Going on Year 4 as a hipcamp host! We are so grateful to have met such wonderful guests over the years! This land is very special to us and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The perfect place to unwind and disconnect from the busy day to day surrounded by nature, farm animals and wildlife. Located in one of the best spots in SW Florida! Hiking trails, horse farms, shopping, restaurants, recreational activities and within minutes from the beautiful FL beaches. Ideal for a weekend getaway or a snowbird vacation!

Park your trailer near the pasture under the beautiful Florida Oak trees surrounded by horses and native wildlife. Enjoy the quiet nights underneath the stars. Cozy up by a fire, and wake up to the amazing Florida sunrises and birds chirping in sweet serenity. You will have your own site and plenty of space for privacy. Feel free to pet the horses or the chickens if you desire. Please use caution as they may think you have food. We love dogs and they are always welcome, however, we ask that you keep them on a leash and clean up after them at all times. Please respect other guests and their space. Please throw all trash away in the trash/recycle bins in the front of the property. Children must be supervised at all times. There are 3 fire pits that you are welcomed to use. Please leave the fire rings where they are to prevent fires and never leave the fire unattended/ water it down before bed. Outdoor charcoal grill available to use upon request.

We kindly ask guests to be mindful of energy usage- please do not use multiple high powered appliances simultaneously to prevent overload.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    This campsite offers a peaceful retreat just a short drive from the beach, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility without being too far from local attractions. Previous guests often appreciated the friendly hosts and the clean, well-maintained facilities, including a private restroom and shower. The site is noted for its spaciousness, allowing campers to enjoy a sense of privacy and nature, with the presence of horses and a peacock adding to the serene environment. While some mention it may not feel like a full working ranch, the quiet and laid-back atmosphere is frequently highlighted as a positive aspect.

    We had the perfect time, bathroom and shower very nice, the hosts were so kind, and the grounds are well kept.. The horses are beautiful and majestic…. Very close to the beach and stores…. But you feel like you’re far away from everything.. it was just what we needed! Tysm!
