The best bell tent rentals in Southwest Florida

Weekend Trip to Serenity Acres Glamping Retreat

I loved this place! Perfectly taken care of and so clean. The bed was so comfortable. I had to peek at the mattress to figure out what it was and I will be getting one for my house.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Acres Glamping Retreat

What a mesmerizing weekend get away. I'll start by saying that A.J was very responsive to all my questions (and I had many); he was very informative and understanding to all my concerns before getting into the property. The place was just so beautiful and peaceful that we decided not to leave the property at all. We walked around and found a nice pond with a "teenage" alligator; we named him "Mr lonely" because well, he was lonely... lol During the morning, we woke up early to see the sunrise, cooked breakfast in the grill, and sat in the hammocks enjoying the lovely scenery and tranquil atmosphere that this place brings. During afternoon hours, we walked around exploring the property; we saw wild rabbits, possums, beautiful butterflies, and of course, “Mr. Lonely; we sat by the pond for a while enjoying the beauty of nature. In the evening, we cooked dinner, sat by the fire pit, made s'mores, enjoyed the clear skies and the weather. Lastly, our dog was in heaven! He ran and wondered around all over the place. We will definitely be back to this lovey unique place.

Had a great time at Serenity Acres. AJ has created a great glamping location for both summer and winter glamping. Everything we needed was provided. As a first time glamper was unsure what was needed but AJ knew and provided it. Looking forward to returning. Dennis

2 nights at Serenity Acres Glamping Retreat

Everything was perfect, and we lucked out with some cool weather. The tent was large but still cozy. We enjoyed exploring the property, which has lots of large oak trees to lie in the shade and open areas to run around The dog loved being off leash, and my 4 year olds had a great first camping experience. They absolutely loved the swings. Thank you, Aj for providing such a magical experience.

3 nights at Serenity Acres Glamping Retreat

I loved the little retreat! It was all that camping is with the luxuries of home. We had A/C during the day, and heat during the cold night. A beautiful rain shower and bathroom. The tent itself is like stepping into a dream bedroom. King sized bed, and he set up a queen sized air mattress for my kids. There was still PLENTY of room for activities. The mini fridge held 3 days worth of fresh food. The keurig was a nice touch. I loved having the option to cook on the fire pit with the grill grate, or in the blackstone as well. All in all a wonderful experience.

The best bell tents in Southwest Florida guide

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.
