We reserved the drive in movie spot but did not watch any movies. Good site, level and dry next to the river. Kyle was nice guy and good host, his partner, Dee, was lovely. Plenty of kayaks (tandem) and paddle boards for guests. The river is very nice, mellow and slow moving. Overall a great site.

1 night at SWFL Everglades Camping

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.

1 night at J and P Creekside Retreat

The A frame cabin at J&P Creekside is the perfect retreat! It is decorated with cozy furnishings that exude country warmth and hospitality! The king size bed is super comfortable and the cabin has a/c and a mini fridge and ice maker. There is a cute bathroom next to the cabin with a toilet and sink and ample room, also decorated with country charm. An outdoor shower is only a minute walk away and it is the perfect camping shower! If you are looking for a comfortable retreat in the woods, check this Aframe retreat out! This place is truly a little slice of sweet paradise!

1 night at J and P Creekside Retreat

I absolutely loved this place and highly recommend. The location was secluded with lots of privacy. Lots of trees. Definately made you feel you were in the woods. The whole layout of the property was beautiful especially at night with lighted areas where you will find a shower and a real bathroom. The campsite had everything you'd need including hammock and power. Firewood is available. Located right by a beatiful creek with very reasonable kayak rentals. The host was so accomondating and goes way above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful stay. This place is a hidden gem. You will not be disappointed.

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Bell Oaks Ranch is a wonderful place! If you want to spend some quiet weekends with R & R, or bring friends to enjoy a night of fun, sharing stories around the campfire while making s’mores, grilling hotdogs and making popcorns and lots of awesome reasons why we choose to go camping, consider Bell Oaks Ranch. We met the horses and they’re adorable!! Our camphost, Taylor was very helpful. Glad to see her again after many years! ❤️ We loved our site and we got to meet our friendly RV neighbors from Canada. It was fun walking at historic Dearborn and looking at amazing works by our Florida artists. Manasota Bay is beautiful! This is our 1st booking at HipCamp and it’s a great experience.

Orange River Getaway

4 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Fort Myers, FL

Welcome to our 5 acre property tucked away in Buckingham Rural Community. You will have direct river access! My family fell in love with this property when we rescued it from disrepair, it was once known as "Harmony Gardens" and we invite you to join us bringing back the glory. Our property is home to all kinds of wildlife, we have cardinals, bluejays, barred owls, herons, swallow-tailed kites, warblers, huge pileated woodpeckers, and if you wander to the water you may see an alligator or manatee depending on the season. Orange River is the river that passes through the highly rated Manatee Park, we have kayaks and paddleboards available for your pleasure at an additional cost. We have typical comfort restaurants such as Cracker Barrel and Waffle house nearby but I would suggest local flavors of Buckingham Farms and Rum Bucket Grill. I-75 is about 10 minutes away so although we are tucked away, most of FL isnt too far for a day's trip.
