The insider read
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.

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

Match the campground's size limit and hookup level to a vehicle category, then plan the rest of the trip.
Keep exploring
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.
Near Georgetown
StateInsider tip · Equestrian camp — bring your horse and hitching post. Tent camping allowed at the equestrian sites if available. Quiet alternative to the busy beach parks; 12,500 acres of forest trails connect.
Your next step
Delaware Seashore State Park Campground takes rigs up to 50 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.
