Weekend Trip to Riverside Retreat

We had a great time. We had our dog with us which is always a bonus. Our hosts helped us with whatever we needed and addressed any concerns we had quickly and attentively. We came for the river access and enjoyed it very much. Though they live nearby and there was another family renting another RV, it felt pretty private. We enjoyed the treehouse spot, the fishing dock, and the comfort of the RV at the end of each night. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks again!

2 nights at Riverside Retreat

This was an awesome experience for my husband, myself and two grandsons aged 12 & 13. We live in SW Florida and love to camp. I stumbled across this amazing property on Hipcamp. It was like camping in the best possible place in Florida. A very comfortable RV that slept the four of us quite comfortably. Very well equipped kitchen but no oven. The best part was outside. The property sits right on the Withlacoochee River and kayaks are included so my grandsons were able to master the art of paddling while we were there. The rest of the time they were fishing and every time they cast their lines, they would have a blue gill on their hook within five minutes, we counted at least thirty fish between them. They have dartboards, toys, fire pits, beautiful lighting at night. This would be a great place for a family reunion or a group of friends if they like the outdoor life. Sandra and her husband were awesome hosts. We plan on going back soon.

Located a few miles from Brooksville and the Suncoast Parkway, this quiet and peaceful setting is just 5 minutes from the parking area and trailhead for the Suncoast Trail and 10 miles from the famous Weeki Wachee Springs, where you can spend the day at the local park or float down the river with the manatees.
