37mi from Apollo Beach · 6 sites · Tents, RVs · New Port Richey, FL

Our RV and Tent 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 two open air pavilions with several places to sit and enjoy nature. Cell phone service is not a problem, as we are not 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 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.

3 nights at Wilderness Shores Ranch Campground!

We had an amazing time camping here for my husband's birthday 🎂 waking up to the animals in the morning was our daughters favorite part. Maisie is so lovable and sweet we can't wait to come back.

Great spot! Just 10 minutes from downtown and the pier. The location was super quiet, and we parked comfortably on their wide driveway—our van fit perfectly. No noise at all during the night, and hooking up to electricity was quick and easy. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Cotee River Bend

We enjoyed our stay on Laura's land. The gate was open when we got there and the directions were perfect. The rv spot was easy to park, and water and electric were available to hook up. The location is ideal, plenty of nature to find near by, paddle trails and beaches within 30 minutes. We hope to camp there again!

Great place to stay near all St. Pete attractions! Few mins from highway in safe quiet neighborhood! As a Single woman with a dog, it’s wonderful to have this safe sanctuary to return to time after time!

We were looking for a short stay near Tarpon Springs and Clearwater and we had a great stay at Laura and JRs! They have a beautiful spot on the river with clean bathrooms and shower. We loved enjoying the path to the little river too!
