Best time to visit Delaware Seashore State Park
Late spring through early fall offers the most reliable weather for RV travel, with warm temperatures and full campground services from roughly May to October. Mid-June through August brings peak ocean swimming conditions along with the largest crowds, so reservations fill quickly. September and early October are strong shoulder-season picks, with warm ocean water, fewer visitors, and cooler nights that are comfortable for camping. Winter visits are possible for day use, but campground amenities and services are typically reduced in the off-season.

Top Hosts near DE, United States
The RV was exactly what we needed and as pictured. We would 100% would rent again and would recommend. There were many things that we packed, thinking there would be nothing in the RV; but there were paper plates, paper towels, toilet paper, utensils: plastic reusable cups, bowls, pots, pans, a strainer, knives, and plates. There was also a boogie board, pillows, scented spray and multiple cleaning supplies, as well as hand soap. The RV was clean and set up properly when we arrived. There were also 2 outdoor reclining chairs and an outdoor table. The awning worked as it should, as well as the electric and generator. The stove was propane and had propane there already. The generator (additional cost) worked great and was easy to start, and refilled with gas. The electric was mostly solar power. The toilet worked well. We didnt utilize the shower, so we dont know about that, but they did fill our water tank for us prior to arrival. Overall, would absolutely recommend if you're looking for a great company to rent an RV from!

How to get to Delaware Seashore State Park
The park sits on Coastal Highway (Route 1) in Sussex County, Delaware, about 6 miles south of Rehoboth Beach and roughly a 2 to 2.5 hour drive from Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia. From the west, many RVers approach via US 50 and US 404 through Maryland's Eastern Shore, then connect to Route 1 southbound. RV drivers should watch for summer beach traffic on Route 1, low-clearance motels and signs in resort towns, and strong crosswinds on the Indian River Inlet Bridge. The nearest commercial airports for fly-and-rent trips are Salisbury Regional (SBY) in Maryland and Baltimore/Washington International (BWI).
