Site 3 near East shore of pond
Beautiful, lush tropical setting with amazing sunsets (no snakes or gators). The site I had was private and roomy with a fire ring. Primitive camping with every imaginable modern convenience just a few minutes away (Home Depot, Publix, WalMart, fast food, mexican, BBQ, etc. etc.) Host was kind, courteous, accommodating and knowledgeable. I was there to fish and I had my choice between fresh water on the property and excellent salt water ( in shore and out) very nearby. Not only would I go back but I plan to.

Had a great time during my stay in the camper. Mike was an amazing host and the property is beautiful. Loved seeing all the fruits, fowls, and a few piglets while walking the trail.

This farm is a fenced-in area in the middle of a crowded suburb right by a highway, so you hear cars all night. The barbed wire, "no trespassing", and "beware the dog" signs aren't particularly inviting either. Do not be fooled by the pictures--the grass is overgrown, there are old school buses and vehicles all around the property, and the place is messy in general. Definitely would not recommend for someone looking to get away into nature--we only stopped because we needed a place to stay for the night, but we were ready to get out of there ASAP. As of June 2025, this was ranked the third best Hipcamp in Florida--I would really hate to see number four. This was my first, and probably my last time using Hipcamp. Would probably make an excellent paintball/airsoft facility.

We camped in our Ford Transit Van and it got around perfectly there, even in the rain! Mike & Bill’s land was an absolute treat to stay at and we would definitely recommend. He has over 80 mango trees and was kind enough to share some fruit with us, they are remarkably better than the fruit sold in stores. A MUST try!! We stayed at site 3 and it had electricity for our A/C to run which was great in that summer heat. Would love staying here again!

Site 5 at S.W. Corner
Great spot. Was a little hard to find at night, but Mike was very helpful. I wish I could have stayed 1 more night, but had work come up.

This place was amazing! Mike stopped by and introduced himself and is very passionate about his farm. He allowed us to choose any site as we were the only campers there! Had the entire area to walk around the lake with the dogs off leash and was able to see some of the exotic fruit trees( they sadly weren’t in season) but was a GREAT stay. The only thing I will say is the pictures are a little outdated. The lake is pretty overgrown and there is a few broken down campers on the property but that did not dock off any points at all! Would stay here again !

Truly a lovely little spot! The host was very kind, friendly, and responsive. We had a wonderful time in spot 10. The pot belly pigs were cute and didn't bother us. However do bring bug spray! Otherwise, was very peaceful and we would definitely book again :)

We loved our stay in the camper! The site is located on a farm which was really neat and we were able to see baby chickens and pet pigs! We stayed in a non-fruiting season (just missed starfruit) so we weren't able to get fruit but if you're lucky enough to stay when the trees are fruitful the owner was so kind to share! We slept soundly and accessed the farm by opening and closing the gates at the entrance was easy! There are so many fun things nearby, and not too far from downtown Tampa. Definitely would stay again!

Honestly this should not be on hipcamp and the pictures are deceptive. Puzzled why there are glowing reviews and I want other future campers to know the truth. All night you hear the highway and airplanes flying over. The property is junky. I think if this was $20 a night I would recommend it to RVs/camper vans only.

We had the most amazing visit. Having my daughter get to see all the animals and fruit plants and trees. Sit by the lake and see bee hives! Definitely coming back!

Site 9 North side of Pond
It's a fantastic spot. If you're looking for a central Florida type of get away you'll be hard pressed to beat this place. It's quiet, peaceful, birds galore. We spent 7 days here and I could easily spend 7 more. The hosts were great, they basically left us alone (in the best way, they were very attentive, friendly, and helpful). We traveled during spring break and had a beautiful site next to the pond. There's plenty of grocery and other types of stores within a few miles if you need anything but you'd never know it while sitting on site, it's very secluded and private. We'll be back for sure.

Site 15 - new South Site
It's on a beautiful spring-fed lake. Campsites are spread out, so very peaceful and a very attentive host. You feel like you're far away from it all, yet it's very handy to everything if you need groceries, camp supplies or even a meal in a restaurant. A great getaway.

Very relaxing atmosphere with indigenous vegetation next to a nice size lake for fishing. Host hospitality is off the charts. Place has a welcoming , relaxed vibe. Perfect for a truck bed tent. My son and I enjoyed our stay & plan to be back soon!

Site 3 near East shore of pond
My family of four spent one night tent camping and had a great stay! Campsite 3 was tucked away from the other sites with plenty of room, close to the toilets and potable water. Mike was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We’ll be sure to go back when the mangoes are in season!

Mike was a very helpful host while we made our arrival plans and also during our stay. We picked an out of the way site with lots of surrounding plants. There are also wide open spaces for groups. A hurricane has left some damage to trees, fences and other items throughout the farm. They are in the process of replanting bananas and mangoes, and have just purchased some baby chicks to restock their flock.

Absolutely loved tent camping here. My simple weekend to enjoy the beautiful weather was made even better than I could imagine. Mike was super helpful and knowledgeable, the star fruit is some of the best I’ve ever. It was quiet and the views were nice
