Trip Report-June 2018-Delaware Seashore State Park

Park Name-Delaware Seashore State Park
Date of Stay-June 2018
Site-237
Price Per Night-$40-DE Resident vs $45-Non Resident

This is one of our favorite local parks! The location (in between Dewey/Rehoboth Beach and Bethany Beach/Ocean City, Maryland) is PERFECT. You have close access to miles and miles of touristy beaches and uninhabited beaches. From the campground you can walk less than a 1/4 of a mile to get to the beach.

Even though this park is run by The State of Delaware or a subsidiary agency the park is well maintained, the sites are level. All of the RV sites are full hook ups. If you have a larger vehicle make sure you bring your “A” game when it comes to parking and pulling out as the interior roads are a little bit tight.

Even though they don’t have the staffing levels of a KOA…there was always someone “official” around who could answer questions or help out if needed.

If you are able…try to book a site on the newer side (sites 400-480)…the sites are WIDE and DEEP

Trip Report

May 10 through May 12th

Back story-The kids at our daughters elementary school collected 500lbs of bottle caps which were to be recycled and converted into a trash can for the playground. Tawnya and I thought it through and decided that it would be a fun adventure to drive 1500 miles in 48 hours in order to check off 2 more states on our list.

Planning-Since we were traveling on highways and states that  were foreign to us I did  a little bit more in depth research on rest areas and fueling stations thanks..www.rvtripwizard.com.

From the door of the school to our campground it was a 700 mile/10+ hour run. My plan was to drive 4 and rest for 1 until we arrived at our first campground. Yeah that went out the window...I rolled straight into Evansville, Indiana.

A few things that I found out

1-Fuel prices change drastically from Virginia to West Virginia to Kentucky

2-Kentucky does a great job of operating rest areas

3-The truck stops in West Virginia are AWESOME! Big, wide lanes and reasonable prices.
4-In the RV Lifestyle you are only limited by your imagination

The Awesome Teacher who joined us on this journey did a great job of documenting the journey:
