Discover Lums Pond State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Lums Pond State Park is a small, 1,720-acre park near the town of Bear, DE. The pond was first created in the 1800s when the St Georges Creek was dammed as part of the project to build the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal. The canal needed several locks and water from the pond was used to fill them, and thus it became a popular recreational area before being declared a state park in 1963.

Leiry was an amazing host! She was very responsive and helpful. This was my first experience using a camper van. Leiry answered all my questions and made me feel confident using the van and all its amenities. The van had everything I needed for my trip!

Pretty much like a standard car from the early 2000s with a slightly different gearshift. Easy communication with the owner through the app and texting.

Successful trip. Great communication and easy to understand directions. This was my first time renting with outdoorsy and everything went as planned. The van was very easy to drive and navigate. Highly recommend.
