3 nights at Roots ReTREEt in Old Florida

Great communication with the host, Jay, who was off property at the time. He made sure that we had what we needed and answered any questions that I had. Hospitable. Also an AWESOME caretaker of the property, Liz. She showed us around and told us about the animals in the area. Jay and Liz made this trip so amazing. The site felt completely private. My son and I spent almost all of our time down at the outside yard area where there was cooking and device using and relaxing and napping for four days. I loved the hot tub. My son and I got to watch our first space coast launch from the backyard. (Thanks Liz! I wouldn't have known it without you!) My kiddo loved that! The outside cooking area was awesome and great accessibility being able to use my cooking stove and utensils and I have a two slice toaster and a single burner with pans. I was able to feed my son what I would normally feed him. And while there is no shower hookup the water hose was more than adequate for just about everything we needed and there is water in the sink down at the outdoor cooking area. And it tastes clean. It was quiet outside of random cars on the back road. Nights were very quiet. I wish I had taken pictures of the area but I totally forgot while enjoying the hot tub on site 24/7. The cabana is very comfortable for a nap by the way. There are so many chairs, lounging was easy. Loved the tornado fans that kept the outside cool and mosquitos out. It was perfect. We're coming for my birthday in a month!

2 nights at Roots ReTREEt in Old Florida

Jay was a great host; friendly, helpful and interesting. The grounds are beautiful and very relaxing. We hope to go back. This was our first Hipcamp experience and we knocked it out of the.

1 night at Camp Shiloh

Very nice spot, easy to find and a comfortable place to stay. Less then an hour from cape canaveral and cocoa beach! Very little traffic noise 👍🏻 would stay again!

2 nights at Sandy's Swamp land in Florida

We came out for our 1 year anniversary and had a blast! Huge fish! A zip line. Nice screened in area with chairs and a porte potty. We went adventuring in the woods which we love to do! We will definitely be back here! Sandy was the perfect host and answered all the questions we had and could recommend great places to check out!!! Thank you for the hospitality!! Almost forgot, perfectly private! 😁

Weekend Trip to Roots ReTREEt in Old Florida

I loved staying at this beautiful property in a quiet corner of old Florida. The surroundings were lovely, and Jay had everything we needed - a level camp spot, water and electricity, and a hot tub! I loved watching all the fireflies at night. Don't miss out on driving through nearby Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and seeing all the birds.

Weekend Trip to Camp Shiloh

Love this campsite! If you are not confident you can go camping in a tent but want to try, this is the spot for you! Includes electric and bathrooms and firewood and chairs. The place is private and cozy and clean.

Weekend Trip to Dirt Road Camp

Exactly as described. Lots of room to set up. Friendly and accommodating host.

2 nights at Camp Shiloh

The host's were very kind and understanding. The site is clean and they supply you with wood. I hope they can forgive our little inconvenience that was unfortunately unavoidable. Thanks for everything.

4 nights at Cocoa Camping Space Coast

Easy to find. Central to everything we wanted to do/see. As a rail fan having a site along the tracks was a plus. David was great.

11 nights at Lakeside RV site

Thanks Laura we had a wonderful time at your place!!!

1 night at Patmos Island

Easy area to park the RV and extra vehicle. Very natural setting that really felt like Florida. Dogs were happy to be off leash. Owners were kind and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Sandy's Swamp land in Florida

We had a wonderful time camping in the woods. There were 4 of us, two of us have not slept in tents in decades. During our entire stay, we did not run into any other campers. In the morning we even used the canoe to see some of the birds and scenery in the area. Over all we had an even greater time than anticipated. One of the best features was how secluded the area felt.

Weekend Trip to Bear Knot

Very invite and cool place making you feel like you are out in the wild being so close to anything you need. Host Julie was super nice and helpful. Would recommend for a night or weekend stay.

Weekend Trip to Sandy's Swamp land in Florida

Sandy was very accommodating. When we arrived she did a great job showing us around so we knew where everything was. We enjoyed camping here. It was quiet and had all the amenities we were looking for. We did a short weekend getaway. We would come back again.

