Lakeside camping in Delaware guide

Overview

Waterfront camping on one of Delaware's lakes or ponds offers some of the best views in the state. Although Bellevue State Park's Bellevue Lake is available for day-use only, it's possible to choose your camping style all over the state, from lakefront RV campsites and tent camping to cute cabins, cottages, and yurts that put you right on the water's edge. The most popular spots include Trap Pond State Park, Lums Pond State Park, the Lake Como Recreation Area in Blackbird State Forest, and Silver Lake outside Rehoboth Beach near the ocean, but no matter where you go lake camping, you're likely to find tent and RV campsites, electric hookups, picnic areas, and good times.
