We stayed on the 'North' campground side, which is a bit larger than the South, and provides walking access via a path under the bridge to the beach behind a well kept restaurant/bar/bathroom complex. We were here over the Fourth of July - so our experience reflects a typical American summer holiday campground "fun" show. This place's savior is it's within a 1/2mile walk to a lovely beach location. You had to be careful not to hit them, but it was common to see them traipsing through your site, and looking for a place to dig a hole.Ī crammed in, near-to-the-beach, 'are you a regular here?' mentality, direct sunshine campground masquerading as a Delaware State Park. The local turtles, terrapins, were laying eggs all over the campground. The first nite (a Sunday) the bathrooms were horrendous, but they were cleaned and maintained a bit better during the week. We bought ice at the camp store, which had a few items for sale in addition to ice. We used the community campfire several times, and only had company one night - the firepit is large enough to share. Although all the sites are pull-through they are that tight. The two sites in front of ours stayed empty the entire week we were there (even tho the website showed no vacant spots) which was a good thing, because it made hooking up to our travel trailer and pulling out a bit easier without worrying about a camper in front of us.

Our site was close to the outskirts of the park, and although the park was "full" it was relatively quiet. You can drive to Ocean City for a night out, or go north for all the outlet shopping you can stand. The beach is so close you can bike there, or even walk if you don't have a lot to carry. However, despite that, it really is a nice location for the area. The sites are small, and campers are packed in tight. If you've read any reviews, you'll know that this campground is PACKED with campers.
