Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Stay by a lovely pond on 33 acre fruit and ornamental tree nursery property with great vibes. Located near I-75 just 20 miles South of Tampa, 35 miles east of Saint Petersburg, 35 miles North of Sarasota, 2 hours West of Orlando. This property is home to a farm/nursery operation and has a large pond on the west side. Approximately 33 private acres allows for space and social distancing. Site is loaded with hundreds of fruit trees Lychee, Mango, Starfruit, Papaya, Guava), and thousands of banana plants. Fishing can be great, wildlife and bird watching too. Fenced and gated for safety, this old historic nursery property has good vibes and plenty to offer. Until you see it - you really may not understand. Part s of property are wide open, other areas are rugged and difficult to walk through including some wetland areas. The nursery has plenty of trees, & some fields - large pond is surrounded by cattails and marsh/wetlands and has fish (Bass, Tilapia, Sunfish, Catfish). Several species of wildlife have been seen on the property. We think the property is lovely, and definitely want you to enjoy your camping experience!

We had a wonderful time! This spot seemed to be the best one that we saw there. Beautiful sunrise and sunset views.

Family camping
We had a great night with our family. Site 8 provided great shade to us on a hot afternoon. We enjoyed catching minnows in the pond. It was very convenient to be able to buy wood on the property.

Site 4 at the Dock
What a beautiful place! Mike was so welcoming and you can immediately tell how passionate he is about his property. I stayed at the dock site 4 and it was so relaxing to see the sunset and bird watch. I even got fresh fruit from Mike! You’ll hear some highway noise at Site 4, but with my fans or AC running it didn’t bother me at all. If you’re sensitive to that kind of thing, Site 8 and up are further away from the highway :) There was even some cute lil chickens running around. I’ll definitely be back!

Unique farm RV Camp
Ive been RVing at this location for several months now and i love it. Its very unique. The camp is actually a farm run by a super great guy named Mike. Mike is about as welcoming and accommadating as a camp host gets! He does all he can to make sure your stay is a pleasant experience. The farm itself has beautiful fruit trees everywhere surrounding a nice lake. You can walk the grounds, fish from a kayak, or just enjoy the laid back nature of the area. The camp is pet friendly and our fur babies love it here. Chickens and guineafowl come visit us daily and have become our buddies! Water is available as well as a port a potty and showers available on request. Fresh fruit and eggs are available for purchase. Rates are very reasonable. You should consider this location for your next camping or RV adventure.
