Hey guys! As avid campers and adventure seekers ourselves, we know how important safe (and cost effective) space for a night or two is.
That’s why we decided to offer a corner of our own rural paradise - amongst the mature oaks, blooming magnolias and palms. We have just under 7 acres with plenty of yard to share.
It’s pretty basic space without a lot of amenities (yet), but we know you’d love it here. Our pricing reflects our humble start and we invite you to park your RV, pop open your tent and make yourself at home.
A few things you can expect…
~Wherever you decide to set up camp, we will provide a picnic table, trash can and fire pit with wood.
~We are super pet friendly so bring your furry family members and we will ensure they’re safe and comfortable as well.
~There is access to water from the main house.
~ Electricity can be provided depending on how close you set up to the house. WiFi as well.
~ We do have a chicken coop so you can expect to hear them throughout the day.
~ We are on a dead end road in a rural residential area. Super quiet!
~ Pit potty in a super cute Outhouse.
~ If you stay during the month of March, you will adore our lightening bugs!
~ Tons of mature trees so bring your hammocks.
~ We are on site and available to you when needed. Forgot bug spray or need a band-aid? We got you! Need a board game, yard game or puzzle? We got those too!
~ Want total privacy? That’s ok too!
Watch us grow and come back as our offerings grow too. This is our start, but it’s going to be great!

Shiloh was the name of an early Florida town that was once located just down the road from our property. It was populated by hardy, adventurous folks who made a way for themselves and their families by clearing a spot along the lagoon, building a home and forging a life in a new location.
But Shiloh is now lost, literally removed from the maps. It no longer exists. When NASA needed a perimeter zone for the newly emerging space program in the 1950s, the federal government purchased large swaths of land between Oak Hill and Titusville, FL. Residents were bought out and forced to move. Houses were relocated or demolished. Shiloh disappeared into history while the space-age pushed forward into the future.
However... some foundations still can be found in the woods not far away, if you know where to look. There are even cemeteries that remain, whispering the names of individuals and families.
As a tribute to those early adventurers, we have named our place Camp Shiloh. We honor the past, we respect the wild Florida that surrounds us, and we celebrate the future as we watch rocket launches from our porch.
You are welcome to stay on the property while you explore the local communities of New Smyrna and Titusville, relax at beautiful Canaveral National Seashore, attend races in Daytona, visit amusement parks in Orlando... or whatever! It’s up to you. We are a peaceful, safe location from which you can stage your Florida adventure. Come on by. We look forward to hosting you!

Park your van/small RV or pitch your tent on our rural homestead conveniently located 1000 ft off of US Hwy 1. Nearest I-95 exit is 3 miles away. Watch rocket launches, visit nearby beaches, attend NASCAR races, see local communities, relax at Canaveral National Seashore, birdwatch at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, fish Mosquito Lagoon, or visit the amusement parks of Orlando, we are a safe and quiet location from which to stage your adventures. We have two campsites. Site 1 is a nice level, grassy campsite for tent or RV, complete with a fire ring, picnic table, and firewood. Site 2 is the Glamping Greenhouse! We aren't fancy, but are clean, secure, and private. You can come and go as you please, and day-trip all over beautiful central Florida!

Our land is Ideal for off grid living, RV boondocking, tent camping, camping, and nature exploring.
The beautiful oak trees provide a good amount of shade on the lot. No bathrooms or electrical hookups have been installed yet. There is a gas station about 5min away and town/grocery stores are about 10min away. You will feel like you are secluded, but not too far away from town.
We hope you enjoy our little oasis!

For those who are brand new to the rv/travel trailer/camper/“tiny house” living community, this is a perfect way to experience this lifestyle without making the commitment.
Visiting Kennedy Space Center? We are only 5minutes away.

There is a master bedroom (with queen bed), a bunkhouse with 3 smaller/kid sized beds, and a futon/couch in there as well. There is also a couch in the living room area that converts into a bed.

Garden oasis, 5 min. walk to the Atlantic Ocean w/quiet driveway parking space for your sm-med size RV. Perfect for folks travelling to/from the Florida Keys or anyone needing a beach break on the East Coast of Central Florida.
Our property, though small, is a heavily wooded, botanical dream totally geared for outdoor enjoyment and outside living. We have a greenhouse of tropical plants and function as a microfarm; just steps away from the ocean w/backyard chickens for fresh eggs, salad greens, herbs, fruits and vegetables grown year-round. You will find a fenced communal pool area, outdoor shower, bathroom, 2 covered porch areas, including outdoor kitchen space, minifridge, gas grill w/side burner, TV, Wi-Fi and space for a hammock. The is a shared space but we will always ensure your privacy and give you plenty of solitude, if that is what is desired. We are 420 friendly and don't mind small well behaved pets as long as you assume all responsibility, are careful with them and clean up after yourselves. Quiet time 10pm-8am.
The property is geared more toward adults. There is a backyard pool and many of our plants are poisonous, sharp, have dangerous spines. Safety is a priority; because of this, if you travel with kids they need to be supervised at all times. It is recommended everyone wears shoes and stays on main walkways when enjoying the property.
The RV parking site has a 50 amp RV power hook-up. There is also a 15-amp outlet (120V) at the site you can use as well. There is a city water hook-up. No blackwater sewer services. No wastewater dumping on the property. Your site has a dedicated shaded sitting area surrounded by bamboo and palm trees for your personal use, secluded in the front yard.
We're in a safe, residential neighborhood in a wonderful, beachside community, less than a mile to Walmart, Aldi, Walgreens, countless restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and the Indian River Lagoon.
Our ocean access boardwalk does not offer public restrooms, parking or lifeguards, but there are several parks nearby that do.
We are happy to help you locate any services we're unable to provide. We would love the opportunity to host you. Thank you for looking. Feel free to contact us for additional info prior to booking to ensure a good fit.

Hosts were excellent and very responsive! The site was huge and very lush with the surrounding trees. Loved the visiting chickens and the calling owls. There was an excellent bike trail just a couple of miles from here which made it perfect for a full day of biking. And then also the close proximity to New Smyrna made an excellent second day. Definitely recommend.
