The concierge service was top-notch with the most friendly and accommodating staff we’ve ever encountered.

• Theme weeks and theme weekends with tons of fun activities to go with each theme.

Bike riding through the campground is really popular with the kids.

Our kids also really enjoyed the resort pool and the s’mores kit that we had delivered to our cottage each evening.

The resort has a nice size playground and an activities pavilion for the little kids.

5. Fun Adult Activities

So, it’s not ALL about the kids!

The adults have to have fun too, right?

And fun we had!

In addition to the convenience of having a beer & wine store on the premises, Sun Outdoors also has their Jackspot Pool Bar.

The swimming pool is divided into 2 sections: 1 section is for anybody under 21 years of age and 1 section is for anybody 21 and over.

With palm trees, hibiscus flowers, and great music playing, swimming up to the pool bar and enjoying one of their amazing mixed drinks was a luxury we couldn’t pass up.

And after you’ve drank some of those frou-frou drinks and eaten all of that great food, there’s the option to exercise in their fitness center or take one of their fitness classes offered on the property.

6. Lots of Family Activities

Sun Outdoors’ family activities are plentiful.

You can kayak in Paddle Cove, cruise around in golf carts, ride bikes, roast marshmallows over the fire pit, fish and crab at the pier, hang out at the beach, or take a cruise on Rehoboth Bay.

There are so many memories to be made together.

7. Extremely Dog Friendly

Everybody knows that we dog lovers look at our dogs as members of the family.

So why shouldn’t they be able to join us on vacation too?

This campground is the pet friendliest place we’ve ever vacationed!

They even offer dog walking services and dog snacks!

We saw dogs enjoying themselves with their families everywhere throughout the campground:

• Dog Beach – a designated beach area for dogs and their humans
• On a leash inside the Welcome Center
• Dog Park

Our dog Stella had a fantastic time and cannot wait to visit again!

If you’re here long enough, you might want to venture off-site to check out other things to do in the area.

Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay offers free shuttles – a short drive from the campground with easy access to Rehoboth Beach.

We decided to take a little day trip to Ocean City, which is about 60 minutes from the campground.
