1 night at Find Out Farms

Brian has a piece of heaven and offers it to anyone that wants to enjoy tranquil nature with beautiful views. I am definitely coming back again to spend more time enjoying the simpler life and peace and quiet that surrounds his place. There are cattle nearby and you can hear them mooing along with other animals and birds in the woods. If you’re looking for rustic tranquility this is definitely a great spot for it. Lady is Brian’s dog and she was such a loving animal, she played and played with our dog Becky for what seemed like an hour but actually was maybe 30 minutes :). I’ve been to several places where I would not recommend because of one thing or another but this place was so easy and felt safe I got probably the best rest I’ve had in years. All our thoughts and troubles went away as we enjoyed the sounds of nature knowing that Brian was there if we needed anything. Two thumbs up 👍 👍. We all need to have a special “go to place “ to get away and this definitely clicks all the boxes for us. May God bless Brian and keep his place open for us to enjoy for many years to come.

2 nights at By the Pond...

Great spot. Was a little hard to find at night, but Mike was very helpful. I wish I could have stayed 1 more night, but had work come up.

1 night at By the Pond...

This place was amazing! Mike stopped by and introduced himself and is very passionate about his farm. He allowed us to choose any site as we were the only campers there! Had the entire area to walk around the lake with the dogs off leash and was able to see some of the exotic fruit trees( they sadly weren’t in season) but was a GREAT stay. The only thing I will say is the pictures are a little outdated. The lake is pretty overgrown and there is a few broken down campers on the property but that did not dock off any points at all! Would stay here again !

Weekend Trip to Boulevard Landing

We stayed here for 4 nights and enjoyed the easy access to everything. Port richey had local parks where we enjoyed sunset paddle boarding and a good coffee shop nearby in the historic downtown area. We even drove down to Venice beach from here. Solid spot 👍

Weekend Trip to Camp Champ

We rented the Tiny cabin which has sufficient space for me, my husband and our two dogs. The animal ranch with donkeys, goats, chickens, roosters, cows, miniature horse , etc was a nice surprise. We even got to feed them. Chris, the Camp Master /Owner was very hospitable and friendly. He supplied us with items that we neglected to bring. He even asked us to have breakfast with the other guests.

2 nights at Heart of Cortez

We loved our stay at Heart of Cortez. Emilie and her mom were wonderful hosts. Very kind and helpful. The space made you feel like you were part of this quaint little fishing village, yet everything you need or could want like the beautiful Anna Maria Island is nearby.

Weekend Trip to Camp Champ

TRUST ME! If you have kids this is the prefect place to hang out and have all the fun. If you don't have kids and just want to be around beautiful wild Florida in a wonderful setting, this place is also for you. The hosts are awesome and everything is kept in great condition. This was our 3rd visit in as many months.

2 nights at Community of Consciousness

Absolutely loved it. Kind and informative host. Had the place to ourselves mid week. Quiet, serene, peaceful. Close to amenities. Suncoast bike trail 10 minutes away. Bathrooms (private portapot bathrooms) very clean. Outdoor showers delightful. A great hip camp experience.

1 night at Boulevard Landing

We loved staying here for the night! Super convenient to US19, Mature landscaping- great trees!! Shady spot securely near the home. Felt safe and secure! Walking distance to Walmart for supplies! Very responsive and friendly family we dealt with! Will definitely return!!

1 night at Picturesque Mango Tango Estate

A great little private spot! An incredible pool and a view of the lake. A great spot to relax and recharge.

2 nights at Cotee River Bend

Absolutely LOVED staying at the tent site here. We were the only ones there, so had absolute privacy, which is really important to me, and one of the major reasons that I did not stay at a public campground. Plenty of room. Very nice bathrooms, and the firewood that they have for sale there is virtually match-light. Beautiful pavilion over by the river... what can I say? I loved it. Yes, there is noise from the road... it bothered my friend more than it did me. But for me, paying that small price for such privacy, was a small price to pay indeed.

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

Truly a lovely little spot! The host was very kind, friendly, and responsive. We had a wonderful time in spot 10. The pot belly pigs were cute and didn't bother us. However do bring bug spray! Otherwise, was very peaceful and we would definitely book again :)

Weekend Trip to Camp Champ

This place is absolute serenity!! Such a great way to unplug and make memories with your family! There is so much to do to keep busy and the hosts were absolutely wonderful! They showed the kids the animals and allowed them to feed them and we even rented ATV’s and was able to explore the trails! Paddle boarding was a blast and the kids and dog loved playing in the water at the creek! We will be back!! Thanks for sharing your land with us it truly is magical ❤️

Weekend Trip to Camp Champ

Had a amazing time at camp champ. Was surprised how much the owners had put into the grounds to truelly make it a amazing place to visit. Will definitely be going back again in the future. The land was amazing and it was great to see kids actually being kids rather than with their eyes glued to screens. Definitely recommend a visit at least once if you want to stay out in the peace and quiet and explore the creek.

Weekend Trip to Jack's Landing-Old Florida +Pool!

