Delaware might not be the first place that comes to mind when thinking of breathtaking camping views, especially for those unfamiliar with the First State’s offerings.
But that could change now that a Delaware campground was identified as having one of the best camping views in the United States.
The US campgrounds with the best views
Matador Network, a travel publisher, and The Dyrt, a camping platform, identified the 60 campsites across the country with the best views. The 60 featured sites are divided by region, with 10 per each area.
Of the 10 East Coast campgrounds featured, Delaware’s Cape Henlopen State Park was included.
Near Lewes, Cape Henlopen State Park is a year-round site where visitors can camp, swim, fish and explore local attractions.
The campgrounds offer water, electric hookups, fire rings, picnic tables, a play area, additional dump stations, and walk-in tent sites. A camp store, laundry facility, and pull-through sites are also available.
Camping is available next to the historical World War II-era observation towers for a unique experience even seasoned campers might be new to.
Other activities at the 7,000-acre state park include biking through sand dunes and fishing from bayside pier. Visitors can also learn more about the park’s native plants and animals or participate in an interpretive program at the Seaside Nature Center.
The Dyrt highlights Cape Henlopen’s stunning sunrise and sunset views and the site’s historic markers.
The other East Coast camping views Cape Henlopen is featured among include:
- Saranac Lake Islands in New York
- Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland
- Green River Reservoir in Vermont
- Town Hall Road in New Hampshire
- Rocky Mount in Virginia
- Wellesley Island in New York
- Peddock’s Island in Massachusetts
- Lake George Islands in New York
