Tarpon Springs Suites is beautifully landscaped to bring the charm of the Florida Keys to your stay. Our property and residences are meticulously maintained, ensuring a peaceful and comfortable retreat. While the beach is just a short distance away, you’ll feel like you’re already there. A unique historical fact: Tarpon Springs Suites and the surrounding neighborhood sit on the site of the old Tarpon Zoo. As you explore the area, you might spot remnants from this hidden piece of local history. Tarpon Springs is rich in culture and home to many landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places. The famous Sponge Docks and adjacent Greek community offer an authentic experience, with residents proudly preserving their heritage. Festivals, religious celebrations such as Epiphany, and cultural events are open to all. There’s no shortage of attractions—visit the Tarpon Springs Aquarium, Suncoast Primate Sanctuary, museums, theaters, art and music festivals, microbreweries, and pristine beaches. Outdoor lovers can enjoy waterside parks, salt and freshwater boat ramps, and the Pinellas Trail, just blocks away. This scenic trail runs from Tarpon Springs to St. Pete, offering an all-day adventure filled with shops, restaurants, and beautiful landscapes. If you prefer a relaxed ride, take the Trolley, which stops at popular destinations, including the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and the award-winning Clearwater and St. Pete Beaches. The private, fenced RV space features a 12' wide gated entry, accommodating a 45' motorhome, fifth wheel, or travel trailer. The parking area is made of limestone and crushed shell, providing a stable and level surface. Full hookups include sewer, potable water, and a 50 Amp RV receptacle with a breaker. If your rig doesn’t support 50 Amp service, adapters are available at Walmart (across the street) or Camping World (nearby)—please review photos of the receptacle to ensure compatibility. You’ll share a beautiful common area with guests of four spacious, pet-friendly 2BD/1BA apartments. The landscaped grounds feature a large picnic table, chaise lounges, tables, chairs, and a grilling area, perfect for socializing or unwinding. A large oak tree provides ample shade, creating a serene spot to relax and enjoy the Florida sunshine.

5. Spotted Dance Ranch

36mi from Elfers · 7 sites · Tents, RVs · Brooksville, FL

We opened to the public on Labor Day 2014. Most people come to stay either in our rental cottage or in their horse trailers/RVs with their horses to ride the awesome trails in the 20,000+ acre adjacent Croom Forest. However, because our ranch is so peaceful, many stay here without horses just to enjoy the peace and quiet. There are many opportunities to recreate in the area, including outstanding mountain and road biking, OHVing, hiking, golfing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many full-time and working RVers stay for extended periods. Note that our camping area is small and intimate, so you will be close to other campers. We have 5 30-amp hookups, and 2 50-amp hookups; if you need 50-amp service, please request it. Note that a minimum of a 2-night stay will typically be required on weekends, especially during our busy season. WiFi is available, but we call it "Country WiFi" since it sometimes can be slow and may or may not be accessible from where you are parked; also, Verizon cell service in our area is terrible. If internet access is important to you, we suggest having your own hotspot or internet service (many working RVers have Starlink). Note that GPS can be very mean in our rural area; make sure your turn off Highway 50 is onto paved High Corner Road, which is 2 miles west of I-75 (if GPS tries to turn you down unpaved, dead-end roads, DO NOT LISTEN..you will get stuck!).

We loved camping at Chuong’s land. Our travel trailer fitted perfectly with enough room to walk around comfortably. Location is super convenient. Only minutes away from the Sponges deck, Starbucks, Pharmacy, Publix., Panera! Quiet and Cozy. Access to the electricity, water and sewer super convenient as well. Place is so clean that it gives you a beach vibe. Loved it!

We can’t wait to go back to Spotted Dance Ranch! Kym approved us quickly and was very communicative regarding directions, offered info on nearest grocery, restaurants and more. (It was easy to get in and out thanks to following host directions vs gps.) John was super helpful and answered all of our questions upon arrival as well. Leveling and set up was a breeze. Everything was well maintained and cared for. Our dogs enjoyed stretching their legs on the property after our dog show. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere after a hectic day too. 1000% would stay again, but next time we hope to stay longer so we have time to meet the horses. Don’t hesitate if you are considering booking here. It’s a great place to stay! John & Kym are wonderful hosts with a lovely ranch.

Such a great spot! Clean, level gravel pad tucked behind a privacy fence with lots of room to spread out (not around the camper since it’s tight on the sides) and super cute seating areas with grill. We felt very safe and secluded even being a block away from a busy area. Host was very accommodating and quick to respond!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Citrus Acres RV Resort

Super bougie spot to Hipcamp! Not sure they understand the nature of Hipcamp yet - very new. We were the only pop up travel trailer. This is more of a RV park. Amenities are amazing. Guests very welcoming. No communication with host via Hipcamp once booked - did not know which site was ours, the gate code, etc. Happened to run into a guest who once worked the office and she helped us.

Weekend Trip to Sportsman’s Retreat

Wow! What a wonderful get away! Sharon was a great hostess !!!! Very responsive. She made sure things went very smoothly. Check in was soo easy. Sportsman retreat was close to town if you wanted to eat at a restaurant or if you needed anything.....but you were out in the country and could relax & enjoy nature. My dogs loved being able to run & play. It had full hook ups. Couldn't ask for anything more. Great experience!!!!!!

We booked this site on HipCamp and were very pleasantly surprised. The check in wasn't exactly smooth as after we booked (office had closed) we weren't given a code to get through the gate. We had to wait there and finally got someone on the video at the gate and he came and opened it (very doubtingly....we should have gotten a code...we explained we didn't get a code but had our receipt!) Anyway, after that little fiasco they pulled us into a beautiful site and the park is truly beautiful and pristine! The laundry facilities are immaculate and so are the sites. We only stayed one night but would sure come back!

Our 2nd visit, and, again, it was fabulous. John and Kym are great hosts... John met us and helped to park and set up. We were on the end closest to the road, and the view is magnificent (very rural with maybe 5-6 cars a day). The layout was well thought out with hookups and paddocks, with large water buckets... and CLEAN, very well maintained. 10 minutes to Winn-Dixie, restaurants, gas. 15-20 minutes to Brooksville with everything you might need. We love it there!
