The best farm glamping near Dunedin, Florida

Dunedin may border the Gulf Coast, but it sits at the center of Florida’s action, with Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg all within reach. Start your Dunedin camping trip with a leisurely stroll downtown before you make your way to the scenic St. Joseph Sound. Check in to a beachfront RV campsite overlooking the Gulf of Mexico or a family-friendly camping resort along one of the area’s trademark lakes. If you’d rather maximize your time on land, linger instead in an A-frame surrounded by Dunedin’s signature pine trees. With so many landscapes in one area, Dunedin warrants more than just a detour.

The pond is Spring-fed at the headwaters of Marsh Branch Creek which begins at our property and flows West about five miles in to Tampa Bay.

Until you see it - you really may not understand. Parts of property are wide open, other areas are rugged and difficult to walk through including some wetland areas. The nursery has plenty of trees, and some fields -the large pond is surrounded by cattails and marsh/wetlands and has fish (Bass, Tilapia, Sunfish, Catfish). Several species of wildlife have been seen on the property. We think the property is lovely, and definitely want you to enjoy your camping experience!

Weekend Trip to The Olive Grove Cabin Tent

The cute A-Frame was just the right size for a romantic getaway for two. The fire is a safe but cozy distance from the cabin, and the kitchen is well equipped and easy to use for people who are used to roughing it!

Weekend Trip to The Olive Grove Cabin Tent

We absolutely loved our stay at the Olive Grove! Only about 10 min away from the Weeki Wachee Springs and the mermaid shows, 5 min away to stores and restaurants, yet - we felt in the country and in the nature. The A-frame experience is one of a kind - watching the fire from the bed was phenomenal! The host was very attentive, responsive and helpful. Free gift of eggs, oil and coffee was a lovely touch. Thank you so much.

Weekend Trip to The Olive Grove Cabin Tent

This was such a nice place, and super clean. We were definitely over packed. Deirdre's place is fully equipped with just about everything you need. Just bring your food. If you don't want to cook, there are plenty of restaurants nearby and Walmart, etc. All within a short drive. It was very hot while we were there so we didn't get to open the side but the A-frame was cool and dry with the AC running. Appreciated the welcome pack and the clean towels. Instead of coming home with a bunch of dirty dishes I washed everything before we left which makes coming home much easier. We want to go back when the weather gets cooler so we can open the hatch and enjoy a fire and stuff.

2 nights at The Olive Grove Cabin Tent

My 5 year old and I spent two nights in a canin and it was just so cozy and comfortable for us. The ducks and chickens were fun to feed and entertaining for my daughter. We enjoyed the pool; it was refreshing after a hot day out and about. The bathrooms and kitchen had all the amenities we needed, as did the cabin w a/c, a comfy bed, and even a tv (which we didn’t even use). We built a fire, made s’mores and enjoyed the beautiful olive orchard.

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.

Wow!! This was our last stop on a Florida roadtrip and I’m so glad we finished it off with this place. The cabin was clean, bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. Most importantly though, we had a tour done with Dona and got to meet all the animals! One of the highlights of our whole trip.

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

We loved our stay in the camper! The site is located on a farm which was really neat and we were able to see baby chickens and pet pigs! We stayed in a non-fruiting season (just missed starfruit) so we weren't able to get fruit but if you're lucky enough to stay when the trees are fruitful the owner was so kind to share! We slept soundly and accessed the farm by opening and closing the gates at the entrance was easy! There are so many fun things nearby, and not too far from downtown Tampa. Definitely would stay again!

The best farm glamping near Dunedin guide

Where to go

Honeymoon Island

Here’s a must-see for honeymooners—or any camper with a yen for hiking, birdwatching, swimming, and exploring. Sure, your Dunedin campsite may already feel like paradise, but Honeymoon Island State Park takes Florida’s beauty a step further. Scan the sky for eagles and osprey and the shore for seashells. You’ll start your Dunedin camping trip with more than just a glimpse of its water.

Caladesi Island

Once you’ve visited Honeymoon Island, take the ferry to Caladesi Island State Park. Only reachable by boat, the park rewards all campers who pay it a visit, so come prepared for a full day of fun in the sun. Aspiring mermaids can explore the pristine waters of paradise by kayak or canoe, while leisure-seekers can soak up island vibes directly from the shore.

All around the lakes

Freshwater lakes surface all over Dunedin, from the smaller lakes in and around the city, to the larger Lake Tarpon on the periphery. Settle into a lakefront RV campsite, and sip your morning coffee with a stunning view. Come sunset, crack open a beer and grab your fishing rod. If you catch a big enough bass, why not make your dinner—straight from your campsite with a grill?

When to go

So much of Dunedin’s charm is in its location, so plan your camping trip to maximize your time in the water. Florida’s heat rarely falters, though you’ll want to keep an eye on hurricane season, which runs from late June through November. While you can certainly camp year-round, swimmers, boaters, and snorkelers should plan accordingly. If you do camp during the rainier months, an RV campsite or log cabin with wifi will better cover your bases.
