(Be prepared for a lot of rooster crowing EARLY in the mornings). Our campsite was level and had water and electric. It was not too close to the other campers who were there and we had plenty of privacy. Star gazing was awesome! Highly recommend."

This is a camp, everything gets dusty, and there are bugs. We keep the yard kept up and do what we can to limit bugs in the common area. I recommend a 4x4 although I don’t own one my self. The roads are usually decent, but the weather has a lot to do with roads in the forest.

Hippie Haux

35mi from Ponce Inlet · 12 sites · Tents, RVs · Oviedo, FL

Hippie Haux – A Quiet Forest Spot Near the Coast Hippie Haux sits on about five acres of mixed oak forest with a few soft, rolling clearings. It’s tucked right near town but feels quiet and tucked away, and you’re only about 45 minutes from the beach. The land has a relaxed, rustic feel—simple, natural, and easy to settle into. The camping area isn’t divided into marked sites. Instead, there’s an open clearing where you can choose your own spot. There’s room for roughly 6–8 setups, so it works well for tents, car camping, vans, hammocks, and pop-ups. I also have a small trailer available to rent if you’d like something more comfortable, and there’s a raised platform you can set up on as well. You’ll find the basic comforts here: a fire pit, picnic tables, drinking water, electricity, a compost toilet, and an outdoor shower. There’s a simple communal kitchen too, plus easy parking. Fires are allowed as long as someone stays with them. Pets and kids are welcome. The land gets regular visits from deer, owls, hawks, armadillos, squirrels, and the occasional curious bunny. At night, the sky opens up enough for great stargazing. There’s a small herbal garden on site, and a yoga deck tucked under the trees for morning stretches or a quiet sit in nature. I usually have fresh farm eggs available as well. If you’re looking for something low-key, close to nature, and not overly manicured, this spot tends to be a good fit. It works for solo campers wanting some peace, families who want room for kids to explore, and anyone passing through on their way to the coast or springs. The energy of the land is gentle and grounding—simple, earthy, and easy to relax into.

Loved staying here. You're surrounded by trees and really feel like you're in nature. Ana and her family were super accommodating. Would love to come back

Weekend Trip to Roots ReTREEt in Old Florida

What a great spot, just make sure to read everything about getting there and avoid the sand road!! Jay was great, we are just shy of 45’ and were able to swing in and get comfortable. Nice country style setting but close to entertainment and beach. Thanks Jay!!

Kenny was a great host. Excellent communication. The reviews i read said it was hard to find, but we had no problem. Trust your gps. It is very secluded. We stayed with our hauler and motorcycles. Worked out great for us. The shower is well water. Definitely NOT drinkable, but it will cool you down on a hot day.

Nice concrete pad which is super helpful in FL rainy season. There are no RV parks in NSB with concrete pads so this was a nice option for us while we were in FL to work on our house. Liz and Jay were super helpful and we would stay here again. Thank you for hosting.

Weekend Trip to Tangerine Hideaway

We had a nice time at Tangerine Hideaway. Our campsite was very spacious and the outdoor showers were a nice touch. The campsite was tucked away and felt secluded. While we tent camped, there were plenty of sites with hookups for RVs. They were very accommodating of our late check in time. I would recommend this spot for anyone in the area!
