Osceola National Forest is 200,000 acres of exploration with your name on it! In the northeastern Floridian forest, pine flatwoods and cypress-hardwood swamps surround, with diverse wildlife abound. In this leafy paradise lives gopher tortoises (they act like gophers, but are tortoises!), alligators, black bears, and the skunk ape, also known as the “stink ape,” which bears an uncanny resemblance to bigfoot. Areas of recreation include Ocean Pond--a fave place for boaters, skiiers, and campers, and Olustee Beach for swimming, fishing, and picnicking. The park is also open to hunters and fishermen with permits. With so much land to explore in this National Forest, we wouldn’t be surprised if bigfoot was hiding in there!

This site wins for best views, sunsets, and most accommodating with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy, kayaks, private boat launch and dock. Under gorgeous oaks and close to too many destinations to name from Georgia beaches to Jacksonville. Definitely recommend highly

What a gorgeous spot. I was immediately regretful that I only booked one night. Timothy was great - available though the app even when I was trying to locate the spot. I was distracted looking at house numbers and missed the giant hipcamp sign lol. My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed a peaceful night and morning, and next time I’ll be bringing my paddle board and staying a few more days. Highly recommend this beautiful spot on the water.

We loved everything about our stay at Destination Sunset. The campsite was even better than the photos - absolutely gorgeous. The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and the roads in and out were easy in our 33’ class A. Tim is an amazing host, and all the neighbors we encountered were super friendly. Tim even loaned my husband the proper lure for fishing - no success with reds, but he caught a ton of catfish and had a blast. We can’t wait to come back. Thanks, Tim!

Peggy’s land is quiet and private but so close to shopping, beaches, and historical sites. It was the perfect stopover on my trip. Warm and welcoming, it’s a wonderful place to exhale - this Hipcamp is a keeper! Thank you for blessing me, Peggy!

I enjoyed how peaceful it was on this property. It was very easy to pull in and out of with good water, sewer and electricity access. The wildlife out there was great with squirrels, turtles and lots and lots of birds. Fairly easy access to good shopping and the historic district of Fernandina.

Tim’s site is breathtaking! It truly is beautiful, peaceful, private, and feels like an island getaway. Reservations were easy and straightforward. Tim is a great communicator and was immediately responsive to questions and requests. Our 2 dogs love the huge free-range, fenced yard. They had a great time running around and we also enjoyed walking the yard. It is beautifully landscaped and very lush. We had a really wonderful time and are already planning our return to this gem!

The views, fishing, and kayak/canoe activities were awesome here! Our kids already want to go back and the dogs really enjoyed running around freely in the fenced in property. Highly recommended this campsite and we hope to return soon!

Unfortunately we arrived late and spent there only one night but it was a great experience! The owners are nice and helpful people, and their campsite is beautiful, clean and very peaceful. We’d like to go back when we’ll have the chance to. I’d recommend Margaret’s land to everyone!

We booked this spot to celebrate my birthday. It is our favorite Hipcamp place that we’ve ever visited! The property is unbelievably gorgeous with everything you need to make your camping stay perfect. Tim was extremely fast to reply to my questions. We watched dolphins each morning and evening and the fishing was the best. It was very relaxing and we can’t wait to return. Our doggos absolutely loved the free range fun. I have to admit that the star of the trip was meeting the neighbors, Scott and Kelly. They graciously invited us over for cocktails and let our pups run in their yard. They took us out on their beautiful dock to fish. Truly, rare humans! We loved the camping but also can’t wait to go back and see our new friends! Can’t recommend this place enough. Who would think this is Jax?

First of all, the camp site is beautiful and on a 3/4 acre of fenced property equipped with hook ups, canoes, a fishing dock and complete privacy. If you’re looking for a place that is both quiet and beautiful, this is for your. My kids spent their day catching blue crab, they caught 14 in total. We also enjoyed fishing and canoeing. I can’t wait to come back and highly recommend staying here. Tim was a wonderful and kind host.
