Weekend Trip to J and P Creekside Retreat

Phenomenal spot!! 10/10 would recommend. Especially creekside A campsite. We basically had the whole back area to ourselves. Very secluded, very quiet. The bathroom was super clean and had AC if you want to sneak in for a quick break from the heat. The outdoor shower was a nice touch. We rented the two man Kayak and went up the river a couple miles. Fish were jumping out the water is was so full of fish. John was an excellent Host and I even offered us to stay a little longer after check out since he didn’t have anyone else coming in after us. We paid for 4 bundles of wood and John’s son damn cut us down a whole tree!!! lol awesome:) we had a blast, definitely lots of mosquitoes for about an hour after the sun goes down being by the river and all but after that clear sky’s and good times. Definitely would recommend any family especially with kids to stay at this campsite. They even had a little trees house for the kiddos to chill in. Very cool. Good WiFi service too. This Memorial Day will be remembered forever. Thanks John!!!

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Taylor’s land was a clean but still natural camping experience. The horses are well kept and cute. We had to change our RV size (our 21’ RV for our 40’ Motor coach) and was no problem at all they were able to accommodate us in a bigger size spot. The area was quiet of outside noises but you can hear the animals at night, even a little owl visit us while we were cooking outside. My dogs and us felt safe and relaxed. Took us around 5 minutes to get to the beach, no traffic, no crowds. I highly recommend you to visit them and stay the night.

Weekend Trip to J and P Creekside Retreat

My mother had two criteria for where we stayed: cold A/C and a soft bed. This place exceeded both expectations beautifully. The bathroom close to the cabin was a plus.

1 night at J and P Creekside Retreat

John's creekside property is a slice of paradise! And John is the ultimate host making sure we felt completely at home on his beautiful property. Love that there are kayaks available, plenty of space to sit,relax, surrounded by beautiful flowers, plants, and birds viewing the creek, not only at our beautiful site but in the large backyard where the outdoor bar, firepit, treehouse, and dock with sundeck were. The half bath was airconditioned and impeccable and the outdoor shower has a privacy fence. Our site even had a hammock, charcoal grill, and plenty of chairs around firepit and tables. A true gem. Perfect for family gatherings!

13 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

This was our last round of camping in Florida before heading north to Georgia, and J&P Creekside Retreat is an awesome place for camping! We have called it “magical” … with the majestic oak trees along the Shell Creek and all kinds of fauna and wildlife near the creek banks. The hosts John and Patty are friendly, kind, helpful, and attentive to any of your needs, and son JJ goes out of his way to keep the grounds so beautiful. If you are looking for a great camping retreat in Southwest Florida, this is the one! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Weekend Trip to J and P Creekside Retreat

We had a relaxing and fun time at J & P’s campground! He has it set up with chairs, picnic tables, and a hammock which is so nice to have all that already there so we could get our camper parked and then chill out and enjoy the peaceful campsite. We were able to use the lights and fan in our camper but the voltage was not strong enough to run our AC. We stayed on A which has a kayak access at the site and it’s just a couple minutes walk to the dock and swimming area. Unfortunately we couldn’t have a fire because there was a “no burn” in effect because of the drought FL is in right now. We only stayed one night but I would’ve loved to stay one or 2 more nights :) We hope to go back!

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Bell Oaks was the sweetest spot to camp!! Clearly marked spots, amazing scenery, nice bathroom, and the cutest friendly horses! Taylor was very responsive and helpful when I had questions. Best of luck to her and her family🌳🐎🏝️

Weekend Trip to DragonFly Island 5/0

Quiet, easy in and out. I enjoyed watching the cows grazing. stayed one night. I plan on returning here.

8 nights at Sandy Bottom River Retreat

Third time staying here, and it was perfect yet again! Loved being down by the river. Very peaceful and relaxing! I will definitely be back again!

3 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

We had a wonderful stay at The Hideaway! The campsite was exactly as described—well-maintained, spacious, and private, with beautiful creek frontage (though access to the water was limited due to brush). It was conveniently located near the shower, bathroom, and public areas, which made things easy. John was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. He had everything ready for us, including kayak rentals and even a lovely sunset pontoon cruise on the scenic creek. The site comfortably fit our three small tents and vehicles, with extra amenities like a picnic table, chairs, a hammock, and even a power cord—wish I had brought a hot pot! Some of my friends noticed light road noise since the site is near the entrance, but it didn’t bother me. We were part of a larger birthday celebration and may have been a bit loud at times, but John remained gracious and accommodating throughout. Everyone was especially excited that dogs were welcome—J and P’s pups were the sweetest! Morning coffee by the river while birdwatching was a personal highlight. I’d absolutely recommend this spot and hope we get the chance to return (hopefully a little quieter next time!). Thank you for hosting us!

3 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

Absolutely amazing private camping, John is an awesome host. Can't wait to go back.

3 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

John and his family have spent so much time and put so much love into the grounds. If you are a dog lover and have a well behaved dog....this place is pure heaven. I just stayed in the A-frame for 3 nights- to celebrate my 50th birthday. I had friends drive across the coast to stay as well, and they rented out the Hideaway Camp spots in addition to Creekside B. Everyone is far enough away that you feel secluded...but the little paths and trails take you where you need to go by foot quickly and easily. We played on the trampoline. Swang on the swings. Laid in the hammocks. Jumped off the dock and swam in Shell Creek. We went on a sunset cruise with JJ and had a blast. We had so much fun just hanging out on John and Patty's property...that we didn't even find the time to use the kayaks we rented from them. The A-frame is unbelievable. I want to live there. T.v. A.C. Ice maker. Kerig coffee machine. Little fridge. Little microwave. Queen size air mattress upstairs...king size bed downstairs. The cutest deck you ever did see. Our own private flush toilet and sink with mirror. And a little outdoor sink with an attached hose for dishes and dog baths! My dog was also celebrating his 3rd birthday and he just had a blast with the resident dog Roxy. Every morning he would go out and find his doggie pals for a short game of zoomies and chase, before looping back. I made the BEST memories here!! Thank you John, Patty and JJ!! Best luck for the future. We will be back!!!

