The insider read
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.
Near Rehoboth Beach
PrivateInsider tip · Best alternative when Delaware Seashore is booked solid (peak season — most weekends). 3 miles to Rehoboth boardwalk via shuttle (summer Mon-Sat). Pool + mini-golf on-site for rest days.
Near Millsboro
PrivateInsider tip · Glamping safari tents + RV resort hybrid on Rehoboth Bay — kayak launch right from the resort dock. Premium 'bay-front' RV sites face west; sunset is the show 7-8pm summer.
Near Hartly
PrivateInsider tip · Quiet inland alternative when shore parks are jammed. Family-owned 50+ years; the on-site mini-golf course was hand-built by the original owner. Cell signal weak — Wi-Fi works at the pavilion only.
Your next step
Lums Pond State Park Campground takes rigs up to 40 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.
