Overall the park is nice and there’s a lot of things to do. We stayed at the campground in the tent only section. The nature center, playgrounds and free bike rentals were amazing. The campground is beautiful, clean bathhouses. But please beware of the ticks. Found several on my dog and on 3 of the 5 people in my party.

This is a beautiful park. We camped in site E08 was perfect for our 29 ft camper and truck parked sideways. This park is perfect for biking or walking. So much to do in Lewes or hop down to Rehoboth. Your at the Beach so there is sand everywhere.

The State Park is wonderful, beautiful beaches, fantastic trails for hiking and biking. Great for families. So much to see and do. The town of Lewes is a must visit. The only reason it gets 3 stars is because the campsite is cramped. Really packed in. Don’t expect any privacy camping here.

Took the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. On 1/2 mile from drop off. Very nice State Park in a beautiful area. Sites are close. Lots of trails for hiking or biking. History too. Beach real close. Lewes 2 miles down the road.

The beach was absolutely gorgeous although it was still too cold to swim. We (my hubby & I) put our feet in the ocean. Such a little thing but so cool. The bike trail is a 3 mile loop. The fort miles museum exhibit was cool. I liked it
