We wanted to close out the 2024 camping season by looking for one more place to go camping that wasn't too far of a drive from our home. So we turned to the state of Delaware to see what we could find. We settled on Killens Pond State Park, south of the town of Felton, in Kent County.
Killens Pond State Park 59 water & electric campsites, and 17 primitive campsites. It also has ten cabins and 1 cottage available for rent. The cabins and cottages include heat, air conditioning, a kitchenette, and bathroom.

We stayed in one of the park's campsites, which are all arranged in lollipop loops. There are 6 loops with about 9 sites on each loop. The campsites are very close together and completely shaded.

There was only one shower house for the entire campground. It was old and very much in need of updating. The shower stalls were very small and didn't have a private changing area.
Potable water was available at the dump station. It's recommended that you fill up your tanks before proceeding to your loop. The dump station is located on the right shortly after passing through the check-in station. The check-in station has a tiny little store inside with the bare necessities.
Although we didn't like the campground, the park itself was nice. It had a playground, a trail around the 66-acre millpond, and a nature center. Boating and fishing are permitted on the pond.

There is also a waterpark located operated by the state park. It was closed for the season when we visited and we didn't stop by to check it out. But it seemed like it might be a good choice for families.
We probably will not return to Killens Pond. There wasn't enough to do there for the older set, and we didn't really like the campground. However, if you have kids and are in the area, it might be a good choice for a day trip.
