Stayed here 10/3/23 to 10/6/23. Clean and quiet. Nice shower rooms. Generously sized sites. Close to Wilmington to get to museums, etc.

Great stay! Super clean and tranquil park. Sewer hookup was near the front of the site 46 so our hose could not reach but everything was great.
Was strange that our reservation number and length of stay did not match the papers left at the site causing some confusion. Very quiet park

Highly recommend this state park. FHU and lots of space. You really can’t go wrong with most of the sites. If you don’t like mosquitoes book far away from the water because they are savage when we were there in July.

Wonderfully maintained state park, voted best in Delaware, with full hook up at all sites. Sites are nicely spaced. There’s lots of trees but some sites are in full sun. Highly recommend site 31 for shade and privacy. It’s close to the road but there’s no one right next to you. Bathrooms are very clean. We learned the hard way the only firewood for sale is in the store that closes early (maybe 4:00?), so definitely arrive in time if you want a campfire! We stayed here to see some sites around Philly which is about an hour away. I quoted “true” price which includes fees.

The campsites at Lums Pond can be reserved online up to a year in advance. The sites are spaced out with plenty of open space and greenery around.
Not far away, in the same park, is a playground for the kids. We saw plenty of older kids and teens riding around the roads on bikes and families walking their dogs.
There wasn’t a check-in office, we just pulled up to our site and the paperwork for the site and the truck was there waiting for us when we arrived.
It’s a very quiet and spacious state park. It seemed like many of the locals come here on weekends for weekend vacation time. My kids made a number of friends at the playground, played soccer, and had nerf gun wars.
Starlink gave us decent speeds of 15 up 2 down, even with the tall trees around. Verizon on the phone was 3 bars. With the cell antenna, we got 4 bars of Verizon and 3 on AT&T.

We stayed four nights at Lums Pond to check Delaware off the map and to replenish with full hook-ups. We are 68' long with our HDT and 45' fifth wheel, and our Rand McNally RV GPS took us to the main entrance for day use of the park, which is NOT connected by road to the campground. Our only option to turn around was the farthest parking lot (God bless the ranger who gave us instructions), and it was TIGHT getting in there! Make sure you're going to the campground entrance off Red Lion Rd. When I typed it in by hand it worked, even though the GPS showed the SAME ADDRESS! Our site was plenty long enough - there are several that will fit a big rig. The grounds are like a park, with some well-trimmed trees near the sites and grass in the middle of the campground circles. You can't beat the price - private campgrounds in the area charge $75-$100 or more. Individual shower rooms, and a few full bathrooms that are handicap accessible.
Cell data service: ATT -114 dBm, Speedtest showed 60 Mbps down, 3 up, Nighthawk with window antenna.
T-Mobile -100 dBm, Speedtest 147 Mbps down, 9 up, Mifi with no booster.
We loved it, we'll be back.

The park was easy to find as long as you are aware that it is not located anywhere near the State Park Office.. It is located Just off of Red Lion Road. There is pavement all the way. Signage is adequate. Check in didn’t exist. A note at the kiosk said to proceed to your reserved site. The rules are fairly basic. The interior roads are paved, in good condition and very big rig friendly.
Our site, 37, was a paved back in in that was just long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30/50s amp, water and sewer only) were to the left side. Distancing is very good. Each site has a table and a fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was well manicured, neat and tidy
There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. We did not find any OTA channels. Satellite might be difficult in some sites because of trees. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean.There is a camp store located on site
There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores. We found this park to be an okay overnighter. We paid $40.00 per night and we feel we received fair value. We will be back if in the area again.

The Michael Castle bike trail is a short distance (under a half mile) to the campground, and can’t recommend that ride highly enough! Lots to do in the area. We look forward to returning someday!

At $44 a night it’s not much. But it’s Delaware and there are full hookups. Any other state I’d give it 3 stars. It’s basically a big field with sites on the perimeter with trees/shade. MTB trails and a pond are among the amenities.

This is a very nice campground. We did have some difficulty finding it because the park is very large. The GPS took us to the airfield. All was not lost, getting here was well worth the extra few minutes. Aesthetically, very pleasing to the eye. Sites are paved, level, and appropriately spaced. Everything is neat and well cared for. The bathrooms/bathhouse are immaculate. The laundry room, and the store are very nice as well. Many hiking trails although a bit lengthy. Enjoyed our overnight stay very much.
