Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Destination Sunset

Destination Sunset was the nicest Hip Camp we've visited. The grounds are beautiful with towering trees dripping with Spanish Moss. Watching the water was so peaceful and we saw dolphins and a flock of flamingos flew over our heads. Our pup.wqs in heaven with the ability to run free and swim. Tim was friendly and communication was great. Highly recommend!!

2 nights at The Griffin Ranch

What a wonderful place to escape to! Carl and Terri were super-welcoming and made us feel at home and relaxed. Beautiful grounds to walk on and I fed a couple of horses some apples, which made me feel happy! I sat and read on the porch and my husband went fishing nearby in Eureka. The cottage has everything you need, and we got a great gift basket for a birthday treat. Nice little market nearby was helpful.

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Pond and Woodlands

Such an amazing experience , I’ve heard t saying, “there’s no place like home “ this place is home away from home. My family and I enjoyed ever minute and will be returning.

Weekend Trip to The Griffin Ranch

Loved the space. I went for a quiet relaxing weekend to shut off from the world and that’s exactly what I did. The property was great, enjoyed quit walks along the lake with my dog and just sitting in rocking chair on front porch. Highly recommend.

6 nights at Corner Key Rest

Stephen has a very peaceful and tranquil camp set up. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and he was a most pleasant host. I would definitely recommend as it is very close to many things to explore.

14 nights at Celestial Acres

The property is picturesque! Loved it!!! Would definitely go back:)

2 nights at Wooded areas in a horse pasture

Gayle has a beautiful property with a pasture being used just for campers. There are firepits scattered around the large area. She welcomes guests to see the horses, chickens, cats and dogs, which roam the property. I would certainly bring earplugs, especially if you're in a tent as a loud train goes by a couple of times in the night. There is only one outhouse for all guests, which may not be enough if it gets busy. Expect rustic, but pretty with nice vibes.

4 nights at Celestial Acres

Moon is peaceful and quiet and Jennifer is quite friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.

3 nights at Wildflower Pond and Woodlands

Pileated Place was absolutely amazing and was a haven to relax in and slow down. I spent my birthday here with my sister, we stayed 3 nights and it was a blast. The shower, toilet, and sink are awesome perks. Plus there are fun springs and other attractions nearby!! I definitely recommend doing the farm tour with Allie at Five Hammocks Farm :)

1 night at Serene Forested Blueberry Farm

We absolutely loved our stay at the Little Lulu. The surrounding nature was peaceful and the amenities were amazing. We really enjoyed chatting with Cassandra and Walt, who are wonderful hosts. They set up the perfect campfire before arrival, and had everything we needed there for us. The two kitties, Cali the calico and Day-tripper the orange, kept us company all evening while we enjoyed hotdogs and s'mores under the canopy of stars. I highly recommend this stay, and would love to return in the future!

6 nights at Serene Forested Blueberry Farm

A beautiful place to visit. I'll definitely be going back!

Weekend Trip to Corner Key Rest

Such a great space with quiet and serene surroundings. Nice and private but close to Historic Downtown and everything you might want to do in St. Augustine. Plenty of room for our dog to run around and a great fire pit to enjoy in the evening. Stephen was fantastic! We were very very late and he still came out to meet us and help us get settled. We will absolutely be back to stay for our next visit!!

Weekend Trip to Lofton Retreat

Wonderful camping spot. Very private and peaceful. Owner's were wonderful, and supplied information of things to do in the area. Birds were amazing.

Weekend Trip to Wooded areas in a horse pasture

We tent camped on the pasture and loved it. There were several camper vans and one trailer that stayed there as well, but there was plenty of space to spread out and have privacy. The shower was surprisingly hot and had great water pressure. The animals are very friendly, several horses, dogs, and cats roaming. One of the dogs, MaeMae, joined us for breakfast every morning we were there. She was so sweet. Just watch out for fire ants!

Weekend Trip to Wooded areas in a horse pasture

We camped in a van and it was very quiet-slight hums of airplanes in the afternoon and very faint sounds of the gun range in the morning. Nothing to worry about if you are a light sleeper. (This is regarding the review that complained about the noise. ). Also, it did not smell like a farm. 😊 Gayle was quick to respond and we enjoyed our stay

Weekend Trip to Serene Forested Blueberry Farm

Wooded areas in a horse pasture

10 sites · RVs, Tents8 acres · St. Augustine, FL

Campsites are on a small horse farm located just 4 miles from downtown St Augustine and 5 miles from Vilano Beach. Many hiking and water activities within 30 minutes. You select the space you where you wish to set up camp. The entrance off the dirt road is tricky for large rigs or trailers more than 35' may not have easy access. Our sites offer potable water, a shower, picnic tables, a toilet, wifi, trash disposal, space for campfires, and we are pet friendly! We can accommodate tents, RVs, and trailers. Our guests love staying here: "Camping at Gayle’s property was an amazing experience. We shared the field with 3 other campers but there was still plenty of room between sites. Land is flat and has fire pit spaces and BBQ grills. Outdoor shower was appreciated even though we didn’t use it & it was great to have the port-o-potty on site. The best part was getting to see the animals!"

Celestial Acres

6 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Hastings, FL

Welcome to our little homestead. Nestled amidst the serene countryside, this quaint campground offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounded by lush farms and sprawling horse pastures, the air is filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers and the gentle rustle of leaves. With only a handful of RV spots and a few cozy tents scattered among the trees, guests can truly reconnect with nature while roasting marshmallows over crackling campfires under a blanket of stars. Here, the pace slows down, allowing visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the simple pleasures of rural life. We just finished (well 2 years ago) traveling the country in an RV with five of our 7 kids (oldest two were in college) and we had a terrible time finding places to stay in Saint Augustine when we came home to visit. I hope that we can offer some nice people a safe and beautiful place to park their rig. Things to do: The property is near the historic St. Augustine, a fun walkable/bikeable city, lots of state parks and of course an awesome beach! Other things to note: 6 Miles away is 4 Lakes Campground with dumping facilities
