🏕️ Sip & Sage Co. – The Bougie Backyard Getaway
Not your typical Hipcamp. Not off-grid. Not remote. And not gonna lie—we don’t have goats or a mountain view... BUT we do have privacy screens wrapped around the whole space, a tree-covered backyard oasis, and one heck of a setup that’ll make you forget you're camping in a residential neighborhood. (Bonus: you can actually sleep at night without wondering if that noise was a raccoon or a serial killer.)
This vintage camper may be small, but she’s mighty. Outfitted with a futon bed + a thick 6" foam mattress, she’s cozy enough for two—but let’s be real, you’re probably coming here to escape your kids, your job, or your loud in-laws. It’s giving "she shed meets sassy staycation."
Inside:
❄️ Brand new 10,000 BTU A/C – You will get cold. You’ve been warned.
🧊 Small fridge for your bubbly or snacks (no cooking inside the camper though—this isn’t Top Chef).
Outside:
🚽 A real camping toilet with a tank (none of that bag-it-and-hope-for-the-best stuff).
🚿 Cold-water outdoor shower + a vintage clawfoot soaking tub (hello boho luxury).
🌬️ Mister fans & shaded sails – keeping it cool, literally.
🍹 A full outdoor kitchen & tiki bar for mixing drinks or just feeling like you're on vacation.
🛋️ Outdoor couch/daybed for sun naps, deep thoughts, or binge-watching if you add the optional outdoor TV setup (extra fee applies—TVs don’t like dew).
This space was designed by a mom who just needed a dang break. So Sip & Sage was born: part retreat, part glampfest, part wild idea turned into a whole vibe. There’s no bears, no bugs in your sleeping bag, and definitely no judgment if you show up with a bottle of wine and a face mask or bong and shots.
(No parties though keep it low key)
📍Located on a quiet street in a safe residential area—you might hear a lawn mower or a giggling neighbor, but you won’t hear police sirens or wild party animals (unless it's you).
So if you’re a camping newbie, a glamping goddess, or just someone who needs a little joy sprinkled on their week—this one’s for you. 💫

📍Located on a quiet street in a safe residential area—you might hear a lawn mower or a giggling neighbor, but you won’t hear police sirens or wild party animals (unless it's you).
So if you’re a camping newbie, a glamping goddess, or just someone who needs a little joy sprinkled on their week—this one’s for you. 💫

Amazing experience for our new years eve anniversary under the stars by the fire! Fantastic set up and very user friendly. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and the site was perfect. They had coconuts that we were able to drink fresh out of and we got an amazing tour of the farm! Our dog loved it and had a blast playing with muffin and brave. Would definitely recommend this for an option to unplug from the work week. The stars were incredible and just what we were hoping to see for our 1st anniversary!

We had a good experience; the campsite is spacious and has plenty of shade. The bathroom was clean and close to our tent. John was very attentive. We had a problem with our inflatable mattress and had to buy a new one, but luckily, and very conveniently, there's a Walmart only 20 minutes away. The only thing we didn't like is that for us, the camping experience is about connecting with nature, but the constant noise of passing cars disrupted that connection. We would come back, but to a different campsite. Overall, we enjoyed it.

This spot was exactly what we were looking for. The amenities were great, electric hookup, water, and a bathroom with a shower, which made the stay very comfortable.
The farm itself was adorable. The horses were beautiful, and we loved spotting a peacock wandering around the property. It was a short drive to the beaches, yet still far enough away to enjoy wonderfully dark skies for stargazing at night.
We also enjoyed having nighttime fires, with firewood conveniently available for purchase on-site. Overall, it was a perfect little getaway for my partner, our pets, and me. We’d absolutely stay again.

John, his wife Patty, and son John are all so wonderful! Extremely family friendly with lots of activities if you have kids, and REAL dog lovers. If you're looking for the perfect peaceful relaxing getaway for ALL your family members look no further.
Dogs are allowed off leash and our dog felt very much at home and happy to have so many new friends! We were so at peace we extended our stay. We had 2 different sites that I'd strongly recommend.
The Hideaway was stellar and felt like a literal hideaway! Cute and tucked away with a shady spot with a hammock. Shadie Oaks was exactly how it sounds, wonderful and shady and an extra nice big space with plenty of room in the sun! Both spaces have a fire pit, some chairs, and a picnic table.
You're not far from town to get more supplies or ice, but it feels like you're out in the middle of nowhere. Potable water isn’t available, but electric is provided and an amazing outdoor shower! Very nice bathroom as well. Highly recommend getting wood from them too. Got a huge bundles and well worth the price.
It was a very pleasant stay. If peace, quiet, and relaxation is what you're looking for you've found THE place you NEED to stay. It helped going out on the river a few times as well. The kayak rentals are VERY reasonable. We had fun taking our dog out on the tandem kayak! Fixed us right up and we're looking forward to our next trip because we plan on visiting again in the future!

