The campsites however primitive has some real nice extras, like cafe lights in the trees, near by bath house. A huge plus was bringing an extension cord to access electricity at a nearby cabin outlet. Also a great variety of livestock to watch for entertainment.

Had a amazing time at camp champ. Was surprised how much the owners had put into the grounds to truelly make it a amazing place to visit. Will definitely be going back again in the future. The land was amazing and it was great to see kids actually being kids rather than with their eyes glued to screens. Definitely recommend a visit at least once if you want to stay out in the peace and quiet and explore the creek.

I had an absolutely amazing time at Camp Champ! From the moment I arrived, the hosts made me feel welcome with their kindness and top-notch hospitality.

The property itself is beautiful—peaceful, well-maintained, and surrounded by nature. There’s a lot to do, whether you’re looking to relax or get active. I would definitely come back and highly recommend Camp Champ.

This is the absolute best site my kids and I have found within 150 miles of Tampa Bay and I'm sure far beyond!! Kendal is absolutely wonderful. Fast responses to any messages. Very kind, fair and thoughtful. The Grounds are beautiful, a perfect representation of natural Florida. Clean, well maintained great activities for kids and big kids. Basically a mini farm with adorable animals. The fresh eggs are quite frankly the best you'll ever eat. The creek is a wonderful place to cool off and hunt for fossils, shark teeth and maybe even megladon and mammoth artifacts. My daughter found a 12000 - 13000 year old fossilized Giant Armadillo tooth last weekend! You'll not be disappointed

We rented an RV site and brought our 16 foot camper. It was a great site! Picnic table, fire ring, water, electric, and a grey tank hook up! We stayed Thursday-Sunday. Spent time enjoying the animals, communal space, and land. We rented a canoe one day to go up the creek to find fossils with some luck!!! The owner and hosts were extremely responsive and kind. This will be a regular spot for my family and I!

Found this Gem on Hipcamp, and was one of the best camping trips we’ve been on. I have been taking my kids camping since my son was 4. He’s 11, and daughters are 9 and 5. Started off with my car having some issues right as we came in, and Jerry helped us out, and relieved unwanted stress starting off. We were the only ones camping at the time due to a storm that was supposed to blow through.(Didn’t touch us). We had full use of the whole campgrounds. April attended to all of our needs and was very accommodating. Chris and Kendal are the owners, and showed us around their property. They let us pet and feed all of their animals, “Kit Kat” was my favorite little pony. You have to check out “Hamlet”the pig. We canoed, found sharks teeth, fished, played games that they provided, had man hunts in the trails, scavenger hunts, and so much more. There is an outdoor kitchen, very convenient, ATVs for rent, electric hookups, and Hot Water shower facility. . This was my wife and youngest first time camping, and they are hooked. Thank you Chris, Kendal, April, and Jerry! This was a special experience for our family. We will be back. The Glendys

Perfect getaway. Very low key. We enjoyed Camping here and kayaking. The water level was pretty low so it was a challenge getting the kayak down to the water. We found alot of shark teeth! The property manager April was very nice and helpful. We all loved riding around on the trails and also seeing all the animals on the property.

We found this campground last minute and are so happy we did. The location is beautifully secluded with your own stretch of creek. The ambiance was great as it felt very private with limited camp sites available but still a communal feel. Super kid friendly. Lots of games, outdoor prep space, and well cared for animals. Kendal and April were great hosts. We will definitely be back for more fossil hunting and immaculate vibes.

Where to go

Myakka State Forest

Southeast of Venice, Myakka State Forest creates the ultimate ambiance for campers. The forest’s palmetto-surrounded flatwoods set the scene for an exciting—and unique—getaway. You can hike, bike, and ride horses across more than 40 miles of trails. Meanwhile, avid adventures will enjoy the campsite check-in process. You’ll reach Myakka State Forest’s backcountry campsites by hiking, canoeing, or kayaking to your Florida campground.

Myakka River State Park

Continue your tour of the Myakka River at Myakka River State Park. You’ll not only catch a glimpse of the trademark river, but may spot a variety of wildlife, from osprey to alligators to turtles. The river runs through a range of landscapes, so you can easily admire and engage with Florida’s astounding biodiversity. Keep both your bathing suit and hiking boots handy for any and all spontaneous adventures.

Oscar Scherer State Park

Not far from Venice, Oscar Scherer State Park changes with the seasons. Birdwatchers have the best chance to spot bald eagles in the winter months, while fishermen should test their luck in the summer season. From your RV campsite with water and electric hookups, you can meander across 15 miles of trails, either by foot or bike pedal. No matter where you look—at the sky, in the water, or at nature—you’re guaranteed an incredible view.

When to go

Who doesn’t love sunshine in the wintertime? Unfortunately, everyone has the same idea and flocks to Florida’s coast during the cold months. Summertime, however, comes with hurricane threats and scorching temperatures. For the city’s least crowded—but still temperate—climate, avoid the two extremes. Fall and spring maintain ideal hiking weather, a reduced chance of storms, and crowds at their most bearable.
