HORSES WELCOME! Why not run your horse on the beach, then come to our campsites to relax for the rest of your day. There is a fenced pasture positioned next to the sites so you can see your faithful friend enjoying some grass or hay. We have a new Zinger 29' trailer set up with a bunk room and another bedroom, full kitchen and bathroom. It can easily sleep six people. If you have your own RV, we have a full hook up at the same area. The pasture where your horse stays will also have hay, water and shelter with a run-in. This is a sanctuary for our animals. We have nine animals here, four horses (some minnies) and five donkeys (some minnies). By staying here, you will be helping us to support our animals. We are in Frankford, De which is close to all the beaches and parks. There are many shopping adventures awaiting you, either outlets or upcycle stores. If you just want to relax, there is a small pond out back stocked with bass and turtles. We have 17+ acres but we only use the front five acres and leave the rest for the deer, foxes, eagles, hawks and whatever else shows up. We believe this is Heaven on earth and would love to share it will you. So please come, stay at our farm and relax. We are here year round.

Pitch your tent or park your RV on our historic 36-acre blueberry farm. Picnic tables, charcoal grills, and fire pits are located on lots. We are a newly renovated farm that has an almost 60-year history. Very close to Delaware and Ocean City Beaches! Our property is also monitored by security cameras.
Once owned by Tom Ryan and part of the 100+ acres of Ryan's Berry Farm, Kingsley Orchards now owns the middle 36 acres and market building of the historic farm.
Efforts paid off and the farm and market opened in June 2017 with a beautiful crop of blueberries and many multi-generational customers coming back with their children. The best outcome has been the opportunity to share growing food with children and helping them learn a love for outdoors and farming. Many of the customers remember their own grandparents bringing them to the farm! We had customers from age 1 to 89 picking blueberries
We also offer a climate controlled venue for weddings, birthday parties, & any other events. Cypress Winds (302-362-1036)

State park 35mi from Bethany Beach · 207 sites
With 15,000 wooded acres, Pocomoke River State Park’s claim to fame is its stand of loblolly pine and cypress swamps bordering a wild and scenic river. It’s divided into two parts, Shad Landing (south side) and Milburn Landing (north side), which are about a 25 minute drive apart. The combination of ecosystems means the park is home to a plethora of plant and animal life including white dogwood and pink laurel trees, river otters, bald eagles and over 50 species of fish.There is no shortage of traditional camping activities, but the park also boasts an Olympic-sized swimming pool in case you decide “I can’t take this no more," and make like Squints from the Sandlot. The park's name may mean black water, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take your baby down to Pocomoke where you can get there fast and then take it slow.

Quiet rural area with forest beside a working farm. You can see lots of deer and wild turkey from the primitive camp sites that look out under the trees to the ag field. We're near all Delaware beaches, Ocean City, Maryland, and Nanticoke River boat ramps and canoe launches. Like to ride bikes - find a bike trail nearby at Redden Forest, or at Trap Pond State Park or if you want paved riding, try the Georgetown-LewesTrail. Want to take a tour of a local brewery? Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Milton - local tours. October camping? Don't forget to book the 1st full weekend in October and you won't miss the Apple Scrapple Festival in Bridgeville. Food, crafts, antique cars, rides, vendors and did I say food?Best of both worlds - solitude and forest camping but near the crowded beaches and rivers.

Gunn Island
Drop Off. Disconnect. Explore.
Where Freedom, Adventure, and Nature Meet.
Escape to a private island retreat on Delaware's scenic St. Jones River, just minutes from historic Dover. Accessible only by canoe, kayak, or small boat, Gunn Island offers a rare opportunity to reserve an entire island for your group and leave the noise of everyday life behind.
Paddle across calm waters, fish from the shoreline, explore wooded trails, relax beneath towering trees, and watch majestic bald eagles soar overhead. Whether you're seeking adventure, solitude, or quality time with family and friends, Gunn Island delivers an unforgettable outdoor experience.
Rich in local history, the island is located in an area connected to the Underground Railroad, where freedom seekers once traveled Delaware's waterways in pursuit of a better life. Today, that same spirit of freedom and exploration remains.
When you reserve Gunn Island, you enjoy exclusive access to the entire island. We host only one group at a time, ensuring privacy, tranquility, and a truly immersive outdoor experience. Perfect for camping, kayaking, fishing, birdwatching, family adventures, scout outings, and digital-detox weekends.
Most people can say they've gone camping. Very few can say they've spent the weekend on their own private island.
Other Things to Note
Guests launch from the nearby Lebanon Landing public boat dock, where free public parking is available. Limited kayak and canoe transportation may be available by prior arrangement.
Only one group is permitted on the island at a time. Campers under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Guests are responsible for vehicles and personal property left at the public launch area.
Leave the shore behind.

My husband and I with our 3 children had so much fun staying in a mini cabin at Strawberry Crossroads. They have some goats that would visit us in the morning, which was so fun. Grateful for the cleanliness of the bathrooms/showers. Having mattresses already on the beds was also very helpful. Felt very comfortable and safe there. Great place to camp!

Just like the description says..."Run your horse on the beach, then come to our campsites to relax"
That's exactly what we did! And we had a great weekend! This was our 2nd visit to Why Not Acres and we hope to return again!
We brought 2 horses. There is a great paddock right near the RV sites and tent sites...fenced with a run in shed. We felt totally comfortable with the horses being safe and no risk of running away.
Assateague is only 35 minutes away, so we were able to go for the day and ride the beach and then come back for a nice campfire, dinner and relax!
Or you can ride on the property. They have trails in the woods and a good space for the horses (or the people) to stretch their legs without leaving.
Marian and Mike are such great hosts. They are wonderful people who care very much about their property, the animals in their care and of course about the experience of their visitors! Thank you so much for making our stay great!
This is an outstanding camping or RV option if you're looking for something in this area.
We really do look forward to our next visit.

The owners were super friendly and accommodating. When we arrived there was a glitch in our reservations, but they resolved the issue quickly. The land and was beautiful, quiet and called for us to relax and enjoy! RV sites were clean, well maintained and had full hookup! Hubby caught quite a few bass in their pond, and our dogs loved playing in the woods. Their rescue donkeys were full of personality and we loved visiting them! We will definitely return!

Island Getaway is such a fun and unique experience and LaMar was an incredibly conscientious host. We had to cut our trip a bit short unfortunately due to weather and could only stay for one night but we are already trying to make plans to return with friends. We saw the most amazing wildlife like otters, herons, and bald eagles. If it wasn’t for the unfortunate weather it would have been a perfect camping trip. It is true that you can hear sounds from the road and from the air base at night. But honestly, I didn’t mind it at all.

This was such a wonderful place! Dawn is so sweet and the space is extraordinary. The horses, highland cows, turkeys, chickens, dogs, and donkey are really a nice treat, and seeing the animals being tended to and the inner workings of a farm is really a refreshing experience.
The location is within 20 minutes to Cape Henlopen, 45 minutes to Ocean City, and 55 minutes to Assateague Island. Plenty of restaurants, gas stations, and grocery stores within a few minutes. We took a 23 foot travel trailer. We emptied our tanks at Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay RV park 10 minutes down the road.
The site was quiet, private, and very well maintained. Water and electric at the site. Starlink gets great service! PLENTY of wood to scavenge for in the vast forest for campfires
One of our favorite things was the sweet little terrier who lived on the property. She visited us everyday and followed us around. She was so sweet and loved being pet.
Thanks Dawn, and we can’t wait to come back!
