7 nights at Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

Honey’s Place is a lovely jungle oasis in the heart of an urban neighborhood. John was a great host and very responsive. He has created a little piece of paradise and made us feel completely welcome. We made trips to Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, South Beach, and Miami downtown. The chickens and peacock were very friendly. We loved this unique place!

9 nights at Flying Frog Ranch

This was my first time using this app, so I didn’t know what to expect… and let me say that it far exceeded my expectations! Vito the owner couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating! I had an issue that was a million percent my fault… I cut the corner too tight coming in and got stuck in the ditch. If this happens to you, just call Priority Towing and they’ll come get you out the way you went in!!! Vito was so helpful throughout that whole thing! The property is beautiful and peaceful. If you have dogs, there is a very well-kept backyard, but you can also walk them on the sidewalk of the main road. Would most definitely recommend this very cool and hip camp!

Weekend Trip to Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

This campsite was an absolute dream! It felt like discovering a private oasis tucked away in nature. The private lagoon was stunning — peaceful, and perfect for a swim or a relaxing canoe ride. Having our own canoe to explore the water made the experience even more special. The evening was just as magical, sitting by the fireplace under the stars. It was quiet, cozy, and the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect. The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they put a lot of care into maintaining the place — everything was spotless and thoughtfully set up. If you’re looking for a serene getaway surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot. Can’t wait to return! 🌿🔥🛶

Honey’s Place is a true hidden gem — a magical tropical oasis right in the middle of Miami. The lush surroundings felt like a little paradise escape, and we especially loved watching the sunset on the pond from the boat — it was pure magic. Everything was peaceful, welcoming, and beautifully kept. We’d definitely come back and can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway in the city!

I absolutely recommend this hipcamp. The hosts- Jose & Eileen are soo friendly, you feel like family. The area is very nice-super quite & safe. (Double metal gates) It is a little tight to get in but, Jose would even back it in for you. 💯 % Recommend this place. Close to Marlins Stadium-Loan Depot Park- & it's close to Hard Rock Stadium.

Weekend Trip to Honeys Place: Urban Camping Oasis

Honey's place is an amazing little oasis in the heart of Miami. I was not expecting it to be as beautiful and serene as it was, but it exceeded all expectations!! John is not one of those hosts that is snooping around your campsite, but he is always reachable via message, and that makes him a great caretaker. The grounds are very clean and the location is within a 15 - 30 min drive to most attractions or major locations in Miami. My wife, mother in law, and I, loved our time at honey's place and can't wait to go back!!!

Eileen and Jose were lovely! Eileen met us at the front gate of the driveway when we arrived. She was very kind and welcoming. Their home is absolutely beautiful with a lovely brick driveway and a beautiful gravel spot. The area of their home was one I felt safe in. Eileen and Jose made sure we had everything we needed to make our way night stay on the way to Miami a good one. The driveway is a little narrow but nonetheless, we fit and had a wonderful stay! Would highly recommend Jose and Eileen's spot!

Amazing! John has a really special place here and we certainly enjoyed our stay. This was such a peaceful retreat away from the hustle of the city. It is well located for day trips in the city, but also has anything you may need close by. John was incredibly kind and welcoming. I so appreciated waking up to the water and palms outside our windows. We would happily stay again!
