Always love the beach here. Bathhouse is always good to use for sand removal and having a bathroom is nice.

Great beach. Great experience. And they even have a concession stand. You don't have to pay to use the showers and the parking lot is usually never full. The only down side is there is large amount of people that don't wear their masks. But otherwise it's great! read more

This is our go to beach area! 3 1/2 hour to 4 hour drive for us here in Central Pennsylvania but worth the trip! Beach is clean with plenty of lifeguards on duty. They have flushable toilets and showers for a quick rinse after a day covered in sand! No smoking on the beach. We always bring a picnic lunch but they do have a few grills for use and picnic tables. They have small bags for you to take your trash with you, there are NO trash cans. read more

If you're looking for a convenient location near to Rehoboth Beach, then this is a terrific spot. The staff were really nice, too, and there seemed to be fun programs for families each night (including a really nice guitar-playing gentleman, who serenaded the kids making s'mores at the one campfire allowed). However, I tend to prefer campgrounds with an outdoorsy or remote, natural feel. So, while my stay here was fine, this wasn't my favorite spot for a getaway. We found the grounds more than a little crowded, a little louder than preferred, ultimately making it hard to really escape into a true camping feel. Pros: clean, modern and free showers; friendly staff; easy access to road, beautiful sunset over inlet. Cons: no campfires allowed; consistent noise pollution from bridge; no trees or other natural elements (except inlet which is a short, pretty walk); campsite dominated by big RVs. read more

It is a parking lot with nothing more than gravel parking spaces with a little sand mixed in to pitch a tent. If you must camp here. MAKE SURE YOU GET A "TENT SITE"!! The other sites are literally parking spaces in close proximity to the road where "fisherman" drink till midnight on the side of the road not recognizing the 10:00 pm quite hours. There is no parks rangers enforcing any kind of smoking, noise or general ignorance from the other campers. The bridge is also beautifully illuminated by a 300 foot night lite which blocks out any type star gazing or ability to sleep in the dark without a coffin. The road noise is wonderful as well. Since you are literally 2 to 3 feet from your neighbors, you will hear every breath and clink or bang of a pan or slamming of the door 5 spots down. DO NOT under any circumstances think you will get to bed before midnight here. It only gets two stars because the staff and hosts are nice. Other than that. This is not a state park, it is a rest stop!!! read more

Great location!! Easy walk to the beach. Will definitely be back again. Camp sites were a little bit tight to maneuver in and out of. Bathrooms were HORRIBLE! Dirty. No soap. Gross. Also surprised that they don't offer a recycling bin when leaving. We recycle on every trip and ended up throwing into the normal garbage dumpster at the end of our trip. read more

This is a nice place to make a quick stop / picnic bathrooms are available. You have to pay to get in we came in after 5 so it was free. They have showers here after swimming. I didn't see any life guards so I'm not sure how safe it is considering how big the waves are. If your looking for a place to spend the day I wouldn't pick this park if your looking for a late afternoon /sunset breeze on the beech I would recommend it. The major problem is I didn't see a single trash can so at the end of the evening everyone had trash everywhere. Overall mediocre did the trick for our BBQ after swimming in ocean at another beach that didn't allow grilling .. read more

I have been going to this state park for many years. It has hot showers and a concession stand. All Delaware State Parks have a "carry in carry out" policy, meaning that any trash you have leaves with you. They provide trash bags in the entrance and at the pay booth. This beach is clean and actually off the beaten path. Alot of people don't even know its there!! read more

Delaware Seashore State Park - Delaware Seashore Park. - Parks Near Me - Dewey Beach, Delaware

Great place to stop for regular fishing, surf fishing, and also bait & tackle. They have a large bait & tackle shop and if you catch any fish, they will clean them as well. The new Indian River Inlet bridge is amazing and light up at night. The beach section is very nice but will get really crowded around holidays. The best part of this Delaware State Park is the fishing. You fish off the rock piers from both sides but be warned that the Indian River Inlet hosts one of the strongest and dangerous currents on the east coast. read more

