Delaware Camping Near Beach Suggestions

Our favorite is Delaware Seashore State Park North Campground. It’s a short walk to the beach. Cape Henlopen is also nice. Has more shade, but no sewer hookups. Also a long walk or short drive to beach.

I may never get that far north but is there a good rv park near Ft. Delaware. I would like to see the pow camp where my grtgranddad was held in 1864/65

Or you can go a few miles farther south and visit Assateague State park in Md.

Folks
Considering a part two of my trip in September. Any suggestions for a nice CG for a FW near the ocean? Also any crab shack recommendations would also be nice.

Happy Trails

Just a guess - you are looking for something withOUT full hookups?

So Delaware - Cape Henlopen State Park or Assateague NP are likely your only options for the Beach, keep in mind that in September A/C is often still needed at the Beach :)

If FHU's are needed Delaware state Park at Indian River Inlet will work.

Tight but Very Popular - Meaning reservations needed.

See all three here on map

Commercial the only thing in Rehoboth is Big Oaks - OK - but not the beach and not very Beachie.

Hope this helps,

we go 3-4 times a year

Any additions??

There are other decent CGH's in the area . But none are as close to the beach as Assateaque or DE seashore.
Castaway's Massey's Landing, Frontier town. are options that are a short drive to the beach.

And food-wise, it isn't a crab shack, but some of the best food I've eaten coast to coast has been at Mancini's Brick Oven Pizzeria and Restaurant. I always get a brick oven pizza and my wife always gets some kind of italian pasta dish. It's been absolutely amazing each time we've gone (probably a dozen times now).

Farther south but Kiptopeke State Park has full hookups It is on the most southern part of the DelMarVa pinninsula. It's a short walk to the beach.
