Well.... try the following - Spring Gulch Campground in New Holland - LINK...Lake In Woods in Narvon ( close to New Holland- - LINK...
and Delaware State Seashore Park in Rehoboth DE - LINK... All are pet friendly ( we have a dog) and all are decent places to stay that are somewhat close to you
I've found Spring Gulch and Lake in the Wood to be extremely expensive - $70/night and up during the peak season. There is no way I can get enough out of a CG to pay that amount. Especially now since we don't usually go with kids.
Delaware State Seashore Park is nice with full hookups, but the sites are fairly small and there is virtually no shade/tree coverage. And since it is right on the inlet between the bay and ocean, it is almost always very windy. But it is a beautiful location if you like fishing and the ocean, since you can walk 5 minutes right to the beach. Unfortunately we could not get a site there this past June when we camped in DE.
We're heading to Tuckahoe State Park in the eastern shore of MD next weekend for the first time. There are a lot of hiking and biking trails, and we got a site with electric for less than $30/night. I'll report back with an assessment.
