Delaware RV rental in December
December is flagged as a caution month in the Delaware seasonal calendar.
Mild spring and fall avoid both summer beach crowds and winter chill; coastal areas are pleasant for RVing.

Winter quiet returns to the coast. Short days, sea-smoke mornings, and holiday-dressed small towns make for gentle day trips more than camping.
What to do in December
- Holiday strolls in Lewes and New Castle
- Winter birds on Delaware Bay
- Clear-day lighthouse views at the Cape
Best-fit rigs: Motorhome · Truck or van
Know before you go
Most camping is closed for the season; the few open options run winter rules.
Hurricanes and nor'easters can affect the coast in late summer and fall. Summer traffic on Route 1 is heavy on weekends.

December tips for Delaware
Nights dip to freezing or below: insulated water hose, tank protection or a winterized rig, and extra propane.
Carry traction boards and check chain requirements before any mountain route.
Plan shorter driving days — winter-pattern daylight is limited and campground offices close early.
