Area 61 Camping (Tents)
Very close to wilderness camping! ❤️
We stayed for two nights as tent dwellers. Joseph is a wonderful host and interesting to speak with. Its pretty darned close to “roughing it” camping.
The tent sites are spread out so you aren’t contending with noisy neighbors and its all woods between sites. We really felt like we had finally escaped into paradise! On nights other than “Locally Designated Fireworks Party nights” it is very quiet. Our 2nd night was New Years Eve and if you live in FL, you know what that means. But we were up for midnight anyway and the neighbors around the camping area quieted down by 12:30AM. Then it was crickets and lots of owls! Joseph is working very hard on his trails which are so lovely. He has designated areas of interest that will surprise you. You will hear a babbling brook and you can rest on a bench and listen to the creaks and thumps of a clump of large bamboo cluster waving in the breeze. The camp is clean, the paths are wide and easy to walk.
There is a toilet but you will need a to bring a light in with you. The shower is outside so bring a bathing suit to shower. The water is from a well and if you are from FL, you know it can have a sulfur smell so bring a water filter if you plan to drink and can’t get past the smell. But the water is safe to drink without filtering.
We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return! We did not stay in an RV site but they are available.

Amazing location!
Our family had a great time camping! Joseph met us and guided us around the property to give us the tour. Within minutes we saw a ton of wildlife: deer, owls, opossum, snakes, and more! We had a great time exploring all of the well maintained trails - it was so fun at night! We will certainly be coming back! Thanks for a great family camping trip, Joseph!

Holiday site
An absolute gem!
Super clean, running water, clean bathroom, tons of trails for the kids to explore with great tent sites.
We had our family Thanksgiving at campstie this year and I think we found our new family tradition.

My son and I loved camping at area 61. Entire grounds were well maintained and full of beautiful views. Close enough to town to get a bite in town but far enough that you can enjoy some camping and wildlife. Joe was a great host, we will definitely be going back soon.
