Park your rig under a beautiful Florida oak hammock in a rural residential area located on a quiet dead end street in north Jacksonville. Well behaved and managed pets are welcome. Resident wildlife includes armadillos, opossums, racoons, deer, wild turkeys, raptors, songbirds too numerous to list. There are also coyotes and bobcats in the area, but they are illusive and unlikely to be spotted. The site is also adjacent to an animal sanctuary. If you are lucky, you will be serenaded by a troop of lemurs! Site includes full electric and water hookups. Come explore the beauty of nature in Florida!

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.

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!

My husband and I absolutely loved Lofton Retreat. Peggy was so kind. She brought over our fresh dozen of eggs and a little flower arrangement to put on the picnic table. It was so peaceful and the grounds are so beautiful. On our last day we finally got to see Walker ( the turtle) We also enjoyed taking our 4x4 Camper van out on the beach at Amelia State Park only $2 per person. We can’t wait to come back again!

We loved this beautiful quiet camp near Fernandina. There are lots of trees, a safe place to walk the pooch, and lots of privacy. It was a great base camp to explore Amelia Island in the surrounding area. Peggy and Rick we're we're also very helpful and readily available.

We totally enjoyed our stay at Lofton Creek! It's a beautiful quiet setting. We felt like we were camping in the woods. The hosts were wonderful, too. They gave us a lot of suggestions for restaurants and things to do.
