Delaware Seashore
Overview
Overview
Delaware Seashore State Park offers a unique coastal camping experience tucked between the Atlantic Ocean and the Rehoboth Bay. This state-run destination provides a rare opportunity to camp on a narrow strip of land, offering immediate access to both saltwater environments. The park maintains a natural, rugged atmosphere that prioritizes the beauty of the dunes and the sea, making it a peaceful retreat for those who appreciate the raw power of the Atlantic coastline.
Location & Surroundings
Situated between Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach, the park serves as a serene gateway to the Delaware coast. Visitors are surrounded by preserved barrier island landscapes, providing a quiet escape from the busy boardwalks of nearby towns. You are positioned perfectly to watch the sunrise over the ocean or enjoy a quiet sunset reflecting off the calm waters of the Rehoboth Bay, ensuring your stay feels immersed in the maritime environment.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground is designed to accommodate a variety of setups, offering full hookup sites that provide water, sewer, and electric service. The park includes modern bathhouses and laundry facilities for guest convenience during longer stays. Because of the coastal environment, many sites are paved to handle the elements, and the layout emphasizes proximity to the beach, allowing guests to reach the sandy shoreline with just a short walk from their rig.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the immediate beach access, visitors can explore the Indian River Inlet, a popular spot for world-class surf fishing and watching boats navigate the tides. The park features extensive trails for biking and hiking that wind through the dunes. For those wanting a change of pace, the lively boardwalks, tax-free shopping, and local dining options in Rehoboth Beach are just a short drive to the north, offering a balance of seclusion and entertainment.
Who This Park Is Best For
Delaware Seashore State Park is ideal for nature lovers and beach enthusiasts who prefer a simple, outdoor-focused vacation. It is perfect for travelers who want to fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves rather than resort amenities. If your travel style centers on kayaking, fishing, or walking the shoreline, this park provides the quintessential coastal Delaware experience, keeping you close to the water at every moment of your trip.

It's pretty much just a parking lot to camp or park your RV, camper van to tent. It is right up against the beach though so nice views. I was at the North inlet side and Mike the site host was very nice.

We enjoyed our stay. It’s beautiful at night with the bridge. Lots to do. Has kiddo playground. The sites are nice. Restroom and shower are clean. Good area to fish in. Has a full marina and an excellent restaurant. Dock Side bar and grill. Totally recommend it. Beach has a lovely view.

Love this beach! Always clean with easy shower access. My family has been coming here for generations and we always have a great time!

Not our jam for camping, we prefer woods. Friends had said how much they loved his SP so we tried it. Of course we arrived during a heat wave. Lots of campers all but jammed together. Easy access to bath houses scattered throughout. Gate attendants and camp hosts were very friendly. Easy access to the beach and to fishing. No fires at campsites (not that we wanted one when we were there). Bethany is an easy bicycle ride down the generous bike lane on route 1.

I personally did not have a positive experience. Given that it is a state park and had campground, I was expecting traditional camping set up in the woods. There were no trees, but more like a field. There were winds constantly, and it made it hard to enjoy sitting outside. With the bridge in sight, there were cars passing by constantly. No campfire was allowed.. I think this place works out well for someone who has a camper or trailer, and for those who want to stay near the beach. For me with tent, it wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for. I ended up booking another campsite.