The only thing wrong here is the lack of laundry facilities. The entire south side RV park has only 2 washers & 2 dryers for the entire park. This is ridiculous. Step up and resolve this. There is room for several stack units in this laundry room. read more

Here's the thing about DSSP: if you want trees, wildlife, open flames, or actual on-beach camping, don't come. You will be disappointed. If you're coming here for a campsite conveniently close to the beach with friends and/or family, then you will have fun. Pack lots of food and drinks in a cooler if you're tent camping, along with something soft to sleep on (as the ground is very hard beneath the tents). They allow two cars per campsite, and there is room for 2-3 relatively accommodating tents on each site. Bring bug spray!!! The bathrooms are a lot cleaner than one would expect, and not far from where your spot will be set up. I will be coming back here because the beach it's near is beautiful and the bridge is illuminated nicely at night. If you are still unsure about whether or not to give this place a shot, I recommend going for one night with a group first. This way it isn't too tolling if you hate it because it's only one night, and the cost is split amongst multiple people. Have fun! read more

I have not camped here but seems to be popular place. On the water, beach within walking or bike, fishing, close to Dewey, Bethany, Rehoboth, Ocean City MD. A LOT to do in this area. read more

Lovely family friendly campground. Spent three days here camping with my family of four, which includes two toddlers, over the Fourth of July holiday. Mostly families and retirees camping here, and that made it pleasant. No loud music, drunk people, or people being loud and obnoxious. 300 yards to a clean lovely beach. Small well stocked camp store, nice grounds, good fishing, and just overall a good time. Camp hosts were helpful and gracious. Had hot showers and a laundry mat. Some of the bath houses are being remodeled. Nice new playground and a volleyball court. Great family place. We will return!! read more

One of the nicest state parks in Delaware. I have never camped here, but it's a nice place to go for a day at the beach. Most of what I've done have been events--there are always programs going on, from guided hikes to kids' activities to historical reenactments at the lifesaving station (which I HIGHLY recommend). read more

I went to State Park with some girlfriends on 8/7/16. The atmosphere is what you'd expect at any beach but felt a little more relaxed than nearby Bethany Beach. It might have something to do with the lack of a boardwalk. (It is important to note if you're a beach goer that needs additional entertainment beside the sand and waves the State Park is probably not a good option for you.) The places to purchase food is somewhat limited. The bathrooms can be a bit of a walk. However in contrast to Bethany Beach, the parking (which you have to pay for) is plentiful. The beach at the State Park also felt cleaner to me. In a nutshell, no complaints I had a nice beach day with my friends. read more

I really like this beach. I tend to like beaches that don't have a boardwalk - they are calmer and more serene. This beach was very clean. They have great showers and bathrooms nearby. I was in total bliss the entire day. The parking is plentiful. The only catch is the $10 parking charge for out of state cars. The fee doesn't bother me as it affords me a relaxing beach day. Make sure you check out the ocean side beach, it's beautiful! read more

I just love this beach!! Located right Not as packed like the beaches of Bethany and Rehoboth. The sand is a little coarse but still beautiful. If it gets a little overwhelming and crowded head south towards the fishing beach which is usually empty in spots. The only disadvantage is that there are no life guards on the fishing beach and the rip tides can be harsh. Bathrooms are available at the wooden pavilion and there is a really good restaurant there. read more

I can only speak about one of their events we came for... bonfire and FREE live music under the Indian River Inlet Bridge which runs over the state park. It was awesome!! We brought coolers with brews and blankets and chairs, bubbles and chalk for the kids. We watched a surprisingly really great band cover lots of classics and watched the sunset over the water. We danced like fools and the kids ran around. We then walked towards the beach for a s'more bonfire provided by the park. Being under that fascinating, bright blue bridge at night was pretty cool too. The whole night cost us $8 a car load to park. That's it!! It was a great, rare cheap night on vacation. I know they have camping and fishing which I can't say much about...yet, but I would definitely check out the events online and come for them. We all had a fantastic time! There were clean, restrooms very close by and it was a quick walk to the sand from the parking lot! read more