2 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

Creekside A was a great location next to the river and close to the bathroom and shower. The bathroom and shower were perfect, and the signage on the property especially around the community area sets this place on our visit again list for sure. Creekside A and B are be perfect to both to give two groups privacy but still be close enough for friendly interaction. John and his son were very helpful and friendly, and we loved talking to them.

2 nights at By the Pond...

Great spot. Was a little hard to find at night, but Mike was very helpful. I wish I could have stayed 1 more night, but had work come up.

1 night at By the Pond...

This place was amazing! Mike stopped by and introduced himself and is very passionate about his farm. He allowed us to choose any site as we were the only campers there! Had the entire area to walk around the lake with the dogs off leash and was able to see some of the exotic fruit trees( they sadly weren’t in season) but was a GREAT stay. The only thing I will say is the pictures are a little outdated. The lake is pretty overgrown and there is a few broken down campers on the property but that did not dock off any points at all! Would stay here again !

Weekend Trip to J and P Creekside Retreat

Had an amazing time at J&P creekside retreat. Wonderful host and such a peaceful atmosphere. 10 out of 10 recommend! Can't wait to return soon 🙂

Weekend Trip to J and P Creekside Retreat

AMAZING PLACE. So quiet and well kept. We enjoyed every second, even the rain. We were at the Hideaway. Very secluded and private. The bathroom was pristine. Outside shower was hot and wonderful. The launch for our canoe was fine and the creek was serene and easy to paddle. Pet Friendly!!!! Only comment… Would be nice to have an optional wee light in the shower, maybe a mirror.

3 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

A very pleasant place, great for relaxing. The place is very well-equipped and clean. All spots have 110-volt power, extremely useful for charging phones and using some cooking equipment. Firewood is very cheap and delivered to your spot. It has a bathroom and a separate shower. It also has a very well-equipped cabin with everything you need and air conditioning. I will definitely return to this hipcamp.

12 nights at J and P Creekside Retreat

Camping at J&P Creekside Retreat was a wonderful experience! The campsites are very large and all have fire pits plus the outdoor shower is great with hot water. Hosts John and Patty are friendly and really make you feel welcome. The retreat is located on the Shell Creek and the entire place is truly a little piece of country paradise!

Stay by a lovely pond on 33 acre fruit and ornamental tree nursery property with great vibes. Located near I-75 just 20 miles South of Tampa, 35 miles east of Saint Petersburg, 35 miles North of Sarasota, 2 hours West of Orlando. This property is home to a farm/nursery operation and has a large pond on the west side. The pond is Spring-fed at the headwaters of Marsh Branch Creek which begins at our property and flows West about five miles in to Tampa Bay. Approximately 33 private acres allows for plenty of space between our campsites. Property is home to a farm with hundreds of fruit trees- Lychee, Mango, Starfruit, Papaya, Guava). 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!

Sip and Sage

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Port Charlotte, FL

🏕️ Sip & Sage Co. – The Bougie Backyard Getaway Not your typical Hipcamp. Not off-grid. Not remote. And not gonna lie—we don’t have goats or a mountain view... BUT we do have privacy screens wrapped around the whole space, a tree-covered backyard oasis, and one heck of a setup that’ll make you forget you're camping in a residential neighborhood. (Bonus: you can actually sleep at night without wondering if that noise was a raccoon or a serial killer.) This vintage camper may be small, but she’s mighty. Outfitted with a futon bed + a thick 6" foam mattress, she’s cozy enough for two—but let’s be real, you’re probably coming here to escape your kids, your job, or your loud in-laws. It’s giving "she shed meets sassy staycation." Inside: ❄️ Brand new 10,000 BTU A/C – You will get cold. You’ve been warned. 🧊 Small fridge for your bubbly or snacks (no cooking inside the camper though—this isn’t Top Chef). Outside: 🚽 A real camping toilet with a tank (none of that bag-it-and-hope-for-the-best stuff). 🚿 Cold-water outdoor shower + a vintage clawfoot soaking tub (hello boho luxury). 🌬️ Mister fans & shaded sails – keeping it cool, literally. 🍹 A full outdoor kitchen & tiki bar for mixing drinks or just feeling like you're on vacation. 🛋️ Outdoor couch/daybed for sun naps, deep thoughts, or binge-watching if you add the optional outdoor TV setup (extra fee applies—TVs don’t like dew). This space was designed by a mom who just needed a dang break. So Sip & Sage was born: part retreat, part glampfest, part wild idea turned into a whole vibe. There’s no bears, no bugs in your sleeping bag, and definitely no judgment if you show up with a bottle of wine and a face mask or bong and shots. (No parties though keep it low key) 📍Located on a quiet street in a safe residential area—you might hear a lawn mower or a giggling neighbor, but you won’t hear police sirens or wild party animals (unless it's you). So if you’re a camping newbie, a glamping goddess, or just someone who needs a little joy sprinkled on their week—this one’s for you. 💫
