The best forest glamping sites near Arcadia

·

Part of DeSoto County, Arcadia is set in the middle of Florida with the Peace River and Gulf Coast close by, so there’s plenty of splish-splashing fun for campers. Roll the campervan into a full-service, waterfront RV park; choose a glampsite or riverfront cabin with a firepit for making s’mores under the stars; or pitch a tent at an off-grid campsite for a more secluded getaway. No matter where you stay, be sure to check out Alafia River State Park for fishing, hiking, and yurt rentals. Known as “Aviation City” thanks to two nearby U.S. Army airfields built during World War I, Arcadia is rich in history and early 20th-century architecture to be seen before heading out into the wilds.

🏕️ Sip & Sage Co. – The Bougie Backyard Getaway Not your typical Hipcamp. Not off-grid. Not remote. And not gonna lie—we don’t have goats or a mountain view... BUT we do have privacy screens wrapped around the whole space, a tree-covered backyard oasis, and one heck of a setup that’ll make you forget you're camping in a residential neighborhood. (Bonus: you can actually sleep at night without wondering if that noise was a raccoon or a serial killer.) This vintage camper may be small, but she’s mighty. Outfitted with a futon bed + a thick 6" foam mattress, she’s cozy enough for two—but let’s be real, you’re probably coming here to escape your kids, your job, or your loud in-laws. It’s giving "she shed meets sassy staycation." Inside: ❄️ Brand new 10,000 BTU A/C – You will get cold. You’ve been warned. 🧊 Small fridge for your bubbly or snacks (no cooking inside the camper though—this isn’t Top Chef). Outside: 🚽 A real camping toilet with a tank (none of that bag-it-and-hope-for-the-best stuff). 🚿 Cold-water outdoor shower + a vintage clawfoot soaking tub (hello boho luxury). 🌬️ Mister fans & shaded sails – keeping it cool, literally. 🍹 A full outdoor kitchen & tiki bar for mixing drinks or just feeling like you're on vacation. 🛋️ Outdoor couch/daybed for sun naps, deep thoughts, or binge-watching if you add the optional outdoor TV setup (extra fee applies—TVs don’t like dew). This space was designed by a mom who just needed a dang break. So Sip & Sage was born: part retreat, part glampfest, part wild idea turned into a whole vibe. There’s no bears, no bugs in your sleeping bag, and definitely no judgment if you show up with a bottle of wine and a face mask or bong and shots. (No parties though keep it low key) 📍Located on a quiet street in a safe residential area—you might hear a lawn mower or a giggling neighbor, but you won’t hear police sirens or wild party animals (unless it's you). So if you’re a camping newbie, a glamping goddess, or just someone who needs a little joy sprinkled on their week—this one’s for you. 💫

Where to go

Alafia River State Park

A reclaimed phosphate mine that’s now home to trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, Alafia River State Park features tent campsites, RV campgrounds, cabin rentals, and yurt rentals. Just make reservations online to ensure a spot during the busy months of June, July, and August. While here, kayak or canoe on the river while reeling in fish for dinner, or spend the day picnicking near the playground.

Peace River

Flowing adjacent to Arcadia, the 105-mile Peace River features fast-flowing water best for boating rather than swimming—a chartered airboat is a great way to explore. In August and September, though, water levels are lower and swimming is possible in shallower areas. The Northern Watershed area (known as Bone Valley) is a popular place for fossil digging, too. Find a waterfront campground nearby, and keep an eye out for alligators, turtles, and native birds.

Gulf Coast

Only an hour's drive west from Arcadia, the Gulf Coast is home to dozens of beaches where tepid waters make swimming, scuba diving, fishing, and strolling sandy shores enjoyable year-round. Abundant waterfront RV parks deliver easy access to the coastline for jet skiing and kayaking, too. These West Coast waves are smaller than those on the East Coast, so it’s an excellent spot to discover diverse marine life and search for seashell souvenirs.

When to go

Warm and balmy year-round, Arcadia is a hit no matter when campers come. Temperatures dip in winter (November until late February), but with an average high of 74°F in January, most find it warm enough to swim. Meanwhile, the peak of summer in July and August brings drizzly weather and temperatures up to 93°F. Most campers visit from February through May and October through December thanks to cooler weather that’s more manageable for outdoor activities.
