1 night at Runaway Bay Lodge

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!

Weekend Trip to Camp Shiloh

Love this campsite! If you are not confident you can go camping in a tent but want to try, this is the spot for you! Includes electric and bathrooms and firewood and chairs. The place is private and cozy and clean.

2 nights at Camp Shiloh

The host's were very kind and understanding. The site is clean and they supply you with wood. I hope they can forgive our little inconvenience that was unfortunately unavoidable. Thanks for everything.

3 nights at Camp Shiloh

I loved this hipcamp so much. It is very close to the north entrance into Merritt Island Wildlife Preserve. So much to do around that area. I travel in a Ford Transit van and I had my little area of the yard with picnic table and fire ring.

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 ✌️ 🤤

3 nights at Redfoot Ranch

We loved our 3-night stay at Redfoot Ranch. Mark and his wife, Sherri, are very welcoming and hospitable. They met us at the gated entrance when we got there and escorted us to our private, full hook-up site. A haven for all kinds of wildlife, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the Sandhill cranes, ducks, squirrels, deer, birds, and turtles. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet. We brought our trailer with our Polaris and rode out to the Ocala National Forest for hours every day right from their property! It was perfect for us. We felt so safe, as the property is fenced in with a gated entrance, and didn’t even need to lock the RV door when we left! Looking forward to our next visit!

2 nights at Waterfront Island Bungalow

My husband and i have birthdays within a couple weeks of each other and decided to celebrate them at Cristina’s property. The WiFi password hints at getting off your devices and we took that advice to heart. Naps, reading, walks/exploration, bike rides, wild animals, farm animals (including the friendliest kitty), sunsets, and sunrises was the prescription and the Waterfront Island Bungalow delivered. On top of that, Cristina and Ed were gracious and welcoming hosts. If you are looking to relax and unplug, this should be your destination. We’ll be back.

2 nights at Camp Shiloh

This spot was great, it was nice and flat, provided electric hookup, privy was nice and in the woods. Troy was always responsive and wife Valerie meet us at site. This is really close to Merritt Island wild refuge.

Weekend Trip to Camp Shiloh

We went tent camping at Troy and Valerie’s place and enjoyed our time there! The site was prepped and ready for our arrival. The lights they have around the site made a huge difference with being able to see around. The privy was a short walk away and the campfire ring was bigger than we saw in the pictures. It’s only about 15min to New Smyrna Beach where there is plenty of things to do to pass the time if need be. Troy and Valerie were easily contacted through the HipCamp app and were friendly. Thank you for the use of your site!!!

1 night at Pine Tree Lane

It was a good location (within 20 minutes of historic Mount Dora) with clear and level land.

2 nights at Waterfront Island Bungalow

This was an outstanding experience. The hosts are kind, intentional, and organized while the cat, goats, ducks & chickens fill out an ensemble cast. It isn’t exactly an “old Florida” vibe but both Publix & Whole Foods are over an hour (plus a boat ride) away. Amaze your followers with the words “secluded cabin on a private island” but be prepared to bring your own mimosas and canapés.

1 night at Camp Shiloh

Camp Shiloh was a peaceful, quiet, clean and easy to find spot. Very easy to find. Troy responded quickly to all my questions.

2 nights at Camp Shiloh

Site is clean and clearly built as a camp site. There are chairs, picnic table and a nice fire ring. Hosts are really great and everything is easy. Location is perfect to go see a rocket launch.

Weekend Trip to Camp Shiloh

Very quiet place at the end of the lane. Great, accommodating hosts and we were able to get her quickly after a full day at the Space Center. Single site with 30 amp, fire pit, picnic table, trash, firewood!

Weekend Trip to The Olde salt Springs Camp

It was absolutely perfect! We will definitely be back..

Weekend Trip to Camp Shiloh

Really pretty spot, probably not bad for bird-watching! Thoughtfully put together.

Weekend Trip to Runaway Bay Lodge

We recently stayed at this glamping spot, and it was such a wonderful experience! The place has a cute and cozy vibe that instantly puts you at ease, and the hot tub was the perfect way to relax and unwind. The stunning sunset views were a real highlight, adding to the overall peaceful and calming atmosphere. It’s the perfect getaway for anyone looking to recharge in a serene and beautiful setting.

Weekend Trip to Camp Shiloh

Camp Shiloh was absolute perfection! It’s going to be our new weekend getaway! Hosts are friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect - only minutes away from the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge day use area. We were able to ride our e-bikes there and have a picnic on the water. We enjoyed Scottsmoor Flatwoods Sanctuary that’s close as well. The grass site was perfect to not track sand into the camper like usual. Site was easy to back into and firewood was provided. A+ Hip camp! We will be back!

Camp Shiloh

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents3 acres · Oak Hill, FL

Shiloh was the name of an early Florida town that was once located just down the road from our property. It was populated by hardy, adventurous folks who made a way for themselves and their families by clearing a spot along the lagoon, building a home and forging a life in a new location. But Shiloh is now lost, literally removed from the maps. It no longer exists. When NASA needed a perimeter zone for the newly emerging space program in the 1950s, the federal government purchased large swaths of land between Oak Hill and Titusville, FL. Residents were bought out and forced to move. Houses were relocated or demolished. Shiloh disappeared into history while the space-age pushed forward into the future. However... some foundations still can be found in the woods not far away, if you know where to look. There are even cemeteries that remain, whispering the names of individuals and families. As a tribute to those early adventurers, we have named our place Camp Shiloh. We honor the past, we respect the wild Florida that surrounds us, and we celebrate the future as we watch rocket launches from our porch. You are welcome to stay on the property while you explore the local communities of New Smyrna and Titusville, relax at beautiful Canaveral National Seashore, attend races in Daytona, visit amusement parks in Orlando... or whatever! It’s up to you. We are a peaceful, safe location from which you can stage your Florida adventure. Come on by. We look forward to hosting you! Learn more about this land: Park your van/small RV or pitch your tent on our rural homestead conveniently located 1000 ft off of US Hwy 1. Nearest I-95 exit is 3 miles away. Watch rocket launches, visit nearby beaches, attend NASCAR races, see local communities, relax at Canaveral National Seashore, birdwatch at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, fish Mosquito Lagoon, or visit the amusement parks of Orlando, we are a safe and quiet location from which to stage your adventures. We have two campsites. Site 1 is a nice level, grassy campsite for tent or RV, complete with a fire ring, picnic table, and firewood. Site 2 is the Glamping Greenhouse! We aren't fancy, but are clean, secure, and private. You can come and go as you please, and day-trip all over beautiful central Florida!
