Great spot! Our dog was allowed off leash in Jolene's fully fenced, beautiful backyard with a saltwater pool and she allows guests to use the pool. Direct access to waterways and free use of kayaks or canoe. We spent some time with Jolene by the pool and she is a delightful host. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Star Campground

My daughters and I stayed at Brittany's spot for the three day weekend and loved it. The space was clean and Brittany was such an incredible hostess! The amenities are great. The bathroom was immaculate, the water was clean thanks to the ro filters, the property is well kept. There was even a barrel sauna, could plunge and washer and dryer, but didn't end up using any of them. We also got to feed the chickens, the cows and donkeys were off somewhere else but the chickens came running! I'd highly recommend this spot and if I plan to be in the Fy Myers area again I wouldn't hesitate to book this one again!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Star - Sauna Cold Plunge

I had an amazing stay at this lovely campsite! The host was incredibly friendly, responsive, and made sure I had everything I needed. The lot was clean, well-maintained, and felt very safe, which gave me great peace of mind during my visit. One of my favorite parts of the stay was the beautiful bamboo tree on the property—it added such a peaceful and scenic touch to the surroundings. My two dogs absolutely loved the freedom of exploring the area and enjoyed all the nice walks we were able to take. Overall, I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Thanks again for providing such a great experience—I look forward to returning!
