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

super nice wandering around here. got a 60° day here in early February and it seems like everyone had the same idea to go to Cape henlopen and ride their bikes or walk/hike around the park. can't imagine what it must be like during the summer. but yeah, there are a few hiking trails that connect to the Gordon pond loop. didn't even make it to Gordon pond because I started wandering out onto these small peninsulas that go out into the marsh. no trails just bushwhacking through there. really nice. not much wildlife I guess because it's still winter but still beautiful surroundings. but yeah nice State Park

Cape Henlopen was a great winter destination for a family that needed to get away and was a little cooped up from 2020 and 2021. We arrived between Christmas and New Year's, and the neighbors we found at our campsite were quiet, friendly and welcoming. The park itself was simple, but the playground was awesome for our 4-year-old. We went to the fishing pier and beach to walk around, and we were only a few minutes from exploring Lewes. We will be back!

Great beach, good social distancing over labor day.

Great, mostly unspoiled beach by the Atlantic Ocean- the best ocean. Wasn't that crowded when we went, on a weekday in late August.

Lots of room to spread out. Some areas have some waves!
