With six miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline between Dewey Beach and the Indian River Inlet, this popular park includes ocean and bay beaches with bathhouses for public swimming, surf fishing, surfing, skimboarding, kiteboarding and sailboating. At the inlet, Delaware Seashore features a large campground plus the 295-slip Indian River Marina with charter and head boats for ocean fishing trips. All summer long, soon after sunrise, playful dolphins patrol the shallow waters just beyond the surf line. Stroll along the quiet beach as these beautifully sleek creatures leap and dive just a few hundred feet away. Open daily 8 a.m. to sunset. Entrance fee May through October and annual vehicle permits available. Located on Route 1 between Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach. Call the park at 302.227.2800 or the marina at 302.227.3071 or visit https://www.destateparks.com/Beaches/DelawareSeashore

A nice park in a cool location. The park is positioned next to/ under the bridge - so you have a unique view. The staff is really great. There's a camp store, the trash area, bathrooms, a play area for kids, and then of course the actual camp spots. The lady at the front sings a welcome song. 🙂

The bathrooms have showers and are kept pretty clean. The shower area is kind of locker room style, i.e. not much privacy. We car camped in a Prius. There's not much space in between each spot and there is little to no tree coverage.

The beach is close and there are nice walking paths. Between the South and the north side, I think there's something around 400 spots. In the summer it is pretty busy. I was impressed at how quiet it was at night considering the amount of campers that were there. Also, you can't beat the proximity to the ocean.

The pass for your car gets you into all the different parks in the area- not just the one you're booked at.

This is a beautiful place and they were having an art festival there. There's also an amazing restaurant here too seasonal place. You can dock your boat here, they have cabins you can stay in we did that one year.

Love camping on the north side. The beach is within walking distance and isn't very crowded. The bathrooms are decent. There is a bit of traffic noise, but it's not annoying. I've been here multiple times.
