Very good state park COG. I was there 3 nights during the week and practically had the place to myself. I was in loop D, which their online reservation site said has pull throughs. Yes, but not for big rigs. You can pull through, but even with my rig, at a shade less than 29' counting hitch and spare tire hanging off the back, I had to back up to get it where I wanted to, on my site. Once there, I had a great site #2, with no one closer than about 10 sites away! I'd give it a 10 if it were about $5 cheaper. This close to $30 is on the high side for a state park.

My family and I had a fantastic time at Trap Pond. The park was quiet and well maintained- the prices were great - considering it is a state park with hook ups. Do not come to the park looking for a commercial setup - just the basics. There is a really nice lake that for a small fee you can rent a kayak, canoe, or take the pontoon boat ride (we did). I would strongly recommend this park for a family that just wants to relax. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We always enjoy camping at Trap Pond. You can fish from a dock or bring a boat and go out. You can rent a paddleboat from the other side of the pond. There is an awesome walking/bike trail around the pond. There is a small playground in the campground or a real big one on the other side of the pond. They are real strict on quiet time! We will go back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very clean park. We have camped here numerous times and have been very pleased. We like the wooded sites and there is access to the lake. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We camped 3 nights on C8 and C10. Originally we rented C13 and C15 for my brothers family and ours when we arrive the path to the bath house with a fence divided our sites. The staff were more then willing to allow us to switch to a more accommodating site. We like to set up face to face so our kids can all play we cook all our meals together and sit by one fire at night. The bath house was a little croweded but can't expect much less prime summer season. We loved it and the state parks are so affordable! We will definitely go again maybe fall.

Stayed at this cg for only 1 night. The so called pull-thru site I had reserved was a total joke! First, the sites are almost on the road, they are small & ours had a tree smacked in the middle making impossible to pull thru. Our tow vehicle & travel trailer would have been completely jack-knifed & sticking out into the road. Look at the site maps to see how these p/t's are designed to understand what I'm talking about. The roads are narrow & a lot of the sites are very small. Nice flat area to bike around though. The park is very shaded. The dump station is located on a horse-shoe road, which is isolated & even if someone's behind you, no one else is being blocked. We would not go back to this park. Killens Pond, north this cg, is much better! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Trap Pond campground is well run by the state. It sits on one edge of a lake. A short walk to the opposite bank of the lake you can rent canoes and paddle boats, which makes for a nice time because the far end of the cypress lake is quite beautiful. A canoe is a good choice because you can go back quite far on "canoe trails" as they call them. The campground itself is wooded and well maintained with adequate facilities. My only complaint would be that, like other Delaware state parks, the camp sites are a little close to each other. This was a problem on my weekend trip because the campground was full and there wasn't a lot of space to buffer you from the nearby kids. We had a a lot of kids tromping through our campsite unsupervised. If that is a problem, I would recommend taking a site on the far end away from the bathhouses and playground. At $27/night for out of state residents, the price is a bit steep, too... but the campground fills up so I guess the market can easily bear that amount. It was interesting that, while the campground was full, the park itself wasn't very busy. Clearly a lot of people camping there had no interest in the park itself. Just sitting all day at your picnic table stuffing your face all day isn't my style... but I can tell you it was for a lot of people camping last June. We camped here in a Tent.
This was our 3rd time camping here and we love it. The camp ground is on a small lake and all the sites are wooded. This time we went was the the day it opened for the year and some cleaning up was still needed, the sites had sticks and leaves on them. Really not a big deal. If you never been here before, you may want to ask to drive through and look at the sites if you have a big rig. Some of the sites have trees that may hinder your slides or long rig.

Large pull-thru sites available as well as back-in sites. Each loop has a pier for access to the lake. Enjoyed the time there. I'd also suggest taking the guided nature walk at the conservation center. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Each loop of the campground has its own dock, we were able to dock the canoe and kayak and get lunch at the camper. The pond is large and flows from a Bald Cypress swamp that provided very interesting paddling. Campground/restrooms were clean, Playground was very modern and well maintained. The only negative is that the sites closest to the water front tend to flood when it rains, however with the sandy soil it drains quickly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
