Trap Pond State Park 33587 Bald Cypress Lane, Laurel, DE 19956

"Beautiful, clean park with wide hiking or biking trails. Nice view of pond. We were there on a winter day, so there weren't a lot of visitors. Good visitor center and clean bathrooms There is a sizeable pond for kayaking or canoeing. I will definitely go again, especially when the weather warms."

"Beautiful wooded campsites with options for RVs, tents, and cabins. Day-use area has boat rentals in the summer (as well as some weekend hours off-season). Large picnic areas and an informative nature center. The only drawback is that the campsites are a bit close together."

"Better than most local, state, and federal campgrounds, but we would not say this is one of the "best campgrounds in America." Each of the sites has a blend of dirt and sand so if you are tent camping please bring something to keep the mess out of your tent. Entering the pond out of the campground side of the water is a bad idea, the water has a film of muck, pollen, and what looks like an oil dropping scattered throughout all four dock areas. We loved the fact the campground provides adequate complimentary toilets, showers, and laundry machines. Hiking the trails around the lake was great and a wonderful way to spend a day. The campground store is adequate for minimal goods, plan to stop in town before you arrive and please consider supporting a local neighbor and buying firewood on the way to camp, there are two houses on the road that sell firewood."

"This place is unique! On my opinion, it’s one of the must-see place of the East Coast! The trees growing up out off the water right in the middle of the lake look absolutely stunning! We did the most enchanted kayaking in our life there. Gliding through the fields of water lilies, watching birds and turtles sunbathing on the snags and deer family hiding in the bushes, we moved deeper and deeper in the forest. The duct brought us to the place there the fairies easily could be found. The water looked like an enchanted mirror and all that you could hear around was the sounds of the forest. It was mysterious and absolutely incredible! Don’t skip!"

"Just wow. We made an impromptu visit and camping trip. The walk-in tent sites are BEAUTIFUL!! It’s really great to be able to set up camp and be in nature without the sound of someone charging their phone or blowing up their mattress in the site next to you. All the walk in tent sites on loop E are HUGE!! You can easily fit two tents plus all the glamping extras! The bathrooms are short walk away and are lovely. Clean and big with free showers. The wheelbarrows provided are great for the drop off of equipment. The first night it rained (literal buckets). The site was under 3 inches of water within a half hour!! Once the rain stopped though the puddles were gone just as fast! The hiking is always beautiful and easy to access. The flat trails are wide and loop across to the national park side. The camp store is also a huge plus! They have everything you need for emergencies and then some! The bikes, ice, and firewood are easy to access. The only complaint is that although there is boating, a place to cool off was missed greatly. A pool or splash pad would make a great addition to an almost perfect campground! An added note, during the storm a branch from a tree became loose and we went to the check in to let them know. They gave us expedited care. The checked out the tree and decided for our safety we needed to change sites. They were able to give us a new site right away and even offered to help move us!! Customer camper care is definitely number 1!"
