Kingsley Orchards, LLC

5 sites · RVs, Tents36 acres · Frankford, DE
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 parties, events and several campsites on our farm.

Why Not Acres

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents17 acres · Frankford, DE
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.

Country Camping Near Beaches

3 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Milton, DE
Camp in a backyard in a quiet area with a barn and horses nearby. Site 1 has water hookup and a 30 amp and 110 outlet available. Site 2 has water access and a 110 outlet available. Site 3 is for tent camping only and is more secluded. It does have water access available. These sites are a great spot to watch the sunset or watch the stars at night. These all are self contained camping spots. I do have two very friendly dogs that will most likely come say hi to you. Dewey Beer is 1 mile away in Harbeson. Lewes beach is only about 10 minutes away and Rehoboth beach is about 20 minutes away. Sports at the beach is only 5 miles away. Tanger outlets is 8 miles away. Delaware Turf sports complex is 24 miles. There are many great restaurants and shopping nearby. Feel free to ask for recommendations!

Ranch camping in Delaware guide

Overview

Whether you want a cabin getaway or a seaside campsite, Delaware has something for everyone. All throughout the state, you’ll find stunning scenery, family campgrounds, and plenty of beaches. Channel your inner surfer or recline with a good book on the shores of Rehoboth Beach, or book a Delaware campground closer to Pennsylvania. On the northern end of the coast, Wilmington sits along the Delaware River with water fun and recreational activities for campers. If you prefer the woods over the beach, head inland, where Delaware's state parks are begging to be explored.

Where to go

Redden State Forest

Sleep under the stars in one of Delaware'ss largest forests. Redden State Forest caters to all kinds of campers. You can book a tent site with access to the park’s biking, hiking, and horseback riding trails. Campsites remain open year-round, so you can grill, roast s’mores, and cozy up during your Delaware getaway.

Killens Pond State Park

Head North of Redden State Forest to Killens Pond State Park. As the name suggests, the park is all about the water. You can fish, kayak, and canoe on-site, as well as explore the park’s waterpark. The whole family will enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk, while the nature center is a bird-watcher’s dream. Campsites remain open year-round, with tent sites, cabin rentals, and RV sites with hookups.

Cape Henlopen State Park

Set on an old military base, Cape Henlopen State Park has it all: history, trails, campsites— oh, and did we mention beaches? The park overlooks Delaware Bay, so campsites are never far from the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the best of Delaware beaches, like Lewes Beach. Camp at Tall Pines Campground Resort for your choice of cabin, RV, or tent campsite. Or, head south along the Indian River inlet. Stop at Delaware Seashore State Park, and check-in to a family-friendly RV park, tent campsite, or resort of your choosing.

When to go

The Atlantic Ocean stuns year-round, but Delaware is a coastal state—so come when you can most enjoy the coast. For some campers, that means tent camping in the summer, when Delaware beaches peak. For other campers, however, the shoulder seasons are the perfect time for a Delaware rental. Book an RV campsite with a bathhouse, picnic table, and wifi, and you may not notice if the weather sours.
