We’ve been coming here for over 5 years…usually once or twice per year and love it! Sites are a good size and there are fun trails and the pond is beautiful.

Such a beautiful fun place to camp! Very spacious sites! Camp bathrooms/ showers were so clean and spotless! So many things to do

It was my first experience in a Delaware State Park. We went midweek in October, tent camping but we got a full hookup site so we'd have electric, could park on the site and be close to the bathroom. We had a good time, I really enjoyed the campfire, and we took a walk on the C&D canal trail that was a short drive away. There were remnants of RV toilet paper on the pavement at the site and I saw a guy have a little spillage when he unhooked his RV, I guess that's a thing? So watch where you are walking if you tent camp on an RV site. A previous reviewer said they had problems with stink bugs, we did not, but there had been a previous cold night. Staff was nice, the restrooms were extremely clean. We were surrounded by RVs but it's an older crowd everyone was extremely considerate, no one was playing music or anything like that. It was a big improvement over previous camping experiences. Overnight there was a lot of airport noise, camper's dogs barking (I'm sure some wildlife set them off) and loud cars speeding outside of the park. I could have done without them emptying the recycling dumpster at what seems at what seems like 3:30 am. I probably would have slept through most of these things if I had been warmer, but that's my fault. I think I would choose a site that did not back to the woods because there was lots of rustling in the underbrush overnight. I got valuable insight by calling staff ahead and they were very willing to answer all my questions. Tent sites are only a slight walk from assigned parking spots. I estimate it is a 5 minute or less walk from the tent sites to the bathroom. I was told that prices were raised and turned into more of an RV park because they had problems with drinking and parties in the past. It looks like they had two yurt sites but only one yurt it was up. Maybe they take it down for the winter? It was a $4 reservation fee online which was okay with me.

This is an awesome campground! The sites are HUGE and FHU. The roads and sites are paved. Our site had a lot of sand, so we needed to put mats down and there was a major stinkbug infestation (in the park and surrounding area), but I still consider this to be a 5 star experience! $29 a night and close to a very nice bike trail that took us into the lovely historic Delaware City.

The State of Delaware should be proud of this facility. The camp site is very open with partial shaded spots around the perimeter. Also the sites are well spaced out. Everything is spotlessly clean and you constantly see staff cleaning showers and restrooms as well as cutting grass. I didn't see one piece of litter in our two days here. All sites are full hook up. The State and staff here deserve 5 stars.
