The Resort at Massey’s Landing in Millsboro, Del. is one of the premier camping destinations in the region. Build from the ground up with the recreational traveler in mind, the resort provides as much or as little to do as you might feel you need.
Although the resort is extremely popular with RVers, there are plenty of cottages for people who want the experience but lack the gear. One of the things that makes Massey’s Landing so popular is that although you have access to the Delaware beaches and nightlife in only a short drive, you feel as if you’re in the middle of nowhere. If you want to spend your week (or long weekend) without leaving the resort, there still is plenty to do.
