Are you looking to spend some time outdoors this winter season in Delaware? There are good places to camp in the First State, both in the country and on the beach. Even though it is the smallest state, it has a lot to offer people who want to get away from it all in the winter and just chill out.

Let's look at the top five most popular campsites and RV parks so you can enjoy the beauty of this small but fantastic state during the winter.

Delaware Seashore State Park

Tens of thousands of people visit Rehoboth Beach every year because of its sights, activities, and vibe. People come to see the beach, walk along the boardwalk, and listen to music. That, of course, includes a camping visit to the Delaware Seashore State Park.

The Delaware Seashore State Park allows people to see the beautiful Delaware Beach up close and personal. You can connect your RV to water, electricity, and sewage at any RV site in the state park, which is open all year, especially during the winter. On top of that, they have showers, places to do laundry, and vending machines.

Use everything Rehoboth Beach offers during the winter to make the most of your days and nights there. You can feel the sand at the beach between your toes or watch people on the boardwalk. Explore the exhibits at the Rehoboth Beach Museum, which change all the time, or take in the scenery at one of the city's many parks.

Leisure Point Resort

The Leisure Point Resort at Long Neck is the place to stay if you want to spend a few winter nights or a few months on the Atlantic side of Delaware. You can make reservations for campsites with shade and full utilities, like electricity, water, and cable TV. There are volleyball courts, a clubhouse, and basketball courts too!

You can also go crab fishing and clamming, which you can only do along the Delaware shore. You can bring your boat or rent one of the 319 slips at the Leisure Point Marina. Leisure Point has been rated a five-star resort by Coast to Coast for the last six years because it has many amenities and things to do.

Treasure Beach RV Park and Campground

The Treasure Beach RV Park & Campground in Selbyville is like a small city; it's close to Ocean City and has more than a thousand campsites. Essential utilities and cable TV are all part of these amenities. There are buildings with showers, huge laundry rooms, a convenience store, a place to fill up propane tanks, and even a skate park!

You can relax by the pool, hang out in the clubhouse or arcade, go to one of their artisan fairs, or do all these things. You are close to all the fun and exciting things Ocean City and Fenwick Island offer, so you can go fishing, go crab hunting, or eat and shop at high-end restaurants and stores.

Trap Pond State Park

You might think of wetlands as something other than Delaware's landscape. However, Trap Pond State Park near Laurel has about 2,000 acres of small ponds and bald cypress trees. 

Around the property, there are 130 places where you can hook up electricity and water. There are places to dump your trash, showers, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a boat ramp for getting your boat into the water. There are also many hiking trails to explore the site and the wetlands, even in the winter.

Take the boat out for a spin around Trap Pond to do water sports, fishing, or trolling. You can also rent canoes, kayaks, and pedal boats to get around in the marshy waterways. 

Trap Pond is also an excellent place to watch birds, and it is also home to many different kinds of birds, such as herons, warblers, owls, and many others. Sometimes, you may even see a bald eagle here.

Cape Henlopen State Park

If you want to walk through history, go to Lewes and take a few steps down to the shore of Cape Henlopen. In 1682, nearly a hundred years before the Declaration of Independence was signed, a patriot named William Penn said that the beaches of Cape Henlopen belonged to the public. 

RVs can't plug in electricity at the state park, but most campsites have water, and they're all on pine-covered dunes. There is a dedicated place to take a shower and a place to put trash.

While you’re here, explore some of the oldest beaches in the United States and watch for strange bird species. Take part in the displays, watch the Osprey Cam, and look around the Seaside Nature Center, which has five tanks holding 1,000 gallons of water. How cool is that?
