Spent an overnight but would not hesitate to stay longer. We were on our way home from touring the southern coast. Great campground. Lots of space, beautifully kept. Management friendly and very helpful. Facilities were very clean. There were electrical hook ups but no water. We managed just fine. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Site 16 Cost for an out of stater $26 with electricity using a senior citizen discount This is a 68 site campground with modern showers, a dumping station, picnic tables and grills. It is a self-checkin but there are a few hosts sites if you have a problem and the rangers come around in the early evening to check on everyone. There are also 4 horse campsites. They had also just built a new ranger station at the entrance to the campground this year. We always try to camp at Lums Pond State Park at least as our first stopover heading south from Rhode Island. It is beautiful but the sites don’t have much privacy even though they are good size sites. The trees are getting taller and it is a great place for families and for one to ride their bikes but this time Delaware had soaking rain for a day and a half when we got there so no bike riding. We were lucky that it wasn’t raining in New England and the rain had turned to showers in NJ so driving wasn’t a problem. There are about 8 sites and some Yurts that have electricity and you can make reservations even the day before like I did. Our site 16 can hold an RV over 45 feet but because of the heavy rains the site was very muddy but most sites looked quite dry considering the down pour that these sites had. We were able to find sections of our site quite dry and level but we only have an RV that is 25 feet. It is a good thing I made reservations because another woman paid for the site but I was able to show my printed out reservation confirmation. All the electic sites were taken by 5 in the afternoon. As I reviewed this campground last year the bathrooms were very clean. If one drove around to the other side of the pond there was a boat rental place and picnic sites. They used to let you swim on the other side but because of state budgets cuts with lifeguards and a high bacteria count that has been stopped. In the campground there is a trail that goes around the whole pond and there is also a fishing pier. Follow the directions off the website not your GPS by taking 1A off of I95 in Delaware (much faster than by route 13). It is a good stopover for those from New England and especially if you plan to go down the eastern shore route through Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed at this CG for 2 nights. We were their for Warbirds over DE. The CG is a lot nicer than I had imagined. I was in site 4 on Friday and 16 on Saturday. Site 4 had W/E/S, electric was 50 amps. I had just 50 amp electric in site 16. I will stay here again next year. It was perfect for what I used it for. It is very difficult to get a reservation so call early. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Lums Pond State Park, Bear , Delaware number of sites 67- April 18- 27 with electricity. This is a 68 site campground with modern showers, a dumping station, picnic tables and grills. It also has 4 horse campsites. We have not camped at Lums Pond State Park in 14 years but have always used this as our first stopover and last stopover heading south from Rhode Island. It is beautiful. The trees are getting taller and it is a great place for families and for one to ride their bikes. There are now 8 sites and a couple of yurts with electricity but I would suggest that one make reservations for those. The bathrooms were very clean. If one drove around to the other side of the pond there was a boat rental place and picnic sites. They use to let you swim on the other side but because of state budgets cuts with lifeguards and a high bacteria count that has been stopped. In the campground there is a trail that goes around the whole pond and there is also a fishing pier. We saw turtles on logs and other wildlife in the pond. Lums Pond is Exit 1 off the Delaware Turnpike off I-95 in Delaware and then you drive down 8 miles. It is a good stopover for those from New England and especially if you plan to go down the eastern shore route through Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I've been here for the maximum two weeks and I love everything about this park. The staff is wonderful, the sites are huge, the setting beautiful, and "big city" amenities are nearby. Having only my RV, I rented a car at nearby Hertz in Bear; they shuttled me to and from the campground and the rate was very reasonable. I came here because I had business in Philadelphia, but I will most certainly be back for a vacation. Don't miss the food and view at nearby Crabby Dave's in Delaware City. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The campsites were very large and well spaced out. The bathroom was clean and adequate. Each site had a table and fire pit. Nice lake but the fishing was nonexistent. We were there for 2 days and I saw one person pull up a sunny. We camped here in a Tent.
Very nice place. Lots of trees, space, quiet, great place if your looking to visit folks in northern Delaware or simply want to relax. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The campground is a mix of wooded and semi-open sites. There is one bathhouse which is reasonably well maintained. I find many of the sites are too close together, so choose wisely when reserving. The state park itself is not that appealing. There is nothing wrong with it, but it is just a small lake and simple lake activities and nothing more. We camped here in a Tent.
One of our favorite parks. Large campsites with lots of privacy and trees with a huge open field behind (if you are on the inside of the loop). A quiet campground where you go just to relax. If you need to entertain kids (pool, game room, movies, etc.), go somewhere else. There's a R/C airplane field next to the campground that can provide entertainment. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This state park is wonderful. The sites are huge, level and most are shaded. All the activities are a short drive on the other side of the park. Nice lake to fish on and very quiet. Fresh water faucets are plentiful through out the CG to fill your tanks and dump station is centrally located. I would recommend this State Park to stay at for a few day's at a time only due to the lack of ammenities for kids. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
