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. The pond is Spring-fed at the headwaters of Marsh Branch Creek which begins at our property and flows West about five miles in to Tampa Bay. Approximately 33 private acres allows for plenty of space between our campsites. Property is home to a farm with hundreds of fruit trees- Lychee, Mango, Starfruit, Papaya, Guava). Red Mombin, 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. Parts of property are wide open, other areas are rugged and difficult to walk through including some wetland areas. The nursery has plenty of trees, and some fields -the 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!

Had a great time during my stay in the camper. Mike was an amazing host and the property is beautiful. Loved seeing all the fruits, fowls, and a few piglets while walking the trail.

We loved our stay in the camper! The site is located on a farm which was really neat and we were able to see baby chickens and pet pigs! We stayed in a non-fruiting season (just missed starfruit) so we weren't able to get fruit but if you're lucky enough to stay when the trees are fruitful the owner was so kind to share! We slept soundly and accessed the farm by opening and closing the gates at the entrance was easy! There are so many fun things nearby, and not too far from downtown Tampa. Definitely would stay again!

We enjoyed our time at the Gray Wolf Camper! The property has lots of space to walk and enjoy nature, and the hosts were friendly and welcoming. My son especially enjoyed spending time with the two cats, seeing the rooster and guinea hens, picking a star fruit, checking out the pond, and feeding the adorable piglets.

My son and his girlfriend are only 18. They can not check into a hotel until 21. We found By the Pond and it was perfect. My son who is an Eagle Scout was glad he didn't have to stay in a tent as cold as it was. Communication was great met my son at site to show him around. Thank you for keeping them safe! Definitely recommend staying here! Yvette

Mike is warm and welcoming. The camper was clean and just right. They even left a large container of water gathered from the spring-fed property. I am a repeat camper at Terrapy Farms and look forward to returning.
