Splash in waterparks, hike around ponds, and fish for dinner on a camping trip near Middletown.
Campgrounds near Middletown are great for day trips to Lum Pond State Park or longer stays near Delaware state parks. Tents and big rigs can take advantage of convenient Middletown campground amenities like full hookups, picnic tables, flush toilets, hot showers, and a dump station. Or splurge for a night and rent a private yurt with multiple beds, a private deck, and a firepit area. Hikers and bikers won’t want to miss the Swamp Forest Trail that encircles the Lum Pond, while swimmers and anglers hang on the pier. There’s more freshwater fun to be had in Killens Pond State Park, roughly an hour south. Speed down 50-foot tall slides at the waterpark, rent a peddle boat or canoe, and watch for sunbathing snakes on a walk to the Pondside Bridge. The park’s campground offers full hookups at tent and RV sites, as well as private cabin rentals equipped with AC, heat, a full kitchen, and a full bathroom.
