Cape Henlopen State Park


One of our favorite places to go camping. The State Park is located in Lewes, DE near the coast. We stayed July 3rd - July 6th for the Fourth of July weekend. Check out is 12 noon.

Bathrooms
Bath House number 2 is nicer and cleaner the number 1

Sites
Nice size. Sand and pine trees. Campers must park on the road in front of the site. Some have full sun. We enjoyed 116 and or friends stayed on 110. Very nice. Partial shade.

Biking
Good family biking. Paved trail runs about 3 miles around the campground. Good for kids.

GEOCaching
This visit to the cape we found geocaching really taking off from previous years. Lots of treasures to find.

Take advantage of the park activities. The kids loved Seining the Bay where they participated in throwing a net into the bay and discovering the creatures that live there. We even found a sea cucumber! Other years we coordinated our trip to the living history programs at Fort Miles. The kids enjoyed seeing the soldiers and hearing their stories. My son especially loved seeing and hearing about the weapons.

Happy Camping,
The Stefanelli Family