Well, at first we thought this was a real park with lots of trees, trails, etc.But it turns out this is just an area with lots of beaches. Still really nice, just bit deceiving to call it a park haha ^^ Had a great time exploring all the different beaches here though! :)) read more

This place is not scenic, nor does it have a fun party scene, it's just a stretch of pavement filled with RVs located under a noisy bridge. It's near Dewey Beach, though, so we drove up from DC after work on Friday, rolled in late and then rolled out early Saturday morning to enjoy the ocean. And we most certainly would have, if it hadn't been cold and rainy. The woman who took our $38 at the gate was jolly, and the couple we met near the latrines were nice, too, if disappointed by "all the old people." Quiet time is at 10 p.m. Dogs are allowed. Get a tent spot if you're sleeping in a tent so you don't feel like an ant among all the gigantic RVs ("The Conquerer," "Nature Invader," etc.). read more

This campground is basically a sand lot that reminds me of tailgating at a concert. When it rained most of the campground was underwater, felt bad for the families in tents. Only one sink in the bathroom worked. You are camping 100 yards from a massive traffic bridge, so if you are looking for peace and quiet this aint the place. No grills so bring your own. But hey for $40 during a weekend in summer and I could walk to the beach .... I dealt with the above just fine. read more

The campground at Delaware Seashore State Park is pretty much just a sandy parking lot. The are no trees, no privacy, and no open fires allowed. My wife and I stayed in the tent camping area, which is the closest part of the campground to the bridge. The traffic noise didn't bother us much since it was constant but there was a slight blue glow from the bridge all night. For some reason there were a ton of other young lesbian couples also staying in the tent camping area. Also a few large families who stayed up late, got up before 7 am and we're really noisy. The RV area tended to be more families and older folks. Luckily, the campground is very close to Dewey beach, which we really enjoyed. if you opt to drive over to the beach, your campground tag gets you into the beach for free. The campground bathrooms were okay, but we found the bathrooms at the beach to be nicer, so we showed there after swimming in the ocean instead of using the campground showers at night. One more thing to keep in mind, the campground floods during heavy rain. We arrived right after a big storm and most of the roads and some of the tent sites were completely underwater. The woman at the gate suggested that if our site was underwater, we should just go out for dinner and hope for the best when we returned. Luckily our site (T22) drained but the group in the site at the far southeast corner of the campground (T21) was not so lucky and had barely any dry ground to pitch their tent. Honestly, we will probably come back to this campsite because the location is good, it's close to the beach and downtown Rehobeth, and the price is much more affordable than any of the nearby hotels. It's not someplace I would want to hang out but it's okay just as a spot to pitch a tent. read more

Love the beach and camping. Beach, store, restaurant, and playground, were all outstanding and well maintained. The park staff were very friendly. Which leads to my main complaint. The bath houses. Nobody is checking them, let alone cleaning them. There was a backed up toilet the day we got there (friday) and was still backed up the day we left (Monday). When i said something to the host on duty he did not seem at all concerned. And nothing was done. Gross! If you are in an RV and don't plan to use the facilities this place great. read more

In regards to camping out yes, you can walk to the beach from the campsite, but it's not as close as you would think. And the bridge ....like other reviewers it's literally right next to the bridge! We turned around and drove over to assateque state park. If you're looking for beach like scenery and quiet you might want to go elsewhere. read more

Pleasant, but hard to compare to La Jolla and North Shore. Tried to go running over the bridge (Highway 1). Tried is the operative word because only cars and bikes are allowed, so ....I need to swim under it? read more

This is pretty much the equivalent to camping in a Walmart parking lot. I don't even know how this place constitutes a park as there is no green space. It's basically a trailer park on the side of the road. Unfortunately we didn't realize this until we arrived and had booked two nights of camping. Not only were the campsites $40 (more than any I've been to) but they were non refundable. The staff was nice but pretty ignorant. Apparently this is a good place for fishing but that's about it. I would strongly recommend Assateague National Seashore about 40 min south if you're looking to camp near a beach. read more

