7 nights at Smokey Acres

My GF and I had been looking for a cabin to stay at and found this lovely location. There are plenty of locations to go biking and kayaking as well. The only issues we found was that the shower would be either really hot or really cold so you had to play with it to shower well. Other than that great experience.

Weekend Trip to Smokey Acres

I had another peaceful and wonderful time here. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Smokey Acres

I loved camping here! We booked this for Mother’s Day and it was so peaceful and made for a good experience. The nature trail and lake was enjoyable and Hillary was so helpful when I had some questions . Definitely 10/10 recommend!

3 nights at Homosassa Springs RV Site

Great site great location. Everything was as expected. The area is gorgeous and site was close to everything a person needed to do. I was there in the beginning of May and the deer flies were a pain in the ass but the area made up for the inconvenience

2 nights at By the Pond...

Great spot. Was a little hard to find at night, but Mike was very helpful. I wish I could have stayed 1 more night, but had work come up.

1 night at Smokey Acres

We only spent one night. It was quiet, peaceful & lovely by the pond. We enjoyed the trail walk with our dog & left the following morning to continue our journey feeling refreshed & relaxed. The bathroom is primitive but our camper is self contained so no problem. Good location & easier to find than I thought it might be - good directions were provided.

1 night at By the Pond...

This place was amazing! Mike stopped by and introduced himself and is very passionate about his farm. He allowed us to choose any site as we were the only campers there! Had the entire area to walk around the lake with the dogs off leash and was able to see some of the exotic fruit trees( they sadly weren’t in season) but was a GREAT stay. The only thing I will say is the pictures are a little outdated. The lake is pretty overgrown and there is a few broken down campers on the property but that did not dock off any points at all! Would stay here again !

1 night at Smokey Acres

Great camp ground beautiful camp sites and cute little cabin to. Close to town also.

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

What a cool little farm! Rob & Mike have an awesome setup on their farm - from the private camp sites to the outdoor shower/bathroom setup they’ve thought of all the small details. Although I was only here for a day, I’d definitely come back for longer next time I’m back in the area. For a first time Hip-Camper they’ve set the bar for what a stay should be. Hands down better than camping on top of others at an RV park or even some cramped state/national parks. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Smokey Acres

Very peaceful very quiet but yet close enough to town to be very convenient. RV spaces are enough for your vehicle and your camper and to enjoy your space.

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

Great area! The restrooms and showers were well kept and clean and the experience was awesome! Highly recommend and will probably be back, the horses were very friendly!

3 nights at Lucky U Ranch

This was my second trip here with my granddaughter this year. We absolutely love it here. We just love the idea of camping with free roaming horses and donkeys. My granddaughter spends most of the day walking around with them and feeding them apples and carrots. We also really enjoyed hiking the trails. We love taking the tour of the ranch to see all the other animals and hold the baby goats. The campsites and the property have always been well maintained and beautiful. The bathrooms and showers are always clean and you always have hot water. The whole experience that Lucky U provides is simply amazing! The hosts Rob and Mike are the best! They have a genuine love for their animals, property, and people. They provide awesome service and are very accommodating. We are already planning another trip for the summer!

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

Rob and Mike have a jewel in the crown. Their place is well thought out and the bonus of the horses and donkeys having breakfast with us was wonderful! The showers and coffee bar (an added bonus) are spotless. We will be back again.

7 nights at Lucky U Ranch

We can’t express enough how lovely this ranch is , a beautiful area to camp with hot showers , and some of the best landscapes to wake up too. Rob & Mike are such pleasant people and made sure we were all set and happy through the stay. We also loved that they offer a weekly ranch tour and show you all the animals and even baby goats ! Probably one of the best “campgrounds” I have stayed at yet. We don’t even consider this a campground because there’s so much space between camps it’s truly such a peaceful space to spend time away. All of the springs , beaches and places to explore are within an hour to hour and a half including a 5 minute drive to the local river boat launch. My only advice to anyone staying is a little bug spray and keep your camps tidy and it’s truly a 10/10 place to stay. We are already planning our trip back to magnolia hill and can’t wait to see Rob & Mike again. If you’re thinking about a stay here , go ahead and book it you truly won’t be disappointed.

7 nights at Smokey Acres

5th time staying at Smokey Acres. Will stay many more. We love the peace and quiet. A+++

11 nights at Smokey Acres

Serenity at it's best. Our happy place and home away from home

3 nights at Lucky U Ranch

Rob & Mike are excellent hosts and offer a very peaceful camping experience. They have provided many extra’s and special touches for their guests. Getting to tour their ranch and visit with goats was a highlight for us. Not to mention being visited by donkeys and horses while enjoying morning coffee. We would definitely camp here again and highly recommend to our friends & family.

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

Rob and Mike were excellent hosts. They helped this first time rver set up camp. In the morning we were greeted by horses 🐎 and later toured the ranch. The animal experience was unlike any other. The land is serene and beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

This was our first time using hipcamp and it was an incredible experience. Rob and Mike were so hospitable from the fully stocked showers to the farm fresh eggs in the morning. You must go on the ranch tour, their property and animals were truly something special. We will be back again and again. Such a quaint magical land! 💚🏕️✨

Weekend Trip to Lucky U Ranch

My pup and I enjoyed our stay there. It was such an amazing experience to be sitting at my campsite and see a horse walk up to us. Then two others followed. Later, after our walk on the nature trail, seven donkeys came over to say Hi. Mike and Rob are very good hosts, quite welcoming. Their animals and the place are well cared for. The campsites are clean and well spaced out. I definitely recommend this place and would like to visit again.

"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."

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.

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.
