Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

Very nice place homeowner TJ’s is very friendly facility has a quiet area for camping, fishing soccer fields, lots of woodland, bathhouse is clean. No complains will stay there again.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

On a bicycle tour and ended up camping at Strawberry Crossroads. Last minute registration was a breeze. The site itself was a large field with tree lined edges with a table and fire pit at each site. We were pretty spread out so it was pretty quiet. I was able to talk to TJ a little and told him the thing I appreciated most was the cleanliness of the shower/bath house facilities. They were what I call better than “camp clean” in that you could walk on the floors with no fear. I would recommend it for anyone looking to pitch a tent for a night or two or three.

Amazing place to go it's beautiful with so much to explore.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

The camp space was awesome, wish I had more time to explore the property. I was in for a weekend basketball tournament and this was a great way to spend the evening relaxing. I frequent many campgrounds and have to say the shower experience was almost the best. Love me a game of horseshoes as well, nice touch! Just watch for tics, as any place! Thank you TJ!

Weekend Trip to Willow Oak 1

What a beautiful place to camp. We stayed right by a pond surrounded by trees. It was so peaceful and exactly what we needed after a hectic work week. We have already talked about returning.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

Went back and visited early in the season this time and the experience was just as amazing. Gorgeous sunrise, lots of turtles and frogs to see. Great space, when the bathrooms needed restocking it was done almost instantly. Definitely our families favorite spot for the year!

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

Great experience, excellent host. Definitely will be back

Weekend Trip to Triple Sevens Farm

We were very happy to find this great spot so close to us. Great for those times you want to camp but you don't want to drive for hours to feel like you got away! We parked right by the pond. It's just secluded enough, and surrounded by a wooded area. There was a large group of tenters around the bend but we barely knew they were there. The lit fountain at night was a nice touch. The dogs enjoyed running free. Noah checked in with us to make sure all was well, and we were excited to find a Walmart 5 minutes away for the things we forgot to pack..we will be back.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

Very peaceful place with clean bathrooms with hot water. Beds were comfortable enough to fall asleep after a long day. The only down side was the proximity to the next camper. We were blessed to have considerate neighbors. Would come back.

Weekend Trip to Willow Oak 1

If you're looking for a beautiful, natural off grid experience in Delaware, look no further. From the pond and beautiful wooded scenery to the walking trails and outstanding bird watching, this place doesn't disappoint. The hosts were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Woke up daily with a view of the pond and the woods that made us not want to leave. This camp is a must for anyone seeking a beautiful off grid experience. We are already planning our next get away here.
