Stories from the community

4 nights at Hub on A and Dub

Hooking up to water and electric was easy. It was a really nice spot convenient to the beach and shopping. Rachel and Mike didn’t hover which was great! But were available if I needed something.

4 nights at Estero FL RV Lot

Great spot. Plenty of room for my 31ft Class A. No issue with 50a electrical, sewer, or water. Cute little Florida HOA community. Didn’t use the pool or other facilities but they looked like they’d be nice too. The last few hundred feet of the drive is definitely tight but just take it slow and it’ll be fine.

Very kind,Very beautiful and fun Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful property, there was lots of wildlife to see, especially on the drive on the way in. Was a much appreciated camping spot after a day of exploring! Thanks for hosting us:)

Weekend Trip to Meadow River Ranch

Campsite was amazing right on the water. Beautiful set up with amenities: grill, fire pit, and patio on the water. Jeff was extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

1 night at SWFL Everglades Camping

My wife and I were there for a few hours, unfortunately there was a brush fire that was a bit too close for comfort (wife is from Fire country out west). Amanda was very helpful getting info about the fire. Richard is onsite and is a hell of a nice guy, gave us some fruit and fishing advice about the pond on site. It’s remote and very quiet with some good fishing. Would recommend.

Weekend Trip to Meadow River Ranch

We loved staying on Jeff's property! It was hard to leave and we look forward to returning this summer and fall. Jeff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Absolutely loved the outdoor spaces and the outdoor shower!

We were welcomed by our host Jeff who's been very friendly and accommodating. The site is nice, with lots of space for everyone. Dogs are allowed. We don't have any, but the ones present didn't make any trouble. We highly recommend this place, you won't regret it!

Weekend Trip to Meadow River Ranch

Would definitely come back! beautiful clean place to be at peace in nature, great place for dog owners and families too. We felt very safe and comfortable. Thank you Jeff!

3 nights at Hub on A and Dub

The place is very nice and quiet. We felt welcomed. The site offers easy electricity and water supply. Our hosts were responsive and caring. They did some beautiful landscaping around their property. I definitely recommend this spot!

2 nights at Hub on A and Dub

This was a beautiful site, so close to tons of fun activities. Hosts took great care of us, helping us when we arrived after dark, and the property is so green and peaceful. I would definitely stay again!

3 nights at SWFL Everglades Camping

This place was awesome! Very unique off grid camping spot beside a lake full of fish and a baby gator. We tent camped here for 3 nights between the fruit trees and I wish we had stayed longer! Richard was kind and helpful and checked in on us a few times gifting us some fresh produce. Very cool spot for stargazing or birdwatching. If you love the real Florida in all it's glory you will love it here. The generator powered hot water for a shower and flushing toilets made it a luxurious camping spot as opposed to a primitive campsite. Chickens were really cute. Some people in their reviews complained about the rooster but if you are used to farm life it does not make any difference to hear the rooster crowing. Lots of wildlife to see and hear throughout the day and night. Very close to Big Cypress Forest and the Everglades both beautiful see them while you still can! Overall a great spot would love to come back in the future.

3 nights at Hub on A and Dub

Great spot between downtown Ft Meyers and Fort Meyers Beach. Quiet spot! Our host was very welcoming.

Weekend Trip to Hub on A and Dub

Amazing hosts, spot is clean and quiet with water and electric, close to everything. Tmobile signal weak, but clear view of sky for Starlink.

Weekend Trip to SWFL Everglades Camping

Finally a really QUIET place to pitch your tent. Make a fire, admire the stars, enjoy the birds. Beautiful central space. With kitchen. Plenty hot water. Limited electricity (generator), no drinking water. 4 miles dirt road to get there, so bring everything you need with you. Great place if you can live with the minor points mentioned. Recommended !
