Worst Place to tent camp
|
|
if you would enjoy camping in a 20'x40' sand lot with tents on 5' on each side of you and paying $34 a night for the privilege, then by all means go ahead. I didn't sleep well because you would hear: neighbors conversations, lights glaring in from cars driving thru camp area, US 1 traffic 200' away. Of course if you had a $200k RV, things might have been better. Make sure you bring a tarp with screen as there is zero shade and bugs come out from tidal lagoon 10' away, at sunset. If you fish the inlet is right there, if you surf, forget it because you can only surf the North side of the inlet which means walking 1 mile, up and down stairs that go up and over bridge 100', or you could drive a few miles to make u-turn to go North and exit on North side and still walk 500' from parking area. Read 'big pain'. Don't ask the gate attendants where to go for groceries, they send you south to a local grocer, whose cousin works as the attendant. Here you'll find the scariest looking meats and produce fit for a lagoon rat.

Best beach in Delaware
|
Admission (2007) is now $8 per car, but it is good all day and is good for the entire park (not just the beach). The best beach in Delaware by far! Gradual entry into the water (unlike Rehoboth or OC), large waves further out suitable for true surfing (not just belly boards). Extremely easy access from the parking lot to the beach for toting beach stuff. WWII observation towers on premise.

Cape henlopen State Park Campground
|
|
My Canadian family has just returned from what has been declared "Our best family vacation ever". Which is really something when you consider that we are competing against Walt Disney and Canada Wonderland. Among other things we stayed for 5 nights at the Cape Henlopen State Park Campground. Yes the campground is not perfect. Yes there were Mosquitoes and Horseflys that were quite a pest. Yes there is not any electricity. What we did find were huge treed lots (larger than any we have seen in Canada), amazing warm showers (which you really need after a day at the beach), incredible bike/inline skating/running/walking paths, and a beach that my children have declared the most incredible they have ever seen. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of everything and the fact that it is so close to Reoboth Beach and the tax free shopping Outlets (I have girls). The highlight of the entire time, and something we had hoped for but did not expect to really happen, was the 6pm dolphin swim right off the beach. One night about 20 of them came in close enough to shore for us to have a really amazing experience. I had heard that there were dolphins in the area but really did not expect to see any without taking a boat tour. Two of them swam within 20 feet of my youngest daughter who was only 10 feet from shore. This is just to say that we have already started planning our return trip for next summer and have started telling friends. We will bring our screened dining tent, bug spray and a battery charged fan next time (we were there during a 100 degree heat wave). Other than that we wouldn't change a thing.
