Delaware’s state parks are an underrated gem of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. While most think of our neighbor states and their mountains, hills, and lakes as excellent getaways for nature lovers, here in the First State, we’ve got a few wonders of our own! If you’re looking for an easy-to-plan and truly enjoyable fall camping getaway, head to Trap Pond State Park in Laurel.

Trap Pond is a beautiful place to spend a few nights when the weather cools off and the leaves start to change.
