Heritage Village is in town filled with many hometown eateries and shoppes. It's a great way to spend the afternoon and explore Crystal River.
We have a variety of great one-of-a-kind eateries with many special events and festivals throughout the year.
Conveniently located at the end of the street is a Publix, DG, Mexican restaurant, Brother's Pizza and Beef O'Brady's.

We also have brochures on all kinds of other great places you'll want to experience while staying in beautiful Crystal River!
Oh, and don't forget to stop by Grandma's gift shop before you leave.

Lazy Longhorn is one of the best camping sites we have been too in a long time. From the animals to the amazing accomidations, you can tell the owners really care. A 5/5 experience and I can't wait to camp there again.

Cozy little rv spot. Being able to fish was nice (kind of hard to cast under the lights). Nice fire pit, ended up buying one for ourselves afterwards! Watch out for fire ants around the fire area though!

Weekend Trip to Happy Campers Rescue Ranch
Nice owner, quick responses, unique property!
Great value felt private despite the propertys main home & other campsites being nearby, some areas on the property could require four-wheel drive, make sure to communicate with the owner so you don't get stuck.
The camper while approaching it was small, but once inside found it to be roomier than expected, you need to find something this old, in good condition. Unexpected Plus the bed was very comfy!!

The owner was awesome. Camp site is pretty primitive but close by to all the places you want to be. Also got to say hello to the pigs. Having electricity was so helpful. I'd say its a good place to stay for a couple nights. Then you might start craving more of toilet. This one is a bucket literally lol.

Great spot in Old Homosassa- walking distance to yummy restaurants and stores. Along a busy road, but only noisy morning and evening. Owner was responsive and accommodating for a friend to share my space. Water and electric. Would definitely come back here!

Weekend Trip to Cabin Glamping
This spot was quick and easy for a camper. The bed was comfy, the outdoor shower was great. The tin roof made the rain loud and lovely. I enjoyed it. Not a fancy place but a kind and welcoming one was what I needed on my first day of the adventure.

Great site and great host. Kate was very responsive the entire time. We unfortunately didn’t have much time to explore all she had to offer. We wanted to kayak since her location was crystal clear, but we were scheduled up. Excited for the next time to be able to spend more time enjoying the area.
