Hidden area off the primary roads with natural, tree-covered spaces. Wildlife—such as deer, rabbits, hawks, and more—can often be seen. Beaches, Busch Gardens, Weeki Wachee, shopping, and more are all within 30 minutes.
Deer sometimes roam right through the property. If you’re looking for an off-the-grid stop, this is a great spot. Please note: RVs and travel trailers are limited to 25 ft max due to the turning radius into the property.
We offer several full hookups with water, electric, sewer, and Wi-Fi. (If you’re pulling a travel trailer, it cannot exceed 30 ft in length due to the street access and turning radius.)
Within walking distance, you’ll also find a county park with a children’s playground, basketball court, and covered pavilion.

This is a perfect place for being close to the island without paying island money. Emilie greeted us when we first came in, and then left us alone for the rest of the stay. Her place is very peaceful, it's a dead end so very few cars driveby. The spot was nice and shaded, we stayed a week and I would definitely stay again.

In the middle of suburbia but feels like you're in the forest. Very private and quiet. Just what I like. Ken is a gracious host.

It was the first experience for my wife and myself with Hipcamp and we really enjoyed staying at Emily’s place. This is great place to stay at for short and longer time. Emily is a very nice and helpful person. She advised us places to eat and explore around in Cortez. The lot was equipped for all hook ups and we could easily get power and fresh water for our motorhome. Truly recommend this place!

2 nights at Homosassa Springs RV Site
Very nice setup. Close to the springs, restaurants and shopping if needed. Dock area is very nice. Comfy chairs and a table. The water is crystal clear so you can see all of the varieties of fish. Didn’t see any manatees at this spot as the weather is warming up. Kayaks and paddle boards are available and in good shape. The site itself is large with a nice table setup, solo fireplace and hookups. Site is level which is nice. Only met Alonda once as we pulled in but we had no issues so there was no need to bother her. The resident dog Jazzie, was friendly with my dog and she was very sweet. Excellent experience overall.

Loved every thing about this spot- serenity quiet & peaceful neighborhood, only a few steps to great paddling on the springs with a dock for our use, Homosassa River and manatees galore! Easy bike ride to Old Homasassa, close to grocery store, Walmart and great seafood market! Our host, Alonda was accessible and polite!

We had such a wonderful time at Kate’s campsite. Highlights: easy to find. Shore power was easy to hook up too. Fire wood available for a small fee. It felt private. The springs were absolutely amazing. We saw manatees ❤️. Please note they do not have a bathroom. We were camping in a small van, and used a portable toilet set up. The space was private enough that we felt comfortable using it outside the van and without a tent. I really hope we get to return to Kate’s space.

The, area was very quiet. We really enjoyed it. Felt very much like the Florida that you don’t see when you’re a tourist. Large trees, hanging moss lots of foliage. The lot was level, had everything for hookups. Remember to bring your 50 to 30 amp reducer. The water was clear, we used the kayak and went for a beautiful day on the water.

We had an amazing weekend at this Hipcamp. Kate was the absolute best—super communicative and helpful from start to finish. The site was exactly as expected: private, jungle-like, and a great place to unwind. We had fun exploring the property and finding Pepper Trail, which was a nice bonus.
The highlight of the trip was kayaking with the manatees—an unforgettable experience.
One note for RVers: if your rig (or Travel Trailer) is longer than 25 feet, you may need to back in from the road. Our truck couldn’t quite make the turn, but backing in was easy and not an issue at all.
Overall, a fantastic stay. We’d absolutely come back again.

The hosts created a peaceful HipCamp experience. The site was level and fairly secluded. We had access to the dock where I was able to have my morning coffee and just chill. The site is just minutes away from the State Park with Manatee viewings and a nice walking trail. There are also several bike trails all within 30 minutes (would recommend the Withlacoochee Trail just north of Crystal Springs - paved with areas to stop and picnic).

We couldn’t recommend this spot more! Such a hidden gem of a location, right in the spring with manatees just outside the launch point. The host is very responsive and everything in the listing was accurate. We have a 30ft travel trailer and it took us a bit to get turned around in the driveway, but honestly we’ve done worse. Just take your time with it and you’ll be fine. Everything was perfect, we can’t wait to come back. Love that a fire pit and wood is available for a fee, hopefully we can use it next time when there’s no fire ban going on. Thank you for sharing your incredible property with us!!
