Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries.

Camp stores at Delaware State Park and other locations sell firewood, basic camping supplies, and limited groceries. Malabar Farm State Park offers a small rentable cabin open year-round in a working farm setting.

ScoutWe camped here for the first time this year and ended up booking 2 more trips here. We just finished our last trip. We love this campsite. No other place has sites this big and give you this much space. Awesome place to camp
ScoutCould not ask for a better site. Absolutely beautiful setting. A nice small lake for fishing, and a perfect shallow stream for kids to play in, running right by the sites. The pool house and facilities are spotlessly clean. On top of that, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We even needed a jumpstart for our truck when we were towing the camper out on a rainy Monday morning and someone came around to help. 100% will come back and 100% would recommend to anyone.
ScoutRight close to Columbus this campground is a staple for locals trying to just get away for the weekend. There is an amphitheater, a camper’s beach, nature center, and more all within the campground. Alum creek state park is a larger facility surrounding the campground with a public beach, walking paths, mountain bike trails, archery range, hunting areas, boat marina and more. The public beach is rather gravelly but has nice shower houses and grills available. We are attending during fall fest where they put on many activities for the campers and it is a lot of fun. You have to reserve 6 months in advance to be able to get in on fall fest unless there is a last minute cancellation. Our site is relatively flat parking, we didn’t need to level the rig. It did rain the morning we got here and the area around the fire pit was a bit muddy. The view out the back of this camp site is nice and wooded, you’re not looking at your neighbors out the back window. The sides you can definitely see each other but it’s still wooded and secluded enough between the sites here.
RangerGreat campground. My favorite is each loop has their own shower house! Nice playgrounds for kids. Nice private sites. Lots of woods and trails. Good lake for boating fishing and kayaking. Park is very clean and well maintained. They have a kids fishing pond! It’s also great for biking.
Rangerwe come back to MW a few times each year as the access to the river and quiet nature of the campground is great. The playground is nice, the store is clean and well stocked.
ScoutOur stay was in an RV Sept 2026. I had specifically requested and paid extra for a spot on the fishing pond to fish. Not only was there a lot of long-term campers at this resort, but the fishing pond was covered in duck weed over 3/4 of the water where my site was at, and on the day we left it was 100% covered with duck week. The duck week invasion was not mentioned to me when I called and made the reservation to be on the water. In fairness, I will say I caught some fish at the clear end of the pond before it was 100% covered.
The park itself was clean, quiet and decent. The staff were very nice. The Aqua fun zones water is not clear blue as advertised, it is murky, the 9 hole mini golf is outdated and should be called mini-mini golf as it is very small. The swimming pool and playground were as advertised. I cannot answer to the other amenities as I did not see or utilize them.
In conclusion, this campground could benefit greatly from some updating especially of the amenities as they are not what the pictures portray.
ScoutStayed in cabin 4 last year got are alive. Stayed in cabin 1 this year and got bit worse. This year looks like bed bugs
RangerThis campground is huge. Great for biking. Nice lake for fishing, boating and kayaking. There is a campers beach in campground. Many sites have water access. Small fishing pond. Very nice camp store. Big, wooded sites.

Fishing opportunities: Delaware State Park features multiple launch points with fishing access for anglers. "There is a campground beach and boat launch. Lost of hiking paths in the campground and in the park area," reports Jill B. from Alum Creek State Park Campground.
Water recreation: Many cabin locations offer lake access for swimming and boating during summer months. "The lake is a hit so much that we never go to the pool. Having free, unlimited access to pedal boats and other boats is a huge treat," notes Bill T. about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Columbus.
Target shooting: For visitors seeking unique activities beyond traditional camping, Cardinal Center provides extensive shooting facilities. "We camped here off season and really enjoyed it. They have an indoor pool, stocked fishing pond, and an indoor clubhouse with a pool table," explains Renee L. about the diverse amenities at the center.
Privacy between sites: Campers frequently mention site spacing at certain locations. "What I liked about this campground is the fact that all the sites have privacy.

Clean facilities: Bathrooms and common areas receive positive mentions at many locations. "The bathrooms were clean. Great space for the kids to get it and play," according to Lauri C. in her review of Delaware State Park.
Winter camping options: Several locations offer year-round cabin availability. "Our site had ful hook-ups 50 amp service with sewer and water picnic table and fire ring for $44 a night. All of the people next to us were very nice and everyone respected each other's sites," notes George J. about his experience at Cardinal Center Campground.
Site leveling challenges: Some cabin and RV sites require leveling equipment. "The site is not level and our leveling system has the front wheels off the ground. Many full time units here beautiful patios and decor," comments Brenda M. about Cross Creek Camping Resort.
Reservation timing: Peak season cabin bookings fill quickly, particularly at state parks. Reserve several months in advance for summer weekends.
Wi-Fi variability: Internet access differs significantly between locations. "Wi-Fi seems good throughout the entire park. Best Wi-Fi I've ever had at a campground. They have Wi-Fi repeater towers everywhere you look," reports Gary G. at Sunbury/Columbus North KOA Holiday.

Off-peak benefits: Several campers recommend spring and fall visits for fewer crowds. "We went camping early October in tents. It was cold but it was so much fun," shares Maddy B. about her Delaware State Park experience.
Site selection strategies: RVers should research specific site dimensions before booking. "Spots are a little tight, but most have a lot of shade. Close to town/shopping if needed," advises Kelly L. about Foxfire Family Fun Park.
Utility connections: Bring appropriate sewer connection equipment. "Didn't see any sewer pipes that had threads on the inside, so you may need a donut or at least a weight to hold your elbow into the sewer," recommends Gary G. regarding hook-ups at KOA Holiday.
Leveling equipment: Pack leveling blocks for potentially uneven sites. "There's a few sites are unlevel so you may need to use your levelers and maybe some blocks, we did," adds Gary G. about the terrain at Sunbury/Columbus North KOA.
