Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Taylor’s land was a clean but still natural camping experience. The horses are well kept and cute. We had to change our RV size (our 21’ RV for our 40’ Motor coach) and was no problem at all they were able to accommodate us in a bigger size spot. The area was quiet of outside noises but you can hear the animals at night, even a little owl visit us while we were cooking outside. My dogs and us felt safe and relaxed. Took us around 5 minutes to get to the beach, no traffic, no crowds. I highly recommend you to visit them and stay the night.

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Very pleasant overnight. Charming young couple as hosts. I will stay again.

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Bell Oaks was the sweetest spot to camp!! Clearly marked spots, amazing scenery, nice bathroom, and the cutest friendly horses! Taylor was very responsive and helpful when I had questions. Best of luck to her and her family🌳🐎🏝️

3 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at The Hideaway! The campsite was exactly as described—well-maintained, spacious, and private, with beautiful creek frontage (though access to the water was limited due to brush). It was conveniently located near the shower, bathroom, and public areas, which made things easy. John was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. He had everything ready for us, including kayak rentals and even a lovely sunset pontoon cruise on the scenic creek. The site comfortably fit our three small tents and vehicles, with extra amenities like a picnic table, chairs, a hammock, and even a power cord—wish I had brought a hot pot! Some of my friends noticed light road noise since the site is near the entrance, but it didn’t bother me. We were part of a larger birthday celebration and may have been a bit loud at times, but John remained gracious and accommodating throughout. Everyone was especially excited that dogs were welcome—J and P’s pups were the sweetest! Morning coffee by the river while birdwatching was a personal highlight. I’d absolutely recommend this spot and hope we get the chance to return (hopefully a little quieter next time!). Thank you for hosting us!

Weekend Trip to J and P Creekside Retreat

AMAZING PLACE. So quiet and well kept. We enjoyed every second, even the rain. We were at the Hideaway. Very secluded and private. The bathroom was pristine. Outside shower was hot and wonderful. The launch for our canoe was fine and the creek was serene and easy to paddle. Pet Friendly!!!! Only comment… Would be nice to have an optional wee light in the shower, maybe a mirror.

2 nights at Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

I car camped it was great. As soon as I drove up to my site the horses were right there waiting for me lol. Taylor was super nice and accommodating, great host will definitely be back in the winter 👍🏼

Weekend Trip to Silver Bullet Stables

Silver Bullet Stables is a gem! Our family of four had a wonderful time here. We loved seeing and petting all the animals. Everyone on the farm was so kind to show us around. The land was beautiful, we camped right next to the fire which was nice. Bonus that there was a lounge area with couches and old western shows playing, a bathroom/shower as well. My kids loved it all. We can’t wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Me and my family loved camping in Taylor’s land. My girls loved feeding the horses. The views and Location (5 mins) from beautiful Gulf coast beaches was a Plus! I would definitely stay again

4 nights at Estero FL RV Lot

Great spot. Plenty of room for my 31ft Class A. No issue with 50a electrical, sewer, or water. Cute little Florida HOA community. Didn’t use the pool or other facilities but they looked like they’d be nice too. The last few hundred feet of the drive is definitely tight but just take it slow and it’ll be fine.

1 night at Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

This was such a great place to stay and the hosts were so friendly! Clean facilities and nice campsites! I would absolutely stay here again. Worth every penny.

Weekend Trip to Area 61 Camping

Perfection is the only way to describe this hidden gem. The host, Joe, could not have been more amazing. From greeting to departure I feel that I made a friend. Quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Made it into downtown Arcadia and had a great lunch and did some shopping. Close to peace river to find shark teeth. I hope joe keeps this place for years to come.

Weekend Trip to Area 61 Camping

Joe was a great host. Easy to talk to and very accommodating with his property. We loved our camp site and enjoyed all of the wildlife it had to offer. It is even more active early in the mornings. A lovely walk around the property doesn't disappoint. Joe loves to entertain the birds and squirrels as well. So many animals flourish to this site. We saw a bobcat, otters, an array of birds, deer, a turkey and some cows. I will definitely be back!!!! Thank you joe!

Weekend Trip to Meadow River Ranch

Campsite was amazing right on the water. Beautiful set up with amenities: grill, fire pit, and patio on the water. Jeff was extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

2 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

Very nice. Caught fish every day. Hosts were excellent. Very private and quiet. Plenty of space, shade & picturesque creek.

1 night at SWFL Everglades Camping

My wife and I were there for a few hours, unfortunately there was a brush fire that was a bit too close for comfort (wife is from Fire country out west). Amanda was very helpful getting info about the fire. Richard is onsite and is a hell of a nice guy, gave us some fruit and fishing advice about the pond on site. It’s remote and very quiet with some good fishing. Would recommend.
