Weekend Trip to Community of Consciousness

I had a great time camping here. The land is beautiful, there are birds everywhere, and my campsite was on the edge of a scrub oak grove. It was peaceful and relaxing. Lorelei is a really friendly and helpful host.

1 night at Community of Consciousness

Great location. Very peaceful and quiet. Lorelei met with us upon arrival. Very welcoming and great host! Got to have warm showers at the bath house. Had a fire pit and chairs to just relax! If you love the country you will love this place! Definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

We loved our stay in the camper! The site is located on a farm which was really neat and we were able to see baby chickens and pet pigs! We stayed in a non-fruiting season (just missed starfruit) so we weren't able to get fruit but if you're lucky enough to stay when the trees are fruitful the owner was so kind to share! We slept soundly and accessed the farm by opening and closing the gates at the entrance was easy! There are so many fun things nearby, and not too far from downtown Tampa. Definitely would stay again!

so peaceful & easy to find. beautiful place & kind host

Weekend Trip to Aker Brand Farms

Beautiful piece of land private and peaceful. We’ll be planning another trip in the near future.

Weekend Trip to Cotee River Bend

We loved camping at Cotee River Bend! The tent site was tucked away and private. All amenities were wonderful - fire pit, picnic table, clean bathrooms, and shower. The walk along the river was so peaceful and the chairs in the gazebo were perfect for morning coffee. Spotted birds (an owl!), some fish, and a rabbit. Just what we needed!

2 nights at Cotee River Bend

What a great place to stop for a few nights in our RV. The land was well kept, and had a great woodland area to explore. Was close to New Port Richey (Uber $10). Laura had typed up a list of places to eat which was handy. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

We had the most amazing visit. Having my daughter get to see all the animals and fruit plants and trees. Sit by the lake and see bee hives! Definitely coming back!

6 nights at By the Pond...

It's a fantastic spot. If you're looking for a central Florida type of get away you'll be hard pressed to beat this place. It's quiet, peaceful, birds galore. We spent 7 days here and I could easily spend 7 more. The hosts were great, they basically left us alone (in the best way, they were very attentive, friendly, and helpful). We traveled during spring break and had a beautiful site next to the pond. There's plenty of grocery and other types of stores within a few miles if you need anything but you'd never know it while sitting on site, it's very secluded and private. We'll be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Cedarkirk Camp & Conf. Center

Nice rustic woodsy campsites with full hookups. Has nearby campfire rings with supplied wood. Lithia Springs and Allifia River State Parks nearby within a few miles.

Weekend Trip to Cedarkirk Camp & Conf. Center

The land is expansive and there’s plenty to do and see! The camp sites are very spacious and surrounded by trees which provide a nice amount of privacy. We loved it!

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

Very relaxing atmosphere with indigenous vegetation next to a nice size lake for fishing. Host hospitality is off the charts. Place has a welcoming , relaxed vibe. Perfect for a truck bed tent. My son and I enjoyed our stay & plan to be back soon!

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

It's on a beautiful spring-fed lake. Campsites are spread out, so very peaceful and a very attentive host. You feel like you're far away from it all, yet it's very handy to everything if you need groceries, camp supplies or even a meal in a restaurant. A great getaway.

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

Mike is such a great host and very attentive. I appreciate your help and guidance and we enjoyed our stay. The camper had everything our family needed and we plan on returning

7 nights at Cotee River Bend

I loved that there are only 3 sites on the property, 2 for tents/RVs and 1 tent only, so it's quiet. The tent site is somewhat secluded from the RV sites. I was in a tent and couldn't see the one other occupant who was in an RV. There is a boardwalk that goes out over the dark black water of the Cotee River, and the river is very small at this point. There are pavilions on the boardwalk where one can watch the birds or picnic. The bathrooms and showers were immaculately clean. Laura and JT are so nice and helpful. There is some road noise, but not bothersome. The location was perfect for me. I could drive 30-60 minutes and be in St. Augustine, Tampa, Honeymoon Island or Ft. DeSoto.

2 nights at Cotee River Bend

This camping spot just outside of New Port Richey was perfect for us! We enjoyed kayaking on the Cotee River and exploring the towns of nearby Tarpon Springs as well as New Port Richey. Laura and JR's place is very nice and neatly set up with extremely clean bathrooms (his and hers) and a wonderful shower. All in all, a wonderful hipcamp experience!

1 night at By the Pond...

My family of four spent one night tent camping and had a great stay! Campsite 3 was tucked away from the other sites with plenty of room, close to the toilets and potable water. Mike was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We’ll be sure to go back when the mangoes are in season!

2 nights at Cotee River Bend

My daughter and I felt welcomed and safe. Everything was clean and comfortable. We received helpful local tips, and were generously given access to the pavilion to prep/eat our dinner out of the rain. If we’re back in the area we would definitely stay here again!

4 nights at By the Pond...

Cool funky farm!! We enjoyed our host and the location!

Stay by a lovely pond on 33 acre fruit and ornamental tree nursery property with great vibes.

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!

Cotee River Bend

8 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · New Port Richey, FL

Our RV Campsites are located in a grassy field next to dense woods. Electric and water hookups are included in the RV/Camper sites, but not the Tent Site. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Our newly renovated restrooms on the property have toilets and one shower. A boardwalk takes you along the Cotee River to our open air pavilions with several places to sit and enjoy nature. Cell phone service is not a problem, as we are not that remote (although it sort of feels like we are when you are here) - we are 5 min from downtown New Port Richey, 2 minutes from groceries, gas, restaurants. This beautiful slice of Old Florida is named for the Pithlachascotee River that bends along the back side of the property. Pithlo is the Creek word meaning canoe, and chaskita means to dig or chop out, together signifying "place where canoes are chopped or dug out". Seminoles of this area used canoes dug out from the great cypress trees found along Florida rivers. From the 1980s until 2014, this property was owned by the Cotee River Lions Club. They held a popular monthly pancake breakfast fundraiser in the large pavilion along the river. We purchased this 4.9 acres of land in late 2019. It is now where we live and have a woodworking shop. It has been a magical place for us, with no shortage of wildlife, rich jungle forest, a lazy winding narrow river, and even the occasion river otter sighting. We are grateful to all the humans who have occupied this place over the centuries before us for keeping it as nature intended it. It is our intention to do our part to conserve and protect its natural beauty as long as possible. We hope you find it to be as restful and rejuvenating as we do.
