Located in Central Delaware, approximately 35 miles from Rehoboth Beach and 65 miles from Wilmington, is the 66 acre millpond known as Killens Pond, which was established in the 1700s. The Pondside Trail, which intersects the park’s campground, offers beautiful and peaceful moments for enjoying Killens Pond and the Murderkill River. The pond is home to largemouth bass, catfish, carp, perch, crappie, bluegills, and pickerel, all of which await the patient angler (fishing license required).

Nice camping at a great price. Sites don't have sewer, wifi or cable (which is normal for a State park) but the water and electricity were solid. There is a nice walking path around the lake and several other activities. Online registration was easy. I had a pleasant time here.
