Delaware Seashore State Park, De No Hookup Tent Camping Site

  

Sleep under the stars, under a tree canopy, by the ocean, in the middle of a meadow, or even at a festival. Tent camping can seem a little bit daunting for those who never have before, but if you have some blankets or a sleeping bag, a tent and some food, you can spend the night with Mother Nature for a pretty reasonable price….maybe even free. If you’re looking for options, here’s a sampling of sites in Delaware that we think you should check out.

From Orcas Island in Washington to Saranac Islands in New York, here are 8 of the best sites for beach camping throughout the U.S.

One of the two RV friendly campgrounds within Delaware Seashore State Park is the South Inlet Campground. This campground is known for its level sites and wide campground roads. South Inlet has 151 full-hookup RV campsites, 86 standard (no hook-up) sites, and 33 tent-only sites available. Pitch a tent and take the short walk to the beach! Delaware Seashore State Park offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and Rehoboth and Indian River Bays to the west. The campground is located beside the iconic Indian River Inlet Bridge, only a short walk from the beach. My family recently stayed at the newly renovated Delaware Seashore State Park campground at. If you go, I would like to suggest that tent site #93 may.

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
