Clean well run operation - located within short distance by water to some of the finest fishing on the eastern seaboard - flounder, black drum, sea bass...

Great alternative to pricey hotels at the beach...

I do not agree with the negative statements about this campground. My husband and I wanted to stay close to the beach without paying an arm and a leg. We had our two year old son with us. We thoroughly in enjoyed the experience we had. The bathrooms were clean and tidy and the staff was joy to be around. The staff was helpful and courteous and even suggested activities for our family to attend. We took our son on a hayride to see their newborn bison. It was wonderful! We had no issues with flies at all. I am not sure where some of you stayed but it was not this campground.

We love this place!

Delaware Seashore State Park is a wonderful place to visit. We camp in an RV and it is the only Delaware State Park to offer full hook ups which is very helpful! The sites are pull through style and have a paved surface. The balance of the site is mostly sand and be warned that there is no shade whatsoever. This never poses a problem for us because we have an awning, but if you don't it could prove to be a scorcher. The fishing from the Jetty is fantastic. You do, however, need a fishing license. You can get them online or at the park. A seven day pass runs you about $13.00. The beach is to die for and it is an easy walk under the bridge to the guarded beaches. The shower houses are newly remodeled and very nice. There is a wonderful playground for the kids to exhaust themselves. If you get bored at the campground you are smack dab in the middle of Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City, MD so you can take your pick. I don't think I would want to tent camp here, it looks pretty crammed and there is, again, no shade. The only downfall for us is that campfires are banned, but all in all we love this place!

Cape Henlopen State Park Campground - Lewes, Delaware

Good times at Cape Henlopen
|
We really enjoyed our stay at Cape Henlopen State Park. The sites on the outer loop offered some privacy and all sites were wooded. The ground was soft and sandy. The bugs weren't too bad at the site but out on the trails, ouch we got bit up. Take the hike to the great sand dune, it's worth it, it doesn't look like it belongs in Delaware.
The bathrooms were close and clean, but there was always a wait at the end of the "beach day" and there wasn't a convenient space arrangement for changing in there. This was my most major complaint. But it wasn't enough to ruin it or anything.
The park itself is super convenient, you could do the bay beach or the beach beach, which had bathrooms/showers/big snack bar/ beach rentals. There is an area for surf fishing, which is where we liked to lay out on the beach even t hough we weren't doing as such. There was hiking, biking, family activities, a nature center, Frisbee golf, I don't know what else you could ask for.
Lewes is adorable and only 5 mins away, and Rehobeth is about 15, depending on traffic. The outlets are even closer, so the campground is a convenient base of operations.

Loved it

My wife and I camped there in a tent for a night. I am a fairly novice camper and it was my wife's first time camping.
Pluses:
The campground is very beautiful and well maintained. The area is absolutely beautiful. Someone said to me that they hope people do not find out about this because it will spoil it.
Its located only a mile from the ocean.
The staff both at the park is very helpful.
There were no problems with noise after hours from other campers. (Quiet time is 10 pm to 7 am)
Restrooms were clean and plentiful.
Negatives:
The spaces are small, close together and have an interesting layout. There are about 6 rows of campsites separated by paved roads. If you have a camper or rv you would parallel park on the road and then there is a camping space in the woods.
The only utility hookup is water, there is no electricity in the spaces.
Even though quiet time was enforced for people, I was woken up at 6:30 am by a garbage truck. I think that quiet time should be enforced for everyone. Not just campers.
Location:
The park can be difficult to get to, especially if you are driving from NJ. Going down, we left North Jersey at 3:30 pm on a Friday and did not get there until 8 pm. We took the NJ Turnpike down and once we got into Delaware, we had almost an hour of 5 to 10 miles per hour bumper to bumper traffic.
Going home on a Saturday night we took the Cape May Ferry. The park is located about 2 miles east of the ferry terminal in Lewes DE. We left the park at 6:50 pm and got to the terminal at 7pm. We had reservations for the 7:45 ferry, however when we got there, we were told that we could get on a ferry that was leaving in 5 minutes, which we did. Once we got into NJ, we got on the Parkway on exit 0. By the time we got to Morris county, it was near midnight. so it was a 5 hour ride home.
Inspite of all the driving, we both absolutely loved the campground and cannot wait to go back there again.
