Gorgeous, tucked away camping area. We had a great stay near the pond and were able to see two small alligators. Quiet and peaceful at night. Lots of beautiful birds during the day. We’d definitely stay again!

My second time staying here and I’ll definitely be back again! Had no issue getting my 31’ class A into and out of the spot, and great location near all the stores and beaches not too far too.

Great spot. Plenty of room for my 31ft Class A. No issue with 50a electrical, sewer, or water. Cute little Florida HOA community. Didn’t use the pool or other facilities but they looked like they’d be nice too. The last few hundred feet of the drive is definitely tight but just take it slow and it’ll be fine.

My wife and I were there for a few hours, unfortunately there was a brush fire that was a bit too close for comfort (wife is from Fire country out west). Amanda was very helpful getting info about the fire. Richard is onsite and is a hell of a nice guy, gave us some fruit and fishing advice about the pond on site. It’s remote and very quiet with some good fishing. Would recommend.

This place was awesome! Very unique off grid camping spot beside a lake full of fish and a baby gator. We tent camped here for 3 nights between the fruit trees and I wish we had stayed longer! Richard was kind and helpful and checked in on us a few times gifting us some fresh produce. Very cool spot for stargazing or birdwatching. If you love the real Florida in all it's glory you will love it here. The generator powered hot water for a shower and flushing toilets made it a luxurious camping spot as opposed to a primitive campsite. Chickens were really cute. Some people in their reviews complained about the rooster but if you are used to farm life it does not make any difference to hear the rooster crowing. Lots of wildlife to see and hear throughout the day and night. Very close to Big Cypress Forest and the Everglades both beautiful see them while you still can! Overall a great spot would love to come back in the future.

Finally a really QUIET place to pitch your tent. Make a fire, admire the stars, enjoy the birds. Beautiful central space. With kitchen. Plenty hot water. Limited electricity (generator), no drinking water. 4 miles dirt road to get there, so bring everything you need with you. Great place if you can live with the minor points mentioned. Recommended !

I sadly didn’t get to stay here, although we did see the site and it looked so lovely by the shady pond. The host had sent some vital check in information through a message on the app, but not included those details in the check in information. As we didn’t have much reception when traveling I had screenshot the check in instructions before she sent the other message. She was very kind to refund us and understanding to the mix up. I would attempt to stay here again when in the area and she said she would update the check in information so hopefully no future confusions. It is a bumpy 2 mile dirt road. Copy and paste the actual address instead of clicking on the app to bring up directions. That took us another 4 extra miles around our elbows on said bumpy road. Good luck and enjoy!

This is a nice quiet campground a little off the beaten path but still close location for exploring the surrounding big cypress and everglades. It is not a bad price for the area (naples camping/hotels are very expensive). We tent camped 3 nights here and next time would be interested to stay in the bungalow!

Great spot - far enough away to enjoy the stars at night but close enough to Marco & Naples for easy day trips. The amenities (screened area, grills, shower & toilets were well designed. We found the site private & peaceful after long days of exploring the area.

Plenty of options for setting up camp. The property was wonderfully serene in its setting. Have to turn on the generator before showering but the facilities in the building with the screen porch were excellent. It was a real pleasure meeting and talking to the gentleman host on site. Overall, it was an excellent overnight stay and I would definitely stay there again when we are in the area.

This site was kind of off the grid with amenities which was right up my alley. Amanda was helpful and friendly. Richard was the same and brought fresh fruit and veggies around every day which i enjoyed to no end. I caught a few fish in the pond and had great time !

Has a great time camping here. Would highly recommend booking a tent site. We build a fire pit and cooked our meals on the open fire. We gathered firewood from the road outside the property. The lack of light pollution was wonderful. Got to see the stars and several planets. The property manager was wonderful. He gave us fresh fruit to snack on. The property is very close to Picayune Strand where we hiked the 5 mile figure 8. They have a generator to run the water for showering and lights in the kitchen and bathroom. But I really enjoyed trying to be completely off grid. I would definitely book this site again.

We really enjoyed our visit. Beautiful facility with full amenities, restroom, shower, grill, kitchen beside a pond with local critters to entertain. Amanda, Terry and Richard were gracious and welcoming with entertaining stories, history of the area and recommended nearby locations to visit. Nearby fruit stand great stop for local fresh product. If your a mountain bike enthusiast the near by limestone loop is awesome. Terry recommended it and explained it was planned to be one of the largest suburb east of the Mississippi River until the state bought it back to preserve the land. Had a blast riding for hours. Will plan to visit again, thanks for the hospitality.
