Quiet rural area with forest beside a working farm. You can see lots of deer and wild turkey from the primitive camp sites that look out under the trees to the ag field. We're near all Delaware beaches, Ocean City, Maryland, and Nanticoke River boat ramps and canoe launches. Like to ride bikes - find a bike trail nearby at Redden Forest, or at Trap Pond State Park or if you want paved riding, try the Georgetown-LewesTrail. Want to take a tour of a local brewery? 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. Food, crafts, antique cars, rides, vendors and did I say food?Best of both worlds - solitude and forest camping but near the crowded beaches and rivers.

The campsite is perfect for "getting off the grid" and for "social distancting." But for those that wish to dine, shop, and explore Downtown Cambridge, it is only a 10 minute drive into town!
The campsite is in the middle of a farm field next to a wildlife impediment, behind our farm barn and our home. For the past two years an osprey has built a nest in the field adjacent to the campsite! Thee campsite has a picnic table, fire pit, and composting toilet within an outhouse! During the summer/fall months the fields are grown up in Corn and Soybeans. During the winter/spring months, after the harvest, the fields are open.
The campsite is located close to Pitcher Dam Creek, where you are welcome to put your Kayak over and fish for Snakeheads!
The space is also a perfect spot for hunters to lodge while they are hunting on public land at Blackwater Refuge or private land in Cambridge/Dorchester County!

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. You can also bring your bikes and ride the bike trail from our lane to Lewes or Rehoboth!

This truly has become our haven when we get a chance to get away for a few days. It's so incredibly peaceful. I work 7 days a week and don't often get time to relax.. but this is so close, i can work and then go straight to the campsite. It is well taken care of. Great hosts.

Wow. What a great location. Very private site with unbelievable views. Easy kayak launch, level site with gravel pad and plenty of grass. Clean portajohn. As other reviews mention, theres a road close by but I heard no cars after 9. There are bugs but that’s to be expected on the edge of the world’s largest estuary. I will be back.

I loved camping here! The sunset was gorgeous, the site was spacious, and the compost toilet was 5 stars. I really appreciated having access to firewood as well. Downtown Cambridge was ~20 min straight shot with several waterfront parks that my dog and I enjoyed. The Osprey nest around the bend was the cherry on top a wonderful trip.

Just like the description says..."Run your horse on the beach, then come to our campsites to relax"
That's exactly what we did! And we had a great weekend! This was our 2nd visit to Why Not Acres and we hope to return again!
We brought 2 horses. There is a great paddock right near the RV sites and tent sites...fenced with a run in shed. We felt totally comfortable with the horses being safe and no risk of running away.
Assateague is only 35 minutes away, so we were able to go for the day and ride the beach and then come back for a nice campfire, dinner and relax!
Or you can ride on the property. They have trails in the woods and a good space for the horses (or the people) to stretch their legs without leaving.
Marian and Mike are such great hosts. They are wonderful people who care very much about their property, the animals in their care and of course about the experience of their visitors! Thank you so much for making our stay great!
This is an outstanding camping or RV option if you're looking for something in this area.
We really do look forward to our next visit.

The owners were super friendly and accommodating. When we arrived there was a glitch in our reservations, but they resolved the issue quickly. The land and was beautiful, quiet and called for us to relax and enjoy! RV sites were clean, well maintained and had full hookup! Hubby caught quite a few bass in their pond, and our dogs loved playing in the woods. Their rescue donkeys were full of personality and we loved visiting them! We will definitely return!

Island Getaway is such a fun and unique experience and LaMar was an incredibly conscientious host. We had to cut our trip a bit short unfortunately due to weather and could only stay for one night but we are already trying to make plans to return with friends. We saw the most amazing wildlife like otters, herons, and bald eagles. If it wasn’t for the unfortunate weather it would have been a perfect camping trip. It is true that you can hear sounds from the road and from the air base at night. But honestly, I didn’t mind it at all.
