What campers say
Cape Henlopen State Park Campground offers excellent access to beaches, extensive bike trails and scenic hiking, making it a strong choice for active families and cyclists. Sites are often relatively close together; many visitors appreciate the wooded setting but should expect limited privacy and tight parking in tent loops. Bathhouses and hot showers are generally reported as clean, though some note communal layouts, limited privacy and short water timers. Practical tradeoffs: no full hookups or on-site Wi-Fi, bring your own firewood, non-resident vehicle reentry fees apply, and reports of ticks and occasional noisy large groups exist.

📖 About This Campground
Cape Henlopen State Park Campground in Lewes Delaware offers partial (water) and primitive (no water, electric, or sewer) hookup RV and tent camping in a pine-covered dunes area near the Delaware Bay. New electric hookups and walk-in sites, an improved camp store and improved pedestrian access will be opened in 2017.
All of the campgrounds provide drinking water outlets, modern shower and sanitary facilities, and sewage dumping stations. Campsites are equipped with a picnic table and may include a fire ring (campfire regulations). Many have electric and water hookups.
Tent campers have 20 new walk-in sites in the area adjacent to the Walking Dunes Trail and Gordons Pond Trail. A new lot has been built for campers to park their vehicles. For the RV sites road patterns have been changed and the roads widened to accommodate larger RVs. Sites now have concrete pads with picnic tables and fire rings.

Park has NO electric hookups. Generators are prohibited. Water available at each campsite. The RV campsites are parallel parking on the paved roadway, tent sites are off the road on the sandy soil. Walking distance to a WW2 coastal observation tower and Fort Miles. Bike paths to the beach. Some of the sites are level. Most of the tent sites are shaded. We like to go in the spring & fall when we don't need air conditioning.
