Instead of eliminating nature, we embrace awareness and knowledge for coexisting with insects, wildlife, critters, plants, etc. For visitors who love walking: the three roads of this neighborhood are dead ends and have hills. Perimeters of agricultural fields can also be walked, if desired. Other things to note: Our home is on site and located toward the front of the property.

Weekend Trip to Sandy Creek Resort

Igor and April's property is absolutely gorgeous, well thought out, and a magical place to spend any amount of time. We had an amazing time kayaking on the creek, cooking in the outdoor kitchen and just enjoying our time on their magical property. The yurt was comfortable, well provisioned and had everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Sandy Creek Resort

This place was amazing! All the little details that you see in everything they have built there, by hand! My favorite part was the smell of fresh wood in the yurt. And the bathroom, was beautiful. I want my bathroom at home to be that nice. I will definitely be booking another night here in the future. The host was amazing too. Super friendly, made you feel comfortable, and responded quickly to any questions!

Weekend Trip to Sandy Creek Resort

We had a great time! I love being outside and setting up a hammock around the fire and be away from everything! My girlfriend needs a little more- so this was PERFECT! Beautiful set up with many extras to enjoy. Felt like we were in a hotel room! But still got to set up my hammock, cook over the fire, and feel like I was out and away from everything! They have incredible outdoor kitchen ready for if you want more than the fire. The hosts were great communicating and making sure we were set up and enjoying everything! Very friendly and welcoming! Felt comfortable the entire time. Looking to book again soon and get goat yoga scheduled:)

Where to go

Big Lagoon State Park

On the northern shores of the Gulf of Mexico, Big Lagoon State Park covers more than 700 acres of upland habitats, including saltwater tidal marshes and a coastal forest of pine flatwoods. Nearby beach campsites and cabin rentals offer views of the Gulf, plus the opportunity to check out more than 20 species of migratory birds, which stop through the area. The park is also a starting and ending point for the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail, a 1,500-mile sea-kayaking route that takes paddlers across the state.

Blackwater River State Forest

The largest forest in Florida, Blackwater is a dream destination for hikers, kayakers, cyclists, and campers thanks to dozens of creeks and streams spanning the park’s ecosystem of longleaf pine, scrub oak, and wiregrass. It’s a great destination for day trip paddles and overnight voyages, with many private forest campsites near streams and the main river.

Escribano Point Wildlife Management Area

Spanning 10 miles of Florida coastline on Blackwater Bay, Escribano Point is a great launch point for paddlers and anglers to explore the park’s bays, river swamps, and estuaries, which support unique coastal habitats and local species like black bears. Hipcampers staying at one of Escribano Point’s tent campsites (or at a nearby campground or RV site) should be aware of bears in the area, especially when storing food.

When to go

Like all of Florida, Milton is known for being warm and humid year-round. With July temperatures regularly reaching well into the 90s, summer can be a great time to hit the water and escape the heat, but it’s best to be aware of hurricane threats during this time. Heatstroke and dehydration are also concerns—always check to see if a park or preserve has safe drinking water, and pack a supply if not. Winters in Florida are still rather mild, with even cold January days only reaching an average low of 40°F. For this reason, winter RV camping is especially popular.
