Emily's Place
We had the most wonderful time! The site looks like a beach getaway! Having an indoor rest room was great and Ron was a wonderful host. He even had the fire going for us when we arrived! The location was great and we visited the beach, shopped, and truly enjoyed having a quiet place to return to. Thank you, Ron!

Ron was a super friendly and helpful host that went above and beyond while also respecting our privacy. The access to the RV was great for having a fridge, sink, and bathroom. It’s a genuine oasis and unique getaway!

We live loved camping at Emily’s Place. Ron, the host is very easygoing and kind. When our air mattress left us on the floor, he let us borrow his new mattress which basically saved our trip!
The site was very private and we felt very comfortable. Ron joined us for a camp dinner one night and we all had a great time.
We recommend this site to anyone who likes privacy and a beautiful site!

As others have mentioned, Ron was the prefect host. He is very friendly and we had great conversations with him. Ignore the one review where the person said it looked like a junkyard and left without even getting out of her car. While yes he has a lot of stuff in his front yard it has no impact on the beautiful campsite in the back. He enjoys tinkering and building campers so of course there is some construction stuff out front. That person truly missed out on an amazing camping experience. He created the perfect oasis in his backyard. Plenty of space for multiple tents and very private. I can tell he takes pride in the setup and has a lot of small little personal touches throughout the area. There is tons of firewood for the firepit along with an axe if needed and a grate to cook over the fire. There are solar powered lights throughout the campsite so you have some light once it gets dark. You have use of the bathroom and shower in his RV that is between the campsite and his house. It was about a 30 minute drive to Cape Henlopen and about 45 minutes to Indian River Inlet. We had a great time and would definitely camp here again.

Ron is an incredible host. Friendly as hell and super accommodating. For those wondering, Emily is the name of his late mother for whom he purchased the property. He’s got the friendliest pup named lil girl and the camping spot is a 20 out of 10. Ron put a lot of work into it and it really shows. My pals and I will be eager to return to this spot. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique camping ground near the beach with good vibes. Great fire pit, and all the car camping necessities you could need. Although we brought fire wood, Ron makes sure there’s more than enough available. Be sure to make friends with this A+ pal and you’ll have a blast. The rugged outdoor looks on the way in are far surpassed by the oasis behind the grounds. Can’t say enough good things. Thanks Ron!!

I loved tent camping at Emilys place. The camp area was beautiful and private. The owner,Ron is a great guy, very helpful and great to talk to. Its a beautiful and very handy setup. I love it there and definitely will be back soon. Its minutes from Lewes and Rehoboth and theres a few restaurants 10 minutes away. I highly recomend Emilys place !

This was one of my favorite hipcamps! While yes the site is close to the house, it still feels secluded with lots of tree cover. Be prepared for sand! There's a dog that runs around but she is very friendly and got along great with my dog. Bathroom is in a camper, and there's even a shower. This place is a gem for sure!

Although it was over 90 when I arrived, the shady site was cool and breezy. Very private. Air conditioned RV for bathroom and fridge and coffee maker. Ample space and seating. And Ron, the host could not have been nicer. I'd return anytime.

Great hidden spot that is close to fishing. Loved our stay at this hidden beach vibe oasis

Our trio had such a good time at Emily’s place. The site is as pictured / described and Ron is extremely friendly and helpful. The site is caddy-corner to their home, but very cozy and private with a privacy fence on one side and an open field on the other. The site is very well-appointed with lots of chairs, BBQ implements, fire circle, plenty of shady trees, and a variety of tables. The camper offered a sink, toilet, and shower, which basically made this glamping for us! Luxurious. While the site is close to many beach activities, we decided to hang out, enjoy the breeze and sun, and read / cook food / etc. The provided parking spot is located alongside Ron’s projects and yard (he restores campers, among other things), but absolutely none of this was in the way whatsoever and in fact we could not even see it once in the site. We would definitely come back to this campsite and think you too will enjoy Ron and Little Girl (the doggie).

