Delaware State Parks Reviews

We love cape henlopen! The perfect dog friendly beach!

A bit far from we I live in PA but it was worth the trip. It was $10 to enter, although some locals said there was away to enter without paying.The Bathrooms were it good condition though the trash was falling over the trash can since it was so full. Parking lot has sufficient amount of spots. The Fishing pier however us really crowded. I stayed there overnight and only in the wee ours of the morning was there a few people. I will return!

Spacious campsites, clean bathrooms, within walking distance to the ocean. But it's harder getting a reservation the past few years since the improvements.

That is great! I love it. Nice forest, the park is Safe, quit, beautiful view, you can rest plently. Clean and peaceful. Great time enjoying Nature.

A very well kept beach. A quiet place. Lots of game to see live. No harassment.

The campground is a hidden gem!!!
Very quite and safe. Make sure if you are biking trails that you pass the first beach to the guard beach!

Great place to explore while in Delaware, just a short and beautiful bike ride from Rehoboth. While there you can enjoy the beach or visit a nearby WW2 coastal artillery station.

If its nice out go for a walk and you wont regret it!

Nice quite beaches A lot quieter than Rehobo but the Ford was not much to look at and the museum was closed on a weekend

Winter coat at the shore is full of wonder and fresh air.

Beautiful state park! Very clean. Bring your own trash bag and be prepared to take it with you.

Really nice beach with hiking and a WW2 military outpost. If you're there the great dunes are great to check out.

Went on a cape water taxi eco tour of the Rehoboth Bay with our grandchildren. What an amazing two hours on the bay. Kathleen and the crew were fabulous!

Amazing ... in all the years we have been going to Delaware and had not made it here ... this will be on the repeat visit list for sure!!

Nice park to visit for a day. We visited history museum/ fort and walked around North point. We liked the beach that has public bathroom , bath and changing room. Dogs were allowed only on one beach and not on some trails.

Amazing natural beach, park and historical location.

A very beautiful place. Very well maintained. If you want a nice beach this is the place to go. They even have a bath house with restrooms and showers. Everybody I met was friendly and polite. Nice parking lot. Small snack bar and chair/umbrella rental.

I realize that this is a one-sided review, but so be it. Stayed at one of their cabins over labor day weekend, brought home bed bugs. Disgusting! Obviously park management claims they know nothing about it, have no such problems in their cabins, will not reimburse, and so on. The overall condition of their campground in general has declined substantially in one short year since their big "overhaul". Cabins are filthy and aren't cleaned or maintained properly. Same goes for bathrooms. Probably partially as a result of them cramming way too many people into too tight of a space. We will not be returning - except for maybe as day visitors, just to enjoy the beach and the history, which are, yes, very wonderful there.

Beautifully maintained and relaxing place. Favorite place to walk.

Wonderful location. I actually stayed in the barracks as a child with a group. The beache and bath house were so clean. We paid $10 to get in but worth every penny. Take time to enjoy this beautiful park. But if you stay for a while it is well worth it. They have bath houses and snack bar to grab some food. The pier was beautiful and we caught some crabs! The beach was stunningly beautiful.

Nice, quieter beach than Rehoboth. Great nature center with live animals and a touch tank.

One of my favorite parks to visit. So many things to do.

Very nice, was suprised by the $10 admission fee but was worth it.

To me, CHSP is One of the most beautiful parks I've ever been to.

Our favorite place for a day trip! $10 a car, lifeguard on the beach, and showers! Perfect

My daughter, husband and I love going fishing off the dock and just hanging out at the beach. Family friendly!

First time visiting this park and really enjoyed it. Very clean beaches. They have showers and a boardwalk to get over the dunes. Also a snack stand. Drove out to the point to look at the lighthouse then climbed the old WW2 lookout tower. They offer camping and have different activities for children. Out of state entry into the park cost us $10 per car. Well worth it!

Camping, beach access, bath houses, etc. Nice scenic spot on the Cape.

25 mile bike loop from rehoboth to Lewis. And an awesome bike brewery, revelations along the way.
Bike path is mixture of pavement and hard pack cinder, with some soft spots to navigate.

Very nice park, loved the beach! the park is very large so will have to come back to see more of it, and we definatly plan on it.

The beach and park were clean. great place for the family.

My family absolutely loves this place! We drive up every year from Maryland to visit. Out of state it's just $10 to enter and park for the day. There is a great beach house with good. High pressure, hot water showers, changing booths and flushing toilets. There is a little snack bar available for food and drinks too. We love being able to day trip up and then shower and change to go to dinner or the Rehoboth boardwalk. It is often busy, but never on the level of other public beaches, and there are tons of rocks and shells to see on the shoreline. There is also a nice little nature center and bike trails. Great place to visit!

Cape Henlopen is a fabulous state park. Third largest dune complex after Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod. Campground and bike trail. Nearby Lewes Delaware is awesome village.

CHSP is our go to beach as we reside in DE. Family and friends really like this beach. The bath house is nice and convenient. Make sure to arrive early or stay away until later in the afternoon. The park has a Capacity Limit and often teaches that limit. The cost is $5 per car for DE instate and $10 per car for out of state. The trails are great and the bike trail allows you to ride to Rehoboth Beach.

Don't like the fact they charge $. May be due to lack of taxation.

A peaceful preserve/state park to drive to. Well worth the drive. There are scenic trails where it seems as though there are no other people around. And the view of the Ocean/Bay is just breathtaking. Simply an amazing place to go.

Dogs allowed all year round! $10 for my out of state car, no problem. Totally worth it for my furry babe. Not crowded, quiet compared to the general beaches, and nice people everywhere. On second thought, it was terrible. Please don't come so I can keep this gem to myself.

So worth the $10 daily. The beache and bath house were so clean. The fishing pier was a must stop. The kids enjoyed running around low tide. What a great state park!!

Great state park to visit. definitely worth the trip to walk on the beach and see the views

Great place to visit! Beautiful beaches and campground.

Had a great time on fishing pier with our grandson. Would like to see the pier extended.

This is a wonderful park to visit. Definitely a good days activities to do if not 2. Be there to watch the sunrise and stay till the sun sets. You will not be disappointed. Would have give 5 stars but the mosquitoes tho. They are huge and hungry so take plenty of repellent. This park has history attractions (World War 2),piers,beaches,museums, trails, etc.... a lot to do.

Love this park, great fishing areas, lots of hiking and biking trails, wonderful beaches and even an awesome disc golf course in the dunes close to the beach...

Lovely beaches.
Nice bike trails.
Crowded campground with unevenly enforced rules.
No seeums and biting flies

It was huge, clean, and well maintained. The tower will be nice, when it's finished, and there are many things to do there.
