Pleasant with nice view.

Clean bathrooms and nicely landscaped. Sites. Space out well. And if you are lucky enough to grab a site. Things in the water. You. We'll see tugboats. In leisure, bones. Passing through the waterway.

Peacefull

The host and his wife, and parents are in the process of creating a homestead. The property is spacious with convenient water and electric. We enjoyed the use of their little sauna and outdoor shower. My only suggestion for them is to strategically place trees-greens for those that may enjoy a little privacy. We did not take advantage of their outdoor plumbing/bathroom, however it did appear to be available across the yard.

Beautiful Beaches Small Town

Love the no commercialism-bike paths and hiking trails a plus-We DID request a back in site a month ago however we were given a busy loop on the road site-oh well- this little island is a time to chill-enjoy the quiet, beauty and sealife-

Small Island Big Heart

We were excited about our spacious site! Yes, you can see, hear, and visit with your neighbors but that’s part of camping right! Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. On our first night we asked for a suggestion regarding a pub where locals hung out so we could gather some island knowledge. We were referred to a place called Huc a Poos.  We walked with our pup, and although it appeared busy, we did not let this deter us. Awesome beer and pizza and we gained a great deal of local knowledge regarding where to paddleboard. The island is small and you can walk or bike just about anywhere. There are not designated bike paths so be aware of dodging people walking, driving, golf carts, and jogging, 

Not so comfortable in site

Although there are a variety of sites available we are positioned smack in the middle of families with small and unsupervised children. When we were contacted to confirm our checkin I was told we were in -B8- a “deluxe” water view site that was not on a peninsula at the front of the KOA- We are a busy retired couple with a pup and honestly enjoy people and families- as well as privacy- the gentleman confirming our arrival convey a different setting- on a positive- the hiking trail here is nice and well maintained-

Convenient

Prior to arriving I was informed that I I was in a deluxe site which was in a quiet area facing the pond. Although there appeared to be many sites opened at the time of our arrival we were escorted to a site situated between a row of cabins , sandwiched between other campers. Although it was not water front as I was informed the site was functional-

Buyer Beware
  1. Customer service: poor- weather out of desperate times or just desperation-You can not modify your stay-once you have “locked” in your stay,no matter what!
  2. TRAIN-all day and night- earth shakes and extremely loud.
  3. Small sights, no division-packed in tight-
  4. Decorated for Halloween- A bit too much for very young children or any individual with a diagnosis of ASD or a social emotional history.

Baring Easter music -even when showering. In close approximation to Williamsburg-etc

Sand.Sun.Sea

Although this is not my favorite type of camping it may be yours. Easy level sights on asphalt parking lot.Nothing separates you from others and there is no room for privacy. The bathhouses in the front are slightly cleaner and the ones toward the back are used more frequently and all could use attention-cleaning. Bike paths are easy to access and well maintained outside of the park. Ocean City, Lewes etc are a short distance.

A forest in close proximity to cape Cod Canal.

Each site is nestled in between pines.  Although this is definitely dry camping-water spigots are conveniently placed between sites. Bug spray and fans are a definite when sitting outside due to mosquitoes. If there’s not a full moon be sure to have a reliable flashlight to navigate pathways. The restrooms do have hot showers although unkept and unclean-I was informed they are being upgraded. The woman that are employed here were extremely accommodating, polite and helpful-(hopefully you can read between the lines in this statement).   The campground abuts Heritage Museum and Gardens which is 100 acres of well maintained flowering gardens. Several unique buildings exist on the rolling paved walkways, each with a theme of antique cars, toys etc-there is an admission fee. There is a climbing and propelling area in the back of the property, however neighboring residents discouraged it from staying open-The Pilot House Restaurant as well as Fisherman’s View offer a variety of delicious appetizers, entrees, and martinis. And on a last note -check out Treehouse Brewery-great beer and another beautiful view-log onto their website to preorder tickets.

It's a KOA

Its our first stop of many and we wanted to shake out any glitches with our new camper at a public campground. The staff are very helpful and accommodateing. This campground although dated offers all the necessary comforts-Wifi, hot showers, electric etc. Currently, there are various updates occurring: additional sites, new tiny cabins, WIFI and electric are also being modernized. We opted to relocate to a site with less construction occurring and although you can still hear back hoes etc-our view has much improved. We wish there was easier access to bike and hike trails so we didn't have to drive to a location but overall a comfortable and positive experience.
