The campsite is highly praised for its pristine condition and ideal location along the river. Visitors love the floating dock and tiki hut, which offer a perfect setting for relaxation. Many guests enjoy kayaking and fishing directly from the site, often spotting local wildlife such as manatees. The proximity to Weeki Wachee and other attractions makes it a favorite spot for repeat visitors.

This was our second stay here in 2 weeks! We booked for July 4th weekend and it did not disappoint! Best fireworks I’ve ever watched and best part was we could watch right from the dock! This will continue to be our go to site when in the area.

Beautiful! What a great spot! The host was quick and friendly in his responses and the site was everything as promised. We enjoyed fishing from the dock, watching the river and kayaking. Even saw a mommy and baby manatee on one of our kayaking trips. We will be back and will stay longer.

We loved our time at the Hippie Mermaid. The hosts were super responsive and the site was perfect. Our son loved the kayaks and having the docks to fish from. Very close (maybe 10 minute drive) to Weeki Wachee. We'd definitely return.

My daughters had a great time with the paddle boards and kayaks. It was a comfortable site for the RV. And the location was great as it was near everything needed.
Will definitely be back a few more times as the river is so clear and so close to Roger’s park etc..

Weeki Paradise!!!
35 ft travel trailer · With kids
Wow!!!! What a find! This place was a campers paradise! Everything was amazing! Perfect dock and cabana to relax on; with perfect views! The place is on a city street but felt very private. Backing in our 35 ft TT was a breeze. The Neighbor's were very pleasant also. The location is close enough to anything you may need out of Spring Hill. Kayaking up Weeki Wachee was super fun and it was easy to launch the kayaks and paddle boards right from the dock! We had so much fun even our TEENAGERS wanted to extend our stay another night! 😁
