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.

Tricia M. - Sep 2025
We had a great experience with Wayne! From set up to pick up, he had all his bases covered. As first timers, he took time to explain the basics and give us Camping 101 so that we were comfortable. This camper is clean and well taken care of.

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).
