Loops C and D I believe, D for sure stayed there in D in the spring.

Has anyone tried Massey's Landing down around Long Neck. Seems to be a new location in 2016.

From what I understand it's booked solid this season. Coworker is going in about 3 weeks. He did say it looks exciting. He was delivering construction equipment at the time. They do have a cancellation list(?) going. I would imagine that is a lengthy list as well. I waiting for a report back first.

We tend to like Yogi in Milford...sorry to see others having problems there. We also like Assateague but very few electric sites there. Frontiertown is nice, but I got disgusted with the 3 night minimum in summer which does not work well for my job.

The only thing i could get was Labor Day weekend. i am number 6 on the list for the fourth of july weekend so fingers crossed. we have a big party in pot nets bayside every year and dont want to drive west after a night out. i did drive through on memorial day weekend it was def nice and a fresh face to the area. just had a little more work to do which is understandable given they were trying thier hardest to be open for memorial day. in a few years when the trees grow and there is nice shade its going to be the place to be on the pay. hope they keep up the good work and the good customer service i have heard from a few people who have stayed. might be a location i book every holiday weekend for a few years.

Brought in fresh dirt, back filled and called it a park. Could also be why it's not manned They really should not charge for that place all you can do is look at the water. Wilmington's Riverwalk is more interesting and that's free.

Can I park RV at Riverwalk?

I noticed a business on the road leading to Fox Point (Lighthouse Road?) there is a business that has a truck scale. Right by the road. I am wondering if I could weigh my RV there. It might be a tight fit.

Don't really know for sure about the business nor the scales. I don't recall seeing them. Most of the time I am boogying up and down 495 so I would not see it.

Killen's Pond has quiet CAT scales two miles away. Depending on your route you would drive right by it. Just sayn

It is out of the way in my normal life but I will be making a trip to Dewey Beach in August. And I plan another trip to Laurel so I will be on 13.

Do you know anything about Slaughter Beach? I see the signs but I have no clue about it.

Made a stop in at Lums Pond today and they are scrambling to get the small store at check in ready, did not get to drive thru as they are STILL working on things and the lady in the office said the contractors have not yet turned the place back over to the state, hope they get it opened as I saw a lot of reserved sites on the reservation page.

Slaughter beach is just a bug infested sleepy town. Just beach houses and fire dept. If all you want is the beach then it's ok. Absolutely nothing like Dewey. But on bright side parking and traffic is much easier. Oh and a really nice boat launch.

Ok, glad they informed you, I wanted to stay there tonight to be ready to leave for our trip but seeing they are not officially open we just hooked up and parked in front of the house, guess the neighbors are getting up early tomorrow when we leave at 5am. By the way we live just about 10 minutes from Lums Pond.

Yes, right around the corner about 10 minutes in a development right off of Rt. 40 not far from the De-Md state line. Lums will be a great close place and real nice now with full hook ups.

thanks for all the information guys from milford de.

Great news about Lum's Pond. My daughter just had a house build in Townsend, De which I think is close to Lum's Pond. I've been going to Janes Is. State Park in Md. which is very nice. Coming from Cape May, Lum's Pond might become my go to camp ground with the grand kids. Thanks for the report. Looking forward to any updates.

Thanks, I only care about the beach but I am a bug magnet.

I don't want to be bothered by bugs. Dewey was pretty good for me.

The Delaware bugs really like Pennsylvanians! I guess it in line with us ordering Chinese take out.
