Weekend Trip to Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

Great property true urban oasis. Loved the yardbirds, landscape and the lake. John, the host is a delight and easy to communicate with. In the Miami area I don’t know of a better spot.

1 night at Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

Great place! As advertised...an urban oasis. Wish I stayed longer.

Weekend Trip to Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

Amazing place. Such a vibe 🤙. John was helpful and friendly. Would stay again in a heartbeat

1 night at Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

The site was peaceful, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up — truly a hidden gem.

1 night at Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

Wow, what a find so close to Miami centre. I wish we'd stayed longer (arrived evening time and left really early in the morning as had to return RV). John was so friendly. Our little boy absolutely loved the lake, he was out on the canoe within minutes. Directions were spot on. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

John's land was amazing! Such a chill spot for some quiet camping near some water, as long as you don't mind chickens and roosters and the occasional cockadoodledoo every so often. Would definitely reccomend coming back here eventually!

4 nights at Bayside beach, fishing and camping

We found Jack’s place at Bayside Beach camp through an internet search. Living in Australia and going on our adventure we were basically relying on reviews. Bayside Beach Camp reviews were outstanding so we followed our dreams, ending our trip by staying four nights. What a wonderful experience. Jack and his family were so obliging and accommodated a couple of Aussies with open arms. Tranquil, beautiful, relaxing and a memorable visit. Highly recommend Bayside Beach Camp. The sunsets and setting, spectacular. Thanks Jack! Love Pete and Ange

1 night at Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

This was my second time staying at Honey’s place and i need to emphasize that is an urban oasis. Driving there you go through the hustle and bustle of the city but once you arrive all of that quiets down and time slows down. The grounds are kept impeccably, the grass is green, the trees are lush and the lake is tranquil. Went to clear my mind and celebrate my dog’s birthday and came back refreshed and ready to take on life again. Thank you John for having us and being such a great host, definitely will be coming back again.

1 night at Gods Country in Miami

Erick was quick to respond and the site is as described. Thank you. Bring some bug spray lol

5 nights at Miami Crossroads

We had a great stay with Jose and Eleine! They were available and ready to help. I definitely recommend them!

Weekend Trip to Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

If you are looking to camp and have a good time in the company of nature, this is a good place. We were a group of friends and had a great time. We were even able to use the BBQ. I recommend it.

Weekend Trip to Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

This was an amazing stay. The place is as advertised and as beautiful as the pictures. It's wild opening the gate in a dense neighborhood and seeing a lush garden, free range chickens, a spring fed pond, and nicely built tent pads in a hidden oasis. Although you share the space with John & other campers, there are privacy screens & enough space to make you feel secluded. You might wake up to an airplane or occasional road traffic sounds, but that's the only reminder that you're in the middle of Miami. I would stay here again.

1 night at Gods Country in Miami

Nice quiet spot. Dogs loved the open area. Next to race track 🤙🏼

3 nights at Miami Crossroads

Perfect place in South Florida for whatever you have planned! Everything is close by. Property was perfect for our dogs and Jose and Eileen could not have been more accommodating.

1 night at Miami Crossroads

Jose and Eileen were perfect hosts! Jose met us on arrival and showed us around.Property fit our needs and our pups had a great time..very quiet. Water, septic readily available, sites level. Jose was very informative about the local area as well as the Keys. Property is close to just about everything, many restaurants, Walmart etc. Recommended!!

Weekend Trip to Bayside beach, fishing and camping

If you are looking for a quiet, low key place for a quick get away from the mainland where you can watch the sunsets, this is the place.

Weekend Trip to Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

We loved this little camping experience! My husband and I stayed for 1 night and enjoyed a campfire, lake view, clean designated camping spot, and great vibes. It’s right in the middle of Miami and we couldn’t believe this nature oasis exists there. Definitely recommend.

Staying at Honey's Place was great! Two paws up! I am already looking forward to staying there next year!
