G & R Recreation Campground

Affordable, friendly, caring campground. It's more like 45 minutes to Lewes, compared to the cartoon bear campground's 30 minutes, but price was less than half & staff actually cares. Sites are large and offer mature shade trees. I felt safe. And it was so QUIET. No golf cart races & shrieking crying kids at midnight. They have a nice pool, safe roads for bicycling, basketball court, and other games. There's a big hall for events. They even were hosting a classic car show when we arrived. I so wanted to give 5 stars, but their neighbors are unbearable. It is surrounded by massive poultry industrial farms. First day was ok, but then wind direction changed. It's not just "ew stinky", it was making me cough & eyes water. Imagine a sour-manure rotten-animal odor that you never get quite used to. The state of Delaware has really let its residents & tourists down by catering to the chicken corporations. I had the opportunity to meet the owner who seemed to really care about my experience and on having a nice campground. The other guests we encountered were all nice. Bath houses were older, but it looked like the newer owner was working on improving them. Pool was well maintained. Store was nice. You can tell they tried hard to display things attractively. My only frustration was in making reservations. The number i called always went straight to voice-mail, and by afternoon still no call back. The online reservation site was ok but it didn't allow same day reservations and sometimes the site is down. If air quality could be improved, we'd visit there regularly.

My family booked a tent site here for a few days. We usually camp in our tent but we didn’t realize how brutally hot it was going to be and our dog could not handle the heat. We went down to the office and the staff was so sweet and accommodating. We were able to switch our reservation to a cabin that had all the amenities for our bougie pup. We enjoyed the board game room that also had ac. We also got to hop in the pool that was really well kept. Overall we had such and great time and will probably come back for another visit.

G&R was a great place to enjoy a relaxing weekend with a good camp fire with perfect weather. Their staff was nice and hospitable from the when we checked into their camp office/store. We appreciated our quiet and shaded campsite. All our hookups worked fine and we had plenty of places to take our dog on a walk. The kids enjoyed their new playground (wasn’t there last time). All in all … definitely recommend for all who want a nice quiet campground.

Spent a great day with my brother camping overnight, it was a great day, and the campgrounds were excellent! Marisa was very helpful and we are definitely coming back!

Our family had the pleasure of visiting this facility this weekend. It was such a wonderful experience. Everyone loved it and were all planning on visiting again very soon. The staff were absolutely amazing everything went so smoothly .
