Come camp in the woods right off the Perdido River. There is a short walk to the cabin, either along boardwalks or via a trail, and we provide carts to make it easy. Across the floating bridge is a sandbar where you can hang out with other river rats and enjoy a cold one.
The Perdido River is known for great tubing and kayaking. We have tubes available to loan. A float from Fillingim’s Landing to our sandbar takes about four hours with stops. If you’re looking for an all-day adventure, you can put in at Barrineau Park Bridge.
We are 420-friendly, and if you want to enjoy a beer, we’ll probably join you. There is a large outdoor fire pit and grills available for use. I also have camping hammocks that can be set up for extra guests, as well as a camping toilet. All I ask is that you clean up after yourselves, bring all trash up front to the garbage cans, and keep the volume down by 10:00 p.m.

Sweet little spot that feels very private even though there were other campers around. The layout of the campground is very intentional and thoughtful. Fresh eggs, outdoor shower, and pre-built fire were excellent touches, as others have said. I was worried their might be competition for the toilet or shower, but it was never an issue.

This Rustic Retreat House is good for "River Rats" -- people who want to spend the most time outdoors kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, lounging on the chairs, having a campfire and smores at night. This place is not for "Swan Princesses" -- it is not fancy or new. It is rustic. There are 2 bedrooms & we loved the firm foam mattress in the Captain's Quarters bedroom. My kids slept fine in the other bed, but it was softer. There is one bathroom & the tub has hot water, but it is a bit finicky to turn on/off. There is no formal kitchen, if you need to actually cook, this is not the place for you.
We really enjoyed getting away for the weekend & our primary purpose was to be outside on the water, in the water, visit Roger's Park which was only about a 15-20 minute kayak ride away, & explore the area, eat good seafood. We really wanted to see some manatees & saw a mama and her baby -- yay -- plus lots of birds, some fish, some turtles.
We loved getting up in the morning & going right out back to the boats, getting in the water, paddling around the Mud River/Weeki Wachee. Then at night we roasted hot dogs, made smores by the fire.
The house is located right at a thoroughfare so you do get to see all the other kayakers, boats, jet skis which we enjoyed.
This house is best for people that are more chill & lower expectations. It is not glamorous -- it's old, a bit overcrowded, & the floors tilt, but it's great for getting away, using the boats, & being on the river.

Cassandra and Walt were wonderful hosts and have a beautiful set of land that is well maintained for their guests. I stayed in the cabin, which was perfectly curated for a home-y, country feel. The cabin was fully stocked with everything you may need in the kitchen and bathroom, which made packing a breeze! There was a grill, table & chairs, and a fire pit on the outside of the cabin which made a great evening hangout spot. (Firewood provided) They have chickens which you’re welcome to grab eggs from, and a couple adorable kitties running around to try and make friends with. My favorite part of my stay here is how dog friendly they are! I brought my border collie and he had the BEST time being able to roam around and smell things, and the cabin was perfect to leave him in while I was at the local springs kayaking. The property also has several camper and tent sites, which is great to have options but even better that I was able to have several friends book on the same property! I highly recommend this Hipcamp and will definitely be back!

We had the chance to stay at the A-frame Cabin which has all you need, including it's own bathroom and shower. The campgrounds are secluded but not so much that, if you need to go into the city it will only take you about 15-20 mins to get to the grocery stores. There are great restaurants in downtown Punta Gorda. John & Patty are great hosts and they are very welcoming of pets, which is very important to us. We will definitely be staying again.

My two children (4yo and 7yo) and I spent three nights at the cottage and we are already thinking when we could go back!!! March weather was fantastic and the property was perfect for us so we had no need to explore anywhere else. The cottage itself had everything I/we needed (in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom) so my stay was stress free. When we first entered, there was music playing inside so it felt like we just returned home from running errands. The dried lavender in the bedroom was also a very nice little detail.
The owners were super friendly and accommodating. My kids connected with their granddaughter and were playing outside all day long. They were allowed to pick fresh eggs from the chicken coop, run around freely and just be kids which I really appreciate. I walked around barefoot, cooked on the grill, we ate outside, we made fire at night and in the mornings I drank coffee on the steps watching butterflies and listening to birds chirping. I feel recharged, kids have new memories and we cannot wait to visit again. Our new happy place - Thank you!

But the hosts are just as great… I noticed at night, when you walk out of the bathroom you can see the stars peeking through the trees and moss, so don’t forget to look up! The bathrooms and shower house were top notch. I would love to stay again if I am ever in the area.
