Welcome to Sandy Bottom River Retreat – Your Private Escape into Nature’s Serenity
Discover the perfect blend of peace, adventure, and natural beauty at Sandy Bottom River Retreat. Tucked away in the heart of Wimauma’s untouched wilderness, this secluded hideaway offers private river access and a truly off-the-grid camping experience surrounded by towering pines, lush palmettos, and the soothing sounds of the great outdoors.
Enjoy a refreshing dip, launch your kayak or tube, or simply unwind along the golden sandy riverbank where the water sparkles knee-deep and crystal clear. Wildlife enthusiasts will love spotting deer, rabbits, otters, and a colorful array of native birds that make this retreat their home.
While you’ll feel miles away from everything, modern conveniences are just minutes away—restaurants, shops, and deliveries from Walmart, Instacart, or Amazon can reach you in no time. Two of our campsites sit directly on the river, while the others are a short, scenic walk away.
Please note that this is a rustic, amenity-free experience designed for true nature lovers. The area is rural and neighbors may occasionally ride ATVs or enjoy target practice on their own land. For safety and peace of mind, outdoor cameras are placed around the property to help ensure the protection of our guests and the land.
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for hunting, shooting, or archery on site to preserve the peaceful environment for all.
Looking for a private event booking or clothing-optional friendly stay? Contact us in advance to reserve one of our coveted riverfront sites or inquire about exclusive property rentals.
Come reconnect with nature, recharge your spirit, and experience camping the way it was meant to be—wild, beautiful, and unforgettable.

Awesome yurt! Great experience. Loved it! Located in town, easy to get around. Not very private as it is super close to the homeowners house and right in town but we still enjoyed our stay.

Kelli’s land truly exceeded my expectations. What stood out the most was how peaceful and spacious everything felt. The little house and the entire property have beautiful details that reflect so much love in every corner. Each outdoor space welcomed me with a deep sense of peace, connection to nature, and the silence I was looking for.
Kelli was incredibly kind and attentive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable. And the fresh eggs she brought us were absolutely delicious.
If you’re seeking a serene, nature-filled place with a thoughtful and caring host, this is the perfect spot.

1 night at Yurt Glamping Nature in the City
We loved our stay at Ellen’s yoga yurt! It was better than I even could have expected, and was such the perfect little spiritual retreat. We opted to add on the Kundalini Yoga and Sound Bath experiences and are SO happy that we did. These are the kind of experiences you usually have to travel out of the country for. I truly loved the design and the decorations, and especially all of the sound bowls and instruments I got to play with while I was there. The gong and the rain stick were a few of my favorites. The tree house was another super fun addition, and climbing up into it took me back to my childhood. It was truly magical and I can’t wait to come back again. Thank you, Ellen 🙏🏼🧘🏼♀️🕉️

Great accommodations for our weekend getaway! Host was very quick to respond and helpful with everything. The yurt was a very peaceful place while it rained on us and the sound bath crystal bowls were a soothing way for relaxing. All around wonderful place to stay and would highly recommend for others looking for a Tampa area retreat.

Weekend Trip to Yurt Glamping Nature in the City
Staying at this property was just what was needed for the weekend. Local to the area, but it still felt like a perfect “getaway” being in the yurt. Ellen was a fantastic host. We were excited to learn about the breathwork and sound bath she offers. We will definitely be back to enjoy an escape from the routine of life :)

Weekend Trip to N N Farms
We had a fantastic time staying at this lovely tony house as our base for a weekend of camping and adventures. We loved that we could enjoy the wilderness during the day and return to exactly what we needed to relax after a long day outdoors. A wonderful firepit and beautiful sunsets.
The property was clean, comfortable, and the host Kelli was easy to communicate with. Lots of privacy. We had a blast feeding the goats in the property. I would highly recommend staying here. I surely will be on my next trip to Arcadia!

Weekend Trip to Yurt Glamping Nature in the City
Yurt was bigger than I expected! I went there to meditate, do yoga, enjoy a sound bath and ground. The yurt has magical energy and I really enjoyed my experience. A short walk to the bathroom is a great city glamping experience. Excellent for yoga & meditation retreats the yurt could sleep more people than advertised., the host was exceptionally accommodating to create a customized stay & gave us concierge service & reserved a table at 5 star restaurant nearby!

Weekend Trip to Coco Plum
Ancelin and Aaron have served up the best of glamorous camping at Coco Plum. With a thatched roof and three walls you have have indoor privacy while still feeling very much outdoors. It really seems like they have thought of everything and have put a lot of love and attention to detail into this place. You are sharing their property and they are extremely gracious and warm hosts, welcoming you to use the pool, hot tub, boats and bikes. This is a place for nature lovers and nature is there in abundance, so if you are uncomfortable with critters, including snakes, spiders, wasps, and mice, this stay is not for you. If on the other hand you love critters, you will be spoiled here and like me, probably not want to leave.

We had, inexplicably, the BEST time at Coco Plum. It was even better in person. CLEAN, SEXY, NATURAL. Plenty of activities to do, we did so much without ever leaving the place for a couple days. We got in close to sunset and started fishing from the water’s edge, then enjoyed a peddle boat down the canal and hot tubbing before bed. The next day we fished on the John boat, bicycled, drank, danced, played chess, watched a movie, enjoyed varying types of tacos for our meals via the grill. Very relaxing and fun time. It was the perfect place for a little getaway for our 2 year anniversary, a convenient distance from home, 2 hours. Ancelin and Aaron were AMAZING hosts. Tended to any and all questions easily. Very much people you can’t wait to know better! It was our first time using Hipcamp, we are usually Airbnb users, but we had a lovely experience finding this haven. We will certainly recommend this place to our friends/ family and cannot wait to revisit!
