It’s a space where the lines between Mother Nature’s beauty and warm shelter blur.

When did you last sit quietly, holding each other, letting the worries of the world melt away? This isn’t just another campsite; it’s an invitation to reconnect. Imagine This… The crackle of a firepit warms the evening air as you wrap up in a blanket and share a quiet moment under a canopy of stars. The deck becomes your morning refuge, where coffee tastes better and smiles come easier. You feel the breeze whisper through the trees, and for once, there’s nothing to interrupt the peace. This is where love finds room to breathe and grow. It’s the perfect spot to fall in love all over again – with each other, with life, and with the simplicity of being together. Conveniently located with easy access to outdoor adventures and local attractions, yet far enough to give you the privacy you crave.

Weekend Trip to Givens Pond

Raymond’s campground was amazing! The pond was great for swimming and the fishing was very good. The campground isn’t too far from Trap Pond State Park so I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re thinking of visiting the park. Also only 40 minutes from Bethany Beach. Raymond was incredibly friendly and had everything we needed. Plenty of firewood, picnic tables, and some canoes for the pond as well. Would definitely go back!

Gary is very friendly and responds to questions about his property in a timely manner. He meets you when you arrive and directs you to a campsite. I’ve been here twice this year and plan on returning. Recommend for those looking to do a little dispersed camping.

Weekend Trip to Dry RV Pad - 55min from DC - 30amp

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!

I loved camping on Garry's land. Garry was great and so was Lisa, his permanent resident. The campsite was clean and very peaceful. The other campers were respectful. Had a very peaceful, reflective experience...which was much needed as I mourned a loved one's passing. Will definitely go again.
