Weekend Trip to Higher Ground "The Barn"

Absolutely loved camping out on their beautiful property. Very easy to get to and not to far from anything. The Host were extremely helpful and friendly and the property was clean. The best part was the outdoor shower. Will definitely go back if they will have me again.

4 nights at Happy Campers Rescue Ranch

These guys are excellent hosts! Everyone was friendly and laid-back, as well as super accommodating. The pig was super sweet, Thomas the turkey kept us great conversational company, and the goats were adorable.

Weekend Trip to Happy Campers Rescue Ranch

We loved his rustic trailer… Arcadio was amazing , very accommodating and helpful! He helped source wood for us even though there was plenty of dead wood to cut for yourself. And we enjoyed a movie night followed by s'more's that he sourced for us as well! We’ll be back!

1 night at Cabin Glamping

We loved our stay! It was an adorable cozy little cabin with the benefits of camping--dinner over a fire, enjoying the outdoors, and an outdoor shower (so cool and enjoyable--even when it got cold at night!). We will definitely be back here. Perfect for a short getaway weekend and very easy to take kids with you without the stress of cramming into a tent and/or getting bad sleep on the ground. We brought out 5 month old and had plenty of room for her portacrib ! Very simple and fun!

2 nights at Happy Campers Rescue Ranch

5 nights at Happy Campers Rescue Ranch

my family & i have been tent camping, traveling all through the state of florida w rainbow springs state park being last on our list. we came across arcadio & his property & there was a camper to rent too!? we thought PERFECT - it's just a 15 minute drive to the swimming/kayaking area! we had add ons such as eggs, firewood & a movie night. wood was there upon arrival, he walked the eggs over when we got there & the movie night was a hit w the kiddos! we were traveling w a 120lb doggy & him being off leash was an option. arcadio is such a kind, laid back dude that strives to make your stay as comfortable as possible! anytime we had an issue he was on site within a couple of minutes ready to problem solve. our site was right across from the playground, so the kids were free to come & go from there. everyday they looked forward to taking our fruit scraps to wilbur! (the piggy) beautiful sunrises & sunsets, handy outdoor shower, fire ring was perfect for our cooking needs too. thank you for having us; we hope to be back some day 10/10 recommend :)

Weekend Trip to Sea Cow Campground <3

Dezarae’s property is so beautiful, surrounded by big trees and lots of birds. The glamping tent is extremely cozy and has so many nice amenities! I used the heater because it got down into the 40s and was very warm. There is electricity, a mini fridge, AC, fan, lamp, kettle, toaster, and big comfy air mattress. There were extra blankets, a compost toilet, and towels for the outdoor shower. I will definitely stay here whenever I’m in Crystal River!

1 night at Happy Campers Rescue Ranch
