Punta Gorda, FL · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Experience a side of Florida that’s becoming harder and harder to find. Nestled on 2 private acres along the historic Peace River, this peaceful getaway offers a rare blend of nature, privacy, and easy access to everything Southwest Florida has to offer.
Developed by the property owner over the years and located at the end of a quiet road, you'll be the only guest staying on a street with just one resident. Wake up to birdsong instead of traffic, spend your days fishing or kayaking directly from the backyard, and enjoy some of the darkest night skies on Florida’s Gulf Coast. With no streetlights nearby, the stars, moon, and peaceful sounds of nature take center stage.
The Peace River has long been known for world-class fishing, wildlife, and outdoor recreation. Local lore says even Ernest Hemingway traveled to this area in search of great fishing. Today, visitors come for the same timeless Florida experience—river adventures, hunting opportunities, wildlife viewing, and the relaxed pace of life that has largely disappeared elsewhere.
Despite the secluded setting, you're just minutes from modern conveniences. Downtown Punta Gorda is only 8 miles away, while Interstate 75 is about 5 miles from the property, making it easy to explore nearby beaches, waterfront restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and destinations like Venice, Englewood, and Naples.
Hosted by a retired businessman, sailor, and photographer who fell in love with the area's natural beauty, this property offers a genuine glimpse into what many call the "last Old Florida" on this stretch of coast. Think small-town charm, friendly locals, little traffic, and a slower pace of life reminiscent of a simpler era.
Whether you're looking to fish, paddle the river, explore Southwest Florida, or simply relax beneath a sky full of stars, this peaceful riverside retreat is the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with nature.

Gulf Coast camping guide
Where to go
The Florida Panhandle
The northwesternmost section of the Gulf Coast, this region offers a great mix of sandy beaches, marshes, and cultural attractions. Spots worth checking out include Big Lagoon State Park in Pensacola and Grayton Beach State Park in Santa Rosa, which offers easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and to a massive lake. Other popular spots in this region include St. Andrews State Park, where you can camp near the beach, and St. George Island, a sandy isle just off the coast of historic Carrabelle.
North Florida
Many of the less-developed beaches on the Gulf Coast can be found along its northern reaches, and much of this part of the state is preserved and protected by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's wildlife management area program. The area is also a great place to spot manatees, especially in spots such as the aptly named Manatee Springs State Park.
Central Florida
The central part of the Gulf Coast gets plenty of tourists, particularly in popular cities such as Tampa and Sarasota. Fort Myers is another hot spot, providing easy access to beautiful natural areas such as the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve and the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.
South Florida and the Keys
You'll find some of the prettiest natural areas in the state at the southern end of Florida’s Gulf Coast, from the Cape Romano - Ten Thousand Islands Aquatic Preserve near Naples to the massive Everglades National Park. At the far end of the state, the Florida Keys feature a mix of developed areas and protected natural spots, including the Great Heron National Wildlife Reserve, where sea birds and turtles flock en masse, to the National Key Deer Refuge which, as the name suggests, protects endemic Key deer.
