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.

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.

I’m a dedicated real estate agent and farmer, blending my passion for land, community, and sustainability at Huck and Buck Farm in Smyrna, DE. Our farm is more than a retreat—it’s an experience, offering A-frame cabin, tent and RV stays, with a hands-on Farm Hand Course. We offer fresh, sustainably raised pork, poultry and chicken eggs, along with growing beautiful seasonal flowers and produce. With a focus on outdoor farm adventures, education, and reconnecting with nature, I’m creating a space where families, businesses, and individuals can explore, learn, and grow.

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 trees, 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.

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.

Big open field so great for groups. We brought out volleyball net and had loads of room. There are trees for shade but you have to move around some - so bring a cover & Watch your water / food so it doesn’t sit out. The alpaca tour was amazing - Phil is so sweet and generous with his time.

Very nice property. The private pond and the surrounding property are beautiful. Although there are houses on the perimeter of the property, you can’t really see them and it feels like you are in the middle of the forest (which you kind of are!). The privacy is just right since there are only 5 sites (4 tent or pull in RV sites and 1 Cabin) and they are spread out around the pond with plenty of space between each. The owners, Dan and Carol, were absolutely phenomenal. Dan came by on his golf cart every day to check on me (I was solo camping in the Cabin). Carol also came with him once. Aside from the privacy and rest/relaxation that I desperately needed, the best part was meeting Dan and Carol. Super nice hosts! Anyone looking for an off grid camping experience should camp here!

Emily's Place was the perfect basecamp for some of my favorite outdoor adventures. Nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees, the campsite stayed cool and comfortable throughout the day. A gentle breeze flowed through the woods, creating the kind of peaceful atmosphere that makes it easy to forget about schedules and simply enjoy being outdoors. What made the location especially appealing was its convenience. Within a short drive were several of my favorite crabbing spots, beautiful Delaware beaches, and state parks ideal for kayaking and biking. Whether I wanted to paddle a quiet waterway, explore miles of trails, or spend the day by the ocean, everything was close by. There were also plenty of great local restaurants within ten minutes whenever I felt like taking a break from camp cooking. One day, I made the 45-minute trip to Assateague Island to see the famous wild horses. Watching them roam freely along the shoreline was well worth the drive and added another memorable experience to the trip. Back at camp, Ron proved to be an exceptional host. He checked in to make sure I had everything I needed and was always available if questions came up. The generous supply of firewood was a welcome bonus, making it easy to cook outdoors and enjoy evenings around the fire. After long days spent on the beach and crabbing the clean facilities made it easy to relax and freshen up.
Emily's Place felt less like a campground and more like a home base for exploring all DE has to offer.

Probably one of the prettiest if not the prettiest Hip Camp spots we’ve ever stayed at. Not only were the views gorgeous, but it was quiet and secluded. Don’t make the mistake we made and forget the bathroom is at the farm which is not super close. Other than that I cannot say enough good things about this spot. Oh and bring some binoculars, because the bird watching was amazing.

Thanks Ron! Was a great and secluded spot with privacy from neighbors and im sure more so once the corn grows tall. Felt safe and secure with the thick wooded viney perimeter. Perfectly manicured sandy area with all you need for a few nights of outdoors like string lights, a fire pit, a grill, and seating. We brought too much of gear not realizing all that is provided. Great view of the stars on a clear night as well, wish I had a telescope with me. 30 mins from the beach and surf fishing. I wish I had caught some to throw on the provided park grill. Ron likes fresh fish so feel free to share if you get a good haul. Appreciate all the fire wood and use of the camper facilities. Hopefully we can stay again in the fall. 5 outta 5 will stay again. Everyone can ignore the bad reviews about the stuff in the front yard. A retired man has to have his hobbies fixing stuff up. The camping area is amazing and he rakes the sand like its a zen garden. Thanks again Ron for sharing your little oasis and im sure Emily is smiling down at what youve created in her name. Also his dog is super sweet.

Our family loves this farm so much. All the horses are happy, healthy, well-cared for, and so sweet. My daughter loves going around and petting them, talking to them, and generally exploring the great outdoors. She also loves the farm kitties, and peeking at the chickens. The property is beautiful and serene, and clean. It’s a joy to visit and unwind. Campsite #1 is our favorite because two horses wander right by the tent grazing. I also love that they have a few lawn games for when my daughter needs some activity. Loredana is the best host, so kind and accommodating. Will keep coming back!!

It was a beautiful canoe trip to a private, mostly undeveloped 26-acre island. There was more than enough room to spread out, enjoy a campfire, fish peacefully, and simply remember that “life is good.”
LaMar went above and beyond to assist us and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We not only found the most relaxing, quiet, peaceful private campground — one we already plan to return to — but we also made a friend along the way. Highly recommend La Mar and his private island if you’re looking for a truly unique experience to unwind and enjoy the kind of peace that quiets your thoughts.
