Beautiful site - they aren’t kidding about the stunning sunsets! Quick drive to some stunning hiking spots - Trap Pond, Assateague, etc.
Having a plumbed in bathroom and hot shower was an added bonus.

Loved camping here. Jay was very welcoming and even gave us some extra fresh flowers to take back with us when we left. Highly recommend.

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.

We had a lovely stay this past weekend! We had the whole place to ourselves which was nice. Dale delivered our firewood and farm fresh eggs right to our campsite upon arrival. Site 5 is the furthest away from the farm market which is where the bathroom and shower are located, maybe a 10 minute walk. The shower is outdoors, but equipped with hot water, enclosed in a stall and very clean. There was some noise from an event being held at the venue behind the market one night, but it was far enough away that it didn’t bother us. The only downsides to the site were lack of shade and privacy from the road that runs behind the property. I would definitely recommend bringing a canopy for shade. If I stayed again, I’d probably choose site 4 as there are tall patches of wildflower meadows in between each site, which provides a little more privacy. Overall, a great place to stay and very convenient for all of the places we wanted to visit nearby!

Great stop on your way to Assateague Island! We arrived late and it was a little hard to tell where would be the best spot to set up for the night but decided to set up by the volleyball court. It was a peaceful, quiet night.

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 !

For my first time camping, ever, this is perfect. The sites are fairly close to each other but it didnt bother me at all. Lil lake near the site, pretty clean and clear directions too. Honestly, the place is simple but often simple is best. And I think this place was the best

Weekend Trip to Why Not Acres
We just love staying here, it's so peaceful and quiet, the view of the fields and the ponies are always gorgeous. The beautiful 30 minute drive to the beaches is definitely worth it for the peace and quiet. Thank you for another amazing weekend Mr. Mike and Mrs. Marian!!

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.

We loved our stay at the blueberry farm! It was peaceful and quiet and such a pretty setting. The bathroom was clean and the shower hot and convenient. It was an easy drive to Bethany Beach and Assateague Island to hit the beach. We ended up preferring the quieter beach at Assateague Island and returned there over the crowds at Bethany Beach. It was nice to go back at night and enjoy the beautiful setting and have a fire and relax. The campsites are spacious and we had no problem setting up two tents. They will be even nicer when the planted trees get bigger for some shade, but the row of trees along the road did provide some shade already. The farm market and blueberries were a great plus. Thank you! We would come back. :)

Our weekend at Shine & Rise was exactly what we needed! Jay was super responsive and I highly recommend getting the farm tour - my partner enjoyed asking questions about the farm and it was the perfect end to our trip. Campsite was spacious and Jay provided a large picnic table and a toilet for us which was great.
Short drive to Cape Charles and Savage Neck and there’s a Walmart 9 minutes away if you forgot anything.
