  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.

  Avalon Campground

  Nice campground near lots of great beach towns

  We spent a weekend at Avalon Campground to tour the trailers at the Vintage Trailer Rally. We toured about 15 RVs which was a lot of fun. The owners all took time to share details about their renovations and how they use the trailer. 

  For me, this is a 4-star campground because of lack of wifi and cable tv. We normally bring our own wifi, but are waiting on a replacement unit to arrive this week. That’s why I was hoping they’d have wifi, or at least cable tv as a backup. 

  THINGS I LIKED:

  — Nice campground— nothing fancy, but everything worked and it was pretty clean and well-maintained

  — Friendly staff including an escort to the site(which was a good size with working utilities)

  — Lots of nearby beach towns

  — Easy access from Exit 17 off Garden State Parkway

  — They have a concrete pickleball court which we enjoyed 

  THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:

  — WiFi cost extra fee and didn’t work well at all

  — Cable TV reception wasn’t good 

  WOULD WE COME BACK? 

  Absolutely, this is a great spot! They’re adding a swimming pool which is under construction now, so that should be a good addition

  Cape Henlopen State Park Campground

  Tight spaces

  Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay

  Nice resort

  We had a nice visit. Sun is in the process of fixing the place up. The swim up bar was being restored. My only negative was the site two places up played there stereo live music loud. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. They did get called out for it by management.

  Beachcomber Camping Resort

  Beachcomber RV Resort

  Website says RV Resort and cabins. Turns out 75%+/- of camping area is made up of Tiny Homes, owned by people, and some for rent, plus cabins.

  In fairness, this isn't our type of camping. Many RV's were season with no one there. Thursday was dead, but Friday campers came in for Mother's Day weekend. We went to the bathhouse only to find out it was closed (seasonal). So a nice easy walk to do laundry turned into a lengthy walk or drive. Made no sense. Then on Friday, I was outside reading a book and an employee rolled into our site on a riding mower kicking up dirt all over me and into the trailer, with rocks kicked up into the picnic table. Lucky, no broken windows. Lippert no longer makes the window, so they would have been buying five (5) ones

  This is a great place for families with young children. Just not our cup of tea

  Adventures Await Retreat

  Nice, Quiet Campground but Ongoing Electrical Issues and No Resolution

  We stayed at this campground for approximately one month and paid full price with the expectation of reliable utilities and access to advertised amenities. The property itself is nice and quiet, which we appreciated, but unfortunately that did not outweigh the issues we experienced.

  During our stay, we had ongoing electrical problems at our site. Our air conditioner would not function properly, and we were unable to use it for essentially the entire month, including during several hot days. Our hot water heater also could not reliably run on electric, which forced us to operate it on propane and refill our tanks twice at our own expense.

  In addition to the electrical issues, the water quality was also a concern. The water from the faucet would often come out brown and murky for a period of time when first turned on, and at times even after it had been running.

  Our site also did not include basic amenities such as a fire ring or picnic table, which are typically expected and commonly included with full-price sites.

  At one point, the entire campground lost power. Despite that, we were told our pedestal had been tested and was functioning properly, which was not possible given the campground-wide outage at the time.

  After leaving and connecting to power at a different campground, all of our systems—including AC and hot water—worked immediately without issue. This confirmed the problem was not with our RV, but with the power supply at this campground.

  Additionally, one of the listed amenities (the pool) was unavailable when we attempted to use it.

  We brought these concerns to the owner and requested a reasonable refund or adjustment based on the lack of usable electrical service and the additional expenses we incurred. That request was refused.

  We are sharing this so others are aware. If you rely on consistent electrical service, clean water, and standard site amenities, this is something to seriously consider before booking.

  Thousand Trails Lake & Shore

  First time campers and we loved it here

  The area was well maintained, lots for the kids to do, and everyone that worked there was so nice. Close to beaches and food. We’ll be back!

  Brumbleys Family Park

  Horrible

  Lived there full time up until a branch fell on our camper and totaled it. We took her rent and told her our plans and she sat there and said keep me updated. We were going to get another camper so I called to let her know and asked if it was ok and she was very quiet then said I'd rather you not. So you knew what we intended on doing a month before we decided to go with another camper but you instead of telling us face to face you were a coward and delayed us finding another camper so now we are scrambling to find a place. She doesn't know how to run the campground, she never even sent us a formal notification to vacate our lot just word of mouth. washers are old and don't work correctly. I would not recommend it at all. Always nitpicking my son for being outside and being a boy. Very flat and bizarre affect. Hard to deal with. No tent sites no activities for the kids. Bugs are super bad no kind of pest control done.
