Camping here was very enjoyable! Even though there is no electric or sewer, we had a great time here. The park was an Army base during WW2 and there are many historical sites to tour including barracks, bunkers, and towers overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The beaches are amazing! Lots of sand...and if you have a surf fishing permit, you can drive your 4-wheel drive vehicle onto the beach. There is a three mile paved bike trail, a hawk watch area, a nature center, picnic areas, and a public boardwalk with public restrooms and changing lounges so you can slip out of your wet bathing suit and into dry clothes after a day on the beach. There is also a fishing pier and bait shop, group youth camping and primitive camping. The public campground is kept very clean and is well patrolled by park rangers. Some sites are tight, but for the most part are well spaced. Most sites are well shaded, a few sites are in direct sunlight. Motor homes, trailers and pop-ups are not allowed off the pavement and are pull through parallel-parking only. Only tents are allowed to set up off pavement. You'll be camping in dunes converted to campsites under sand pines and the experience is rustic and natural. There is a ferry to Cape May, NJ located just outside the park entrance and the quaint little fishing village of Lewes (pronounced Lewis) is chocked full of quaint bistros, unique shops and sight-seeing opportunities. Grocery stores are only 10 minutes from the park. This is a gorgeous and relaxing place to escape to! Highly recommended! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here over a weekend in June this year. It was our first time at this park and we had a great time. The facilities were clean, the staff was great and the park was quiet. Since it was a summer weekend at the shore, the park was rather full. You need to drive to the beach because it is too far to walk with small children. We plan on going back next summer. Since this is a Delaware state park and we are not residents of Delaware, the rate per night was slightly higher than for state residents. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Great state park, large sites, sand and paved. Drive or bike down to the beach, too far to walk, but wasn't really a problem. Interesting former military base, with lots to explore in park. No camp store, and attendant not in much, but ice and firewood available at gate. Could use more baths, crowded at times. Large beach area, cleaned nightly, lifeguards on duty, concessions and restrooms available. Fishing pier, kayak rentals, lots of good programs/tours in park. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Drove up to campground and thought to myself should we turn around ??? 80% are permanent sites 20% transit. Noticed old trailers look like sitting for years, high grass, mold on trailers etc. However I thought we should give it a chance. The workers were very nice at check in. Went to site and it was large and on incline. Was able to level. The showers were clean however water very HOT, and could not turn down. During this weekend we noticed lots of people arriving saturday morning to their sites. They were cutting grass, power washing, etc... I must say, the park I saw friday night was much different when we left monday morning. We would go back as a second choice in that area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We made reservations at Tall Pines because everything else was full because of it being Memorial Day Weekend. Arriving late after a 3 hour drive, we were disappointed because the park was difficult to find in the dark. After we finally found the campground we were immediately disappointed with how dumpy it looked. There were large piles of leaves everywhere and the sites looked as if they were never mowed. The permanent sites gave it the look of a trashy trailer park. We eventually found the office and no one was there and we looked through the reservations that were left out with the site assignments and did not find ours. An after hours number was left on the door and we tried repeatedly to call but had low phone signal and when we did get through no one answered. We decided to take a site that was listed as being open. After maneuvering our way around the tight roads in the dark we finally found it. Our disappointment escalated when we saw the site taken. A passerby told us to just take another site that was open because they experienced the same thing when they arrived. My husband and I were not about to take a site for fear of someone showing up. Eventually a security guard happened to pass by and he was no help and barely spoke English. By now the Wal-Mart parking lot was looking pretty appealing. We wandered back out to Rte. 1 and called 3 Seasons. (We tried to get in there first when making reservations but they were booked). Thankfully they had a late cancellation and the guard agreed to hold the site until we got there. We ended up staying there for the weekend. When making my reservation with Tall Pines I paid for all 3 nights in advance. The next morning we called Tall Pines and they said to come on in and they will get us a site. I explained my disappointment and said that we'd be up to collect our full refund. He said that wasn't possible, they do not issue refunds from the office and that he'd have to put a request in with "corporate" in Baltimore. After numerous heated discussions with "corporate" I eventually got my refund 2 months later. Lesson learned: never pay in advance. I must say I'm sorry to see 3 Seasons close; they left a very large pair of shoes to be filled in the industry. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
