Givens Pond 11
This was the perfect place for our family to get away and enjoy some quality family time. We had a blast fishing the pond (we caught bass, pickerel and sunnies) and our six kids enjoyed the water slide most of all. Everyone we met during our stay was friendly, the owner was welcoming and has seriously thought of everything. We were offered the use of a canoe during our stay, life jackets provided for all ages and we even had the privilege of a boat ride around the pond. If you are looking for a place where you will want to come back again and again this is the place. We truly enjoyed having the opportunity to share in the owners little slice of heaven and hope to come back. Very dog and kid friendly: we are a family of 8 + dog.
Spent 3 nights at Givens Pond and was very happy. It's a gorgeous place with very accommodating owners . The full time renters were
All very friendly and it was fun to watch the skiing and also my son had a great time fishing. Highly recommended.
Small home town venue with a very friendly camp feel. The lake was great and watching the water skiing was so cool. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We had site 1 and our guest in site 2 was awesome. Pet friendly was a major plus. I’m sure we will be back. Great stay.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: The pond was pretty, and we had it mostly to ourselves. The host met us when we arrived, showed us to our spot, and had firewood available, which we appreciated.
Unfortunately, the flies were overwhelming. We went to Lowe’s that night and spent about $85 on bug lights and traps trying to make it manageable. By morning, our tent was infested, and we decided we couldn’t stay the second night we had booked. At that point, my review would simply have said the setting was pretty, but the current fly situation made camping extremely difficult.
UPDATED REVIEW AFTER OUR INTERACTION WITH THE HOST: The host came by while we were packing. We explained why we were leaving and asked for a refund for the unused second night. He initially agreed. He later came back, asked us not to leave a bad review, and told us he would not refund the second night if we did.
I told him I hadn’t planned to leave a bad review, but I did need to honestly mention the flies so future campers could make an informed decision. I don’t fault anyone for nature or insects. However, conditioning a refund for an unused night on whether a guest leaves a negative review completely changed my impression of the experience.

I had a great time at Givens Pond. The views were beautiful and it was peaceful. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. There was another couple there and they were water skiing all around the pond. They even gave me a boat ride around the pond. All in all in was great time and I will definitely be going back for another weekend.
This was our second stay here and, honestly, it was just as wonderful as the first. The space is clean, comfortable, and feels like a true getaway. The hosts are kind, responsive, and make everything super easy. It’s peaceful, well maintained, and we left feeling recharged. Highly recommended, and we’d happily come back again.
Amazing serenity, epic fishing, moonlit pond . Heaven on Earth. I not only will be booking again. I will be hosting an event there.
Nice property i liked camping 🏕 by the water! U can see the reflections of the stars moon and fireworks on the water at night absolutely gorgeous! The hosts were friendly too helped plenty with my stay especially setting up my tent! 🥰

This is a wonderful location! The host was extreamly friendly and pleasant. This is a hidden gem of an area and was very peaceful on the pond. I will be booking here again in the future!
An absolute hidden gem! The property is gorgeous, quiet, and offers a wonderful connection to nature. Our host went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed while still giving us plenty of privacy. It’s the perfect place to sit back by the fire and unplug. We loved every minute and can't wait to visit again!
I booked here for a week. I was very happy to see the beautiful view from all the sites! The sites are not too close to each other, there is a lake that has a swimming dock with slide and a pavilion. The lake and sites are surrounded by trees. Water and electric were easily accessible. The host was very kind and helpful. He even offered to loan me leveling blocks if I needed them, and told me he could provide a table with umbrella if I wanted. I even chose to extended my stay for 3 extra days. I can't say enough good things about Givens Pond! I will definitely stay here again when I'm in the area
Raymond’s campground was amazing! The pond was great for swimming and the fishing was very good. The campground isn’t too far from Trap Pond State Park so I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re thinking of visiting the park. Also only 40 minutes from Bethany Beach. Raymond was incredibly friendly and had everything we needed. Plenty of firewood, picnic tables, and some canoes for the pond as well. Would definitely go back!

Givens pond is a beautiful little oasis. The hosts were delightful as were the other campers that were there. Watched lots of skiing and was even invited on a boat ride.
