*****PLEASE READ THIS PRIOR TO BOOKING: THIS IS TRUELY AN ISLAND THAT IS UN-INHABITED OTHER THAN NATURE. DUE TO THIS FACT YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL WATERCRAFT OR ADD AN "EXTRA" KAYAK/CANOE RENTAL OR SHUTTLE SERVICES TO YOUR BOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL COST BEYOND CAMPING FEE. THE ADDITIONAL SERVICES REQUIRE A HUMAN BEING TO BE ON CALL AND DELIVER EQUIPMENT AND MACHINES FOR YOUR ADVENTURE. **** if ok with the above please proceed as there has been some confusion about islands. About the Island: Ever wonder what it would be like to stay on a deserted island? This is truly an adventure you will never forget. Once you land in paradise you will wander thru the looping trail system to find your campsite. There are (5) campsites with elevated tent platforms tucked back in the trees. Once you are settled in,  it is time to gather wood and build a fire in one of the (2) 8 foot wide,  2 ton concrete fire pits.   Awake a dawn with a nice kayak/canoe trip on a secluded water trail thru mangrove islands and stop for lunch at River's Edge Bar and Grill across the river from the island.  Having too much fun, take a nap in hammock and rock to breeze and sounds of river.  This is an island is accessible via water only so there is some preparation to get here and stay here.  Kayaks, Canoes and a shuttle are available if you don't have your own transportation.  Please contact prior to booking to ensure you understand the packages, for example,  if you want to rent the whole island for yourself and need transportation for your group. We offer tailored quote for package based on your needs. Our Story: After 6 years of my neighbor bugging me to buy this island, I finally took him up on it. My neighbor bought it in the 1970's but did little with it. It has been overgrown for years. I am actively work to develop multiple campsites of the island for enjoyment of the river and its surrounding. All money from your stay here is re-invested back into the property.

It’s an ideal location to explore St Pete as we are right between the beaches and downtown (5 miles to St Pete beach, 4 miles to downtown -$10 Uber ride), Sarasota and/or Tampa. Ours is an urban spot based on ease, safety and location, not a wilderness "experience" We have a paved circular driveway overlooking our beehives, henhouse and seasonal garden where you’ll find a table with chairs and plenty of space to cookout and enjoy a quiet evening with a great sunset by the blowing bamboo. This is one of South St Pete’s oldest neighborhoods- it surrounds an active former PGA golf course and lively country club. It’s a great place for safely biking or walking with green spaces, tennis courts, playgrounds and dog parks nearby. There are many owls, raptors, green parrots, purple martins and osprey overhead as we’re just a few blocks from the beautiful Boyd Hill Nature Preserve. - not to be missed! The Pinellas Trail is just a short bike ride away too and can lead you to downtown. It is a cyclists favorite! We love our city - happy to give recommendations.

5 nights at Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Quiet and peaceful. Perfect for traveling daily to North Port for a four-day seminar. Also close to beach. Nice area. We loved the peacock and the horses too of course.

Beautiful peaceful place to relax. Excellent location to many beaches and restaurants. Stephanie was friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed watching the fish each morning in the River.

4 nights at Cedarkirk Camp & Conf. Center

I really enjoyed my time at Cedarkirk and would definitely return. The camp sites were separated by bushes to give privacy. The amenities were clean, and the land around the camp was beautiful. The area was peaceful and serene. I would highly recommend a visit.

4 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

We stayed in the Hideaway campsite with our 23 foot sprinter van. We loved the privacy and being surrounded by nature. The walk to the bathroom/shower area is very nice. There’s gardens and a Koi pond and a little tiki bar and a cobblestone-like walkway with patios. I would call this a community area. The bathroom was always clean and the outdoor shower although I was hesitant, was actually very nice with plenty of hot water and good flow. We enjoyed our stay very much.

1 night at J and P Creekside Retreat

J and P Creekside Retreat is the kind of campsite that immediately makes you want to extend your stay. From the moment you arrive, it's clear that John puts his heart into every detail — the thoughtful touches throughout the camp speak volumes about how much he cares about the guest experience. The campsite itself was clean and well-maintained, and the bathroom was not only spotless but charming in its own right. The outdoor shower was a pleasant surprise — hot, comfortable, and honestly a highlight of the stay. Waking up to the sound of the creek in the morning was pure bliss. It's the kind of peaceful setting that makes you slow down and appreciate where you are. This is exactly the type of place that's easy to settle into — whether you're there for a night or a week, you'll find yourself wishing you had more time. If you're looking for a campsite with character, cleanliness, and a host who genuinely goes the extra mile, J and P Creekside Retreat deserves a spot at the top of your list.

Weekend Trip to Honey Bunny’s Urban Oasis

Loved it! Really beautiful and well maintained yard and home. We stayed at the henhouse and our cats loved watching the chickens. It felt very private because of all of the plants even though it’s on a corner lot. Very quiet and safe neighborhood, little to no road noise at night. We ubered to downtown and it was about $10-20. There is a free trolley that goes around downtown. We also loved fort de Soto park 20min other direction. Got good solar and Starlink connection. Would definitely stay again!

This is a unique property where it feels more like a family get together than a RV park. I enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend it to anyone especially single campers.

Weekend Trip to J and P Creekside Retreat

My daughter and I loved camping at John’s place. There is just so much love poured into this property, you can’t help but to just enjoy. When the teenager asks can we come back before the trip was even over, it’s a winner!
