We enjoyed our time here. Our-pull through site was easy to access and we didn't have any issues with noisy neighbors. I suspect the fall beach-camping crowd is a lot more tame than during the summer. Easy walks from the campsite to various trails and to the historic fort. Be sure to check out the nature center as it is surprisingly nice.
It didn't effect us, but there were a surprising amount of mushrooms in our campsite. If you have a dog or little one that could be tempted to put something in their mouth I suppose that may be worth noting.

Love this campground. Easy to get into with good roads heading in. Check in with Tony (the park employee) was the best, he has all the knowledge of the campground and the area. He sets you up for a great stay. The site is asphalt and level left to right, slopes slightly towards the road, 35' long. There is a picnic table and fire ring available. There are two styles of bath houses at Cape Henlopen: The older ones near road E and G are open and have individual toilet and shower stalls. The new bath house located on road B near the camp store has individual bath rooms with shower, toilet, sink, bench and locking door. I love this campground because as long as the weather is good I park my truck and bike everywhere like Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, and all over the park. There is a small laundry available (did not use) with sinks for washing dishes.

You are packed in like sardines. The playground is right in the middle of all the campsites so there are kids screaming from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. The park itself is beautiful outside the campground. I would pass on this one.

This is a fantastic state park. Campground staff are kind and helpful. Campground is clean and well-maintained. We are very active people and still, were able to stay within state park boundaries for several days and have plenty to do with hiking, biking and exploring. Don't believe reviews you see stating that the park isn't very dog friendly. With the exception of the swimming beach, the bird nesting area and two short hiking trails, our dog was allowed to accompany us on most of our fun. You just need to follow all the common sense courtesies with your pet and there will be no issues.
The only reason I rated this CG 4 stars rather than 5 is compared to many other state parks in the US, the sites were rather close together. Not quite as on top of each other as at your average RV park...but close. If you're looking for that state park experience where there is some wiggle room between you and your neighbor, this wouldn't be the place for you.

Driving in was easy to navigate with helpful friendly staff. The site was paved with asphalt and level left to right with a slope downhill front to back (you may want to bring a block). A09 is a back in site with water and electric, picnic table and fire ring with cooking grate. There is sand all around so be ready to manage it. The bath house is clean and has private rooms with toilet, sink, and shower. Camp store is available and has a small laundry and dishwashing sink behind it. The beach is close, lots of shopping oportunities in Lewes, DE. My favorite thing is the bike paths. You can go every where via bike. We park the truck and take our bikes. The only time we take the truck is if it rains. This was our second year and we have reservations for next year.

This is a beautiful park with stunning views of the coast and sunrise. There is a bike path too that offers equally breathtaking views of the area. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is I thought the campground store was on the smaller side compared to other campgrounds that I’ve been to. Also, there are no sewer hookups at the individual site but there are three dump stations upon exiting the park. Electricity and water hookups were available. Since this is a woodsy campground, there were definitely more mosquitos - so bug repellant is a must. Cell coverage was spotty in case that’s important to you. Based on views and location, I would highly recommend staying here. I stayed in spot D25.
