Weekend Trip to Silver Bullet Stables

We loved our stay at Silver Bullet Stables! The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The property is beautiful, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit and taking horse riding lessons!

2 nights at Healing Tree Homestead

We had a wonderful two days camping. Our 4yr old loved the Zipline and farm animals. If you have an interest in foraging, homesteading, food forests etc this place is absolutely for you. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable while still being respectful of your space. We look forward to visiting again.

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.

Weekend Trip to Costa Myakka

We had a group of 30 for our daughter's sweet 16th birthday and it was perfect! The kids explored the property, swam, kayaked and fished.

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 Costa Myakka

I loved camping at Becca and Kary’s spot, this is now my favorite camping place yet! I loved how quiet it was and serene- it felt like I was the only one there. My dog loved being able to swim in the river. Lots of time spent riverside sunbathing and reading. The porta potty was clean and convenient. The only sounds to be heard were birds and night sounds mostly, I did hear some moo’ing and a dog barking a little bit but it didn’t bother me at all… the whole weekend was SO PEACEFUL. I didn’t want to leave.

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Great place to stay, close to beach and town but away from it all at night. Host were great checked in with us and let us be. We had 2 big dogs and plenty of room for them.

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.

1 night at Costa Myakka

The property is expansive and we enjoyed walking around it with our dog. Splashed around and wasted in the water for over an hour. Dog zoomies in the water?? Priceless! We loved our tent-camping site but on our walk we saw several other nice sites and a picnic area. Next time we may rent kayaks! We were pleasantly surprised there was a port-o-john on the property, which was very clean. The only drawbacks were slight. When we stopped at the homestead to meet the host, a barking dog announced our arrival. No front door clearly visible, so it was several minutes of the dog barking non-stop and me calling out for anyone who may hear before someone came out. I may recommend training the son how to host if he is going to regularly be the greeter. We will bring a shovel next time in case there are cow patties on the campsite, as they are not removed in preparation for guests. Otherwise, we enjoyed the solitude and quiet. Unassuming place and we were left to our own devices. We will save the spot for future visits!

Weekend Trip to Costa Myakka

We continue to have a wonderful experience every time we camp at Costa Myakka!! It’s so beautiful and tranquil.. We requested firewood and Cary brought us a big bunch of great logs to burn. I highly recommend staying there!!

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Bell Oaks Ranch is a wonderful place! If you want to spend some quiet weekends with R & R, or bring friends to enjoy a night of fun, sharing stories around the campfire while making s’mores, grilling hotdogs and making popcorns and lots of awesome reasons why we choose to go camping, consider Bell Oaks Ranch. We met the horses and they’re adorable!! Our camphost, Taylor was very helpful. Glad to see her again after many years! ❤️ We loved our site and we got to meet our friendly RV neighbors from Canada. It was fun walking at historic Dearborn and looking at amazing works by our Florida artists. Manasota Bay is beautiful! This is our 1st booking at HipCamp and it’s a great experience.

Weekend Trip to Joyful Cedar Farm

This place is everything. It’s got perfect accommodations, inexpensive, friendly farm life, utilities for campers. I’m obsessed with the bunnies are so cute and friendly.

Such a beautiful and serene place to stay! The hosts were lovely and accommodating and we enjoyed our 2 week stay very much. The location is great being central to beaches and shopping.

2 nights at Joyful Cedar Farm

Absolutely wonderful stay. Katie was so kind and hospitable. Lovely intimate setup in the back yard with chickens, ducks and bunnies. Extremely convenient location with nearby groceries, pharmacy and restaurants. If I’m in the area again, this is where you’ll find me!

2 nights at Costa Myakka

We love the solitude, starry nights, kayaking with no other soul in sight, watching otters play and listening to Barred Owls. Peace and nature.
