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!

Welcome to Tranquil Oaks near the Gulf Coast! Secluded camping only 5 minutes from Lake Manatee State Park. Enjoy beautiful sunsets, s'mores by the fire pit, and experience a slice of old Florida charm while being only 10 minutes from I-75 and 40 minutes from the world-renowned white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island.
Your site includes a large concrete patio with a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit. This secluded RV/tent campsite offers electric and you can fill up your water tank with our hose.
The site is located next to our cattle ranch, and you will likely see our sweet herd of cows grazing in a nearby pasture (some of the friendly ones may come up to the fence to say hi). This offers you privacy while still being close to I-75 and all the modern conveniences (Publix supermarket is 1 mile away).
We are third generation cattle ranchers here in beautiful Bradenton, Florida, and on our property you'll find many species of palm trees and tropical plants.
Mornings are filled with birdsong, and you may see Sandhill Cranes, Ospreys, White Ibis, or even a Roseate Spoonbill -- and of course the rabbits, lizards and monarch butterflies that also enjoy this special little slice of paradise.
We live in the house next door to the campsite, and you'll likely see Ryan around the property working during your stay.
Our ranch offers you a chance to relax and reconnect with nature, while only being minutes from restaurants and convenience stores; 15 minutes from University Town Center, 15 minutes from Ellenton Outlets, and 30 minutes to downtown Sarasota.

Our camping area is surrounded by trees, so you won’t even realize that you are close to everything. You are only 9 minutes (4.9 mi.) away from the Sun-N-Fun Fly In, 35 minutes (19 miles) away from Jeeping with Judd, much less than that for restaurants, 6 minutes (2.3 mi.) from Walmart, and Home Depot is less than a mile away too! Many denominations of churches are also within 10 minutes of camping. Walt Disney World, Busch gardens and Sea World are all approximately 45 minutes away. There are many parks, hiking trails, and bike trails within a few-minute drive.
We have an outhouse (with a modern toilet), an outdoor heated shower, a cute “Clubhouse” (a converted 1950s camper) for small social gatherings, and 2 community fire pits. Electricity is available at the Clubhouse for small appliances and charging electronics. Several shared water faucets run off our well.
We can handle group camping as long as you realize that the single stall outhouse and shower house are "First come first served".
We hope that this is a quiet, relaxing place. Our quiet times are: weekdays at 9 pm and weekends at 12 am. Since this is a smaller place, we only have 1 public outhouse and 1 shower. They both are first come-first served. The “clubhouse” is available by reservation only.
Since there are exotic animals on site (all are caged and not visible), no pets are allowed. Courteousness will make this a very enjoyable stay.
We also have a small dump station for those who are staying (for an additional cash fee)
We have lived on this property securely since the early 70’s without issues but we hold NO LIABILITY for people or acts of God.

The place is amazing it’s a little pricier than state parks but it’s just amazing well worth it every respect. Even the little beach area gives you kind of a spring vibe. Becky Assistant with arrangementswas excellent and communication was perfect. Just make sure you pack what you actually need because the closest supermarket is about 40 minutes away!

Incredible place to camp, isolated with a pristine stretch of the river to swim in. Feels like Gilligans Island mixed with Australian Outback or African Savanah -absolutely gorgeous. The coyotes at night are something else and we heard a lot of great horned owls hooting, there were bright stars, an ice cold golden glistening river, palms and ancient oaks. Bliss. Bring food and water and fill up on gas it is a bit away from civilization. Which is My kind of place, we will be back.

Mike was a kind and welcoming host. He gave us a rundown of the entire Campground with details directions, and told us about local attractions that we should check out during our stay.
The campground itself is big and quiet, and very primitive. There are a few tables and chairs and fire rings around the campground but depending on who's staying those tend to move around. We had a table and a fire ring at our site when we came in. Plenty of sunshine for anyone who has solar power

This was the best camping I’ve done in a while. Beautiful place, nice staff and clean bathrooms. The owner took us on the UTV tour, he’s very nice and funny. The animals were so much fun to feed and see them freely grazing and walking around. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful experience! Nothing like seating down for a meal and having a longhorn right next to you! Beautiful place, very peaceful, just what we were looking for on our very first camping trip! Goats were a hit with our children, specially the baby goats!!!
If we could change one thing is how close to the main road the place is, we could still hear and see some traffic.. other than that great place to have a camping experience with little ones

We had such a wonderful experience camping here! From the moment we arrived, everything felt well-organized, clean, and welcoming. The campsite itself was spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with plenty of shade and just the right balance of privacy and community.
The facilities really stood out—bathrooms and showers were clean and well-maintained, which made a huge difference, especially with kids. There were also great amenities and activities that kept everyone entertained without feeling overwhelming.
One of our favorite parts was how peaceful and family-friendly the environment was. It felt safe, relaxed, and easy to enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort. The staff was friendly and helpful whenever we had questions.
Overall, this was such a positive first (or repeat) camping experience for our family. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun, low-stress outdoor getaway!

We will 1000% be returning in the near future! Our 3 kids (aged 9, 7 and 4) had the best spring break there and Cara at the front check in was great too! Everything is just such an experience and we can’t wait to return! Our kids especially loved being able to pet and feed the Billy goats and their precious babies!

I truly loved the views! You can kayak, have picnics in different areas, and I absolutely loved seeing the animals walking around freely. The bathrooms were clean, there were garbage cans everywhere, and the staff were very kind and helpful. Such a wonderful place!” 🌿 I will definitely come back with family next time.

Seriously a beautiful site with an amazing host who made sure we were taken care of. The site was beautiful and quiet and there was a dock go enjoy. Land to explore. Close to the town if needed. Will be back to enjoy the land more. Went to a festival and camped so didn't get to enjoy the site as much as we wanted, so we're gonna make a separate trip for that! He truly is a wonderful soul!

We had an amazing stay at Moonrise Palms! The site had everything we needed with water and electric hookups, and the setting was peaceful and beautiful! There is a picnic area with chairs as well. One of the absolute highlights was getting to feed the cows on the property. Such a fun experience for our whole family. They even provided a full barrel of hay for us, which made it extra special!
Melissa and Ryan were incredibly kind, welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. You can really tell they care about their guests having a great experience.
We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Moonrise Palms to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway!
