46mi from Lakeland · 6 sites · Tents, RVs

Our RV and Tent Campsites are located in a grassy field next to dense woods. Electric and water hookups are included in the RV/Camper sites, but not the Tent Site. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Our newly renovated restrooms on the property have toilets and one shower. A boardwalk takes you along the Cotee River to our two open air pavilions with several places to sit and enjoy nature. Cell phone service is not a problem, as we are not remote (although it sort of feels like we are when you are here) - we are 5 min from downtown New Port Richey, 2 minutes from groceries, gas, restaurants. This beautiful slice of Old Florida is named for the Pithlachascotee River that bends along the back side of the property. Pithlo is the Creek word meaning canoe, and chaskita means to dig or chop out, together signifying "place where canoes are chopped or dug out". Seminoles of this area used canoes dug out from the great cypress trees found along Florida rivers. From the 1980s until 2014, this property was owned by the Cotee River Lions Club. They held a popular monthly pancake breakfast fundraiser in the large pavilion along the river. We purchased this 4.9 acres of land in late 2019. It is now where we live and have a woodworking shop. It has been a magical place for us, with no shortage of wildlife, rich jungle forest, a winding narrow river, and even the occasion river otter sighting. We are grateful to all the humans who have occupied this place over the centuries before us for keeping it as nature intended it. It is our intention to do our part to conserve and protect its natural beauty as long as possible. We hope you find it to be as restful and rejuvenating as we do.

My group of four people and three dogs went tent camping for 4 days over thanksgiving break. We including the dogs had an amazing time! We got to rent canoes and go up and down the river. We found so many shark teeth and after we rented the 4wheelers got to ride all the trails around the camp. April and Kendal were very responsive and kind they helped with anything we needed. The camp farm animals and dogs were a great addition we adored them the outdoor kitchen and very hot showers were amazing too it was an all around great trip!!!

5 nights at Cedarkirk Camp & Conf. Center

Highly recommend. Sites were well spaced out and clean. Bathrooms were well maintained and trash regularly emptied. Sites had electric and good water. Most sites had fire pits and there were group firepits and seating. The grounds were amazing. 170 acres with a lot of paths to explore. Very nice fresh spring fed creek with sandy bed which led to the Alaska River. Would definitely return and stay again.

Weekend Trip to Cedarkirk Camp & Conf. Center

My family and I LOVED tent camping at Cedarkirk’s land!! The hosts were super kind and accommodating. They let us switch from Site 2 to Site 3 which right next to each other since Site 3 was a little bigger than Site 2 plus Site 3 had a pre-made pit already which my husband and I wanted and liked. Site 2 had a grill to use though. The sites all had a water faucet thing which was so convenient. The sites are all pretty close together but even with that we still felt we had our privacy. The property was so beautiful and full of activities and trails. We did the Sands and Swamp Trail. We would have loved to do the kayaking/canoeing. Next time hopefully. We loved that the site had bathrooms and showers for use. The bathroom in relation to Site 3 was a short walk away. Not bad at all. I was able to quickly walk there with a toddler each time. The woods were super quiet at night to the point you can hear the trees whisper. This easily turned into our best camping trip yet and already said we’d come back!! We’re trying to get my mom and sister and her family to join us next year. Such a unique and good vibes spot. I will definitely recommend Cedarkirk to anybody! I’m thinking of different way this spot can be utilized.

Weekend Trip to Cedarkirk Camp & Conf. Center

Really nice campground. I didn’t explore much as I just needed a quiet place to tent camp overnight after a sport event, but it was perfect for me. Site was large, with two spigots, a big picnic table and grill. Bathroom was very clean and great water pressure in the shower! Would definitely stay here again.

Highly Highly recommend this place! The host are friendly and welcoming! The bathrooms are very nice and clean with a hot shower available in one. The land is absolutely beautiful and natural Florida! An absolute hidden treasure in New Port Richey!

Weekend Trip to Camp Champ

The campsites however primitive has some real nice extras, like cafe lights in the trees, near by bath house. A huge plus was bringing an extension cord to access electricity at a nearby cabin outlet. Also a great variety of livestock to watch for entertainment.

We really enjoyed this campground. Took advantage of the fresh eggs! We have a 12 foot travel trailer and it was easy to navigate through the property. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Wilderness Shores Ranch Campground!

This place is absolutely fantastic. The campsites are so well maintained, the scenery is incredible & Paul is the best (make sure you get to hear one of his jokes after you check in). There are beautiful longhorns roaming around the campsites and goats in a pen you can go feed. Oh and the bathrooms? Impeccable. So clean and very nice. Truly cannot recommend this place enough. We will be back!!!

We had an amazing time camping here for my husband's birthday 🎂 waking up to the animals in the morning was our daughters favorite part. Maisie is so lovable and sweet we can't wait to come back.

Great spot! Just 10 minutes from downtown and the pier. The location was super quiet, and we parked comfortably on their wide driveway—our van fit perfectly. No noise at all during the night, and hooking up to electricity was quick and easy. Highly recommend!
