40mi from Golden Gate · 3 sites · Tents, RVs · North Fort Myers, FL
Come enjoy a quiet getaway at Healing Tree Homestead. Our 5 acres is close enough to I-75 and in-town amenities to be convenient but far enough away to offer a peaceful rest from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tent site has a clear view of the large pond and property, and the RV site is tucked between a banana circle and the nursery. We’re a working homestead that’s constantly growing and changing, and there are sheep, goats, chickens, a dog, cats and a bunch of kiddos, but we all have our own spaces away from the RV and tent campsites. Part of the property is a nursery, part of it is a young orchard, and most of it is used to free range our livestock. We work and live on site. If you would like to participate in feeding animals, planting trees or helping us prepare garden beds, we’d welcome the company. *Please note that we live off a dirt road that’s very bumpy and rural.

Super cute little vintage camper! Their assortment of trees are beautiful and you MUST get a bottle of the cherry juice that they offer! Definitely bring some gallons of water because the well water smells like eggs. The pool is refreshing and the quietness is super pleasant 🌴 🧘🏼‍♀️

The property was nice and peaceful, many trees, we seen a baby gator. The camper was nice, dont let the outside fool you. It’s an older style camper. Many people on here complaining about bugs and how the property looked, but keep in mind you are camping at someone’s house and they have children. We are in southwest Florida so bugs and fire ants are expected. George was very responsive with questions. Thanks for allowing us to share your property for a night away

We had a wonderful two days camping. Our 4yr old loved the Zipline and farm animals. If you have an interest in foraging, homesteading, food forests etc this place is absolutely for you. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable while still being respectful of your space. We look forward to visiting again.

Katie has a peaceful property situated in a neighborhood. It’s surrounded by a high fence and feels very private. We were able to park our 27 ft travel trailer (full hookups being a huge plus) adjacent to her yard filled with beautiful plants, chickens, ducks, and rabbits all around. We had a funny orange tabby consistently visiting looking for some pets (and an occasional attempt to get into our camper). Overall, I recommend staying here with a smaller RV or tent IF you have any trouble backing a larger RV. It took a little bit of skill and a lot of patience to get it into the RV specific lot. BUT once we were in there we had a lovely stay.

Nice spot for two nights while visiting the area. The last mile is unpaved so we unhooked our tow when the pavement ended. It was a bit tight getting through the gate onto the property, but we were able to maneuver our 40ft class A in. The site was plenty big enough for our rig and truck. Would stay again if in the area.
