New weekend spot

We loved staying out here! My daughter loves horses, so she immediately fell in love with the resident horses. My son also had a blast enjoying the space outside! We got to help groom the horses and the kids even got to ride them. Since we don’t live far, this will be a great weekend trip! For sure coming back. Thank you all!

Amazing Stay at Bell Oaks Ranch
50 ft travel trailer · With pets ·
We recently had the pleasure of spending a month at Bell Oaks Ranch campground, and it was an unforgettable experience! Six beautiful campsites tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, nestled among palm trees with horses pasturing in a U-shaped area surrounding the grounds. The natural beauty makes it perfect for peaceful mornings, biking to the farmers market, kayaking excursions, or working on your tan at the beach. The hiking/biking trails are close, and there are lots of scenic spots and activities to explore. We biked, browsed the stores and markets, gathered seashells, enjoyed the local bars and restaurants, and seen the sights throughout the area. Spending time at the beach, shopping and dining with the locals and biking through the area was the highlight for us. Our campsite was spacious, clean, and level, with a fire pit and garden table. Taylor, Austin and Beth are incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering us helpful tips about the area and making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. There is a communal bathroom with a hot shower on the property. For campers, you must be self-contained as there is no sewer for dumping gray and black water. You can empty your tanks at a local campground down the road, or via a 5-gal bucket in the toilet every couple of days. Overall, Bell Oaks Ranch exceeded our expectations. This is the place to be, and we can’t wait to return next year!

We had a great time tent camping at Bell Oaks! The 3 sites are near each other, but the other campers were never a bother. The bathroom with shower is very close by. We appreciated the fire pit and wood that Taylor and Austin provided. We enjoyed seeing the horses throughout the day. The location was very convenient to get to nearby shops, the beach, and also the spring training baseball game we attended. We definitely hope to come back.