Took my friend who had only been camping once in 84 years- she's still talking about what an incredible place it was. The A-frame has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Can't wait to return!

Amazing campsite! Very secluded with excellent privacy. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to accommodate us and our kids. The site was clean, well-maintained, and cozy, and our kids had a blast with all the campsite had to offer. Our kids love fishing, so this was an awesome spot for them. We also purchased the firewood add-on and were given plenty, which was much appreciated. We will definitely recommend this place to friends and look forward to coming back again.

My family had a great time at John’s camp and we were all sad to be leaving. The place was clean and well stocked. John was friendly and there if you needed him but, we never felt like we were being watched. My husband and I loved being able to take our daughter on the kayaks (which were a great price), my daughter loved the trampoline and plethora of swings, and our dog loved being able to lounge on the deck with the occasional visit from John’s dogs. Overall could not recommend this place enough if you’re looking for a quiet getaway especially if you enjoy being on the water.

Weekend Trip to Tres Lagos Farm & Garden
I love coming to Trs Lagos! The land is beautiful, George is a wonderful host, and the Scamper is a well kept and comfortable camper. The bed is probably the most comfortable I've slept in. Thanks again for another great night!

John's property is very nice. We had a great time with our family. The facilities were comfortable though we didn't take showers. We were able to get firewood from John each night for our fire. Our kids had a great time with the short hike to see a camel, Highland cattle and an alpaca that live on a neighbor's farm.

The best forest camping near Punta Gorda guide
Where to go
Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park
Just a few miles south of Punta Gorda, Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park spans over 45,000 acres of natural wilderness and over 100 miles of shoreline. It presents an excellent opportunity to observe such wildlife as manatees, dolphins, and wading birds in mangrove forests, marshes, and pine flatwoods. Kayaks and canoes are the best way to explore the park’s natural beauty. Visitors can explore other areas, but they are remote and primitive, so stick to the trails for cycling and hiking. Several nearby RV resorts offer full hookups for water and electricity, plus boat launches and pools.
Myakka River State Park
Myakka River State Park features a vast wildflower field covered in coreopsis, the state wildflower of Florida. Found at Big Flats Marsh, the yellow blooms are at their most abundant around the middle of May. Canoe, kayak, and fish along the namesake river, or explore miles of hiking and biking trails among pinelands and wetlands. The park also offers wildlife tours by boat and tram. Look out for osprey, limpkins, turtles, and alligators. The park offers six primitive campgrounds for backpackers, including firepits but no potable water. The three larger campgrounds support pet-friendly RV camping with 50-amp service, water hookups, and picnic tables. Some sites have wifi. Laundry, restrooms, and hot showers are here, too.
Oscar Scherer State Park
Easily accessible by major highways and next door to modern housing developments, Oscar Scherer State Park is a natural sanctuary for Florida scrub-jay. The beautiful blue-and-white bird is found only in Florida. The human-made Lake Osprey is a popular spot in summer for freshwater swimming and fishing, catching redfish, bluegill, and largemouth bass. In the winter, bald eagles return to nest here. Look for bobcats, gopher tortoises, and Eastern cottontail rabbits, too. Both tent and RV camping are offered here, including full hookups for electricity and water. Other amenities include grills, picnic tables, playgrounds, accessible restrooms, hot showers, and laundry facilities.
When to go
Like elsewhere in Florida, year-round camping near Punta Gorda is very possible. Many RV resorts with modern amenities can be found throughout the area, providing convenient 50-amp hookups, dump stations, and swimming pools. Temperatures are milder during the winter months, from December to February, making a more comfortable environment for outdoor activities. Migratory birds are another reason to visit in winter. Springtime brings wildflowers, like at Myakka River State Park. Camping during summer can be hot and humid, plus it is hurricane season, so prepare accordingly with plenty of water and other supplies.
