The insider read
Site of the WWII Fort Miles — concrete observation towers still stand on the dunes. Sites near the bathhouse fill first; loop F is shaded pine sites that stay 5°F cooler than the open dune loops.
Original analysis from PickRV — synthesised from public sources you can verify, pulling the operational details competitor guides typically skip.

Book it right
PickRV doesn't handle campground bookings — reserve direct through the official channel so policies and cancellations flow through one record.

Every fact above is sourced from the managing agency's canonical page. Cross-check fee, season, and size limit before you depend on them.
Match the campground's size limit and hookup level to a vehicle category, then plan the rest of the trip.
Keep exploring
Near Rehoboth Beach
StateInsider tip · Camp between the ocean and Indian River Bay — every site has water views one direction or the other. The 'Indian River' loop has the surf-fishing access; check DE 4WD beach permit requirement before driving on the sand.
Near Felton
StateInsider tip · Only inland Delaware state park with both camping + a water park. Camping fee includes adjacent waterpark admission (verify current rate). Sites near the pond have the bass-fishing dock; 1-mile loop trail around the water is paved for strollers.
Near Laurel
StateInsider tip · Northernmost natural stand of bald cypress in North America. Pontoon-boat sunset tour from the marina dock is the unique-fish experience. Sites 1-30 are pond-side; sites 31-50 are wooded with more privacy.
Near Bear
StateInsider tip · Closest state-park camp to Wilmington + Newark. Treetop adventure course on-site for kids; book online a day ahead. Sites in the 'Lumber' loop (named for the historic sawmill site) are pet-friendly; other loops are quiet-zone.
Your next step
Cape Henlopen State Park Campground takes rigs up to 45 ft, so what you arrive in decides whether the loop works at all. If you don't own one, the same trip runs on a motorhome rented in Delaware.
Nothing in Delaware is bookable today. Dated requests are what we take to owners, so give us the window you actually want — you get one email the day a rig covers it, and nothing else.
