The old barn is now where most of the birds roost. The Greasy Skillet is now a big chicken coop.

Welcome to our little rejuvenating heaven. This is what we want to offer you, a 2.5 acres of raw nature where you can relax, rejuvenate and enjoy the best that water and nature have to offer in Northwest Florida.
You will be staying in a historic 32 ft 1954 New Moon trailer, the exact copy of the one in the movie The Long Long Trailer with Lucille Ball. Nothing less !
And don't forget to bring your kayaks, paddle boards, bikes and hiking shoes as there is a lot to do around here.
Let's start with your accommodation:
THE LONG LONG TRAILER
If you ever wanted to stay in a vintage camper with a history, then this is it. You will be staying in a 32 ft 1954 New Moon trailer. The previous owner bought it in California and claimed it was one of the trailers used in the movie with Lucille Ball called The Long Long Trailer. We like to believe that we own a piece of American culture.
The camper has water (cold only), electricity and a split ac unit. It has been partially renovated to keep the original feel and features as much as possible.
It's an old lady that survived time, so we ask that you take good care of her as well to continue the legacy.
BATHROOM - TOILET
Inside the camper, there is a small bathroom with a sink, a small tub, and a toilet but for number ones only. For hot showers and number two's you will have access to a separate shared bathroom with an indoor toilet and a spacious enclosed outdoor shower. (See pictures)
BEDROOM - BEDDING
We just replaced the mattress with a brand new queen size memory foam mattress. So far everybody likes it. We only use cotton sheets for best comfort. There are 2 nightstands on each side of the bed with lamps and cellphone charger plugs.
The bedroom has its own entrance door and a room divider can provide privacy from the rest of the camper.
KITCHEN - APPLIANCES
A comfortable kitchen area with a large sink and lots of cabinets. It's equipped with a microwave oven, toaster oven, hot water kettle and a gas stove. We also provide basic cookware, bowls and plates. Basic seasoning (good quality foods, always), paper towels, dish towels, sponges, dish soap. The cherry on the cake is the original 1954 fridge that is still working great.
CLOSET
A 2-door closet with hangers and a shelf and 3 storage compartments above the bed offer plenty of space for your clothing.
CLEANING STUFF
Basic cleaning products and gears are at your disposal inside the camper. We privilege non harsh chemical products to preserve human, animal and plant well-being.
OUTDOOR SPACE
In front of the camper you will find your own private area to chill out after a day of leisure in nature. You have a small table and 2 chairs as well as 2 comfortable armchairs. An umbrella is also provided.
YARD - FIRE PIT
We are still working on developing the property. Many parts are still undeveloped but every day we improve something. We have set up a fire pit with some lounge chairs around that you are welcome to enjoy when permitted by county regulations.
HOT TUB AND LOUNGE AREA
We just finished setting up the hot tub which is now ready to be enjoyed for an extra fee. Since it's an old model, and it is solar heated, you would have to tell us in advance the time you want to use it and we'll set it up at the right temperature for you. We allow one use per day for one hour.
We have also an area with 2 lounge chairs if you want to soak in the sun during the day.
PROPERTY ACCESS;
We live in a very rural area that you can only access by a dirt road. The roads are well maintained and regular 2WD cars are fine. If you come from I-10 / Chipley via 77, count about 3 minutes of dirt road. If you come from CR20, it's about 10 minutes of dirt road.
SPRING-FED LAKE
Our property is located on the biggest spring-fed lake in Northwest Florida - Porter Lake. We do not have a view of the lake but we are less than 2 minutes away from the boat ramp where you can swim, launch your kayaks/canoes/paddle boards, and of course your motor boat as well. Many other lakes are very close by, just minutes away. If you like fishing, then you found your perfect haven spot.
GORGEOUS EMERALD SPRINGS
We are just less than 10 minutes away from 5 of the most beautiful cold water springs on the famous Econfina creek. Each site offers a parking area, picnic settings and easy access to the springs. You can swim there and also launch your own kayaks or rent them on site.
YOUR NEIGHBORS
We live in a camper on the same property about 20 yards distant from the New Moon trailer. But you will have all the privacy you need. We also have a few full time neighbors around the property, the rest of the lake community are family vacation homes. It means that outside the holidays it is a pretty quiet neighborhood.

Please email us if you need more information.
We hope we'll have the pleasure to welcome you soon.

It is a nice campground! Some sites woth Full hookups ( ours) and some without. 2 pretty ponds to walk around. It you love to canoe or kayak, there is a wonderful boat ramp to the Chipola River. Though the sites are rather close together, it was very quiet. Also there is no shade. Nice vibe. Fun to visit the town on the Dead Lakes ( I cannot even attempt to spell it!) Also easy to. visitPort St. Joe and Cape San Blas. ( Dog friendly beach)

Such a fun experience! We got to watch Elizabeth milk the cows and ask lots of questions. Purchased all kinds of homemade items in the farm store. The dogs were great company and came by for belly rubs and naps by our campfire. Very close to Florida Caverns State Park. Will definitely camp there again if we are in the area!

We loved tent camping at Elizabeth’s farm! Such a special experience for my 5 year old. Best campsite option for families with little ones looking to learn a thing a or two and enjoy some delicious fresh dairy products

Dead Lakes was so peaceful, and beautiful! Just enough outdoor lighting to find your way, but no so much as to interfere with stargazing! We were able to peacefully car camp, with access to bathrooms at all hours. The bathrooms were clean, and well stocked! The property was just beautiful!!

Lots of room for our 36 foot fifth wheel and truck. Easy in and out access. The utilities are as stated. It is basically in a back yard setting. It was nice to have our camper covered. I found it a little more crowded than what the pictures showed. But I would definitely stay there again.

Such a peaceful location and the perfect launch point to the beaches around Destin. Wayne was open with his suggestions for great beaches for kids and even let us use his ice machine.

We love this property and the lake is great. Nearby are good stores and bait shops and the neighbors are quiet and respectful. We just spent a week here and how relaxing. Our dogs love it too. The lot is shaded most of the time and the deck is awesome.

The lot is great. We love the privacy and quiet with good fishing and views. We were there during Halloween and got to watch the trick or treaters walk by just before dark. We are already planning to go back.

I've stayed here twice now and I will say under the new management it is a complete 180 from last time. The park is actually kept up with. They were having a farmers market when we showed up. It is super quiet and priced fair. Only issue is they double booked my spot but they had it taken care of within minutes.

Very nice site! Covered is a nice plus in the Florida heat/sun! Full hook up including sewer! Wayne is a great host and answers any questions very quickly. Site is quiet, and convenient to our activities across the bay (we went into Miramar Beach/Destin). We plan to stay here again! Highly recommend this site!

I loved the property. The lot is mostly shaded and the dock/deck is wonderful. It was quiet and semi private. Remember to bring a four wheel drive and at least 30' of water hose with a filter (city water) if you plan to drink. Jennifer was awesome and checked in on me at least twice. I will definitely be booking again.

We really enjoyed the RV spot hosted by Wayne. We didn’t really need for anything, but Wayne was always available if we did. He is a great host. No complaints here. We will definitely consider another stay in the not so distant future. 🙂

Wayne was a great host and takes good care of the property. The covered parking is bigger in person and leaves plenty of room for outdoor picnicking next to your trailer rain or shine. Being able to pull through in and out was very nice. Also there's almost no light pollution so the stars really come out at night!
