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.

Great stay! Marian and Mike are welcoming hosts and have a wonderful property. It was fun to meet the miniature horses and donkeys. The trailer was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely come back.

Why Not Acres Campsite 3

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!!

RV Site 02

Why Not is a wonderful RV and tent camp out in the country but also a short drive to the beaches. Firewood, grill and charcoal were all provided by the hosts. Camp sites are pristine. Will be back.

Affordable beach getaway!

Why Not Acres Trailer

Glad that we found "Why Not Acres" on HipCamp! It has been a decade since we stayed in the Rehoboth Beach area. The RV rental made it possible for us to afford a beach getaway weekend in celebration of our 27th anniversary. At the end of each day filled with food and beach adventures, we were so happy to return to our home away from home at the corner of Blueberry Lane and Raspberry Road.

We had a wonderful time at Why not Acres. Marian and Mike are great and so friendly and helpful during your our stay. They greeted us when we arrived. They told us all about the area. The RV was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely come again. The Gerlitzki family.
