Flitterbug 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.

Note: Flitterbug Farm is in a rural, agricultural part of South Florida. The setting is peaceful, but it’s also alive with the sounds of farm life and wildlife. You may hear roosters, dogs, owls, frogs, and the usual country activity from nearby neighbors. Many guests find the natural soundscape part of the charm, but we want you to know what to expect.

Other Things to Note:
While the site feels tucked away in nature, this is a rural area and the surrounding neighborhood can occasionally be lively. It’s not unusual to hear the sounds of ATVs or distant gunshots from recreational shooting nearby. Most guests still find the property peaceful, but we want guests to be aware of these occasional rural sounds when choosing to stay.

This was a great spot to park the RV with easy access to Ft. Myers Beach right over the Matanzas Pass Bridge. Be forewarned: the bridge has a steep climb. We used the two bikes that were available in the locked shed, along with helmets. There were 3 beach chairs as well, but we didn't use those. The chain came off one bike, but being in an RV, we had tools to fix it 😉. The bike tires seemed a bit squishy and when I asked Eric if there was a bike pump, he immediately ordered one that was delivered right to the RV the next day. Eric was very responsive to messaging in the Hipcamp app, although he was not on site (we never saw him). The site is right off Main St, which was not busy on the 4th of July weekend, but I can't speak to traffic in the high season or during the week. The site is level with good hookups.

Weekend Trip to Blue Fox Ranch: Lake & Farm Camp
We loved our stay at the Sunset View Camper at Blue Fox Ranch and are already looking forward to returning!
Luiz was friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The ranch is a beautiful property with animals including Bruno the dog, horses, bulls, chickens, and plenty of cows. We even spotted a “swamp puppy” and caught a fish during our stay.
The camper was small but comfortable, with a queen bed, two bunk beds, a fold-out futon, a compact refrigerator, a three-burner stove, dishes, and other essentials. The bathroom was small but functional, and the hot shower was a welcome treat after a day outdoors.
One of our favorite activities was taking the paddle boat out on the water. We spent about an hour exploring, got several bites, and caught a nice small bass. The location is also convenient, with Brighton Bay Casino nearby and plenty of fishing opportunities in the area.
Be sure to bring firewood and supplies for s’mores. The night sky was breathtaking, with countless stars visible in the clear, dark skies. Although there were other campers and tent sites on the property, the ranch still felt peaceful and spacious.
We also recommend bringing apples and carrots for the horses and stopping for supplies before arriving. The nearest Walmart is in Clewiston, about 28 minutes away, though there is a Dollar General just a few minutes down the road.
If you’re looking for glamping, this isn’t it. But if you want a true camping experience surrounded by nature, Blue Fox Ranch

Did get rained out at night but that’s typical Florida this time of year. John is there if you need him but not hovering or anything. Peaceful well kept property with hammocks and docks and sitting areas to enjoy if you wish. Even a bar! Bring your own of course. We will be back and highly recommend it. Just don’t tell anyone!

Where to go
Everglades National Park
If you’re looking to hike or cross a national park off your list, you can’t miss the Everglades. The park occupies mainland Florida’s southernmost region, but is easily accessible from the state’s West Coast. Throughout the park, campers can discover more than 30 species of orchids—not to mention various plants, ecosystems, and birds. Lace up your hiking boots, but don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers.
Myakka River State Park
Characterized by live oaks, Florida’s trademark palm trees, and a river of the same name, Myakka River State Park offers a change of pace and scenery from the Everglades. If you’re a birdwatcher, meander along the birdwalk and keep your eyes peeled for soaring osprey and sunbathing gators. And don’t discount the river itself. You can fish, kayak, and canoe in the Myakka River—and embrace the wonders of Florida’s wetlands.
Along The Gulf Coast
If you’d rather keep close to the coast, Southwest Florida’s beaches follow the Gulf of Mexico and range in both style and scenery. Try the beaches near Naples for a camping getaway that offers access to golf courses, boutiques, and museums. Or, embrace the island life altogether and explore Marco Island, Sanibel Island, or Gasparilla Island. Pitch your tent, park your RV, and settle into your campsite. The water is calling.
When to go
The best time to visit Southwest Florida depends on the nature of your trip. If you want to hike, especially in the Everglades, come during the dry season, from December to March. Not only will the weather cooperate, but you’ll also camp within the window for prime wildlife spotting. If you’d rather improve your chances to see sea turtles, however, camp during the nesting period between May and October.
