Looking for a RV park on 301

Either in Delaware or Maryland going south. We will be heading south in late October and we don't usually take this route but would like to.
Need an overnight stop somewhere off 301, will eventually get over to get back on I-95 south north of Richmond.
Thanks for any and all suggestions.

  • Well, like esyers suggested, Lum's Pond State Park near Glasgow, DE is your northern DE choice. After that, there is a KOA in Millersville, MD, about 20 minutes or so I'm guessing north of Annapolis, MD. Admittedly, I've never stayed at either one. But the proximity matches what you're looking for.

    We are in upstate NY in the Lake George region,(1 hour north of Albany) so I don't think we could make it to Roanoke Rapids.

    Not sure, haven't driven this route in many years but use to in our car, before the RV.
    We have taken the route down through to the Bay Bridge Tunnel and over to 95 or stay south on 17 stopping in NC and Savannah then over to 95.
    We also have gone down 88 to 81 and pick up 95 usually in Va.
    On our way north this year we went up 81 then 88, some of the stretches of road were so rough I literally felt like bobblehead that I have had neck and shoulder pain for two weeks.
    I felt it was important to find a new way to go.
