, and raptors.

    Good size camp sites

    Bathrooms were clean but most of the faucets on the sinks were broken. The water has a very high iron content. I couldn't even use it for tooth brushing. Most of the showers were out of order. The toilets were clean but had the orange staining from the iron in the water. I stayed at Site#8 in a travel trailer. Site was level and easy in and out. Large site off the main road to other sites. Nice hiking trails. Staff very nice. The dump station is sometimes secured has a combination lock. Ask for the combination during check-in. Note: Some sites are right next to hiking trails. If you want privacy, don't choose them.

    Verizon cell service was between 1 and 2 bars.

    Beautiful campground with cozy bathroom

    I love this campground very much. I called the office book my reservation, the representative put me in Acorn loop.

    When I arrived by the late evening, there are only two camper in a huge site. Then I drove to Butterfly loop, this site have much more peoples, some camper tell me, the Ranger will coming soon; finally the ranger help me move my site into the Butterfly loop. From my experience, better book campsite by yourself online, then you have an idea this site how many occupancy.

    Great Location to Ocean City

    We stayed at this campground to be close to Ocean City for Ocean Calling music festival in September 2024...It is a great family rv Park...Lots of amenities...clean...close to OC or Historic Berlin...After the in-season fee and lock site fee...our nightly overall cost was $145...I will stay again next year if we attend the music festival. Only 4 stars b/c the showers need upgrading.

    Loved it

    Had a great time. Came with an outdoorsy circle of friends and we all had a awesome time at Assateague. The Atlantic was pretty rough but we still had a lot of fun at the beach. Our site was perfect too. We were very close to the bathrooms, showers, and the beach. The sound of the beach at night makes for great natural white noise. Chickens and horses might wake you up at a reasonable early hour, which isn’t a problem for me since I’d probably oversleep myself

    Our Happy Place

    We have been here many times before and it continues to be our favorite. Every weekend there’s a band or Dj at the beach at night and every visit we have made friends. There are usually food trucks and things for the kiddos like bounce houses during the day but just check the website for events (always subject to change so don’t hold that against them) People are always super friendly, kind and welcoming. The rules are what the standard should be for all campgrounds and even if you bend them a bit they aren’t jerks about it if you aren’t. We LOVE it and always hate to leave even though we pay the $25 to stay to 8pm on departure day, it’s never long enough. It truly is our happy place.

    Weekend Get Away

    My familiy an I stayed at Ocean City Campground for a weekend get away. The staff was was very friendliy and the campstore/snack stand was impressive. The campground has a nice pool and covered area. They also had organized activities. The site we had was nice, It was level and well kept as were all the other sites we saw. The sights do seem a little on the smaller side though. Cell service with AT&T was good overall. This campground is about a 15 minute drive from Ocean City. There are plenty of stores close by as well.

    Use to be Good

    This was our 5th and final trip to this campground. This time campground seemed to have LOTS OF little things that needed upkeep.

    Positive - close to Cape May, nice pool

    Negative - lots of airplane noise all day (due to local airport), nightly sites are slowly being turned into permanent sites. Lake seemed filled with algae on sides. Store was nice but not stocked as previous trips.

    Well Kept

    We stayed here for 4 nights.  We usually stay at a different campground but we unable to book there so we thought we'd try out SRA.  Upon arrival we were met by a pleasant man at the gatehouse who gave us our parking pass, gate key, and map.  Our site was easy to find and parking was easily maneuvered.  

    The grounds were well kept, the pool was clean, the bathhouse was clean AND air conditioned!!!!!  Loved the mini golf.  Every staff member we encountered was friendly.  This is a nice, flat campground so great for bike riding.  While there are MANY seasonal sites, we never felt unwelcome - quite the opposite!

    We were kind of annoyed by the loud music of other campers.  It was late (but not yet quiet hours), we were in our camper, with our air conditioner running and our TV on, and we could still hear their music.  This only happened one night but it went on for hours.

    We had a wonderful time camping at Assateague State Park. We have camped here 5 times now.

    The bath houses are always clean and well stocked and the showers are warm. The park rangers make their appearance known throughout the park and always available to help. The park is beautiful with paved bike/walking trail. You will definitely see horses throughout your stay. This is one of our favorite campgrounds.

