About Delaware

Delaware gets skipped on a lot of RV itineraries because of its size, and that's a mistake. The First State packs Atlantic coastline, historic towns, and quiet natural areas into a footprint you can cross in an afternoon: beach resorts in Sussex County, farm country through Kent County, and the estates of the Brandywine Valley up in New Castle County. Its position on the East Coast makes it an easy add to almost any mid-Atlantic route, for a beach week or a history-heavy detour.

Southern Delaware is where most RVers land, and the beaches explain why: Rehoboth, Bethany, Fenwick Island. Coastal campgrounds put you on the Atlantic or the Delaware Bay for swimming, fishing, and boating. Cape Henlopen and Delaware Seashore state parks deliver the natural version, dunes and long trail systems, while private resorts near Lewes and Dewey Beach trade wilderness for amenities, boardwalk access, restaurants, and the state's tax-free shopping.

Inland, central Delaware revolves around Dover, the state capital, with the Dover International Speedway, a cluster of museums, and the wildlife refuges strung along the Delaware Bay shoreline. RV parks here suit travelers chasing history, birds, or a race weekend. The land flattens into coastal plain and farm fields, and the pace slows with it: small towns, quiet roads, and a rural camping experience well removed from the beach crowds.

Hookup Types

Most private RV parks in Delaware offer full hookups (water, sewer, electric), while state park campgrounds may provide electric and water, with dump stations available.

Big-Rig Access

Many modern RV parks and state park campgrounds accommodate big rigs, but older parks or those in wooded areas might have tighter turns or smaller sites; verify dimensions when booking.

Seasonal Considerations

Summer is the busiest season, requiring reservations months in advance, especially for coastal locations; shoulder seasons (spring, fall) offer better availability and often milder weather.

Reservation Lead Time

For popular coastal destinations and state parks, especially during summer weekends and holidays, securing reservations 6-12 months ahead is highly recommended.

Monthly/Seasonal Rates

Many private RV resorts, particularly those catering to longer stays, offer discounted monthly or seasonal rates outside of the peak summer period; inquire directly with parks.

Weather Considerations

Delaware experiences humid summers with potential for coastal storms and thunderstorms, while winters are generally mild but can include occasional cold snaps or light snow.

Confirm current requirements with the state agency before your trip. Rules and fees change every season.

  • Delaware State Park Camping Reservations

    Camping in Delaware State Parks requires advance reservations, which can be made online or by phone. These reservations help manage park capacity and ensure a spot for your RV.

  • Delaware Fishing License

    Anyone 16 years of age or older wishing to fish in Delaware's fresh or tidal waters must possess a valid Delaware fishing license. Different licenses apply for residents and non-residents.

  • Delaware Boat Registration

  • Firewood Movement Restrictions

    To prevent the spread of invasive pests, it is generally recommended to buy firewood locally or gather it on-site where permitted, rather than transporting it from distant locations.

  1. 01

    1. Define Your Delaware Experience

    Beach weekend or quiet history trip? Delaware does both well, and your answer narrows the map fast: coast, inland, or a split itinerary between the two.

  2. 02

    2. Research RV Parks and Amenities

    Match parks to your rig and your must-haves: full hookups, pet policies, pools, proximity to the beach. Location and site size vary more than you'd expect in a state this small.

  3. 03

    3. Secure Your Reservations Early

    Coastal parks and state parks fill months out for peak season. Book as soon as your dates firm up, summer sites near the beach do not linger.

  4. 04

    4. Check for Necessary Permits and Licenses

    Fishing and boating are both regulated here. If either is on the agenda, sort out the appropriate Delaware licenses or registrations before you leave home.

  5. 05

    5. Plan Your Route and Pack Appropriately

    Map the drive with any big-rig constraints in mind, then pack for the season, humid summers on the coast, mild but occasionally raw winters.

01Are most RV parks in Delaware pet-friendly?
Most private campgrounds welcome pets, with the standard conditions: leash rules, cleanup, sometimes breed restrictions. State parks generally allow pets in designated areas. Confirm the specific policy with your park before booking; they vary.
02What kind of amenities can I expect at Delaware RV parks?
The range is wide: basic electric and water at some state parks, up through full-service resorts with pools, laundry, Wi-Fi, cable, clubhouses, and organized activities. On the coast, the amenity that matters most, beach access, often comes standard.
03Is boondocking or dry camping allowed in Delaware?
Barely. Dispersed camping opportunities outside established campgrounds are very limited in Delaware. Plan on a reserved site at a private park or state park campground, and check directly with land managers if you think you've found an exception.
04Do Delaware State Parks offer full hookups?
Electric and water are common at Delaware State Parks; sewer at the site is not, full hookups remain mostly a private-park amenity. Most state parks run dump stations instead. Check the specific park's amenities list on the Delaware State Parks website.
05What are the best times to visit Delaware for RV camping?
Late spring (April-May) and early fall (September-October) hit the sweet spot: pleasant weather, thinner crowds, easier bookings. Summer is the classic beach season and worth the trouble, but it demands reservations well in advance.
06Are there RV repair services readily available in Delaware?
Yes: repair services operate around the state, concentrated where the RV parks and dealerships are, particularly Sussex County. Note a shop or two near your destination before the trip; it's a cheap insurance policy against a mid-vacation breakdown.
