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

Wow! What an experience! The oak recolonization on this lakeside lot is so beautiful. The weather this time of year is perfect in the evening (though a bit warm in the day). You might not expect it, but despite all of the growth to the north along the I-4 corridor, it's pretty much dark-sky country to the south, so the stars can be beautiful; got some great pictures we wish we could post here. The neighborhood seemed mostly quiet, but there were a few "monster" trucks passing by on the road up the hill from time to time. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Camp Margaritaville Auburndale

My husband and I stayed here for our first RV trip and we loved it. Just one night while we drive up north. The place is super clean with beautiful plant gardens around each RV spot. The staff also welcomed us in the most friendly and professional way. We brought our two dogs and let them explore the dog park area too. We would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend the place to anyone else needing a nice place to stay for a night or many nights! :)

Weekend Trip to Rasayana Cove

Wow! What a hidden gem! This entirely off-the-grid cabin is perfect if you’re looking to disconnect from the world. This beautiful cabin is nestled amongst the oak trees which provide plenty of shade. The property is surrounded by open prairies and cattle fields and it was so nice to wake up to the sounds of the cattle nearby. There is a creek that runs along the property, which makes for a nice evening stroll. Once the sun goes down, the forest comes alive and you can hear the owls calling out to eachother. Although this cabin is off-grid, I found the camping stove easy to use and was happy to see that basic cooking wares were provided. The host, Dennis, was kind and easy to communicate with. I appreciated that he came by the day of our arrival to make sure we were settling in ok. I look forward to coming back again in the cooler months and would definitely recommend this place!

1 night at Honey ranch

Matthew was a great host, thoroughly enjoyed falling asleep listening to the cows in the field nearby.

Weekend Trip to Cedarkirk Camp & Conf. Center

Nice rustic woodsy campsites with full hookups. Has nearby campfire rings with supplied wood. Lithia Springs and Allifia River State Parks nearby within a few miles.

3 nights at Camp Champ

We rented an RV site and brought our 16 foot camper. It was a great site! Picnic table, fire ring, water, electric, and a grey tank hook up! We stayed Thursday-Sunday. Spent time enjoying the animals, communal space, and land. We rented a canoe one day to go up the creek to find fossils with some luck!!! The owner and hosts were extremely responsive and kind. This will be a regular spot for my family and I!

Weekend Trip to Cedarkirk Camp & Conf. Center

Great host and great land. Spent the day on the creek hunting for fossils. Plenty of room to spread out from other campers. Will come back!

3 nights at Florida Farm School & Animal Rescue

This was the best experience we have ever had camping! We took our Grandkids and they NEVER complained about being bored! (That's a first!) The campsites were well positioned with plenty of privacy. It was directly in the open pasture and we were camping with the cows... something that may seem weird to some but was so much fun. All of the animals were gentle and never did I worry about the kids being around them. When we arrived Miss Sarah greeted us and explained the rules to the kids- Best thing ever because throughout our stay I could just remind the kids "What are Miss Sarah's rules?" And they would immediately stop any bad behaviors. Every morning theyt⁵ awoke and wanted to head immediately to the barn. The activities were amazing, the staff were A plus. We will return again and again! 10 out of 10! Thanks Sarah.

2 nights at Camp Champ

Found this Gem on Hipcamp, and was one of the best camping trips we’ve been on. I have been taking my kids camping since my son was 4. He’s 11, and daughters are 9 and 5. Started off with my car having some issues right as we came in, and Jerry helped us out, and relieved unwanted stress starting off. We were the only ones camping at the time due to a storm that was supposed to blow through.(Didn’t touch us). We had full use of the whole campgrounds. April attended to all of our needs and was very accommodating. Chris and Kendal are the owners, and showed us around their property. They let us pet and feed all of their animals, “Kit Kat” was my favorite little pony. You have to check out “Hamlet”the pig. We canoed, found sharks teeth, fished, played games that they provided, had man hunts in the trails, scavenger hunts, and so much more. There is an outdoor kitchen, very convenient, ATVs for rent, electric hookups, and Hot Water shower facility. . This was my wife and youngest first time camping, and they are hooked. Thank you Chris, Kendal, April, and Jerry! This was a special experience for our family. We will be back. The Glendys

2 nights at The Bougainvillea Glamping Tent

Weekend Trip to Camp Champ

Perfect getaway. Very low key. We enjoyed Camping here and kayaking. The water level was pretty low so it was a challenge getting the kayak down to the water. We found alot of shark teeth! The property manager April was very nice and helpful. We all loved riding around on the trails and also seeing all the animals on the property.

Weekend Trip to Rasayana Cove

Dennis is an amazing host, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The property is absolutely stunning, a wonderful get away to old Florida. The cabin is spacious with plenty of room for little campers. My husband and I spent our birthday there with our ten month old and had a wonderful time.

1 night at Florida Farm School & Animal Rescue

I loved staying overnight at this farm. The dogs were all so sweet and loving. I needed electrical for my van because Florida was getting warm.

Weekend Trip to Camp Champ

We found this campground last minute and are so happy we did. The location is beautifully secluded with your own stretch of creek. The ambiance was great as it felt very private with limited camp sites available but still a communal feel. Super kid friendly. Lots of games, outdoor prep space, and well cared for animals. Kendal and April were great hosts. We will definitely be back for more fossil hunting and immaculate vibes.
