3 nights at Smokey Acres

Slightly off the beaten path but close enough to necessities. Quiet (there is some road noise but it's absolutely not a problem). Clean. Spacious sites; you're not on top of your neighbors. Would 100% stay at this property again.

4 nights at Cotee River Bend

We had the most wonderful stay at this private property campsite! We felt completely at home. The campsite itself is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and offers plenty of space and privacy. The bathrooms and showers were very clean seriously some of the cleanest we’ve ever encountered while camping! It’s such a relief to have access to fresh, well-kept facilities after a long day out exploring. The location is also a major highlight. It’s tucked away just enough to feel like a relaxing escape, but still super convenient—close to shops, restaurants, and anything you might need. And best of all, it’s not far from the beaches! We were able to enjoy quiet mornings at camp and then head out for afternoon swims and sunsets by the coast. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or just looking for a peaceful getaway, this place is a total winner. We’ll definitely be back!

1 night at Smokey Acres

Great location with nice views of a starry night (once the clouds clear). Depending on your desired camping experience, may feel crowded but nice amenities (bathroom/shower) are close by. Overall nice experience.

2 nights at Smokey Acres

Perfect little spot to get away loved the cabin will be back to camp

As always clean and secluded, enjoyed our stay 🙂.

2 nights at Homosassa Springs RV Site

We loved camping at Alonda’s campsite. Nice shaded lot with easy access and hookups. There was outside dining and nice packed gravel which kept inside of camper clean. The amenities offered were great. We could use back deck by canal and also use of kayaks were a fun activity. We enjoyed a nice relaxing holiday weekend stay. Definitely would come back and stay again.

Weekend Trip to Smokey Acres

We loved site 2. Very private and shaded. We didn’t know what to expect, but it was great! Super cool nature walk to see some of the other options offered here. Primitive camping in a tent, but the breeze was so constant most of the morning and evening the heat is very tolerable. (92). Great location. , nice respectful campers, tidy with old school amenities. We loved it. This was our FIRST Hipcamp experience. The springs around here are worth the time to set up camp and enjoy it all. Host Hilary responded quickly and got us there no problem. Two Thumbs up 👍🏼

1 night at Smokey Acres

Nice spot for a weekend getaway. The site was very accommodating with firewood, restrooms, water faucets, etc. Very well worth it!

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

We loved our stay. It was great having the wood deck at this site with the picnic table. We got there too late on Saturday for the ranch tour but got to visit the goats and having the donkeys and horses visit our camp site each morning was nice. Rob and Mike were great hosts.

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

What a great place, absolutely loved it. Can't wait to go back with our friends.

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

Rob & Mike have a beautiful property, camping areas are spacious, the RV spots are well laid out. There is plenty of shade. We loved being off grid. We took the farthest camp site and we will be coming back with our friends. The farm is wonderful, the horses showed up for breakfast 2 days in a row and we had plenty of fruit for them. The donkeys were sweet and a little timid. I do want to spend more time with them and brushing them. They were sweet and were in the field as we were leaving and surrounded me. My heart was happiest when we were in the goats pen and they ran to greet me and my husband and wanted so much attention. We got to see a baby goat not even 24 hours old. We both held 3 week old babies and I got to feed her with a syringe. She was born with 3 other sisters. They coffee bar was a very nice set up and the restrooms and showers were very clean and quaint. You definitely need to visit with Rob & Mike. They were perfect hosts, great personalities, attentive and very knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing your farm with us and cant wait to come back Rob and & Mike.

Weekend Trip to Community of Consciousness

Peaceful, beautiful land with all the amenities needed for a back-to-basics time away. There are farms nearby so be prepared for some animal serenades - earplugs recommended for light sleepers. I love this place as well as the people who care for it. A great place to reconnect with nature and friends. Wildlife on property include fox squirrels, foxes, gopher tortoise, Sandhill cranes and all manner of birds. If you camp here, please respect the land and leave no trace of your stay.

