Come enjoy a quiet getaway at Healing Tree Homestead. Our 5 acres is close enough to I-75 and in-town amenities to be convenient but far enough away to offer a peaceful rest from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tent site has a clear view of the large pond and property, and the RV site is tucked between a banana circle and the nursery. We’re a working homestead that’s constantly growing and changing, and there are sheep, goats, chickens, a dog, cats and a bunch of kiddos, but we all have our own spaces away from the RV and tent campsites. Part of the property is a nursery, part of it is a young orchard, and most of it is used to free range our livestock. We work and live on site. If you would like to participate in feeding animals, planting trees or helping us prepare garden beds, we’d welcome the company. *Please note that we live off a dirt road that’s very bumpy and rural.

Expect beautiful stars, local wildlife such as owls and chameleons, an outdoor shower, and a "hippie hot tub" powered by a campfire. Sunsets on Flitterbug Farm are truly epic.
The land is close to 180 miles of local kayak trails, a 10 minute drive from beautiful walking trails, and about an hour from the beach. We offer a rustic composting toilet, a heated outdoor shower, and a simple outdoor kitchen zone with a sink and stovetop.
Note: Flitterbug Farm is in a rural, agricultural part of South Florida. The setting is peaceful, but it’s also alive with the sounds of farm life and wildlife. You may hear roosters, dogs, owls, frogs, and the usual country activity from nearby neighbors. Many guests find the natural soundscape part of the charm, but we want you to know what to expect.

We were looking for a place to camp close to home for a weekend getaway. The site doesn't look level but it actually is, there is a picnic table provided and the hookups were easy to access. The weekend was very peaceful, it was decently quiet. There were a few cows seen in the field behind the site. Overall a relaxing weekend and I would definitely return.

Trina is a visionary who knows how to make it happen. This place is very unique and offers way more than the average campsite. There are areas you can have privacy as well as areas you can enjoy with other like minded travelers.
There is a house you can rent through Airbnb or reserve a spot for your tent or preferred camping method. I was in a camper van and there was another group on a caravanning kayaking trip with a small boat trailer, and all were able to drive to their spots without issue.
Trina and Zay were welcoming and knowledgeable about their land, made me feel right at home. As a solo woman traveler, I felt safe and slept like a baby .There’s a pond, chameleons, large open areas and a few areas that are a work in progress.
The best outdoor shower I’ve seen in years with hot water!
Would absolutely recommend and look forward to returning to see what new elements they add.
Oh, if you’re working remotely or need internet, I was able to use a hotspot through Verizon but also was able to connect to Trina’s WiFi network too.

The hosts were super friendly and greeted immediately upon our arrival. They also responded immediately when we had a question. The site had it's own private little garden area that was charming. It was located close to shopping and restaurants, but was in a quiet neighborhood. The touristy things were within a comfortable drive. If you intend to back in, know that the power and water will be on the passenger side and you may need extensions depending on what your rig has as equipment.

Stayed here with my six tear old son. A beautiful camp site, private, and a 30 second walk to the toilet & shower, and to the creek too! So beautiful. Plenty of trees to provide shade. John, the host, was so friendly and a wonderful person.

We stayed in the Hideaway campsite with our 23 foot sprinter van. We loved the privacy and being surrounded by nature. The walk to the bathroom/shower area is very nice. There’s gardens and a Koi pond and a little tiki bar and a cobblestone-like walkway with patios. I would call this a community area. The bathroom was always clean and the outdoor shower although I was hesitant, was actually very nice with plenty of hot water and good flow. We enjoyed our stay very much.

J and P Creekside Retreat is the kind of campsite that immediately makes you want to extend your stay. From the moment you arrive, it's clear that John puts his heart into every detail — the thoughtful touches throughout the camp speak volumes about how much he cares about the guest experience.
The campsite itself was clean and well-maintained, and the bathroom was not only spotless but charming in its own right. The outdoor shower was a pleasant surprise — hot, comfortable, and honestly a highlight of the stay.
Waking up to the sound of the creek in the morning was pure bliss. It's the kind of peaceful setting that makes you slow down and appreciate where you are. This is exactly the type of place that's easy to settle into — whether you're there for a night or a week, you'll find yourself wishing you had more time.
If you're looking for a campsite with character, cleanliness, and a host who genuinely goes the extra mile, J and P Creekside Retreat deserves a spot at the top of your list.

Trina’s property is gorgeous! She was also very nice and welcoming. My family had a wonderful 3 nights there! My children enjoyed the chickens, Muppet and Diabla. They also enjoyed visiting the baby chicks. They said that was their favorite part. It’s very spacious and we could set up our badmitton/volleyball net. We got to meet other great campers and our kids had a lot of fun. They were worn out by 8 every night and slept for 12 hours. They were able to run around and explore the land, they thoroughly enjoyed the pond swing. Mom and dad loved that they could run around and disappear for hours safely. We really love the outdoor shower, the most magical shower I’ve ever had and now I want one lol. Loved that there was a bathroom and outdoor kitchen so we could wash our cooking gear and didn’t have to pack up dirty dishes. It was amazing and really felt like we were out in the woods. We will definitely be coming back and maybe bringing some friends!

Silver Bullet Stables is a lively place. A variety of animals, including; horses, longhorn steers, donkeys, chickens, cats and dogs. Along with the neighboring bull and St Bernard and of course the wildlife and sunsets! They host horse riding lessons for the local 4H kids and others. Watching the crew work with the variety of horses, some newly acquired was fun. It is laidback and relaxing place, but so full of life! We thoroughly enjoyed both of our visits this winter and look forward to future stays.