My first time doing hipcampers and it was perfect.Safety was my main concern but that concern was ease when I met Quintin and his wonderful wife. They are wonderful host. If your looking for a beautiful campsite for peace and quiet this is the place to go. I will be back to visit with Family and friends .🤗🥰

Weekend Trip to Wilderness Shores Ranch_Campground!

I stayed at the Shoreline Tent Camping area at Wilderness Shores Ranch in Lakeland, FL for the weekend. The property itself is beautiful—right on the lake with stunning views and surrounded by nature. One of the best parts was the chance to interact with the friendly animals on the ranch, including long-horned cows, goats, and horses. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. However, there were a few downsides worth noting. Trains pass by very frequently at night—about once an hour—and they’re loud enough to wake you up. On top of that, there’s an active gun range nearby that was really noisy during the day, especially on the weekend. The campsites are quite close together, so there’s not much privacy. It also looked like the sites weren’t cleaned between campers—there was leftover firewood in the pit and some general debris around. Overall, it’s a great place if you’re looking for a rustic, nature-connected experience and don’t mind the noise. Just go in knowing what to expect.

3 nights at Sagehub home

Everything was just as described. Super nice family and sweet dogs.

Weekend Trip to Honey Bunny’s Urban Oasis

Everything is as described. It’s a good option to stay very central. It’s surprisingly quiet to stay for the night and even if the parking is directly accessible and visible from the street, we felt good and save.

Weekend Trip to The Bougainvillea Glamping Tent

Dawn and her family have created an oasis that will rejuvenate and renew your spirit. The gardens are radiant, the tent and restroom was tastefully decorated and all the amenities of a hotel are available - the towels were so soft and the bed was so comfortable! Best part is the hospitality offered by the host who made you feel very welcomed. I will be coming back as my get away retreat.

Weekend Trip to Costa Myakka

We had a group of 30 for our daughter's sweet 16th birthday and it was perfect! The kids explored the property, swam, kayaked and fished.

Cotee River Bend

8 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · New Port Richey, FL

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 and fire ring. Our newly renovated restrooms on the property have toilets and one shower. A boardwalk takes you along the Cotee River to our open air pavilions with several places to sit and enjoy nature. 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.

It’s an ideal location to explore St Pete as we are right between the beaches and downtown (5 miles to St Pete beach, 4 miles to downtown -$10 Uber ride), Sarasota and/or Tampa. Ours is an urban spot based on ease, safety and location, not a wilderness "experience" We have a paved circular driveway overlooking our beehives, henhouse and seasonal garden where you’ll find a table with chairs and plenty of space to cookout and enjoy a quiet evening with a great sunset by the blowing bamboo. This is one of South St Pete’s oldest neighborhoods- it surrounds an active former PGA golf course and lively country club. It’s a great place for safely biking or walking with green spaces, tennis courts, playgrounds and dog parks nearby. There are many owls, raptors, green parrots, purple martins and osprey overhead as we’re just a few blocks from the beautiful Boyd Hill Nature Preserve. - not to be missed! The Pinellas Trail is just a short bike ride away too and can lead you to downtown. It is a cyclists favorite! We love our city - happy to give recommendations.

Island Retreat Florida

1 site · Tent2 acres · Progress Village, FL

*****PLEASE READ THIS PRIOR TO BOOKING: THIS IS TRUELY AN ISLAND THAT IS UN-INHABITED OTHER THAN NATURE. DUE TO THIS FACT YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL WATERCRAFT OR ADD AN "EXTRA" KAYAK/CANOE RENTAL OR SHUTTLE SERVICES TO YOUR BOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL COST BEYOND CAMPING FEE. THE ADDITIONAL SERVICES REQUIRE A HUMAN BEING TO BE ON CALL AND DELIVER EQUIPMENT AND MACHINES FOR YOUR ADVENTURE. **** if ok with the above please proceed as there has been some confusion about islands. About the Island: Ever wonder what it would be like to stay on a deserted island? This is truly an adventure you will never forget. Once you land in paradise you will wander thru the looping trail system to find your campsite. There are (5) campsites with elevated tent platforms tucked back in the trees. Once you are settled in, it is time to gather wood and build a fire in one of the (2) 8 foot wide, 2 ton concrete fire pits. Awake a dawn with a nice kayak/canoe trip on a secluded water trail thru mangrove islands and stop for lunch at River's Edge Bar and Grill across the river from the island. Having too much fun, take a nap in hammock and rock to breeze and sounds of river. This is an island is accessible via water only so there is some preparation to get here and stay here. Kayaks, Canoes and a shuttle are available if you don't have your own transportation. Please contact prior to booking to ensure you understand the packages, for example, if you want to rent the whole island for yourself and need transportation for your group. We offer tailored quote for package based on your needs. Our Story: After 6 years of my neighbor bugging me to buy this island, I finally took him up on it. My neighbor bought it in the 1970's but did little with it. It has been overgrown for years. I am actively work to develop multiple campsites of the island for enjoyment of the river and its surrounding. All money from your stay here is re-invested back into the property.
