Amazing place to camp and explore a farm full of animals and crops. The host Andrea is also an absolutely inspirational person, her and her husband Michael are running a whole operation. I got a tour of the farm from Andrea when I arrived and it was immediately obvious how passionate, dedicated, and informed she was about every detail. And hearing about all the shenanigans the animals cause felt like getting a recap of a reality show lol. Also the bathroom amazing! It’s literally nicer than any hotel bathroom I’ve been at. Will definitely be back with friends!

Andrea and Michael have created a sweet little spot complete with many well-cared for animals! I got in late so decided to purchase some wood for ease of starting a fire and it was well-seasoned and easy to start. The bathroom was great to grab a hot shower before continuing on with travels. The only lowlight was the nearby road sound. I imagine in an RV or lodging it is probably not really heard but in a tent, I had a tough time blocking it out. All in, it provided a great place for me to stop along my travels up the coast.

We spent two nights here and had a great time- we enjoyed meeting their dogs, the cats they feed, and the farm animals, and the bath house honestly looks nicer than many full on hotels I’ve stayed in before.
Michael and Andrea are really welcoming and kind hosts and you can tell they really want campers staying on their land to have a good time. Both went out of their way to introduce themselves and make sure we were comfortable. We had mentioned in passing that we were there to do some birding and came back to an article on the best birding spots in the area printed and left at our tent, which was really thoughtful!
We bought some of their eggs and they are delicious

We had a great time tent camping at the Huck and Buck farm. Plenty of space for our dog and we enjoyed the firewood option. The bathroom was awesome and we got a great tour of the farm! Would definitely go back!

Weekend Trip to Huck and Buck Farm Sanctuary
We had a great stay at Huck & Buck Farm! The tiny home was perfect for our couple's getaway. It is tiny but it had everything we needed. Bed (pretty sure it was a queen size), refrigerator, microwave, Keurig and coffee bar, plates, silverware, cups, and more. There was a deck with seating and a private hot tub, a firepit with additional seating for chillin' or cooking. And very nice bathrooms. The tiny home also has air conditioning and heating, so it is suitable to stay in all year.
Andrea & Michael are hospitable and were responsive to a couple of additional needs we had during our stay.
The area is quiet yet close enough to the main town for places to eat if you don't want to cook on the fire pit or if the weather isn't cooperating.
We'll be back again!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Huck and Buck Farm Sanctuary, and I must say it was an incredibly relaxing and heartwarming experience. This unique "bring your own tent" retreat offers a peaceful escape where you can connect with nature and, most importantly, some of the sweetest farm animals I've ever met.The highlight of my stay was definitely the animals. I spent hours interacting with the chickens, whose beautiful and vibrant feathers made each one feel like a work of art. The large turkeys were such characters—so talkative and full of personality! I had so much fun just listening to their distinctive calls.The ducks were absolutely lovable, and the goats were friendly, playful, and so photogenic! Of course, I can’t forget the pigs—especially the big, friendly ones that seemed to just want belly rubs all day long. But the true star of the show for me was the adorable little pot-bellied pig, who I couldn’t resist renaming "Oreo" due to his charming personality and color.The farm also had some sweet, curious cats roaming around, and I had a few delightful encounters with them. And let's not forget the pond duck—so cute and peaceful, adding to the serene atmosphere of the whole place.As for the facilities, I was beyond impressed with the bathroom! It was so luxurious and cozy, with a warm, welcoming vibe, complete with little good luck charms scattered around. It was a small detail, but it added to the overall sense of comfort and care the farm provides.

I loved tent camping at Huck & Buck. Andrea was incredibly accommodating and made sure we were comfortable in preparation for a pretty cold night. The bathroom is pristine and a nice touch if you need to ease into tent camping. We loved being able to see the animals and watch them play around. I highly recommend booking this space!

Gary is very friendly and responds to questions about his property in a timely manner. He meets you when you arrive and directs you to a campsite. I’ve been here twice this year and plan on returning. Recommend for those looking to do a little dispersed camping.

Super quick stop on our road trip but plenty of time to experience wonderful hospitality. The clean bath house with hot water was the best. Andrea checked on us even though we arrived late and gave me a tour of the land to help us settle in. I would definitely stop again if I’m out this way!

What a fun night we had at Huck & Buck Farm! It was our maiden voyage for our new RV and Andrea and Michael's farm could not have been a better choice for us. Andrea is so patient and generous and made sure we had a full tour of their place. I honestly don't think she ever stops working. LOVED all the animals -- too many chickens to count, ducks, goats, pigs, and turkeys. It's amazing what they have done with their farm and I want to return to see what they build next. We brought home eggs and chicken and would have brought home some late season peppers but time got away from us. We also brought our two dogs and their property is plenty big enough to take nice walks.

I loved camping on Garry's land. Garry was great and so was Lisa, his permanent resident. The campsite was clean and very peaceful. The other campers were respectful. Had a very peaceful, reflective experience...which was much needed as I mourned a loved one's passing. Will definitely go again.

Lakeside camping in Delaware guide
Overview
Waterfront camping on one of Delaware's lakes or ponds offers some of the best views in the state. Although Bellevue State Park's Bellevue Lake is available for day-use only, it's possible to choose your camping style all over the state, from lakefront RV campsites and tent camping to cute cabins, cottages, and yurts that put you right on the water's edge. The most popular spots include Trap Pond State Park, Lums Pond State Park, the Lake Como Recreation Area in Blackbird State Forest, and Silver Lake outside Rehoboth Beach near the ocean, but no matter where you go lake camping, you're likely to find tent and RV campsites, electric hookups, picnic areas, and good times.
