This camp is a very quiet rural location (45 minutes to Lewes and Cape May Ferry) and has a great list of amenities. The camp hosts are welcoming and very helpful. Shout-out to Dave for assisting us on arrival. The animals are cool and mostly friendly. The pool looked nice as did the meadery- didn't have time to try these. The nature walk was really nice and easy to follow. Now to the sites themselves - if you're looking at a full hook-up site, you will need to bring plenty of waste line and water line as the utility layout is challenging. Our recommendation is to call ahead and ask about site layout. Upon departure we ended up dumping our full grey and black tanks at Killen Pond State Park about 9 miles away. For those with 30-Amp rigs, do have a 50-amp converter in your electric box for flexibility in site selection. Overall, a nice long weekend stay with friendly hosts.

Staying at camp Douglass is always such a joy. It’s absolutely beautiful, well maintained, and we have been back more than a few times. We even got engaged there! I suggest it to anyone who even mentions camping, and we even got engaged there. Do yourself the favor!

We had such a great time here! There was 7 adults, 1 baby, and 4 dogs and we had plenty of space!! Gorgeous in the fall, and they had plenty of firewood for us to use. I recommend this place and we hope to come back! You do hear the raceway noise but it’s not a big deal and it’s nice and quiet overnight!

This was our second time at Camp Douglass. My best friend and I loved it so much the first trip, we couldn’t wait to bring the kids! Shane works hard on this property, and it shows. There were upgrades even since May when we were there. We booked a weekend already for next summer. We will come prepared with floats for the river. This trip the kids and dogs were able to walk over to the island and down the river. We had coffee with a beautiful view every morning. My friend and I agree, we’ve found one of our happy places!

Our scout troop had a great visit. It was a perfect spot for an overnight bike-in from the Schuylkill River Trail, and nice that we could bring supplies by car as well.

We loved every minute of camping at Camp Douglass! The view out over the river is amazing and the water near the shore is shallow and perfect for kids to play in. The campsite itself is flat and clean with a perfect spot for a hammock and there is a shed full of firewood nearby. Although the train didn’t bother us during the day it continued over night and was not overly loud but might not be great for light sleepers. The gravel road to get to the campsite was manageable for our Honda pilot and would be an easy walk if using the parking area. Over all it was great and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful sunrises & sunsets on the water. Great bird watching (loons, heron, otherwise). Great stargazing, catching catfish, crab. Nice clean bathrooms & playground. Golf cart friendly. The owner is kind and helpful. Sites are gravel, several lots on the lake, includes a boat ramp and nice dock, busy for the weekend. Security was well thought of. Great spot!

Site was well maintained and clean. Check in insteuctions were clear. Nice spot right along the river, plenty of space and felt secluded. You can tell the property owner has spent time making the site nice. Included firewood was a huge bonus. Train runs through regularly fairly close but didnt bother us. Would return again.

Perfect getaway for family with young kids. Level mulched areas for tents, portopotty on site, large chunks of fire wood provided, and trashcan. Pond was fun to fish in. Cows were fun to see right next to camp.

Great time camping! The check in was smooth and the host was accessible to help locate the camp (it IS secluded so best to use the guidebook for reference photos). The train was a bit distracting at times, but we anticipated it from the initial description (no worries it tends to stop at night). Wood is available to build a fire and the porta potty was close. Lots of space and picnic tables to spread out if you’re in a group too. I do wish there was an easier access to the river directly from the campsite, but overall the stay was fun!

This was definitely one of our top favorite Hipcamps, and we only wish we’d had more time here! We really appreciated the helpful site information provided after booking, as well as the clearly marked location and detailed instructions when we arrived—it made everything so easy. The seasoned, dry firewood was such an over-the-top amenity for road-trip camping—what a thoughtful touch!
The campsite itself was beautiful with a lovely view and super easy river access. Everything was spotless—truly one of the cleanest and best-maintained sites we’ve stayed at. We will absolutely be back and are already recommending it to friends.
Thank you for such an amazing option!

My friends and I had a great time camping here! The dirt road going to the campsite was very easy to drive on and some of our group even had low cars. We were lucky enough to be there during a black moon and the stars were amazing.

This was a really cool campsite—we felt instantly transported to nature the moment we arrived. It’s kind of wild how remote and peaceful it feels considering how close it is to neighborhoods and amenities (Wawa’s not far!). That contrast was actually one of the things we loved most; it felt like a hidden world tucked just out of view.
The campsite itself was exactly as described: private, peaceful, and perched right alongside a beautiful creek. We went for a swim, listened to the water flow all night, and enjoyed dry, well-seasoned firewood that was included with the rental. That detail alone made campfire meals and evening hangs so much easier and more enjoyable.
The access road was fine for our Subaru Crosstrek with no issues getting in or out. The host was clear, transparent, and accurate in their listing, which we really appreciated.
It was peak mosquito season while we were there (July after lots of rain) so come prepared. Also, the train went by a few times—not all night—but it’s definitely part of the soundscape. For us, it didn’t take away from the experience as we expected it based on the listing.
We booked this for a birthday weekend for our son and everyone had a great time. Net net: secluded, well maintained, close to nature but not far from the real world. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

We had a blast at Raceway Retreat. We were grateful to the owners for having the site ready to go for a great weekend. The site was equipped with chairs, fire pit with cooking grate, string lights, tiki torches and level camping pads. Thanks for sharing your property with us!
