Great great host very accommodating. I really enjoyed my stay there. He and his family made me feel like part of their family and their property. Anytime I needed anything. He was always there to help out and make helpful suggestions. We really enjoyed feeding his animals and thanked him for saving them. He runs a rescue for animals that are unwanted. He allowed us to feed his animals.
I’d also like to mention his wife Carla, who is also awesome and if you or your significant other is in need of a great manicure or pedicure, she was able to do that for us during our stay we thoroughly enjoyed that part of our stay. Getting your feet pampered is always a bonus during camping.
Thank you again Arcadio and Carla for your friendship and allowing us to stay on your property with our RV, we had a great time and we will definitely come back

Hosts are super nice and helpful. Beautiful large property and longhorn steer neighbors were quiet and curious. We had the place to ourselves and great to have our dog off-leash. So generous to include laundry and kayak use. We enjoyed a paddle up Rainbow River and drinks at Swampy’s bar and grille. Enjoyed local hikes too. Our best Hipcamp stay!

We spent four nights at the animal rescue ranch in our 21 ft Coleman. We fell in love with the land, the owners, and the animals! We will definitely be returning again! I loved being able to leave my dog so we could swim with manatees! You are supporting a wonderful mission and labor of love…by staying here!

Cool secluded spot for camping. Traveled with our 2 dogs for a quick overnight stay. The site had a fire pit and a table with chairs which was nice. There was a porta potty available close to the site. Quite & peaceful place to sleep under the stars. Host was responsive and super nice. No complaints :)

This is a great property with plenty of space to roam! We stayed the weekend with our 3 dogs, they loved the freedom and enjoyed being let loose.
The longhorn cows are amazing too!
We took a tour of the Back 40 farm, seen a lot of animals, and the amazing venue for special events!
We used the onsite kayaks and took a couple hours to paddle up the Rainbow River, which I believe is some of the most pristine water in the state of Florida!
We enjoyed our stay and will be back on the future!

We had a great time at Happy Campers Rescue Ranch! The animals were such a joy to visit with! They really loved apple slices and carrots ☺️ Other than the amazing animals, the other thing we loved so much about this campground was how quiet it is. So peaceful. The stargazing was incredible. They provided our personal outhouse, chairs, solar lights, and fire pit.
