We've been coming to camp three year in a row. We were very lucky that weather was perfect. The kayak, fishing, biking and hiking trip with kids were fun. We've always met nice families during the trip. We love the Yurt with a great access to the water. The kids loved the camp store for snacks - Popsicle, and etc.... More

Glorious, even on a cold frosty December Morning, my wonderful fiancee and I visited Trap pond last Monday at 8:45. It was cold and the light was low but we had an amazing time. Thanks to whoever maintains this beautiful sanctuary in this hub bub world. Ian

Ohhh the spiders were an unpleasant surprise. I came to Trap Pond today with my 10yr old son for a little fun get away. We DO really like the place (nice trails, great little cabin with heat and a fridge) BUT ultimately we left tonight at 10:30 pm when we encountered our 9th rather large wolf spider just above the...

We have gone down as a couple the last two Septembers and really enjoy it, but we will definitely bring the kids next time as they would love it, too. First, what stands out the most is kayaking the narrow stretch of creek above the pond. It evokes a very special feeling, being in a quiet narrow maze of water... More

We usually campe in a park in Northern Delaware, and occasionally at Cape Henlopen. This was our first time at Trap Pond. First, the positive. There were great programs to entertain everyone, including pontoon boat tours. We ere close enough to the ocean to enjoy a day at the beach. Also, there were several charming small towns nearby, one of... More

I stayed in one of the Mini-Cabins at Trap Pond over Spring Break and had an excellent experience. Trap Pond offers many activities whether you are camping there or just visiting. To clear up the same confusion I had when booking, the Mini-Cabins do not have stoves, bathrooms, or any running water (plumbing). The Mini-Cabins consist of a screened porch,... More

If you like walks that give the opportunity from frequent changes in landscape; woods, swamp (don't worry a nice footbridge over the marshy areas), meadows, and frequent water views, this park is for you. You may also bike on the trail. Just a word of warning; every time I have walked around the pond, I see a blacksnake, so be... More

This is my favorite Delaware State Park campground. We stayed there in September in a travel trailer as part of a large rally group. The park staff were wonderful to work with, and very accommodating. The park and campground is beautiful. The sites are spacious, and there's plenty of shade. Like many state parks, the rest room/showers were dated, but... More

This was a lovely state park with many nice ammenities - disc golf, free bikes, nice wooded bike trails. We stayed in Yurt #1 and we very happy with the view and the ability to launch our kayaks right from our site. Saw lots of wildlife during our late August stay - herons, egrets, otters and eagles! Nice paddling under... More