    Bring your weed-wacker!

    Assateague Gone is the Assateague Island RV campground that we grew up with all our lives! Not only has some genius made the executive decision[in recent years] to REPLACE all the park's glorious sandy campsites with knee high pricker-grass...(which has NOTHING to do with preserving the dunes)...but now, they ONLY MOW their weed-filled sites once in a blue moon...and they REFUSE to mow it upon request(when you arrive at your personal, bug-infested jungle, for your 14-day vacation)...so, you can't even sit around your campfire ring or play a game of cornhole. I guess they'have us', since they're the only oceanside State Park RV campground, around. And for what? It's not as if they can't afford to mow it. It's not as if camping/campers have declined. Now there's nowhere to camp anymore where you can gather around the campfire with your toes in the sand. Heartbreaking!

    Thousand Trails Lake & Shore

    The rules are a little over the top for us, but the place was nice.

    I get you need to have rules to keep order, but when I say the people at this campground were a little extra, I mean it. We stayed 2 nights at Land & Shore and the first night was Friday night and all 6 families that are members with our own sites were hanging out around a fire pit and at 1016pm someone security person drove by with one headlight and told us at 11pm we would have to pit our fire out. I think it was a little bit overkill and there was other campers that had a fire going, we were not being loud or anything and when she came by or anything so we didn't understand the urgency of telling us that, plus when did quiet time mean you couldnt sit by the campfire. The next day when I was in the hot tub my daughter walked up to me to ask if I could get her a drink and she was not about to get into the water but the over concerned lifeguard walked up to say ... you need to be 18 to be on the hot tub and we all looked at each other that were in, and the old man next to us says well we all are and he said we'll she's not and he replied for me l, that good thing she wasn't in then ... let a parent be a if you see someone not obeying the rules, okay, but we were, and we don't need your 2 cents because you're not even 18. I liked the area but wouldn't go back to this same campground, the sites are way too close for me and your practically on top of your neighbors, but we went with family so... the beach is within 10ish minutes and is beautiful but your suppose to have passes, we biked around the area and along the beach it was very nice. I did like the lake and waterpark. However, the water in the waterpark was ice cold.

    Relaxing Father's Day Weekend

    We stayed in Site 122, a Red Carpet Pull-Thru RV site, at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp Resort South Jersey for Father’s Day weekend. This was our third stay at this campground, but the first since new owners took over and converted it to a Jellystone. 

    THINGS I LIKED: 

    1. Everything, including our site, was in great condition, clean, and good working order 

    2. Our site was directly across from the Pavilion which was great for Saturday night’s live band 

    3. Our site included a nice concrete pad big enough to park our 45’ motorhome+ toad 

    4. Our site was roomy with plenty of mature shade trees 

    5. The pool and surrounding amenities are nice and clean including lake, snack bar, and ice cream 

    WOULD WE COME BACK? 

    Absolutely, this is a nice place for a few days of downtime.

    We loved our stay! A quick drive to the beaches and a gorgeous rail trail! Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming which was the biggest selling point for us. Upon check in we were greeted by the friendliest man who made us feel right at home. We have a 25ft pull behind and our site comfortably fit the trailer and our whole outdoor setup. We will be back!

    Nice place, great location.

    We took our travel trailer down for a long weekend at the end of the season. It was pretty full, but didn't feel crowded. There are a few (seasonal) restaurants with in a few minutes walk/drive.

    There is an unmarked speed bump on the way in, so go SLOOW.

    Quiet stay

    We had a great time out at Belleplain! The only downside is the cell service, but it’s not their fault! The park itself was very quiet, clean, and they even had parks for our littles to play at! The restrooms were clean as well- which to me is a BIG PLUS! A lot of the campsites are very spacious as well, which was nice, as we have a large family and a large tent! Pets are also allowed with no size restrictions with vaccination records and a leash!

    They have kayaks available to rent to row across the peaceful Nummy Lake. They also have events regularly scheduled for things to do with your family and friends, like bird watching for instance! They also have hiking trails and bikes!
