It was great to have a well lighted dock to tie up our boat. The campsite was clean and kept up very well. Alondra’s place is very special indeed. Neighbors were all friendly and helpful. Alonda was available for our questions. I’m grateful Alondra gave us the opportunity to enjoy her very special beautiful piece of heaven on the spectacular Homosassa Springs of Florida.

Weekend Trip to Homosassa Springs RV Site

Great spot for kayaking and enjoying the local nature. Spot was a great fit for our 28ft camper with one slide out. Make sure you have 50amp hook ups as we forgot the 30/50 conversion and had to get it from tractor supply last min but thats my fault. This beautiful space is a diamond for sure. This place will not disappoint.

Very peaceful 🙏 super close to everything loved being able to access the springs right from the dock, wish it was cleaned up a bit more like the plants cut back so we could utilize the dock to swim and hang out but the bugs were a bit much , we were able to doc our boat which was awesome and our paddle boards . Lovely time and we will book again 😊 thank you for sharing your lovely site

Amazing property! This type of old costal Florida is becoming difficult to experience specifically in the area of the site. Wonderfully wildlife viewing, birds of all types especially sea/costal birds. Kayaking and fishing are world class as good as it gets anywhere along the gulf. The host is super nice and easy going. We enjoyed spending time and talking with him. You will not see many sites like this.

We were honored to be Foster’s first guests. He was an interesting and charming host. The camping site is next to his house, which is on stilts and he allows guests to use the second floor, which has great views across the marshes. The property itself is very isolated and peaceful. There is a waterfront park to launch kayaks about a 5 minute walk. We really enjoyed our time here. The property itself is a work in progress so there is some work to be done, but you don’t see it when you are looking out over the marshes. There is a Walmart and other shops a few mins away. We would recommend and will be back soon

We loved camping at Alonda’s campsite. Nice shaded lot with easy access and hookups. There was outside dining and nice packed gravel which kept inside of camper clean. The amenities offered were great. We could use back deck by canal and also use of kayaks were a fun activity. We enjoyed a nice relaxing holiday weekend stay. Definitely would come back and stay again.

Great site great location. Everything was as expected. The area is gorgeous and site was close to everything a person needed to do. I was there in the beginning of May and the deer flies were a pain in the ass but the area made up for the inconvenience

We loved the place....so quiet and serene. Easy to pull in our 33 ft trailer. The water is crystal clear and we sat on the dock for hours watching the fish jump and the ducks swim by. We even saw a baby manatee ! Used the kayak and visited the swimming area and saw a few more manatees. The site is located in the front yard under trees and very private. The dock is around the back of the property. It's close to everything so if you forgot something....there is a store nearby for you.

Weekend Trip to Homosassa Springs RV Site

We absolutely loved Alonda’s site. It is in a residential area but we still felt like we had our privacy. The site is level, had 2 hoses for us to use and outdoor lighting which really helped as we were setting up at dusk. The water is a short walk away and we enjoyed having coffee on the deck and eventually getting on our kayak to check out the springs. We borrowed hers once and used our own the other. It’s a short paddle to the head spring but it was very busy with boaters (this was around noon). Head out in the morning for a quieter experience. We did this on our second day and it was so much better. Watched a mama manatee nurse her calf. It was incredible! We would love to return back to Alondra’s site for a peaceful retreat!

site was nice, shaded, and quiet even though it sits on the road in front of her home. Alonda was very responsive and helpful. she offers kayaks, paddle boards and floats to use as well as chairs on her dock for relaxing. the dock is a quick walk to behind the host’s home and sits on a quiet cove. it was a very peaceful stay and we saw a manatee while kayaking. we would definitely stay again!

We had a pleasant stay. The site was clean and mostly felt private. We didn’t use the dock or kayaks but they were a short walk away behind their house. Very close to Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. Be sure to see Lu the Hippo there. We were surprised to see a hippo at a state park, but he is an honorary Florida state resident. He over 65 and is oldest one on record.
