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.
The land is close to 180 miles of local kayak trails, a 10 minute drive from beautiful walking trails, and about an hour from the beach. We offer a rustic composting toilet, a heated outdoor shower, and a simple outdoor kitchen zone with a sink and stovetop.
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.

Come enjoy a quiet getaway at Healing Tree Homestead. Our 5 acres is close enough to I-75 and in-town amenities to be convenient but far enough away to offer a peaceful rest from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tent site has a clear view of the large pond and property, and the RV site is tucked between a banana circle and the nursery. The On-Site RV is parked under the trees for cool shade. We’re a working homestead that’s constantly growing and changing, and there are sheep, goats, chickens, a dog, cats and a bunch of kiddos, but we all have our own spaces away from the RV and tent campsites. Part of the property is a nursery, part of it is a young orchard, and most of it is used to free range our livestock. We work and live on site. If you would like to participate in feeding animals, planting trees or helping us prepare garden beds, we’d welcome the company. *Please note that we live off a dirt road that’s very bumpy and rural.

Flat, soft grass. We came to watch the meteor shower and the few street lights in the neighborhood was a bit sad. But thanks to cloud cover I didn't see many anyway.
The ponies were cute and the pond was a vibe. Would camp again if I was in the area.

My first hipcamp and it was way beyond my expectations. This place was lovely. We had a quite spot in the back among the trees and animals. Plenty of green grass and no fresh air. The gentlemen hosting were so helpful and made great suggestions. Electric and water right at site. Since no sewer there is a clean private restroom with shower just a few feet away. Beach, restaurants and grocery within 10 min drive. Will definitely come again.

Beautiful quiet property in the woods, lovelier than many state parks I’ve been in (Get a space in the back). And yet a quick 10 min and you’re on a great swim beach with lots of shells.

The landscaping was immaculate as was the lots. They are knowledgeable and resourceful and caring. Rachel grew plants that I would consider exotic and neverbeforeseen in my book. The sky was gorgeous and the moon moves at the perfect arch over their open skies property. And they have a huge beautiful tree, to provide shade. The land is beautifully privatized and boy do they have a fireplace ready to get working! 🤣

Our entire family had a wonderful time at Creekside Retreat this weekend. For the children (ages 4, 5, and 8), every moment felt like an adventure. They kayaked together for the first time and loved exploring nature-- watching birds, turtles, and all the wildlife around them.
The property seemed designed for our enjoyment: a trampoline, the hammocks, the swings, the magical lights that came on at night, and the safe walking paths where kis could explore on their own.
For us parents, it was the perfect escape from the busy city: a peaceful place to disconnect, unwind, and truly enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature.
John is an exceptional host. He was always available to answer questions, guide us around the property's many beautiful areas, and make sure we had everything we needed. His hospitality made our stay effortless and even more enjoyable.
We left feeling refreshed and with wonderful family memories. We highly recommend Creekside Retreat to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.

The place is peaceful. The sites are spread out and picturesque.
To reach the unlabeled farm gate you will pass through a crowded manufactured home and trailer park. Don't worry! The directions are clear. The gate is mock-locked, which wasn't noted in the directions, so it took us a few minutes to realize. We'll retuun next time we take a trip!

We loved our stay at J and P creekside A frame cabin. As a reptile lover I'll probably be the only negative review for not seeing a gator, but there were many tiny lizards that could be observed at any time of day outside playing and chasing eachother. We would love to come back with a larger family group, the place was quite, private, and well maintained. I definitely recommend staying here!

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.

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.