Cotee River Bend

8 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · New Port Richey, FL

Our RV Campsites are located in a grassy field next to dense woods. Electric and water hookups are included in the RV/Camper sites, but not the Tent Site. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Our newly renovated restrooms on the property have toilets and one shower. A boardwalk takes you along the Cotee River to our open air pavilions with several places to sit and enjoy nature. Cell phone service is not a problem, as we are not that remote (although it sort of feels like we are when you are here) - we are 5 min from downtown New Port Richey, 2 minutes from groceries, gas, restaurants. This beautiful slice of Old Florida is named for the Pithlachascotee River that bends along the back side of the property. Pithlo is the Creek word meaning canoe, and chaskita means to dig or chop out, together signifying "place where canoes are chopped or dug out". Seminoles of this area used canoes dug out from the great cypress trees found along Florida rivers. From the 1980s until 2014, this property was owned by the Cotee River Lions Club. They held a popular monthly pancake breakfast fundraiser in the large pavilion along the river. We purchased this 4.9 acres of land in late 2019. It is now where we live and have a woodworking shop. It has been a magical place for us, with no shortage of wildlife, rich jungle forest, a lazy winding narrow river, and even the occasion river otter sighting. We are grateful to all the humans who have occupied this place over the centuries before us for keeping it as nature intended it. It is our intention to do our part to conserve and protect its natural beauty as long as possible. We hope you find it to be as restful and rejuvenating as we do.

Haus Boutique

4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents4 acres · Dade City, FL

"Nestled among rolling hills and shaded by sprawling oaks, Pasco County—especially the charming town of Dade City—has a rich agricultural heritage that’s as sweet as the citrus it once famously produced. Known as the “Kumquat Capital of the World,” Dade City has long embraced its identity as a small-town hub of farming pride, where kumquats—those tiny, tangy-sweet citrus gems—are celebrated every year with a beloved Kumquat Festival that draws visitors from far and wide. The county’s fertile soil and gentle climate made it ideal for a variety of crops, and in the early 20th century, families carved out homesteads and farms, growing oranges, peaches, watermelons, and vegetables. Pasco’s patchwork of farms wasn’t just about produce—it was about community. Neighbors shared harvests, recipes, and stories over fences and at farmers’ markets that felt more like reunions. Cattle ranching and dairy farming also played a vital role in the region’s economy, and many of the family-run ranches still thrive today, preserving a way of life rooted in hard work, respect for the land, and a deep connection to tradition. There’s something almost poetic about the way sunrise still paints the fields gold, just as it did a century ago, while tractors hum and roosters call out the start of another honest day’s work. Dade City, with its antique shops, front porch rockers, and wraparound verandas, has managed to keep that cozy, vintage Americana feel, while honoring the agricultural legacy that helped it grow. It’s a place where history isn't confined to museums—it's alive in the fields, the festivals, and the hearts of the people who still believe in the beauty of growing something from the earth."

Camping near New Port Richey guide

Overview

The city of New Port Richey is flanked by incredible views of the Gulf of Mexico on the west and vibrant forests in the Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park to the east. The metropolitan amenities of Tampa are only an hour's drive south, while nearby outdoor activities like hiking and horseback riding are available at the Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve. Pull-through and back-in RV campgrounds with communal areas, wifi connections, electrical hookups, and dump stations are abundant in the area, while tent camping is also available with amenities like fire rings. Warm weather and sunny skies make New Port Richey a year-round destination for all kinds of campers.

Where to go

Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park

Only a 15-minute drive from New Port Richey’s city center, Jay B. Starkey Wilderness Park offers 8,300 acres of multi-use trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Spend the day fishing in the Anclote and Pithlachascotee Rivers, or head to the Starkey Environmental Education Center to learn about the area’s natural habitats. Stay right in the park, and rent a cabin or pitch a tent at a primitive campsite equipped with picnic tables and firepits.

Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve

Green Swamp Wilderness Preserve encompasses 110,000 acres of wetlands that are home to native carnivorous plants. It’s a popular spot for viewing local wildlife like armadillos and black bears, as well. Campers flock to Green Swamp for hiking, horseback riding, non-motorized boating, and hunting. RV campsites with dump stations and electrical hookups are available at Colt Creek State Park within the preserve. There are also primitive campsites and equestrian campsites with spaces for horse trailers.

Tampa

For urban activities and traditional Cuban sandwiches, head south to the area surrounding the city of Tampa. In town, campers can feel the energy while shopping, sipping cocktails at a rooftop bar, or laughing at a comedy club, but for a bit of nature, snag a spot at one of the many pet-friendly RV campgrounds nearby with pools, wifi connections, and full-service hookups. Then, head to Fort De Soto Beach for some more dog-friendly fun in the sun. (Clearwater Beach’s sandy shores are dog-free if that’s preferred.) Drive-in equestrian campgrounds are also popular and come equipped with picnic tables and fire rings.

When to go

March, April, and May are popular months to visit New Port Richey. Prepare for spring breakers at the tourist attractions during these months.

The winters in New Port Richey see temperatures as low as 50°F, but the skies are almost always sunny and accommodating for year-round camping trips.
