3 nights at FOB Pelican at Little Pelican Bayou

Awesome people and awesome place! Great find! 10 out of 10!

1 night at The Wandering Path

The campground was great! It’s so quiet and off the beaten path that you feel like you are out on a backpacking trip, rather than just a short walk from your vehicle and bathrooms! The bath house was clean and the outdoor kitchen was so pretty! Would totally stay here again! Also met Bella the camp pup in the morning when we were eating breakfast at the outdoor kitchen. She was a total sweetheart.

2 nights at Larry & Sheila's Blackwater Getaway

They always go above and beyond to make sure guest are happy . We go as often as we can and recommend to our family and friends. Our son and his family also go often . Don’t miss out this is the Best place we have ever found .

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

We absolutely loved camping at site #8. The site was private and remote but not difficult to hike to. Highly recommend bringing a cart to haul everything to your site. We can't wait to go again.

Weekend Trip to Larry & Sheila's Blackwater Getaway

Larry & Sheila are fantastic hosts. RV sites were spacious enough that we also could put up our tent. Lots of shade kept the heat at bay. Facilities are clean and convenient and the proximity to the water was great for the kids. We are glad to have found this place, enjoyed the seclusion of the camp, and will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to 30a Paradise Pines RV Parking

Almost didn’t write this review because I want to keep it a secret. But Steve and his family are such amazing host they deserve recognition. This site is perfect in so many ways. There’s amazing beach access and short bike right away to all the fun. At the site you get amazing views of the forest that make you feel like your world away.

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

Amanda was a wonderful host, very attentive and sweet. The property is gorgeous and the creek is the perfect remedy for a hot Florida day. The property pup Bella was sweet as can be and she welcomed our pup openly. This is the perfect place to unplug and recharge. We will definitely be back.

1 night at The Wandering Path

The area was ready for us to start enjoying ourselves. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The only thing that was a little unsettling was the gun fire that seemed rather close. But everything else was perfect. The bathhouse was very clean, the property was very well kept to nature and we will come back again.

1 night at The Wandering Path

I decided to treat my parents while they were in town to a night in the woods. This is now going to be the new tradition when they come. My dad absolutely loved it and actually wants to go back. Amanda has truly cultivated a uniquely wonderful camp experience. Plan on eventually trying to get the whole family out there for a camp weekend.

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

Very quiet, perfect place for getaway! Definitely coming here again.

Weekend Trip to FOB Pelican at Little Pelican Bayou

We had such a great time at little pelican! The airstream was awesome and the property was meticulously well kept. We enjoyed morning paddle in the kayaks.

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

Amanda the owner is awesome, but we loved Bella her 15 y/o pup the best! Great location easy to play on the river/creek, hike some trails, be relaxed in peace and beauty. We stayed at the rv spot- we didn’t have a 30min converter so she let us borrow one - great weekend on river

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

The host is amazing. She is very welcoming and attentive. The site is super clean and peaceful with enough room between sites to ensure privacy. Loved the covered outdoor kitchen area and the cedar walled restrooms. As for the waterfront: you just gotta go experience it! Thank you Amanda. P.S. we all loved Bella.

3 nights at The Wandering Path

beautiful spot! great shower and dishwashing area too… secluded enough for privacy and the river is amazing :)

1 night at The Wandering Path

Such a pretty spot, very quiet, clean and well-kept. Adorable bathhouse, also tidy and well-kept. Perfect place to get away and camp. Can’t wait to go back. 10/10
