Our RV Campsites are located in a grassy field next to dense woods. Electric and water hookups are included in the RV/Camper sites, but not the Tent Site. All sites have a picnic table. Cell phone service is not a problem, as we are not that remote (although it sort of feels like we are when you are here) - we are 5 min from downtown New Port Richey, 2 minutes from groceries, gas, restaurants. This beautiful slice of Old Florida is named for the Pithlachascotee River that bends along the back side of the property. Pithlo is the Creek word meaning canoe, and chaskita means to dig or chop out, together signifying "place where canoes are chopped or dug out". Seminoles of this area used canoes dug out from the great cypress trees found along Florida rivers. From the 1980s until 2014, this property was owned by the Cotee River Lions Club. They held a popular monthly pancake breakfast fundraiser in the large pavilion along the river. We purchased this 4.9 acres of land in late 2019. It is now where we live and have a woodworking shop. It has been a magical place for us, with no shortage of wildlife, rich jungle forest, a lazy winding narrow river, and even the occasion river otter sighting. We are grateful to all the humans who have occupied this place over the centuries before us for keeping it as nature intended it. It is our intention to do our part to conserve and protect its natural beauty as long as possible. We hope you find it to be as restful and rejuvenating as we do.

Cotee River Bend Corner Tent Site
Fun, comfortable weekend!
I very much enjoyed staying on Laura and J.R.’s sites. I stayed in the tent site and felt safe and comfortable my entire stay. The sites are somewhat close to each other but the tent site provides some privacy. There was minimal noise from the road throughout the night and I slept soundly. I was very impressed with the beautiful land including the wood working shop, bathroom facilities, and boardwalk areas. Thank you Laura and J.R.!

Cotee River Bend Corner Tent Site
Fantastic experience
Wonderful piece of land for either tent or car camping (we had rented the tent space). Surrounded by 3 walls of brush, a fire pit, & a picnic table in between this is really all you need for a time away and we loved every minute. Wonderful experience & sweet hosts too. 10/10

Cotee River Exclusive
This is our 3rd rental of the property since Feb 2023. Laura and JR are incredible to work with! The property is as described, has clean bathrooms, 2 very nice pavilions along the wooden pathway around the property surrounded by nature and the Cotee river. We were there Sun 2/18- Thurs 2/22, being cooler than anticipated, as starting the fire pit for dinner our last evening, we noted early enough that we were running low on wood we brought. Thankfully, after reaching out, they had wood available for purchase on site. We would not hesitate to rent from Laura and JR again, we will definitely be back! Thanks again for another succesful trip.

Nice place!
We enjoyed camping here very much! The campsites are level and open with electric and water provided. Very nice bathrooms are also on site if needed. The pavilions on the property are awesome, as is the walking circuit through the woods and along the river that includes 2 pavilions originally built by the Cotee Lions Club. I was fortunate enough to see a river otter! Not too far North is Weeki Wachee and the famous mermaid show. Not too far south are the Tarpon Springs Sponge docks, Clearwater and Tampa. JR and Laura are welcoming hosts and we would absolutely stay again!
