There aren't words enough to explain the amazing vibe of this place.....just book a site. We recommend the Tikka masala add on. Beautifully done 4 course meal, fine dinning meal in a laid back casual setting with one of a kind hosts! Kudos Christina and Kennedy can't wait to return for a 3 retreat!

11 nights at Lakeside RV site

Weekend Trip to Private Escape on the Lake

1 night at Lady Winona's Camp

Always a pleasure to stay here. Never had a bad stay and visit weekly.

2 nights at Private Escape on the Lake

We loved the leisurely feel of Paul's property. It was peaceful, calm, and quiet. We took a short walk to the pier extending into the lake. Later, we enjoyed a campfire under the stars. Paul is a very friendly host.

2 nights at Florida fun on the farm

All those pretty horses! This place is perfect for relaxing! No annoying noises just nature and horses. And not to forget an incredibly nice and charming host. It was so nice talking to Mindy! Power, water and sewage by the side. To cut a long story short: H i g h l y recomendable!

Weekend Trip to Family Farm Close to Everything!

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend at the farm! Margarita and Rob were very kind and welcoming. Setting up our travel trailer was super easy. I loved meeting and learning about the animals - highland cows, mini donkeys, goats, chickens, and ducks. Even got to hold one of the baby goats! We'll definitely be back again and plan to get our eggs from them moving forward. Would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to 5 J’s Camp

This campsite had all the amenities you need to enjoy your stay. The location itself is beautiful and the hosts were some of the nicest people you can meet. Checked up on our group a few times to see if there was anything else they can do to ensure we had a pleasant time. The campsite itself is very generous with its space and the hut provided sufficient light that helped set up the tent at night when we got to the site. Lots of outlets and a decent sized fridge that we kept our food in to not attract animals. Shower is nothing to write home about, but it worked and the warm water felt nice after a long day of hiking around. The hosts provided us with lots of appliances that we were able to use to help heat up our coffee and food. Had a very nice couch area that we stayed around during the day. The firepit is pretty big and the hosts were gracious enough to leave us some wood ready for us to use when creating a fire. Overall 10/10 expierence, and will be returning sometime soon.

4 nights at Lady Winona's Camp

Well kept property that is the perfect place to end up at after a busy day. Pull up, unlock/lockup gate, park your car... its simple, clean, and as long as your respectful to other "hipcampers" (since your sharing space with them) it's the perfect place for a stay to escape the busy world right outside the gate.

2 nights at Lakeside RV site

Beautiful lakeside site, pretty secluded with private dock and kayaks available. Sunrises were beautiful. Such a wonderful, peaceful place. Laura, our host, was wonderful and kind. Will definitely be back.

3 nights at Private Escape on the Lake

Escape to this hidden gem on the lake, a secluded paradise perfect for a private getaway. The camping site offers the perfect setting for your trailer, complete with a 50 amp hook up and water connection. Whether you have furry companions or just yearn for tranquility, this place is ideal for you. Just a stone's throw away from the vibrant DeLand, where the fun never ends. The warm welcome we received, with assistance to our site and ensuring we had all essentials, made our stay even more special. Without a doubt, we cannot wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Lakeside RV site

We loved the privacy, and being right on the lake, with great a view! Loved being able to kayak - which we took advantage of. Enjoyed having a fire in the provided fire pit. Easy level site to pull into although we would suggest bringing a long sewer hose as the dumping receptacle is not right at the electric and water pedastal. We would highly recommend this location, and we will go back again for a longer period of time.

3 nights at Private Escape on the Lake

This was a beautiful place with a lake and “old Florida” appeal with huge oaks and Spanish moss. We even had an orange tree right behind our rig. Paul was a great host and kept up with our stay.

2 nights at Runaway Bay Lodge

We will definitely be coming back to explore. Oh my goodness. My partner and I have been disheartened with the state of the world and working multiple jobs and moving and my daughter and I have been having health issues. So we just really needed some rest and mental peace. Kennedy was such a sweet awesome human and the space was everything anticipated. Nothing like a naked nap by the water ✌️ 🤤

Really great location close to the beach and grocery stores and restaurants, yet it is still in a quiet place just off the beaten path. Roxie is a wonderful host who met us upon arrival and departure to make sure all was going well. She even gave us some amazing fresh eggs from her chickens that roam freely on the land. (Be prepared for a lot of rooster crowing EARLY in the mornings). Our campsite was level and had water and electric. It was not too close to the other campers who were there and we had plenty of privacy. Star gazing was awesome! Highly recommend."
