47mi from Port Charlotte · 6 sites · Tents · Labelle, FLFlitterbug Farm is home to a collection of majestic oak trees covered in spanish moss, ferns, and flowering vines. The oak trees loom high over a glittering pond, which is great for swimming during the summer months when the water is high. Tropical fruit trees, vegetables, herbs, and flowers decorate our gardens while chickens and bees wander the land. Expect beautiful stars, local wildlife such as owls and chameleons, an outdoor shower, and a "hippie hot tub" powered by a campfire. Sunsets on Flitterbug Farm are truly epic.
The land is close to 180 miles of local kayak trails (we rent kayaks!), a 10 minute drive from beautiful walking trails, and about an hour from the beach. We offer a rustic composting toilet, a heated outdoor shower, and a simple kitchen with a sink and stovetop.
Note: We are in a rural, agricultural area—not isolated wilderness. There are noises that you should be aware of. During the early morning/day, you may hear red-tailed hawks, roosters, goats, horses, dogs, agricultural equipment, traffic on Route 29, and sometimes loud mariachi music on Sundays from our neighbors' bi-weekly horse events. At night you may also hear roosters, dogs, and occasional traffic/planes/equipment, and you will almost certainly hear wildlife noises such as barn owls, barred owls, frogs, crickets, and cicadas. We offer complimentary earplugs for light sleepers, but also want you to be aware that the Everglades region and farm-y South Florida are not perfectly quiet zones.
