Cowtown Cabins is open year-round and is available for couples, families, groups, organizations, retreats, and even the occasional western-themed wedding. FAQ's 1. Can I bring my kids? Children must be ages 12yo and up for both yurts (Stargazer and Painted Pony.) Remember there is a 2-guest max due to fire code. 2. Can I bring my pet or service animals? No. We are ADA service animal exempt due to safety issues with animals on display that are natural prey/ natural predators of animals including dogs. We also not not allow pets due to this. 3. Can I smoke? The yurts are strictly NO smoking inside, no vaping and no marijuana smoking as the next guest will appreciate an odorless welcome and you'll avoid the extra "deep cleaning fee." 4. Which yurt should I choose? The main difference between the Painted Pony yurt and the Stargazer yurt is the roof and setting. The Stargazer yurt has a clear roof and sits in the open. (Keep in mind elements out of our control like wind, dust, and pollen counts can make the Stargazer yurt roof less clear.) The Painted Pony yurt, has a regular canvas roof and sits in the shade. Both yurts have 3-speed fans included and do not have AC or heat. 5. Extra guests in the yurt? The yurts have a strict 2-guest-only policy. 6. Can friends (not on my reservation) come visit me? No. All visitors here must be registered guests as the public is not granted access here. 7. How far is the beach? North Ocean City, MD and Fenwick Island DE are both only 5-6 miles away. 8. How secure is the camping area? There is a coded entrance gate at the property entrance along with 6 outdoor security cameras that stay on 24 hours a day for guest and livestock safety. The locations are 2 at the entrance gate, barn house entrance/building overhang, tiny house entrance, horse grooming area, parking area, and inside the stables. These outdoor cameras also record at night and are available for any emergency services to review. 9. Are there animals nearby? Yes! Cowtown is named after our unique Scottish Highland bull with one horn up and one down. You'll see “Herbie” peacefully grazing in a nearby pasture along with horses, goats, an alpaca, a sheep, a rare curly-haired pig, a peacock, and fancy top-hat chickens that all call the ranch home. 10. Participating in a guest activity is mandatory here. We have FREE indoor scavenger hunts and the FREE Name Challenge memory game. Our most popular experience is "Chores N' Tour” where you meet up with Shelley to feed and get up close and personal while feeding 20+ animals. Go ahead! take selfies with Fonzie the kissing alpaca, play the rollover challenge with Charlotte the pig, and hay the jumping goats. As a bonus, Shelley will also let you check out the inside of any unoccupied Airbnbs on the property to plan your next trip! Chores N' tour is $10/ person. 1 hr. long. Also on-site, are Brush N' Bond horse grooming sessions, horse whispering lessons, and farm animal paint sessions. Once you book, send Shelley a message with your chosen ranch activity! 11. Do guests have access to the entire ranch? No, guests have access to the glampground, cornhole, and parking area here at the ranch. The rest of the property is reserved for animal pastures (habitats) and fenced off for safety. Animals are easily viewed from all locations but not touched. 12. What sounds can I expect to hear? Expect to hear typical sounds of nature such as crickets, owls, and the crackling of a fire. In the morning, you'll hear our sweet goat trio, Charlotte the pig, and her excited "oinks" along with the occasional "moooo" and possibly a crow from the rooster and a "honk" from Petey our peacock who is ready for breakfast! 13. What are the check-out procedures? We ask that guests leave the yurt the way they found it (neat and tidy.) We also love to brag about any super clean guests!

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!

Site is large, ample places to camp with a fire ring and some basic features. We were there 4th of July weekend and it was busy but everyone was respectful, and friendly. Bathhouses were clean. Hosts communication was the best I’ve had on this platform. Prime location to OC, Assateague, and even Chincoteague isn’t a bad trip. Close enough to be convenient, far enough you’re away from all the hustle and bustle. Couple of spots very close by for resupplying provisions.

