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. Drop Off. Disconnect. Explore.

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.

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.

Pitch your tent or park your RV on our historic 36-acre blueberry farm. Picnic tables, charcoal grills, and fire pits are located on lots. We are a newly renovated farm that has an almost 60-year history. Very close to Delaware and Ocean City Beaches! Our property is also monitored by security cameras. Once owned by Tom Ryan and part of the 100+ acres of Ryan's Berry Farm, Kingsley Orchards now owns the middle 36 acres and market building of the historic farm. Efforts paid off and the farm and market opened in June 2017 with a beautiful crop of blueberries and many multi-generational customers coming back with their children. The best outcome has been the opportunity to share growing food with children and helping them learn a love for outdoors and farming. Many of the customers remember their own grandparents bringing them to the farm! We had customers from age 1 to 89 picking blueberries We also offer a climate controlled venue for weddings, birthday parties, & any other events. Cypress Winds (302-362-1036)

This Hipcamp was a great stay! Firepits, hot showers, and clean toilets. Can’t get much better than that at a campsite. We stayed in the open field which still offered some privacy in our van by the treeline. It’s a quiet peaceful plot of land with great location and access to nearby beaches.

It was a nice small little campground! There was a nice big pool & a kiddie pool as well. Neither were ever crowded and everything is kept very clean. Jumping pillow, playground and arcade as well! My toddler loved it all. Wish the snack shack was open during the week but it’s small so I understand!

4 nights at Jane H.’s Land at Barefoot Pine

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were in the area visiting friends, and this campsite was conveniently located nearby, making it an excellent choice for our visit. Communication with Jane was prompt and easy, and her husband, Jack, greeted us upon arrival and made us feel welcome. The only suggestion we would make is to add a sign marking the Hipcamp entrance. Since the property is located along a busy main road, especially during the summer months, it can be a bit difficult to safely slow down while looking for the driveway. A clearly visible sign would make finding the entrance much easier for future guests.
