🚗 Two miles (5min drive) from downtown Sarasota
🌴 Old-Florida charm: lots of lush tropical greenery
🚣🏼♂️ On Whitaker’s Bayou.
🌟 It’s the best of both worlds: peaceful nature on the creek, and easy access to all the best restaurants, beaches, and charming Main St atmosphere.
💩 MUST have a bathroom on-board. No sewer hookup
💦 No water hookup, but you may fill your water tank with the hose
⚡️ 15amp & 30 amp plug ins. BYO adapter. Extension cord needed to reach the plug.
🏕️ No long term campers. No tent camping.
🚴🏼 Biking to Main St takes 8-10minutes if you have bicycles!
🏖️ Ten minute drive from St-Armands Circle and Lido Beach; 20-25 minute drive from Siesta Key Beach.
The Bayou goes all the way out to the Gulf - we see large schools of mullet here, occasionally turtles, hawks, and herons. If you are lucky, you might see a manatee or an otter!
We have a 36” campfire pit you are welcome to use. We are still working on getting seating for the campfire pit, but if you have camping chairs, it’s perfect!
We have an amazing location to share AND we also have neighbors to the left, and across the creek. We value and respect them. We wish to share our space with quiet and mindful campers.
The property is 0.5 acre. You will be parking in part of the yard, under the shade of one of the oaks, slightly tucked back away from the house. We can be available to help/welcome you, and offer local guidance if you like.
**A sweet but fearful rescue dog lives here and we are not allowing any other animals to camp or stay on the property.** NO DOGS WHATSOEVER. You will be made to leave if you violate this condition.
***Our acceptance rate is lower because people with dogs, 5 people in their party, or no onboard facility of their own submit booking requests, which we must decline.

Welcome to the "Wild and Scenic Myakka River"!
Our 20 acre ranch has everything from Longhorn cattle, to a white sand beach. We like to say our sand is like Siesta Key, except it's...in a swamp. Our property is not too far upstream from the Myakka State park, and parking is never a problem. ;-)
We have a beautiful homestead, and you have the choice of a furnished camper with water and power hookups in our pasture, or 2 primative tent or RV spots on the edge of a beautiful stand of Live Oak trees and Sabal palms along the river.
We have a porta potty on site that is regularly maintained.
Bring your family, bring your dog, bring your friends.....and don't forget to bring a fishing pole!

Welcome to Tranquil Oaks near the Gulf Coast! Secluded camping only 5 minutes from Lake Manatee State Park. Enjoy beautiful sunsets, s'mores by the fire pit, and experience a slice of old Florida charm while being only 10 minutes from I-75 and 40 minutes from the world-renowned white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island.
Your site includes a large concrete patio with a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit. This secluded RV/tent campsite offers electric and you can fill up your water tank with our hose.
The site is located next to our cattle ranch, and you will likely see our sweet herd of cows grazing in a nearby pasture (some of the friendly ones may come up to the fence to say hi). This offers you privacy while still being close to I-75 and all the modern conveniences (Publix supermarket is 1 mile away).
We are third generation cattle ranchers here in beautiful Bradenton, Florida, and on our property you'll find many species of palm trees and tropical plants.
Mornings are filled with birdsong, and you may see Sandhill Cranes, Ospreys, White Ibis, or even a Roseate Spoonbill -- and of course the rabbits, lizards and monarch butterflies that also enjoy this special little slice of paradise.
We live in the house next door to the campsite, and you'll likely see Ryan around the property working during your stay.
Our ranch offers you a chance to relax and reconnect with nature, while only being minutes from restaurants and convenience stores; 15 minutes from University Town Center, 15 minutes from Ellenton Outlets, and 30 minutes to downtown Sarasota.

Rasayana Cove is a 25-acre eco-retreat located in the heartland of west central Florida. An hour's drive east of Sarasota surrounded by vast tracts of orange groves and ranch land, Rasayana Cove has been operating as a small retreat center since 1995. The long eastern boundary borders Horse Creek, a major tributary of the Peace River. The property features two spring-fed ponds - one small and the other large. The cabins are accessible by well constructed shell-topped roads with good drainage and a variety of nature pathways. A natural ecosystem remains undisturbed in the middle of the property - a Florida bay head of native flora and wildlife. While most of the state is crowded and overdeveloped, this eco-retreat offers a haven of peace in the pristine nature of Florida

I had been on the road for about 3 weeks and just really needed a place to chill for a few days and this was it! I definitely needed the electricity because it was so hot and muggy. The hosts were perfect, they introduced themselves, had suggested some places to eat, offered bug spray, and left me to do what I wanted. It was perfect!!!!! I am now restored and back at life again

The tiny a-frame was super cool. The bed is a little big for the space but super comfortable. Fridge, microwave, ice maker....all the conveniences of any other vrbo/airBnb, even a grill. The bathroom was super clean and convenient as was the outdoor shower. Way more decoration and landscaping than any other Hipcamp I've been to. Our dog was exhausted from chasing squirrels and running back and forth across the property all weekend.

I would rather not leave a review because I want this to not become too popular so I can have it more often. Stayed at the hideaway and we had a great time and it was very private and enjoyable. Did get rained out at night but that’s typical Florida this time of year. John is there if you need him but not hovering or anything. Peaceful well kept property with hammocks and docks and sitting areas to enjoy if you wish. Even a bar! Bring your own of course. We will be back and highly recommend it. Just don’t tell anyone!

Spacious site tucked away in the palmetto scrub. Nice vinyl picnic table and plenty of room for our big gazelle tent. I managed to get the canopy and tent set up before a downpour started.
The bathroom up at the house and outdoor shower were clean and everything worked great. The site is covered with tons of little inspirational signs and seating areas. Our dog was in heaven running off leash the whole weekend.
