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.

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.

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.

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)

Welcome to the Unplugged Forest of Mason Dixon Outfarm. Located on the Delmarva Peninsula, the Unplugged Forest offers a rare blend of history, nature, and privacy, for you are the only one enjoying the space. We sit directly on the Mason–Dixon Line, marked by an original 1764 historical stone dividing Federalsburg, MD and Bridgeville, DE. Though just five miles from either town, the forest feels completely secluded. Our farm spans 41 acres. Thirty-one acres hold our homestead, while the remaining 10 acres, your camping sanctuary—sitting along side a dirt road, separated by a peaceful non-tidal creek. This setting allows you to unplug while staying close to popular destinations like Easton, St. Michaels, Cambridge, and Ocean City, MD, as well as Milford, Milton, Rehoboth, and Lewes, DE all within an hour. We’ve intentionally created an off-grid, calming nature experience. You’ll be surrounded by forest, open farmland and abundant wildlife. Native gardens, fruit trees, nut trees and herbs were planted near the tent areas in September 2024, offering beauty and a deeper connection to the land. Enjoy thoughtfully placed gathering spaces throughout the forest, including a whimsical Forest Tea Party area and Uncontained, our cozy repurposed shipping container—perfect for reading, board games, or shelter during a summer pop-up thunderstorm. A nature -made hammock area amongst tall pine trees is perfect for afternoon naps and are provided by us (7) Fire-pit seating, picnic tables, a charcoal grill, and a propane cooktop are also available. Walk the short Jeremiah Dixon/Charles Mason Trail, a path similar to one they would have taken in the 1700s. Follow it through the forest and across the creek to our homestead, where you can place one foot in Maryland and one in Delaware at the historic Mason–Dixon marker beneath an old wild cherry tree. Before heading back, stop at the main farm gate to visit our friendly goats—Dixie, Dolly, and Star. Come rest, wander, and reconnect—for this calming experience is where time slows and nature leads.

Our horse farm is located in one of the most rural areas of Southern New Jersey. This land was once occupied by The Lanape Tribe. The adjacent creek was named after Chief Alloway. Artifacts of Native Americans have been found alongside this brackish water creek. This farm was for many years a dairy farm which was passed on for 3 generations until the late 80's. Our main horse breeds are 5 Arabians followed by 2 Thoroughbreds and 2 miniature ponies. In addition to horses you will see free range rabbits, chickens and beautiful cows. There are many antique shops in this area which tell the rich History of Southern NJ. Cowen mall and Royal Port are my two favorites. Another must see experience (at least once) in the area is The Cowtown Rodeo, one of the first and oldest in the country, only 14 minutes drive. Cool and brand new Brewery opening up soon right across the rd from Cowtown and right next to The best Cowboy outfitter. https://maps.app.goo.gl/TbK3TfJUDk9Tuziv9 Hope you enjoy visiting our forgotten part of NJ and make great memories! Learn more about this land: Relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Feast your eyes on the luscious green pastures with grazing horses and cows while enjoying the sound of wild life all around you. You might even be lucky and spot a Bald Eagle here on our property. If you get caught on a rainy weekend we offer Plenty of indoor activities inside our large indoor arena. You can sit on the lounge and read, play board games, pool, darts, archery, watch a movie on the big 20" screen etc... PS movie viewing subject to fees and booking 1-2 days in advance. Thank you for your interest and considerations and hope to be hosting your next camping adventure. :)

Cape May Point State Park camping guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Cape May Point State Park, where the land meets the sea in a symphony of natural wonders. From birdwatching to beachcombing, this coastal haven offers a plethora of activities. Venture along scenic trails, marvel at the historic lighthouse, and immerse yourself in the vibrant wildlife habitat. While camping isn't an option, the park's diverse landscapes promise endless exploration and discovery.

When to go

The best time to visit Cape May Point State Park is during the spring and fall migrations, when the park becomes a birdwatcher's paradise. Summer offers warm beach days, while winter captivates with serene, frost-kissed landscapes. Avoid peak migration weekends if you prefer solitude, as these can draw large crowds of nature enthusiasts.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, which are from 8am to 8pm, to plan your visit accordingly.
  • Accessibility is a priority; contact the park office for specific needs and accommodations.
  • Remember, pets are welcome on trails but must remain leashed and are not allowed on beaches from April 1st to September 15th.
  • Bring your own bags for trash as you'll need to carry out what you bring in.
  • Alcoholic beverages and smoking are prohibited throughout the park, ensuring a family-friendly environment.
