Weekend Trip to Jack's Landing-Old Florida +Pool!

My first time doing hipcampers and it was perfect.Safety was my main concern but that concern was ease when I met Quintin and his wonderful wife. They are wonderful host. If your looking for a beautiful campsite for peace and quiet this is the place to go. I will be back to visit with Family and friends .🤗🥰

2 nights at Rasayana Cove

I wanted to take my mom who has cancer to a place where she could forget about her troubles. We were able to spend quality time together remember how healing it is to connect with nature. There was not much internet or cell service but it was exactly what we needed to disconnect from that world. This spot has everything needed to stay comfortable and relax.

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

We loved our stay in the camper! The site is located on a farm which was really neat and we were able to see baby chickens and pet pigs! We stayed in a non-fruiting season (just missed starfruit) so we weren't able to get fruit but if you're lucky enough to stay when the trees are fruitful the owner was so kind to share! We slept soundly and accessed the farm by opening and closing the gates at the entrance was easy! There are so many fun things nearby, and not too far from downtown Tampa. Definitely would stay again!

so peaceful & easy to find. beautiful place & kind host

Weekend Trip to Jack's Landing-Old Florida +Pool!

Wow! What an experience! The oak recolonization on this lakeside lot is so beautiful. The weather this time of year is perfect in the evening (though a bit warm in the day). You might not expect it, but despite all of the growth to the north along the I-4 corridor, it's pretty much dark-sky country to the south, so the stars can be beautiful; got some great pictures we wish we could post here. The neighborhood seemed mostly quiet, but there were a few "monster" trucks passing by on the road up the hill from time to time. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Camp Margaritaville Auburndale

My husband and I stayed here for our first RV trip and we loved it. Just one night while we drive up north. The place is super clean with beautiful plant gardens around each RV spot. The staff also welcomed us in the most friendly and professional way. We brought our two dogs and let them explore the dog park area too. We would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend the place to anyone else needing a nice place to stay for a night or many nights! :)

Weekend Trip to Rasayana Cove

Wow! What a hidden gem! This entirely off-the-grid cabin is perfect if you’re looking to disconnect from the world. This beautiful cabin is nestled amongst the oak trees which provide plenty of shade. The property is surrounded by open prairies and cattle fields and it was so nice to wake up to the sounds of the cattle nearby. There is a creek that runs along the property, which makes for a nice evening stroll. Once the sun goes down, the forest comes alive and you can hear the owls calling out to eachother. Although this cabin is off-grid, I found the camping stove easy to use and was happy to see that basic cooking wares were provided. The host, Dennis, was kind and easy to communicate with. I appreciated that he came by the day of our arrival to make sure we were settling in ok. I look forward to coming back again in the cooler months and would definitely recommend this place!

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

We had the most amazing visit. Having my daughter get to see all the animals and fruit plants and trees. Sit by the lake and see bee hives! Definitely coming back!

6 nights at By the Pond...

It's a fantastic spot. If you're looking for a central Florida type of get away you'll be hard pressed to beat this place. It's quiet, peaceful, birds galore. We spent 7 days here and I could easily spend 7 more. The hosts were great, they basically left us alone (in the best way, they were very attentive, friendly, and helpful). We traveled during spring break and had a beautiful site next to the pond. There's plenty of grocery and other types of stores within a few miles if you need anything but you'd never know it while sitting on site, it's very secluded and private. We'll be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

Very relaxing atmosphere with indigenous vegetation next to a nice size lake for fishing. Host hospitality is off the charts. Place has a welcoming , relaxed vibe. Perfect for a truck bed tent. My son and I enjoyed our stay & plan to be back soon!

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

It's on a beautiful spring-fed lake. Campsites are spread out, so very peaceful and a very attentive host. You feel like you're far away from it all, yet it's very handy to everything if you need groceries, camp supplies or even a meal in a restaurant. A great getaway.

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

Mike is such a great host and very attentive. I appreciate your help and guidance and we enjoyed our stay. The camper had everything our family needed and we plan on returning

1 night at By the Pond...

My family of four spent one night tent camping and had a great stay! Campsite 3 was tucked away from the other sites with plenty of room, close to the toilets and potable water. Mike was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We’ll be sure to go back when the mangoes are in season!

2 nights at The Bougainvillea Glamping Tent

We had a great time, the glamping tent was beautiful, clean and exceeded our expectations. Totally private with the lush foliage surrounding us. Definitely recommend:)

We went on a hike and fell in love with the beautiful bald cypress trees and roots

1 night at Rasayana Cove

My wife and I had a great little getaway here for 1 night. We enjoyed walking around the property and checking out Horse Creek. Also enjoyed chatting with Dennis.

4 nights at By the Pond...

Cool funky farm!! We enjoyed our host and the location!

8 nights at By the Pond...

Mike was a very helpful host while we made our arrival plans and also during our stay. We picked an out of the way site with lots of surrounding plants. There are also wide open spaces for groups. A hurricane has left some damage to trees, fences and other items throughout the farm. They are in the process of replanting bananas and mangoes, and have just purchased some baby chicks to restock their flock.

Weekend Trip to Rasayana Cove

Dennis is an amazing host, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The property is absolutely stunning, a wonderful get away to old Florida. The cabin is spacious with plenty of room for little campers. My husband and I spent our birthday there with our ten month old and had a wonderful time.

Weekend Trip to Oak Hammock Resort

Loved our experience at Oak Hammock Resort. Well maintained, good space and very peaceful. The camp also has great access and views of Lake Pierce. Will definitely return.
