Cayo Costa Primitive Campground

Ready for an adventure? Just getting to this campground is a little bit epic

Campground in Cayo Costa State Park (48mi)

Early morning shelling along the southern end of the Gulf beach can't be beat. 

One of the unexpected surprises of this island are the bike trails. We brought our own bikes on the ferry for an additional fare of $10 each but it also possible to rent bikes on the island from the camp store. 

Gorgeous beaches on the north and west side of the island. 

Sunsets from the beach on Cayo Costa are glorious.

The view from just off where the Tropic Star Ferry drops you off on the island. We saw dolphins in these waters are the ferry pulled up the dock.

White-sand beach camping and sunsets over the Gulf await campers in Sarasota.

         🌈 Everyone Welcome 🌈

As a family who has towed campers across the US a couple times utilizing Hip Camp we know others will appreciate the ease of pulling into our little 1 acre urban oasis just a couple miles off the interstate in Floridas Coolest City.

It’s an ideal location to explore St Pete as we are right between the beaches and downtown (5 miles to St Pete beach, 4 miles to downtown -$10 Uber ride), Sarasota and/or Tampa. Ours is an urban spot based on ease, safety and location, not a wilderness "experience" 

We have a paved circular driveway overlooking our beehives, henhouse and seasonal garden where you’ll find a table with chairs and plenty of space to cookout and enjoy a quiet evening with a great sunset by the blowing bamboo. 

This is one of South St Pete’s oldest neighborhoods- it surrounds an active former PGA golf course and lively country club. It’s a great place for safely biking or walking with green spaces, tennis courts, playgrounds and dog parks nearby.

There are many owls, raptors, green parrots, purple martins and osprey overhead as we’re just a few blocks from the beautiful Boyd Hill Nature Preserve. - not to be missed!

The Pinellas Trail is just a short bike ride away too and can lead you to downtown. It is a cyclists favorite!

We love our city - happy to give recommendations.

Welcome to our home! Please park to the RIGHT by the henhouse on the driveway

We LOVE our bees! (and we REALLY love their honey)

Elderberry strengthens the immune system, fights seasonal allergies, aids in digestion and has anti-inflammatory properties. We make it on site in small batches using our citrus honey & all organic products

This property is home to a farm/nursery operation and has a large pond on the west side.  The pond is Spring-fed at the headwaters of Marsh Branch Creek which begins at our property and flows West about five miles in to Tampa Bay.

Property is home to a farm with hundreds of fruit trees- Lychee, Mango, Starfruit, Papaya, Guava). Red Mombin, and thousands of banana plants.

 Fishing can be great, wildlife and bird watching too.

Fenced and gated for safety, this old historic nursery property has good vibes and plenty to offer.  Until you see it - you really may not understand.

Parts of property are wide open, other areas are rugged and difficult to walk through including some wetland areas.

The nursery has plenty of trees, and some fields -the large pond is surrounded by cattails and marsh/wetlands and has fish (Bass, Tilapia, Sunfish, Catfish).

Several species of wildlife have been seen on the property.

We think the property is lovely, and definitely want you to enjoy your camping experience!