We had a lovely time at Emily's place, though it was a little closer to the host's home than I generally prefer. Ron was a great host and we were very comfortable in the unique oasis he's created.

This campsite is truly in someone's junkyard backyard. A space has been cleared, which is what you can see in the listing pictures, but otherwise there are piles and piles of wood, furniture, camper vans, and just general stuff. We did not feel comfortable staying here and left before spending the night.

This place was great. The host is so nice and above and beyond accommodating and helpful. It's super close to any of the beach destinations you could want to visit. I will likely be coming back again for sure.

This is a beautiful oasis in the woods. Very calm and peaceful. Fire pit and grill along with lots of chairs and a picnic table. Ron was super friendly and helpful. Loved it. Will visit again if I am ever back in this area. Gorgeous sunset views over the neighboring cornfield.

Great little private area, nice shaded and sandy space with a big fire pit next to a corn field, 20 something minutes to the beach and much closer than that to some other nice areas on the water. Very nice property owner, we appreciated the stay very much.

We loved this site! Being flat and sandy provided multiple options for where to pitch a tent. There were plenty of chairs and firewood to use, and having access to the full bathroom in the nearby camper was fantastic! We were able to catch a gorgeous sunset at the back of the property next to the corn field. Ron was a great host who checked in on us a couple of times but also gave us plenty of privacy.

Great site with many amenities. Chairs, fire pit, bathroom & more all readily available. Very welcoming host with adorable dog who also greeted us. Great place to come back to after visiting the many beaches near by.

Emily's place is beautiful to stay at. Ron is the owner and is very accommodating. It's not in the woods, so don't expect that, but it is private and no other campers around. It's between houses and a cornfield but you really can't see either when you're there, it's like a little sandy/forest oasis. There is already seating, fire pit, fire wood, and lights.

So my first review got lost somewhere in review land. Here goes a shorter version. Entering the property can put one off with the piles of parts, lumber, cars, 2 campers (one for sale). However, one walks around a wooden privacy fence and is greeted by a large clean area of sand, complete with picnic table, chairs, tables, and even a small pool. A camper parked to the side of the property is air conditioned and contains a very clean toilet, sink, refrigerator and kitchen sink with hot and cold water
Son of Emily, Ron, is a readily available caretaker for the property and is very much a people person, willing to help with anything.
Ron’s dog Little Girl, greeted my little dog with enthusiasm.
The site itself is partly shaded, partly sunny so great for any temperature.
The only downside in my opinion is the road noise from the nearby highway. It’s not loud but annoying in the evening.
I recommend checking out this place if you are a camper in the area.

This was a really wonderful place to stay. It had everything I needed and even some things I didn't expect. The location is private, but definitely not remote. If you are looking to be out "roughing it" in the woods, this is probably not for you. I felt safe. The host was available if I needed anything.

Ron was a wonderful host! Greeted us when we got there and then was very helpful throughout our stay! My boyfriend and I brought our scooters and Ron gave us updates of where we could ride them and how easy it would be to get to the beach. The tent spot was very private and was wonderful at night with the sounds of the tree frogs talking back and forth! If you are looking for a cute and cozy spot to be off grid of a little bit this is the place for you!

Ron was great!!! Super understanding of our special situation and truly a kind and welcoming soul. The site is wonderful! The site itself feels cozy and contained because of the canopy cover but it is more than enough space for our family of 5. Plenty of firewood and a very clean camper bathroom to use. 30 minute drive to all the beaches and a wonderful escape that beats a rehobeth motel any day of the week.

I was visiting friends in Bethany Beach and Emily’s place was a great home-base for that. Nice and quiet and clean.

Emily’s place was the perfect getaway - secluded and comfortable with the convenience of Rehoboth and other Delaware beaches only 20 minutes away. Ron (Emily’s son) was an awesome host, checked in and let us know of all the amenities like a camper shower and freshly cut firewood, then gave us our space. Shaded, excellent add ons, much cheaper, quieter, and more comfortable than staying right next to the beach, but never compromised on convenience! Will definitely come again soon!