Weekend Trip to Beach at the Oaks

Debra was awesome, her property was nice, clean and beautiful. Everyone was so friendly and helpful it felt like home away from home. My children enjoyed the property. One suggestion is to add an additional picnic table. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

Craig was such a wonderful host, he told us about a rocket lauch to see from the streat and a few other remarkable things. The place is equipped with 30/50 amp., water and sewer. And a very good italien restaurant around the corner 👍😄 Absolutely great, thanks to Graig and Lauren. Highly recommended.

6 nights at Pine Tree Paradise

Gayle is a kind and attentive host. She gave us valuable advice on activities to do in the area. I recommend her without hesitation.

Weekend Trip to Taylorville

Beautiful area, great location, and private. The place might seem iffy at first but once you talk to the host all those worries go away. She is very nice and respectful, and even went out of her way to let us know there was a rocket launch scheduled that day! Above and Beyond! Definitely consider staying here again and recommend to anyone who wants peace and quiet.

2 nights at Roots ReTREEt in Old Florida

Jay was had a great place. Jay was more than accommodating. We loved it so much we stayed an extra day. Jay was easy to communicate with before arrival and after we arrived. Jay was gone part of the time we were there, and Liz was there to meet us: and make sure we had everything we needed. Both were great people, that we were glad we got to meet! We will be back next year!

3 nights at Camp Shiloh

I loved this hipcamp so much. It is very close to the north entrance into Merritt Island Wildlife Preserve. So much to do around that area. I travel in a Ford Transit van and I had my little area of the yard with picnic table and fire ring.

Camp Shiloh

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · Oak Hill, FL

Shiloh was the name of an early Florida town that was once located just down the road from our property. It was populated by hardy, adventurous folks who made a way for themselves and their families by clearing a spot along the lagoon, building a home and forging a life in a new location. But Shiloh is now lost, literally removed from the maps. It no longer exists. When NASA needed a perimeter zone for the newly emerging space program in the 1950s, the federal government purchased large swaths of land between Oak Hill and Titusville, FL. Residents were bought out and forced to move. Houses were relocated or demolished. Shiloh disappeared into history while the space-age pushed forward into the future. However... some foundations still can be found in the woods not far away, if you know where to look. There are even cemeteries that remain, whispering the names of individuals and families. As a tribute to those early adventurers, we have named our place Camp Shiloh. We honor the past, we respect the wild Florida that surrounds us, and we celebrate the future as we watch rocket launches from our porch. You are welcome to stay on the property while you explore the local communities of New Smyrna and Titusville, relax at beautiful Canaveral National Seashore, attend races in Daytona, visit amusement parks in Orlando... or whatever! It’s up to you. We are a peaceful, safe location from which you can stage your Florida adventure. Come on by. We look forward to hosting you! Learn more about this land: Park your van/small RV or pitch your tent on our rural homestead conveniently located 1000 ft off of US Hwy 1. Nearest I-95 exit is 3 miles away. Watch rocket launches, visit nearby beaches, attend NASCAR races, see local communities, relax at Canaveral National Seashore, birdwatch at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, fish Mosquito Lagoon, or visit the amusement parks of Orlando, we are a safe and quiet location from which to stage your adventures. We have two campsites. Site 1 is a nice level, grassy campsite for tent or RV, complete with a fire ring, picnic table, and firewood. Site 2 is the Glamping Greenhouse! We aren't fancy, but are clean, secure, and private. You can come and go as you please, and day-trip all over beautiful central Florida!

Patmos Island

3 sites · RVs3 acres · New Smyrna Beach, FL

We have 3 acres right in the middle of town in New Smyrna Beach. It's a quiet setting behind Sacred Heart church, sandwiched between a large open field and the railroad tracks far in back behind trees. We've worked hard to make it a cozy retreat - like setting where people can spend a few nights in an affordable manner just 5 minutes from the beaches and fun New Smyrna Beach attractions. Biking, boating, sunning, fishing, paddle-boarding, kayaking, eating... all within a few minutes of your quiet retreat. Our house is on the property but it's 200 feet away behind trees/bushes. It's a 100 year old house built from the wood of a church in NSB. Lifted up on a Coquina rock wall it is quite unique. There is a large secluded area where your dogs can be run. We have dogs too but there's plenty of room to share.
