Currently the property is raw land. With very little touch of man. It is in an old country neighborhood that touches a newer neighborhood with plenty of dining choices.
There is a natural unkept pond with mucky dark water that has Lilly pads.
There are parts of the Econ river that rise and lower with the seasons.
There may or may not be chickens running the property.
There are fallen trees and overgrown areas. There are some internal fences with gates we are working to remove or restructure.
There is parking for off grid rvs. No amenities are offered currently.
We behaved leashed dogs are allowed.

Amazing land, amazing people, beautiful space to be quiet and enjoy the greatness of this creation. I was the only one there and must say it was awesome! Hector and his sons were amazing came out and checked on me to see if I needed anything.
The breakfast in the morning overlooking the rolling hills was the best. If you are looking for a relaxing peaceful retreat, book now!

We enjoyed our brief stay at the Promise. Just what we were looking for, a quiet place to stop for a day. With the recent dry weather the sand in the wooded area was quite loose though we had no issues getting in and out. I would advise a quick recon on foot before you go in mostly to confirm a route through the woods. There are a couple of options and it’s helpful to know which one works for you. Our stay was brief but enjoyable. Very quiet and heavily shaded site with options to stay in the field before the woods if desired. The shade was welcomed and cut the heat considerably compared to the field. We would definitely stay again when we are in the area.

This place was more than perfect! A great location for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabin had everything I needed, the bed was super comfy, and the bonfire was wonderful way to end the night. In the morning the nature surrounding the cabin was serene, perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee.

The best camping near Winter Haven with surfing guide
Where to go
The Northern Lakes
Winter Haven contains a plethora of lakes, each of which has a distinct identity—and equally distinct campsites. The lakes are divided into Northern and Southern chains, so, for the full Winter Haven experience, drive north and work your way across the freshwater. Rent a cabin overlooking Lake Haines, and you’ll start your camping trip off on the right foot—or with the right paddle.
The Southern Lakes
Keeping in theme, why not explore the area’s other lakes? Pick a lake, any lake, on the Southern Chain of Lakes. Before you park your RV, take it for a spin and enjoy a scenic drive past the likes of Lake Eloise, Lake Summit, and Lake Cannon. Across Polk County, campers will not only find stunning vistas, but also enough fish to fill any campsite grill.
Wildlife Areas
If you’d rather explore Winter Haven’s green spaces, you’re in luck. Wildlife Areas come on all sides of the city, so Florida campers can embrace their inner birdwatchers, fishermen, and nature enthusiasts. Gopher tortoises, in particular, are known to frequent both the Hilochee Wildlife Management Area and the Crooked Lake Wildlife and Environmental Area. Keep your binoculars handy, and you’ll see all sides of Winter Haven.
When to go
Winter Haven is a year-round locale, though, like its name suggests, winter may actually be the best time for your next Florida camping trip. Hurricane season runs from late spring through early fall, so summer campers run the risk of storms. Of course, Florida has earned its “Sunshine State” alias, so you can certainly camp, hike, bike, and swim throughout the year. Just plan to maximize your time in the sun—and around the lakes.
