The best glamping near Doctor Phillips, Florida with wifi provided

It was a wonderful relaxing stay! Dona was a fantastic host and the tour was amazing! To see that many foxes up close, to feed them eggs was a bucket list moment!! Relaxing on the porch listening to the melodic howl of the papa new guinea dingo was something I didn’t know I needed in my life!! Also, the horses literally running around playing together is something I have never seen despite staying at horse sanctuaries before. Book now you won’t regret it!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Retreat

We had a great time. We had our dog with us which is always a bonus. Our hosts helped us with whatever we needed and addressed any concerns we had quickly and attentively. We came for the river access and enjoyed it very much. Though they live nearby and there was another family renting another RV, it felt pretty private. We enjoyed the treehouse spot, the fishing dock, and the comfort of the RV at the end of each night. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks again!

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

This was our first experience booking a stay with hipcamp, and it's really going to be a tough one to beat! The stay at Rob and Mike's was incredible, and I'm sure we'll be comparing all of our future adventures to this one--it will be difficult to live up to! The RV was great, the grounds were spectacular, and the ranch experience Rob and Mike led us through was something the kids and I won't forget anytime soon. They're already asking when we can go back! I honestly can't think of anything they could have done to make the stay better...they nailed everything from the big-picture stuff to the nitty-gritty details. Truly a wonderful experience. I would (and have!) recommend this to everyone I know--especially those with kids!

1 night at One-of-a-Kind SKOOLIE

The skoolie was the absolute best after camping for a few days in the August Florida heat. Melinda left out some snacks, and there was a full kitchen in which we cooked dinner. The bed and the pull out were both super comfy, and nothing beat the shower!! As far as skoolies go, this is one of the best I’ve seen! Melinda was also great, even letting us do some laundry in her guest house. Everything felt very safe and cozy, would definitely stay again!

We had a great time staying here. It feels secluded but was just a short drive to town. Lots of great options within a couple hours drive for day trips, and we appreciated Dona showing us the animals in the sanctuary and sharing her story. Thank you for the accommodations!

Weekend Trip to One-of-a-Kind SKOOLIE

I loved spending the night at the Skoolie after a long day of driving! It was so spacious, beautifully decorated and super cozy. The fully functioning kitchen, warm shower and AC made it feel like a luxury stay. I got to meet Melinda shortly when leaving and she was super sweet. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Our Family absolutely loved our stay! The campground was beautiful and peaceful, and all the attention to detail was amazing! We loved seeing the donkeys and horses come visit us every morning, it was the most fun way to start the day! We will for sure be back to stay again if we are ever traveling in the area.

Ou weekend trip to the area went perfect. There was very litte we need to leave for. There was great fishing spot for my children. Kyake use was included. Several grills to chose from even an area for projecting a movie. RV was well maintained and fully stocked in case you forget your own stuff. We really enjoyed ourselves and thank the Host for greeting us.

2 nights at Riverside Retreat

This was an awesome experience for my husband, myself and two grandsons aged 12 & 13. We live in SW Florida and love to camp. I stumbled across this amazing property on Hipcamp. It was like camping in the best possible place in Florida. A very comfortable RV that slept the four of us quite comfortably. Very well equipped kitchen but no oven. The best part was outside. The property sits right on the Withlacoochee River and kayaks are included so my grandsons were able to master the art of paddling while we were there. The rest of the time they were fishing and every time they cast their lines, they would have a blue gill on their hook within five minutes, we counted at least thirty fish between them. They have dartboards, toys, fire pits, beautiful lighting at night. This would be a great place for a family reunion or a group of friends if they like the outdoor life. Sandra and her husband were awesome hosts. We plan on going back soon.

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

What was meant to be a mother/daughter weekend getaway has turned into a family tradition thanks to Rob and Mike’s amazing accommodations and property! I live in Florida, in fact not far from this property and yet we felt like we were deep in the woods on a gorgeous property with awesome trails. The donkeys and horses are my daughter’s favorite. Oh and the farm tour, top notch! You can tell how much Rob and Mike love their animals, with 5 star accommodations for all their animals. Every moment at Lucky U Ranch has made precious memories we will cherish forever! Rob and Mike are the bests hosts and just awesome guys! You won’t be disappointed. Cant wait to book our next trip with them!

3 nights at Jungle Oasis

The property had three different places to stay. We chose the “Florida Breeze” which was a two bedroom “Barndominium”. Although we didn’t need a two bedroom this particular property was very large inside and had plenty of room for us and our three greyhounds. The property was well maintained, clean, and had everything we needed. On site the host runs an exotic animal sanctuary where they rescue rare animals. We took a tour of the property and saw a huge variety of different birds, some foxes, prairie dogs, lemurs, sheep, deer, horses, and tortoise. The host was very accommodating and friendly, plus we only saw them if we needed something. I would definitely stay here again if I’m ever traveling in the area.

Weekend Trip to Jungle Oasis

I can’t recommend Gulf Wind and Dona’s sanctuary enough! My son and I had planned a weekend camping outing originally scheduled at another location. We quickly realized the other location was not anywhere near what had been advertised and so I quickly contacted Dona to see if she had some last minute availability on her property. Dona was wonderfully responsive and super accommodating and so we headed over to hers as soon as possible. Our experience at Gulf Wind was beyond what we could have expected! The cabin was perfect, it was outfitted with everything we needed, and Dona also went the extra mile to bring us a firepit so we could make dinner and s’mores over the fire. Dona gave us a tour of the sanctuary and took the time to educate us on the animals and their efforts to keep them safe and healthy. My son was so thrilled to interact with these special animals and to get to know their personalities and preferences. We will absolutely be back. Diego’s cabin was the perfect size for us. Next time we come (and there will be a next time!) we will try the larger Florida Breeze cabin with more of our family to change things up! Thank you, Dona and family, for being so welcoming and accommodating. You seriously enriched my son’s experience and we appreciate what you’re doing for these amazing animals.

1 night at Jungle Oasis

A very lovely place with truly welcoming hosts. The room itself was neat, clean, and very comfortable to stay in. I especially enjoyed the wide variety of animals — it was such a delightful surprise! I was particularly impressed by the parrot that dances so charmingly. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to treat themselves and their family to a unique experience with animals.

Everything was fantastic. The accommodation was exceptional and better then we expected. They had Everything we needed and more! Duck haven was immaculately clean. We expected to hear the animals and that they could wake us up but that'd isn't happen! Dona couldn't have been nicer to deal with. We highly recommend!!!

Weekend Trip to Camp Margaritaville Auburndale

The cabana was clean, modern and comfortable, perfect for a weekend getaway. It was also stocked with all of the essentials. There were two pools, and plenty of hosted activities throughout the day for kids. The live music was also a nice touch. You have everything onsite - basketball court, volleyball, yard games, bars, restaurants, and a store, but also just a short drive to nearby restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a fun, stress-free retreat with a touch of comfort!
