37mi from Bethany Beach · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to the Unplugged Forest of Mason Dixon Outfarm. Located on the Delmarva Peninsula, the Unplugged Forest offers a rare blend of history, nature, and privacy, for you are the only one enjoying the space.
We sit directly on the Mason–Dixon Line, marked by an original 1764 historical stone dividing Federalsburg, MD and Bridgeville, DE. Though just five miles from either town, the forest feels completely secluded.
Our farm spans 41 acres. Thirty-one acres hold our homestead, while the remaining 10 acres, your camping sanctuary—sitting along side a dirt road, separated by a peaceful non-tidal creek. This setting allows you to unplug while staying close to popular destinations like Easton, St. Michaels, Cambridge, and Ocean City, MD, as well as Milford, Milton, Rehoboth, and Lewes, DE
all within an hour.
We’ve intentionally created an off-grid, calming nature experience. You’ll be surrounded by forest, open farmland and abundant wildlife. Native gardens, fruit & nut trees and herbs were planted near the tent areas in September 2024, offering beauty and a deeper connection to the land.
Enjoy thoughtfully placed gathering spaces throughout the forest, including a whimsical Forest Tea Party area and Uncontained, our cozy repurposed shipping container—perfect for reading, board games, or shelter during a summer pop-up thunderstorm. A nature -made hammock area amongst tall pine trees is perfect for afternoon naps and are provided by us (7) Fire-pit seating, picnic tables, a charcoal grill, and a propane cooktop are also available.
Walk the short Jeremiah Dixon & Charles Mason Trail, a path similar to one they would have taken in the 1700s. Follow it through the forest and across the creek to our homestead, where you can place one foot in Maryland and one in Delaware at the historic Mason–Dixon marker beneath an old wild cherry tree.
Before heading back, stop at the main farm gate to visit our friendly goats—Dixie, Dolly, and Star.
Come rest, wander, and reconnect—for this calming experience is where time slows and nature leads.

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.

I was planning to camp at a State Park but made a last minute change, and I am so glad that I did. I stayed 2 nights, and I camp quite a bit, so I know a great camp site when I see it!
Camp layout & privacy: There are several designated spaces to choose for your tent. They are all in nicely shaded spots, and the ground was pleasantly soft. You have the entire place to yourself, with no visible neighbors, though you will hear occasional (minimal) road noise.
Amenities: Shayne has thought of everything, and then a few more things! I am used to very primitive camping, but it was cool to see that some camping essentials were also provided. This would be a great place for people who are just getting started camping! The Uncontained indoor space was amazing. It smelled of lavendar and provided a very sophisticated indoor space. The fire pit and chairs were perfect, and I made use of the throw blankets when the evening around the fire got chilly. The bathroom was very clean and well maintained, and there was even a handwashing station. I also enjoyed several hours in the hammock.
Local area: Right by the site is a small walking trail, as well as a bridge where you can feed the turtles. I did both :) The nearby towns provide any essentials you may have forgotten, and I enjoyed a river walk in nearby Federalsburg. I also was able to drive 1 hr to visit Assateague Island, which was a bucket list item for me!

I cannot praise Shayne’s Hipcamp enough. I stayed here with my pooch for two days and we had everything we could possibly need.
While staying at this Hipcamp, you’re offered 4 sites to tent that are all within a super quick walk to the Porta-Potty and the refurbished shipping container (Uncontained). Though the directions are very clear and consise, Shayne is still there to meet you to show you where everything is & answer any questions you have. We tent camped at the “mushroom” site which was very well shaded and close to both the bathroom and Uncontained. We had firewood waiting for us along with any camping amenities you could think of. Night 2 got colder than we’d anticipated and Shayne informed us we were more than welcome to utilize the cots in the Uncontained and stay in there which we did. She’s put a ton of work into making this spot the perfect place to getaway from the well maintained property to the whimsical tea party setup near the Uncontained to the endless supply of camping amenities you may have forgotten to pack. If we’re back in the area we know where we’ll be staying. Thank you for everything Shayne!

Site is very natural and wild, which is lovely! However, there is no sign, and the road is overgrown, so be sure to arrive in daylight.
Bring bug protection, as it is right by the water and loaded.
We arrived at night and ended up calling the host for directions after being lost. She answered! She was very kind friendly helpful and informative. I look for.ward to returning to this zen oasis.

Great no frills, hidden but accesible spot along a beautiful tidal creek. Be up for sunrise and coffee while the fish jump, terrapins wade and mist rises into the dawn. Dusk is equally as beautiful and not as buggy as one would expect. Recommend for those looking for a quick wild camp set up!

Charming, carefully/well thought out set•up; uncontained is adorable!!! Even though I didn’t get around to checking out the trail this time, I definitely would during another stay! Yes, I plan on returning!! Host is super friendly, responsive, and helpful. Unfortunately, I had to cut my time there short when I started not feeling too well (totally unrelated to the camping experience/campsite, fyi), and the host was very gracious around that and helpful with that unexpected issue!!

We had such a terrific time at Jill's place camping with the family this weekend. Jill was one of the best hosts we have ever had. The site had a beautiful view of the pond and trails and plenty quiet spots to sit and relax.
Jill let the kids pick flowers and we loved having the opportunity to go inside her workshop where she makes the best cremes and hand made ceramic pots. We ended up buying a box full as gifts for friends and family.
This site is highly recommended and we are definitely looking forward to staying here again.