This wasn't as bad as expected. It's cheap and easy to get to but it is so close to the highway. But remember you can shashay your tan behind up to Cape henalope for FREE with your paid camp tix. Just get a thingy. Thing. The bathrooms are large and also useful. I'll stop there. read more

Took our first RV out for our first outing. Everything was pretty simple. Decent space and amenities. Relatively close walk to the beach. Made reservation the day before and can't beat the price. Check in is as easy as it gets and check out is easier. read more

Come here every year to surf fish and enjoy the water. It helps that I have a beach tag for my vehicle so just drive out onto the beach waterfront. That helps eliminating to have to look for parking and dragging my gear to beach. read more

We enjoy coming here, and have camped here twice (in a trailer). The facilities are quite nice. However, this weekend has been much busier, and it's clear that the quiet hours are just a suggestion. We brought earplugs, but they weren't enough to block the bongo drums (literally) at 1130 pm. I would not recommend coming on a summer weekend if you want it to be a restful one. read more

We always looked at this state park and said who would want to camp in the open. We booked here and loved it. It's a short walk to the beach. Had my coffee in the morning along the inlet. Watched the dauphins come thru the inlet while relaxing at night. Great fishing too. Nice walks on the beach. Lots of things to do without leaving the park. There is also a restaurant on the beach. Lots of activities for the kids. Ok you have to drive to those but they are still on state park land. We will be back. read more

I love Delaware Seashore and all of the state parks in Delaware. However, my last stay was at the Marina Cottages and my disappointment was overwhelming. We had NO PRIVACY as locals were allowed to stand basically in our backyard talking laughing drinking ALL NIGHT LONG. When we called to complain we were told that they were allowed to be there. That really put a damper on our entire trip. If you want quiet hours and some semblance of privacy you are better off staying in the campground for $17 dollars a night. For $400 a week we didn't get that. read more

Great location near the beach. We stayed on the north side near the coast guard station. Playground was well kept. Bath house was clean. Looked like there was a laundry building but it was locked up (probably because it's off-season). Easy walk over to the beach. Not a lot of shade so be ready for that. Each access on and off state highway. read more

We've been this this State Park a couple of times and it is a nice enough beach with decent facilities, as well as access to water sports.

The North Inlet side of the campground for RV owners is perhaps a best kept secret in Delaware! Bring your Rv right to the beach for $40/night, awesome! Have been here twice this season and enjoy the short walk to the beach (2-3 mins?), the spacious sites, extremely quiet nights and proximity to other attractions. I don't fish but there's a walkway where many fish throughout the day. Playground is nice and I would give it a 5-star review if only you could buy more than ice at the main gate. So come fully stocked. read more

we love this stretch of beach for 4x4ing,...........on the weekends its packed, however on the weekdays and off season you can drive on and have a mile or so each way with nobody around............You must have a beach tag, that is good for the calander year, and certain equipment, (shovel, tow rope, etc), you also must be fishing, ;)........Its alot of fun,......just research what you need...........and PLEASE, take your tire pressure down to 20 psi or so.............there are plenty of air stations as you depart.....I've found Faithful Steward, and Conquest Beach the best areas read more

DSSP is a large state park with camping, beaches, fishing, boating, etc. We have camped here for the past seven years. Yes the RV campsites are close together. If you have camped at Castaways it is about the same amount of space only it costs $40. per night and you walk to the beach which is beautiful. They have new tent campsites that are contained in an area closer to the inlet, they seem really nice. There are no trees, the park is located between the ocean the inlet and the bay. The location is great, between Dewey/Rehoboth and Bethany. We have been fortunate, have never had a problem with noise or ignorant neighbors (however this could happen anywhere). My only concern is the security, the fact that the campground is next to the inlet fishing area and that anyone can park and walk right into the campground. The campground is run in part by camp hosts, some have been good, some clueless. For the money this is one of the best 50 amp full hookup RV campground options In the area. read more
