We stayed at Cape Henlopen State park for 3 days in May. It is a very nice park wwith paved, level sites, some shade and picnic tables. The bathrooms are very nice and clean. They are individual rooms with a shower, toilet and sink. The campground is adjacent to the ferry terminal. We went over to Cape May NJ for the day. We had a nice time looking at the Victorian painted lady homes and visiting the shore. We also stayed at Pocomoke state park also - another very nice park and campground.

REPEL Tick Defense in a red can. 15% Picaridin. Repels Ticks & Mosquitoes for up to 10 HRS. Can be applied to clothing.

Beside the deer ticks on the label, one other thing to beware of in the south is the lone star tick. The problem is that the bite of that tick can activate an allergy to the alpha-gal sugar found in non-primate mammalian (red) meat. I am guessing that this product works to repel them as well.

StephenH, thanks for the Picaridin suggestion. Any particular brand you like? I did get a rash a couple years about from DEET, I was using it heavily for several weeks while I was in India in an area with endemic malaria. Here I shower it off as soon as I'm done working outside. Never noticed any neur a neur a neurological effects Dead

I hate the blanket fogging, kills the tree frogs. I'd rather put up with the skeeters.

I have one of the small Black Flag thermal foggers. The mosquitoes do not seem to be affected by it at all. As an alternative to DEET, I have been using products containing Picaridin. It seems to be effective and is supposed to be less hazardous than DEET which is absorbed through the skin and is a neurotoxin.

Dave,
Really love it down there. We have been several times over the last few years! Thought we’re had big mosquitoes up north but must admit, they don’t compare to the ones down here on the coast.
The campground has a truck that runs around doing that also..........went right by as we were setting up, got a cloud of the spray!!]]> Fri, 28 Sep 2018 17:36:56 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12258&PID=115809#115809 RV Resort at Carolina Crossroads : Stop by on your way down next... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12258&PID=115808#115808 Author: fwunder

Leo,
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Chincoteague Island and you were able to enjoy its "official" bird the  mosquito! I spent part of my youth in the 60's growing up on Post Office street, located in town, and have fond memories of the mosquito control truck going down the street spraying out a cloud of diesel smoke mixed with DDT!

Hoping to stop at Asseateague Island next fall on the way down for a week or so. Going to have to come up with some type of Kevlar made outfit to fish in.

Skeeters always go crazy on the coast about a week after a hurricane. All the rain followed by warm humid weather. They're really bad here on the OBX too after Florence. 

In case anyone is interested the Cape Hatteras Seashore campgrounds at Frisco and Ocracoke are open, and NC12 is now open again on Ocracoke as well. Ferries are running...But if you head this way, bring lots of DEET.

Gonna try to get down Assateauge before November (if dw get's cast off ankle). Got some good local reviews of Cape Henlopen  Might have to try that too. 

Were you on bayside or ocean side Assateauge? Skeeters are a pain.