Absolutely loved my stay here! There’s tons of space and a wide variety of spots to choose from—whether you want to be near other campers or tucked away in a more private, backwoods-type setting, the options are there. The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. Just when I thought supplies were running low, they were already being refilled—super on top of it. The location is perfect—only about 30 minutes from Ocean City and Assateague National Seashore. Even during a holiday weekend, the campground never felt crowded. There was plenty of breathing room and I never felt like other campers were right on top of me. The owners were incredibly accommodating. I had to change my dates last minute, and they handled it with no problem. Firewood was delivered straight to my fire pit shortly after I arrived, which was such a nice touch. Would 100% stay here again. Highly recommend!

Welcome to Maypop Homestead, our 14-acre slice of paradise nestled on a quiet dirt road in the historic San Domingo community. Our cozy tiny house is tucked into a peaceful corner of the land, bordered by 10 acres of protected forest and overlooking a tranquil pond where deer, frogs, turtles, and a variety of birds are frequent visitors. Inside, you'll find everything you need for a restful stay: a queen-sized bed, a fully equipped kitchenette with a stovetop, a full bath with a composting toilet, and a meditation space in the loft. Step outside onto the large deck to enjoy your morning coffee, watch the sun filter through the trees, do yoga, light up the fire pit, or listen to songbirds flutter around our feeders. Wi-fi is available if you wish to stay connected. We’re passionate about growing food, medicinal herbs, and flowers, and we’d love to share our organic garden harvest with you when it’s in season — think fresh veggies, vibrant herbs, juicy berries, and beautiful flowers. We are happy to give you a tour of the garden! Sam is an herbalist and loves sharing knowledge about the plants and medicine we grow! You'll also meet our friendly feline companions: Trash Boat, Portis, Aureliano, and Yellow, who may stop by to say hello. Whether you're looking to unwind, explore nature, or just enjoy a cozy night under the stars, our tiny house offers a unique, quiet, and earthy escape. We love the Eastern Shore for its beaches, rich cultural history, and great food and brews. We are close to Blackwater Wildlife Refuge, several local breweries, Laytons Chance Winery, Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park, and our spectacular beaches. Please let us know if you would like recommendations for local attractions!

Kingsley Orchards, LLC

5 sites · RVs, Tents36 acres · Frankford, DE
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 parties, events and several campsites on our farm.

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.

Camping in Cape Henlopen State Park guide

Overview

About

History and nature collide at this coastal state park, which sits at the meeting point of Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Dive into WWII history with a visit to the Fort Miles Museum, marvel at fish and stingrays in the Seaside Nature Center, then head out to Beach Plum Island to spot shorebirds and horseshoe crabs. Once you’ve admired the views on a coastal walk or bike ride, head down to the beach to swim, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard. Cape Henlopen Campground has plenty of shady spots amid the pine-clad dunes, with electric hookups for RVs and cozy camper cabins.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve one of 120 RV sites, 43 tent-only sites, or 12 cabins online.
  2. Campsite reservations open twelve months in advance and can be booked up to the day before arrival.
  3. Campsites can book up as fast, especially on summer and holiday weekends. Book a minimum of three months in advance to avoid disappointment.

When to go

Summer season (Memorial Day through Labor Day) draws the crowds to Cape Henlopen State Park, and the weather is ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Look out for wildflowers along the trails and dolphins swimming off-shore at this time. Visiting in the off-season can be just as rewarding. Camping is available year-round, and winter is perfect for crisp coastal walks and bird-watching.

Know before you go

  • Cape Henlopen State Park is about a 30-minute drive east of Georgetown.
  • The park has a per-vehicle admission fee. Camping reservation fees and fishing permits are also required.
  • Facilities include a visitor center, food concession, fishing pier, picnic areas, and restrooms. Beach umbrella, bike, and kayak/canoe/SUP rentals are available in season. 
  • The swimming beach provides lifeguard patrols from Memorial Day through Labor Day. 
  • There are accessible campsites, beaches, picnic areas, and restrooms at Cape Henlopen.
