Weekend Trip to Neal’s Nest
The land is spacious, private and welcoming. It is kept well. What impressed me the most are the plants around the perimeter. The owners planted fruit trees. That requires a complex set of skills including construction, farming and knowledge. We loved playing badminton. ~ Joe and Re

We had such a wonderful time. We had two toddlers and a dog. this was the perfect place for them to relax while we were going to my daughter’s annual doctors appt. Even the dog enjoyed it! We went about an hour to silver springs and got to see manatees and even a river otter. Five stars recommend!

Weekend Trip to Farm Camper
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the farm!
Melissa was on site to meet us upon arrival and direct us to our campsite. The area is secluded at the back of her property. The amenities were wonderful, including the hot tub! We also thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor shower with hot water. The AC in the camper was perfect for a summertime stay. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Neal’s Nest
It was a cute little setup! AC worked well and neighbors were nice. Only thing is we had to kill some brown widow spiders that were on the porch and close to the chairs under the table. I also paid for two bundles of firewood and never got them.

Weekend Trip to Neal’s Nest
We were searching for just SIMPLE. Neals Nest and Tina and her husband provided that. It was simple and provided that quietness we were looking for. We met other campers everyone was friendly. Florida has a leash law for pets but everyone we met had pets and were respectful of dogs needing to be dogs and not be on a leash. We met with Tina and they have a awesome Pit bull who has an awesome friendly disposition my 6 lb Chihuahua fell in love with him. They became best friends, this place is beautiful, simple, and peaceful. It offers what as a first time camper in many years would look for. I highly recommend Neals. An RV'er who is a contractor has an RV there, they showed up an the community camp fire and introduced themselves they had 2 beautiful great danes and a gorgeous Chihuahua and were respectful to ask if we minded if their dogs were able to run around... obviously as dog owners we said we absolutely didn't mind... Just a great weekend.

1 night at Neal’s Nest
Amazing character! Had a long journey for a week traveling. It was late in the afternoon when I made contact. I was welcomed warmly on such short notice. Granted there was a previous HC that checked out just that afternoon. I explained how far away I was and asked if it were at all possible just to sleep there. I didn’t care about any other amenities come near midnight. The fact that I entered the glamper and it had good A/C, comfortable bed, and a good cold shower I was in a great position. I woke up feeling a calm knowing that that would be the day got back home. Really helped clear my head in a peaceful quite private area. That simple gesture from her will always be one of my favorite times crossing paths with a complete stranger. Hopefully each of you will be able to cross paths with Tina.

Loved the cabin we stayed in at Neal’s Nest. The property layout was perfect. It was quiet and cozy for my entire family. Neal’s Nest is a hidden gem that is tucked away and private but close to town. It’s super quiet and host is very friendly and knowledgeable of the surrounding area. I noticed the constellations our first night there so I shared it withTina when I saw her the following day. She shared some historical data about the town which was an added touch. Moreover we were able to visit several local eateries and two springs. The best thing for my family is that Neal’s Nest is pet friendly. We travel everywhere with our dogs and Neal’s Nest is accommodating to our furry friends. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Neal’s Nest
We stayed in the cabin and it was so perfect for 2 people and a dog! Well stocked, beautifully decorated and very comfy. We had coffee on the porch in the morning. I would highly recommend!
I think the only thing that stood out to me is that the pillows were a bit flat so I just grabbed one of my own to throw on (a personal preference) and the showers water pressure was on the light side. The shower got super hot though, which I love.
This cabin is perfect for those who need a rest from traveling or want a weekend trip. It's only 30 mins to Cedar Key

Beautiful property with tall trees only a few miles from a variety of food. Today my family and I checked out Manatee Springs and caught a glimpse of 8 giant manatee in the clear springs. This is an awesome and peaceful escape from the city life! 🙌🏻 Great host and highly recommended this hipcamp adventure!
