Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes

This is a great park. Great nature, great history, and great variety. We visited in early October 2020. The museum was not open but I was able to walk around the artillery battery. The coastal defense of the US is a not well known aspect of WWII and this park does a great job of telling this story. Since it was fall, we were able to walk out on the point at low tide. This was a really interesting walk. The look of the tidal flats was incredible. The campsites looked nice and well spaced. Access to the beach was easy. There was a neat hawk watch bird watching area with a good view of most of the park. We strongly recommend visiting Cape Henlopen State Park.

We stayed in a campsite on Road B. Most sites were shaded by tall pine trees. Sites were flat and had paved areas for parking. People camping in tents had plenty of space and their cars stayed on the pavement. Tony at the front booth was very kind and helpful. He gave great details on how to get to our site and what the park had to offer. The camp store was air conditioned and well stocked with camping knick knacks and cold refreshments.
