Weekend Trip to Forever Young Farm

such sweet people! will stay next time i’m in town 💗

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

Great campsite! Pacefull and quiet. Big space with full hookups So close to Flagler Avenue but far enough to be chill. Craig was so kind and lent me an 30/50 amp adapter that I didn’t have.

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

The hosts, Lauren and Craig, were very nice and accommodating. Their property is quiet and secluded, but still close to downtown and the beaches. Overall, one of the best locations we have visited.

Weekend Trip to Luxury Hut with 5 Star Amenities

The host was super kind, helpful, and responsive. They had an incredible space, very clean, and great energy. I'm excited to see what they do with their other spaces and would absolutely stay again!

1 night at Patmos Island

Easy access to site. Bike ride to town and walkable to some restaurants. Enjoyed our stay.

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

Craig was a great host, easy going and personable. Staying at Craig’s place was our second Hipcamp experience, and it was everything we could have asked for. The RV space is simply appointed with all the services, and access was unencumbered in our 24’ class-C motorhome. The neighborhood felt safe and provided a great place to walk our cattledog, Indigo. Fortunately Craig’s dog is easygoing and friendly like his “owner.” He tolerated our not so easygoing and not so friendly 11 year old Indigo girl. We would certainly stay here again should we ever find ourselves traveling down the east coast of Florida.

Weekend Trip to Forever Young Farm

We enjoyed staying there! Lots of space for us and our dogs and a cute area with chairs, grill and a fireplace.

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

We loved it here. It was so peaceful and quiet. The land is beautiful and well maintained and was perfect for walking our over-excited dog. It was his first ever camping trip in our new to us travel trailer, so he was already dealing with a lot of change. Having his walks be so low key instead of being in a busy campground made it much more relaxing for all of us. The site was clean, the full hookups were in excellent working order, and there's a trash can and recycling bin right on it which was super convenient. Craig was very welcoming. We felt safe and comfortable and really enjoyed our little getaway.

Weekend Trip to J & T Hideaway / Silver Springs, FL

Campsite and park were nice. We would stay again. Hosts respond quickly.

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

Weekend Trip to Enchanted Oaks Camp & Farm

This farm is sooo adorable! Cassie is great and welcoming, the places to stay in are very unique and decorated so boho vintage. Lots of space to walk, pet and feed animals, or even watch the stars. Easy to obtain wood, clean property. I will definitely return and stay in another unit. Very romantic space.

1 night at Forever Young Farm

Very nice place and friendly hosts. Recomend it. Also great for observing rocket launges or stars.

1 night at Patmos Island

Easy area to park the RV and extra vehicle. Very natural setting that really felt like Florida. Dogs were happy to be off leash. Owners were kind and friendly.

Weekend Trip to Beach at the Oaks

Debra was awesome, her property was nice, clean and beautiful. Everyone was so friendly and helpful it felt like home away from home. My children enjoyed the property. One suggestion is to add an additional picnic table. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

Craig was such a wonderful host, he told us about a rocket lauch to see from the streat and a few other remarkable things. The place is equipped with 30/50 amp., water and sewer. And a very good italien restaurant around the corner 👍😄 Absolutely great, thanks to Graig and Lauren. Highly recommended.

1 night at Forever Young Farm

Great space, great communication from host! Would definitely visit again!

2 nights at J & T Hideaway / Silver Springs, FL

Very nice site on the corner with a little deck. Nice trail in the to walk on in the woods. Nice campground we didn’t get to see it all. Wished we would have stayed longer. Close to Silver springs. We did check the little candy store out in front before we left.. make sure you don’t miss stopping there. Everyone there was friendly. Would like to come back and stay longer next time!

Weekend Trip to Patmos Island

Easy access and convenient to beaches and downtown shopping.

3 nights at Forever Young Farm

We enjoyed our peaceful and relaxing stay with our pups at Forever Young Farm. Such a friendly place to visit, the hosts are so kind and welcoming. A great location with a short drive to local attractions, the Beach, and outdoor activities. A great place for a bike ride too. We had plenty of space at our site with electric, a charcoal grill, fipepit, table and chairs, and a cute little palm tree for shade for the dogos. We enjoyed hearing and watching the chickens and turkeys and a cute pig who would come by the fence to say hi to the dogs. We will definitely be staying here again when in the area. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.

Weekend Trip to Forever Young Farm

We have 3 acres right in the middle of town in New Smyrna Beach. It's a quiet setting behind Sacred Heart church, sandwiched between a large open field and the railroad tracks far in back behind trees. We've worked hard to make it a cozy retreat - like setting where people can spend a few nights in an affordable manner just 5 minutes from the beaches and fun New Smyrna Beach attractions. Biking, boating, sunning, fishing, paddle-boarding, kayaking, eating... all within a few minutes of your quiet retreat. Our house is on the property but it's 200 feet away behind trees/bushes. It's a 100 year old house built from the wood of a church in NSB. Lifted up on a Coquina rock wall it is quite unique. There is a large secluded area where your dogs can be run. We have dogs too but there's plenty of room to share.
