Fall camping opportunities in Delaware State Parks

DOVER (Sept. 12, 2011) – The Division of Parks and Recreation encourages campers to discover the camping opportunities at Delaware State Park campgrounds this fall. Campgrounds at Trap Pond, Cape Henlopen and Delaware Seashore State Parks are open through November. Killens Pond campground and cabins, Indian River Marina cottages, and the campground and yurts at Lums Pond are open year-round.  Campgrounds feature both tent and RV camping. Yurts are available at Trap Pond and Lums Pond.

In order to make camping opportunities affordable for more families and individuals, Delaware State Parks is offering half-price discounts for campsite, cabin or cottage rentals at Lums Pond, Killens Pond, Trap Pond, Cape Henlopen and Delaware Seashore State Parks for stays from Sunday through Thursday, lasting for at least two nights through Oct. 28. 

“We want everyone to be able to enjoy the autumn beauty of our campgrounds, so we are offering this discount to make it more affordable for campers to stay with us,” said Mary Voshell, Chief of Business Services for Delaware State Parks.

Reservations should be made through the Delaware State Parks call center at 1-877-987-2757, and the discount code – Fallcamp 11 – must be used.  Some restrictions apply.  For more information, visit www.destateparks.com.
