The 5th & last state on our East Coast trek is Delaware!
We took the ferry from Cape May & it was a novelty for us. We enjoyed it so much!
The state park is just a half mile on the left when you pull out.
For Delaware I had my heart set on Cape Henlopen State Park. The sites go fast & I felt lucky to get the site I ended up with. When we got there we found out a water main broke& there was no water. Fortunately, we only went a day without.
There are cabins & primitive sites with their own bath house. The water/electric sites are in rows A-F. We were in B 14.The sites are laid out at an angle, but some were a straight backin. The even A sites- you park your rig or car on the road in a straight line & you get a big wooded site. Not sure if these sites have electricity.
There's 2 dump stations on the way out.
There's shower houses for E/F/T, the G loop& on the B loop road. They were clean. There's an asphalt trail leading through the main sites for bathroom access. It's clearly marked on the map, so keep it in mind when you pick a site.
There are some pullthroughs that can take big rigs. The sites are not uniform, some larger, some smaller. Watch the site dimensions or you might not be able to fit your vehicle AND camper on the site. It HAS to all be on the asphalt behind the white line.
There are combo toilet/showers which I'm not fond of. You're a tenter & want to go for your morning BM& all the doors are locked with people showering. :( They're clean.
The camp store/ laundry is the building next to that. The playground is also right there.
This was my husbands favorite campground on our trip. It was a very enjoyable place!
This park has a LOT of activities: the beach, a nice nature center. Fort Miles for WW 2 history. Biking is hugely popular & they have bike rentals at the nature center if you forgot yours. You can climb a WW 2 watchtower. There's hiking trails, a fishing pier. So much to do.
Lots of good restaurants in the area also.
We had a great time there. Sorry we had to leave...
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.
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.
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 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.

Great spot
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!
Tried to reserve a site for August. Was told they only do long-term rentals.
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.
pros
pull through
friendly front desk
clean showers and toilet
free cable
great lounge
close to Long Beach Island and Atlantic city
well kept area
nice pool and playground
right off the parkway- easy to get to and easy to go places
Cons
small unshaded campsites
I liked it and would go back
My family and I stayed here this weekend. The campground is now known as Atlantic Shore Pines. This place is very close to Bass River State Park with lots of hiking and outdoor activities. Restaurants and stores in Tuckerton are just a few minutes away. This campground is about 20 minutes from LBI, and 35 minutes from Ocean City. The site we had was a pull through and very spacious. The whole place was quiet and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. AT&T cell service was great. We will definitely stay here again.
Our second time staying here. Spacious campsites in the D loop with half-circle drive in. Clean bath houses and facilities.
Decent walking trails around the lake. Lots of water activities in you're into that.
Camp store has the basics plus a few extras. Firewood for sale at reasonable price.
Wonderful campground with tons of amenities, including a snack bar, private beach and tiki bar with live music! Also has cabins. Downside: Pricy$$$
Love Henlopen. Beautiful setting, all blacktopped sites, clean functional bathhouses, great hike/bike trails. Also close to the beach and Rehoboth has great restaurants and shopping. Lewes is one of the coolest little towns in America. I rate it a 10!
Camped weekend before Easter. Only 3 loops open and mostly full. Camp host never bothered us (there are currently 3 onsite). Really odd rules with campfires (must buy wood from park, can not burn anything laying on ground like sticks/dead branches). Nice walk around the lake.
This is a cool place to visit. They have a beach with a little tiki bar and a really nice pool.
If you can make it their Halloween season is awesome. It usually lasts every weekend through October. Lots of activities for the kids.
This campground has been Eagle's Nest, Castaways and now it's been taken over by Sun Resorts. Very nice, but you are paying for that as well. We stayed on an Island Oasis site. These sites are small and we paid $250 for a weekend. This was before the pools were even open yet. There are things on site to do....they have a Tiki Bar, nice restrooms, a lovely beach, but you would expect that from a campground like this. If you are looking for the kids to be busy and not around, this is your place....we went as part of a shakedown for our camper, just to make sure that all the systems were working. I thought about going again, but the prices are a little unreal for just camping.
There is a neat brewery close by.....we really enjoyed that!
Love this campground. Very hard to snag a spot for a weekend. It's always busy. Sites are small. Lots to do, there's the beach, the WW2 lookouts, walks, biking and the surrounding area. Easy access to Rehobeth and Lewes. Always love going there! The bathrooms can be a bit groady, but it doesn't matter too much to us now as we can take a shower in our unit if it's too bad. We like camping here in the spring and fall….even with all the people, we can find peace. Definitely recommended!
Spent a weekend in BO1, spacious campsite, grill, picnic table, firepit, parking for 2-3 cars plus overflow parking. Firewood was easy to get and was plenty of it. I was only one in the forest ATM but saw some hikers occasionally throughout the day walking by.
This place is simply amazing. Nothing negative about it, just go and experience for yourself
There are a lot of nice spots, and a good mix of the monthly/seasonal folks and us weekenders. There is a smell due to being next to a chicken or animal farm; however, after a few minutes outside, the smell goes away.
Great spot, not the easiest to find with google maps but we managed. Our site was nice and secluded. Site 51 easily fit 3 tents and 2 cars. Definitely beware of chiggers and ticks! Deet is necessary. There are grocery stores close by like Walmart about 20 minutes away. The beach is nice and clean. We rented canoes near the beach. We were told not to go in the water outside of the roped off area where the life guards are because of the algae. Overall would recommend for a weekend. Bathrooms were clean and had hot water for showers in August.
The place is clean, a bit older. Sites are gravel and spacious and mostly level. Grounds well kept. This establishment reminds us of the campgrounds in Florida but one step up. It’s way too expensive unless you have kids that can enjoy the amenities. We wouldn’t stay again as we don’t see the value in what you pay for.
So not going to do 5 stars, but I will absolutely give a 4.9... we only had about one full day of time to be THERE, as days 1-3 were travel days. All that being said, the few staff we had the pleasure of speaking with, were polite and helpful... that isn't to say they were not present, but they were busy keeping the place together and cleaned up... Overall, it was a pleasant experience where we could enjoy a chill woodsy environment, camp fire, field away from light pollution where we could enjoy the night time view of the of the galaxy and the some.... and relatively above average cleanliness for the bathrooms. So honestly, I'm goinna give the benefit of the doubt, of one short visit, that our next will be just as enjoyable.
We spent a week through Labor Day at Sun Outdoors Ocean City (formerly Castaways) in Berlin, MD, as our final trip of the 2023 season. This was our second visit— and we had a great time!
In addition to a great beach area on the bay, pool, and other amenities, this place is about 15-minutes from the Ocean City beach/boardwalk. They run a complimentary bus back and forth to the Ocean City boardwalk and to Assateague Island which is a great reason to stay here. The bus driver, Becky, was great. She gave us helpful advice and provided easy way to get around without having to drive.
Our site(# 254) 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 partial privacy. We rented a golf cart which made it easy to get around(and entertainment for the kids). Our only negative is that the wi-fi was non-existent which is common among many of the campgrounds we’ve visited.
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.
In addition the Ocean City boardwalk and to Assateague Island, the town of Berlin was fun to walk around on a day that was too cool for the beach.
The place went from having lots of empty sites earlier in the week to being nearly full by the weekend. And even with so many people, the place was kept fairly clean and quiet at night. The camp store was well-stocked with all the usual stuff plus beer, a cafe for food, an ice cream parlor, and arcade.
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 the Ocean City boardwalk and to Assateague Island 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
