Where the Little Touches Make a Big Difference
We stayed recently at Why Not Acres via Hipcamp and it was truly one of the best camping experiences we’ve had. From the moment we arrived, the place exceeded expectations.
What Makes It Special
• Top-notch amenities — They’ve thought of everything to make camping easy and comfortable. Our site came with kindling, firewood, charcoal, and a lighter, plus a fire ring ready to go. Such small touches make a big difference.
• Spotless facilities — The shower rooms and bathrooms were immaculate. Warm water, clean, well-maintained, and plenty of space.
• Friendly, welcoming hosts — Marian (and Mike) were wonderful. Warm, helpful, very responsive, and clearly proud of their land. They greet you like you’re guests in their home, not just customers.
• Peace, space & nature — The property is just stunning. There’s plenty of room, beautiful surroundings. The presence of the horses adds a charming farm-feeling that’s relaxing and fun.
• Convenient, but still quiet — Close enough for trips to the beach and local stores, but far enough removed so you feel like you’re getting away from it all.
As with most rural/farm-type stays, bring your insect repellent.
Why Not Acres is more than just a campsite—it’s a peaceful, well-cared for retreat. The amenities are excellent, the hosts are warm and helpful, and the natural setting is beautiful. If you want comfort and a sense of escape, this is definitely the place. We’ll be back.

We stayed at Why Not Acres for four days and three nights.
it was very nice, the host came and greeted us, told us a little about them and the farm which is a Equine rescue and they have donkeys and horses both normal and minis and across the street is a bison farm.
The shower and bathrooms were outstanding very clean and well supplied.
Each site was spacious came with electric and plenty of firewood.
It was peaceful both night and day.
30 Minutes from Rehoboth Beach 45 Minutes from Lewis, 6 miles from Millsboro which has several gas stations/ convenience stores along with fast food joints and a few nicer restaurants.
Great peaceful place in the middle of nowhere close to a lot.

The fire pit with the top grate allowed for easy cooking with a cast iron which was awesome, and there is plenty of firewood. The sites are nice and flat, and the outdoor sink, indoor bathroom and shower were super convenient. The pond was so much fun for fishing - we caught 20+ bass and sunfish. We also got to meet the donkeys/horses which were sweet. The beach is 30 minutes away which was great to visit for the day.
The only downsides we experienced were the campsites are close together without much privacy so choose #4 if you want to be furthest away. All the neighbors we met camping or in an RV were super nice though. And the neighboring chicken farm has a really bad smell when the wind blows from that direction. Other than that we thought the site was great and the positives outweighed any few negatives. We would definitely visit again when wanting to visit the beach and have the nice amenities and go fishing !

Great little campground! We had the place to ourselves and loved it! Site was amazing with the best fire ring I’ve ever seen and built in benches. Mike and Marian have a gem here!

This was the most amazing vacation I've ever had! Mike and Marian have the most beautiful farm, and are so warm and hospitable. The sites are situated in the trees where you're set to watch the sun rise every morning. Each site is good sized, with every amenity you will need. The bathhouse is central and such a great added feature. I was encouraged to visit the barn to see the animals, and I just can't say enough good things about this place. So close to town in case you forgot anything. I can't wait to return later this year to experience Delaware in the fall. I can't say enough good things about this place, and I highly recommend it, especially for families.

Marian’s land is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need for a perfect camping experience. The property is very well maintained, with access to electricity, cold and warm water for showers, and plenty of space to relax and enjoy nature. It’s an amazing place to stay, and I would camp here again without a doubt!

This place was lovely! Marian and her husband greeted us upon arrival to guide us to our campsite. The site was clean, spacious, and loaded with amenities like unlimited firewood, charcoal, and tinder. The bathroom at the campsite was a fully functional flush toilet that was very clean. There was a shower as well with hot water. The farm has many furry friends like donkeys and mini horses. The pond on site is also stocked with bass so lots of fun for fishing!

It was in the perfect place, I was able to go to Bethany, Rehoboth, Ocean City, and Dewy beach all in one weekend! The drives were not bad and we were tucked away with easy access to everything! There is a beautiful pond which makes for a fun walk, and many frogs to catch! We absolutely loved our stay.

Marian was great, and everything about our stay was fantastic. We had access to a bathroom and shower, unlimited firewood, charcoal, and everything you need to setup a fire. The campsite itself was shaded and peaceful, and in close proximity to the barn, and the pond. Fishing the pond was really fun, we caught several bass.
Great experience overall.

Just - amazing!!! We were spoiled! Electricity at our site (moved to 1 from 3 as there had been a lot of rain; can definitely attest that this was brilliant aforethought, Marian and Mike! Thank you!!!), a garbage can, and waterproof container of kindling. Firewood aplenty and a bathroom - a real, warm bathroom with a toilet and sink :) As well as a hot shower and sink for doing dishes! The fire pit was a set up for wood (which we prefer) or charcoal (also provided!!!). We cooked all of our meals at our site and couldn't have asked for a better set-up! It was SO quiet, it was like a dream!! Flat, level ground and many trees made it easy to pitch our tent, put a tarp over the picnic table, and set up the runner for our fur-footed family member! The boys absolutely loved feeding the animals and spending time with them each day. Plenty of space to roam and the holly forest was truly beautiful! This is definitely not just somewhere to camp, it is magical! Thank you, Marian and Mike, for sharing your piece of land and peace of mind, body, and spirit! We cannot wait to come back and visit with you again!!

This was a very nice and quiet place to stay! I felt completely safe, and the rope lighting was a neat addition to the site. The water wasn't at the site, due to it being winter, but Suzette allowed me to fill my fresh water tank at her house, just up the hill from the site. I would definitely request to come back if I'm ever in the area again!
