5 of the Best Delaware RV Parks

Delaware is the state that started it all. The home of the legendary ride of Paul Revere and is chock full of American history to discover. The First State has some nice accommodations for your RV trips as well from the rural life to the beach life – the smallest state packs a punch for those looking to get away from it all to kick back and relax.

Let’s look at my top five favorite RV parks and campgrounds so you can enjoy the beauty of this small wonder of a state.

Cape Henlopen State Park (Lewes)

If you to walk in history, then take a few steps down the beach of Cape Henlopen in Lewes.

The State Park doesn’t have any electrical hookups, but many of the sites do come with water, all situated on pine-covered dunes. There are showers and a dump station available. 

Enjoy the beaches of America’s forefathers and scout for rare bird species. Explore the Seaside Nature Center and its five 1,000-gallon tanks, interact with the exhibits and look at the Osprey Cam. Cape Henlopen is also the eastern terminus of the American Discovery Trail if you’re ready to start on the 6,800-mile journey.

With these facilities and activities, Leisure Point has been awarded five stars by Coast to Coast six years running.

The grounds provide 130 sites with electric and water hookups. There are dump stations, showers, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a boat ramp so you can put in.
