Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

Amanda the owner is awesome, but we loved Bella her 15 y/o pup the best! Great location easy to play on the river/creek, hike some trails, be relaxed in peace and beauty. We stayed at the rv spot- we didn’t have a 30min converter so she let us borrow one - great weekend on river

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

The host is amazing. She is very welcoming and attentive. The site is super clean and peaceful with enough room between sites to ensure privacy. Loved the covered outdoor kitchen area and the cedar walled restrooms. As for the waterfront: you just gotta go experience it! Thank you Amanda. P.S. we all loved Bella.

1 night at The Wandering Path

Such a pretty spot, very quiet, clean and well-kept. Adorable bathhouse, also tidy and well-kept. Perfect place to get away and camp. Can’t wait to go back. 10/10

The hosts were kind and courteous,cleared a spot just so we could have privacey,went above and beyond..very clean campsites,very peaceful atmosphere ..the picnic table and fire pit were very convenient and nice..I would definitely recommend this camp site

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

It was a beautiful property with everything laid out in a way that was convenient and easy to navigate. I would definitely stay again.

3 nights at The Wandering Path

Our relaxing camping trip was a fun! Our site was tucked away next to a river. Very remote and off grid but still felt comfortable and safe. Amanda made sure we knew exactly where to go with specific directions to the site. If you go in the warmer months do not underestimate the amount of mosquitos here! We a few thermacell lanterns and strong bug spray that kept most of the bugs away from the campsite but got eaten up walking to and from the bathhouse. That was to be expected though. Lovely camp site!

1 night at The Red Barn

This place is a hidden gem. Andrew has thought of everything to make this place comfortable. I stayed in Tent site C, the red barn, and used it mostly as my charging station and lounge area. I pitched my tent right next to it. The grounds are well lit, shower was hot and toilet clean. It was perfect for my stay with my dog. I recommend downloading the app Merlin Bird ID to name the morning choir of birds in the area. It was a peaceful stay. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

Wow! What an experience! From the moment we arrived, everything felt so thoughtful and beautifully maintained. The grounds were pristine, and you could tell so much love and care goes into keeping this place special. The bathhouse blew us away—it was such a treat to have a full bathroom while camping! The cook shack was another awesome touch. Having a real sink to clean after cooking made our experience feel both rustic and fancy. We stayed at the primitive hike-in Site 8, and WOW—what a gem. Tucked away on a creekside cliff, it felt like our own private hideaway in the woods. Amanda, our host, recommended bringing a cart for the hike in, and I’m so glad she did—it made setting up camp a breeze. The site itself had everything we needed: solar lights, a fire pit with a cooking grate, a trash can, and a picnic table, with tons of room for our tents and gear. Our two boys spent the entire weekend playing in the creek, which might just be the dreamiest spot we’ve ever seen. We loved being able to float down the water, hike along the property, and just let the kids be wild and free while still having everything we needed close by. Amanda was such a lovely and thoughtful host. She checked in to make sure we were all set and even passed by while floating the creek herself! That little moment summed up the whole weekend-fun, relaxing, and full of heart. We’re so grateful for this experience and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven!

I almost don't want to review our stay here because we want it all to ourselves! Amanda is a fantastic host, and her property is everything we were looking for. Peaceful, quiet, beautiful beach on the creek. We're already making plans to come back.

Weekend Trip to Gateway Trails

The boondocking site was just the right fit for that leg of my travels. Self contained toyhauler and Chihuahua mix. Once the door closed maybe if semi drove past may I have heard it. Host's were talkative quite pleasant and informative. Stay again, sure would.

Weekend Trip to Gateway Trails

Had a beautiful night at Suzette’s campground very wonderful people. I would definitely stay there again.

3 nights at Gateway Trails

This was my second trip to Gateway Trails, first was a solo trip and this time, friends came to enjoy! This site was new to me but was equally wonderful. The campsite was so spacious and yet private and protected, we felt perfectly safe walking around at any time of the day or evening. The site-mentioned outhouse was pristine upon arrival, our purchased firewood was stacked so carefully by the perimeter of our site so it wouldn’t impede tent setup, and the fire pit and table were clean and ready to go! We had less bug friends than I’ve ever seen at a campsite, plenty of space right next to the potable water to set up a portable shower, and the stars at night were clear and bright, deep in the heart of Florida (ten points to you if you know that adjusted lyric). Mr. Jay came to greet us and brought over his adorable pup to say hello as well. It’s been two years since I’ve been to their campsite, and he still remembered me (even after all their fully booked months!) and greeted us all with such kindness. We were bummed we didn’t get to see Mrs. Suzette but respectfully might request a celebrity appearance next time we come down! Thank you Gateway Trails for a fun, safe, and gorgeous camping trip, we cannot wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

I could not recommend Amanda's place more highly! It's in a perfect location, right next to the most beautiful creek and far enough away from civilization that there's virtually no road noise. The bathhouse and outdoor kitchen are both amazing things to have, and Amanda was a helpful and attentive host. I'll definitely be back soon.

2 nights at The Wandering Path

We loved staying at Amanda’s place! She’s was such a friendly host. We stayed at campsite number 8 and it was perfect for us. I loved floating the creek. It was clear and shallow!!

It was a very peaceful stay, with beautiful views.

3 nights at The Wandering Path

Amanda is an absolute gem. She was so accommodating from the start. My sister and I arrived there Thursday afternoon and was immediately greeted by sweet Bella. (Amanda’s dog) She hung around with us for a lil bit and then left to make her rounds of the campground. She came back a lil later and said hello again before headed back home for the night. Amanda greeted us right away as well. She made sure we had everything we needed and even offered to pick anything else up that we may have forgotten when she went to the store later that afternoon. The campground was beautifully set up. We stayed at the RV site. My sister had her RV and I set up my rooftop tent on my jeep. The bathroom facilities are adorable. Amanda went above and beyond when she designed them. Very rustic and quaint. I could go on and on about Amanda and The Wandering Path. She personally called me on our way out thanking us for staying out there and then wished me a happy birthday today. That was the icing on the cake for me:) I told her that we will definitely make my bday and annual trip. Thanks again Amanda for the hospitality. We couldn’t be more happier with our stay. Give sweet Bella some love from us until next time.
