Killens Pond

I thought this cabin was going to be haunted based on the few pictures I saw from the state park. Lo and behold, the only thing spooky was how long I slept in silence in these spectacular little cabins. These are PERFECT for a solo trip to hide from your family, a cute get away for two (or three? 🤷 👀) or the risky family trip. You DO need to bring any and everything you intend to use, but town is also 10 minutes away so don’t freak out. The trails, common areas, etc were all tidy with barely a leaf out of place. Warning: we went the third week of October and the trees drop their acorns all day which is cool. At night with a tin roof… you will awake alarmed because it sounds like a meteor ended your fragile life. But you’re fine. Bring a sound machine and fan anyway. Last, but certainly not least , the dude working the campground store/check-in is as much as a gem as this state park is. Excellent visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The campground is nice though the sites in the middle of the loops back right up to a site in the next loop. We were in D6 which was nice and has a slight view of the pond. The bath houses are clean but showers do not offer a lot of privacy.

We stayed in the cabins, they were very nice. Clean and well cared for. Trails are well marked and well kept. Nature center is small but has some neat friends and great information. We visited after Labor Day during the week so we were unfortunately unable to kayak on the pond. My one complaint is the lack of privacy from the other cabins. The cabins are fairly close together, which isn't a problem in and of itself, but the fire pits for each cabin are in the front and right by the path, so when your cabin neighbor has a toddler they refuse to control he only had to wander about 50' before he's at your site and trying to go inside. I feel like putting fire pits behind the cabins would give little more of a sense of privacy.

I loved Killens Pond! We stayed in mid-May, and the weather was perfect. The cabins come with T/P; you will need to pack everything else. The floors of the cabin aren't mopped by maintenance, and sometimes sticky. The porch was so dusty and filled with dead bugs, but supplied with a broom and mop, easy to fix. A/C is awesome. The cabin fit two adults comfortably. Felt very safe, needed a key code to get into the cabin, and there was another chain lock on the inside of the door. Trash dumping is very easy. Trails were nice and cleared- we did the full hike around the pond (abt 3 miles, I'm guessing) & it was very scenic!

We are a family of five with three small boys, while they are young. We have been staying in cabins, and these are some of the best along the Northeast corridor. Climate control, in cabin hot showers, kitchenette with microwave, everything you could need. There is a nice playground, awesome nature trails, really cool nature center and quick access Dover and Rehoboth Beach attractions.
