Welcome to the "Wild and Scenic Myakka River"!
Our 20 acre ranch has everything from Longhorn cattle, to a white sand beach. We like to say our sand is like Siesta Key, except it's...in a swamp. Our property is not too far upstream from the Myakka State park, and parking is never a problem. ;-)
We have a beautiful homestead, and you have the choice of a furnished camper with water and power hookups in our pasture, or 2 primative tent or RV spots on the edge of a beautiful stand of Live Oak trees and Sabal palms along the river.
We have a porta potty on site that is regularly maintained.
Bring your family, bring your dog, bring your friends.....and don't forget to bring a fishing pole!

50 ft fifth wheel
With pets
Dominic was very responsive, helpful, and a super nice host. We're in a 39 ft fifth wheel with a long bed truck, so we can't turn worth a darn. Getting into the site was a challenge for us mostly due to immoveable objects (lamp post, storage tent, tree stump), but we also aren't very good at backing in. Dominic did recommend we back in through the property gate to be at the proper angle to get into the site, but we weren't confident we could do that given the narrow road & our long turn radius. Once in the site, all was wonderful. Shorter rigs likely have no problem. Great FHU site. Trees provide shade during most of the day. Very quiet atmoshere, even during evenings. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

I loved camping at Becca and Kary’s spot, this is now my favorite camping place yet! I loved how quiet it was and serene- it felt like I was the only one there. My dog loved being able to swim in the river. Lots of time spent riverside sunbathing and reading. The porta potty was clean and convenient. The only sounds to be heard were birds and night sounds mostly, I did hear some moo’ing and a dog barking a little bit but it didn’t bother me at all… the whole weekend was SO PEACEFUL. I didn’t want to leave.

We loved our stay at Rebecca and Kary's place. So peaceful, dark nights for stargazing. Kayaking on the head of the mighty Myakka was serene. The porta-potty was clean and firewood was supplied by their son. We will definitely be back.

This place was beautiful! Otter neighbors were adorable and hungry (I watched one hunt, catch and eat at least 3 river eels). Becky and Kary are awesome hosts and I had an amazing, relaxing weekend!
