Nature lovers will appreciate the two beautiful lakes on the property, which are perfect for youth fishing and kayaking. Additionally, we offer designated tent areas specifically for scout troops and other groups looking to experience the great outdoors in a safe and welcoming environment.

WiFi is available at the store for those who need to stay connected. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to Dead Lakes and the Apalachicola River, with boat ramps and fishing piers available for a memorable angling experience.

Turtle Whisperer Houseboat
3. Turtle Whisperer Houseboat
46mi from Port St Joe · 1 site · Lodging
I am offering short-term rentals of my houseboat this season. It is located on the Apalachicola River, about 1 mile upstream of Neal Landing near Blountstown, and is only accessible by motorboat or paddle vessel. The houseboat is in a fixed location and does not move.
It is furnished with two beds, a futon, and a loft for extra sleeping space, and there is a generator for power. This is a primitive camp, not a luxury resort stay. You must bring gasoline for the generator if you want power. The beds have hygienic mattress covers, but you should bring your own sleeping bag and pillow cover. You can relieve yourself at the boat ramp porta-potty (~1 mile away) or in the composting camp toilet out back.
You must bring bottled drinking water or a Sawyer filter for river water. There is a propane stove/oven, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit out front if you bring wood or collect it. An outside propane instant hot water heater with a shower head and privacy screen is available if you need to get clean and don’t want to hop in the river.
My goal is to offer a unique experience and provide a code to the door for the agreed time frame, not to provide every convenience. I would charge more for each stay if that were the case because it would be a real challenge for me to get to the houseboat and keep it stocked. If you come prepared for a camping trip, you will have a great time; if you come with nothing, you probably will not.
This is my first time renting it out, so all the logistics are not fully sorted yet. I’m willing to talk with potential guests to see if we can work something out if additional amenities or comforts are required.
This is an awesome camp for a hunting or fishing weekend, with enough room for a few friends to relax and enjoy some beers in the evening. This is not a random cash-grab rental property. This is my personal camp retreat, and I only want to share it with people who will be respectful of it and the river. More photos coming soon.

We love this property and the lake is great. Nearby are good stores and bait shops and the neighbors are quiet and respectful. We just spent a week here and how relaxing. Our dogs love it too. The lot is shaded most of the time and the deck is awesome.

The lot is great. We love the privacy and quiet with good fishing and views. We were there during Halloween and got to watch the trick or treaters walk by just before dark. We are already planning to go back.

I've stayed here twice now and I will say under the new management it is a complete 180 from last time. The park is actually kept up with. They were having a farmers market when we showed up. It is super quiet and priced fair. Only issue is they double booked my spot but they had it taken care of within minutes.

I loved the property. The lot is mostly shaded and the dock/deck is wonderful. It was quiet and semi private. Remember to bring a four wheel drive and at least 30' of water hose with a filter (city water) if you plan to drink. Jennifer was awesome and checked in on me at least twice. I will definitely be booking again.
