Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

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.

Why Not Acres camp site 1

Why Not Acres has everything I needed and more as a tent camper! It has an outdoor sink with hot/cold water for washing my dishes and for getting water to cook my food. It has a flush toilet and an indoor hot shower! The site also had electrical where I could charge my phone, etc. The other wonderful benefit is the proximity to the beaches- 30 to Bethany, 40 to Ocean City. Marion & Mike are two of the kindness people I’ve met! They went the extra mile to make our stay the comfortable & easy!

RV Site 02

We loved camping at Why Not Acres and highly recommend it to anyone- RV and tent campers alike. Marian and Mike were perfect hosts! Our site was very level with a nice deck for the picnic table and chairs to watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We were impressed with the amenities they provide for both RV and tent campers. Why Not Acres is less than a half hour drive to Bethany Beach and is convenient to shopping and many other towns if you are looking for something to do besides heading to the beach. This was our first experience using Hipcamp and I won't hesitate to use the app again and definitely give Why Not Acres a five star rating!

I stay in lots of air bnbs, hotels etc. all over the countey for work. And I have to say this was by far my favorite and most enjoyable experience! The owners are the most friendly and welcoming couple! They provide absolutely anything you would think of needing! It’s in a beautiful quiet and amazing place! If you’re coming to the area this is hands down the spot to go!

Why Not Acres Campsites 4

We had an INCREDIBLE weekend at Why Not Acres! Mike and Marian (and their sweet dog Annie) were so warm and welcoming from the start, and they take obvious care and pride into making their sites as comfortable and lovely as possible--the grounds are spotless, flat, and nestled among the trees (even the soil was soft and welcoming!). They also provide a full bathroom and shower with plumbing and electricity, a power station for each tent site, fire pits/grills/charcoal/lighter fluid/firewood, and a lovely hammock. And cherry on top--there are ponies and donkeys who'll let you pet them (ahem, in exchange for a little celery or carrots...). We wanted to camp somewhere near the beaches, and with being 30 minutes away from the coast (closest beach is Bethany), it made for a perfect spot to get to--and away from--the beach towns. I can't recommend Why Not Acres highly enough and can't wait to come back again.
