Lums Pond

Melaney Scott-Cosden

Unmatched! I haven’t been camping in a while, but this camp ground is better than any I’ve been to. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, regardless of what time of day we used them. The grounds were clean and organized. All areas were labeled and easy to access. I loved the drive up to site parking. Easy to load and unload. SUPER INEXPENSIVE! Lots of fun things to do! We’ll be back this week!!!

We spent a long weekend with family at Lums Pond State Park Campground and so glad we did. We paid $46 per night plus fees for a FHU 50 Amp Back-in site (#56). This place is a gem, even among nice state parks. THINGS I LIKED: - Easy access from I-95 - Beautiful park setting with fantastic site — spacious, level, good-working hookups, and paved - Friendly and helpful staff - Great state park with lots to do (kayaking, biking, and more) THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH: - There’s nothing we didn’t like about this place WOULD WE COME BACK? - Absolutely, this is a nice place with plenty to do

This is by far the nicest campsite in a state park we have every stayed at, and among the nicest campsites we have ever stayed at, period. The campground is beautiful, with plenty of green space, walking trails, a camp store, spotless bathrooms and showers, a playground, a laundry, and of course, Lums Pond. It is worth going out of your way to stay at. We actually stayed here twice this summer, once on our way north, and then on our way back south, so I have included both sites. Site 69. Back-in, asphalt, FHU, 50/30/20. Yes, 50 amp, water, and sewer, in a state park! 4” sewer with metal step cover. Pedestal tall enough for Watchdog to clear ground. Good water pressure. Picnic table, fire ring. Lovely campsite with mature trees. Generous spacing between sites. So generous that when I tried to take a photo showing the sites on either side, even after walking across the road and using the wide angle lens on the phone, I couldn't get them both in the photo. The site does slope toward the front and toward the right slightly, so I did put a couple of rubber blocks under each front tire, but then was able to auto-level. I might have been able to just auto-level without the blocks, but it was easy enough to use them just to avoid the hassle. Site 23, back-in, FHU, 50/30/20. Yes, 50 amp, water, and sewer, in a state park! 4” sewer with metal step cover. Pedestal tall enough for Watchdog to clear ground. Good water pressure. Picnic table, fire ring. Lovely campsite with mature trees. Generous spacing between sites. The site does slope toward the back and toward the right, so I did need to put a board under each rear tire, but then was able to auto-level. The pond is just a short walk along a path through the woods behind the campsite. The laundry has three washing machines and four clothes dryers. Washers are 1.75 per load, the dryers are $1.50 per load. Verizon 2 bars LTE, 27.1 Mbps down, 0.72 Mbps up AT&T: 17.68 Mbps down, 2.14 Mbps up Lots of OTA TV, all nice and clear. CBS and NBC, but no ABC or PBS. This is definitely a park / campground that we would return to, even if it meant going out of our way.

Peaceful place to camp. We arrived late at night and left by 8 am on an east coast road trip. Establishment was clean and easy to hook up the RV.

Lum’s Pond is a lovely, peaceful campground and we really enjoyed our brief stay. The site was level and hookups worked as they should. We had several interactions with staff and campground hosts and all were very favorable. Really nice people who take pride in their work. The little store is nicely stocked and very convenient. We were unable to have a campfire due to a prolonged drought and state fire ban, which made total sense with all the dried leaves. We would definitely return to this campground in the beautiful state of Delaware.
