Whether you'd like a tent site (tents available) or a rustic cabin with lofts, we have what you're looking for. Get out of the city and get into nature. Just over an hour drive from Tampa or Orlando and you'll be laying in a hammock or making s'mores by the campfire. BUT REMEMBER, you are IN THE WOODS..

> For $17 its hard to complain. But after 3 disturbing visits, its important to equip the public with helpful info . You will see similar reviews for this site. 1) The entrance is not marked at all. 2) Upon entering the property, campsites are poorly if not marked at all. I witnessed multiple campers arrive and struggle to decipher the cryptic lay of the property. 3) Trash and building materials are strewn across the property. (This has been the case for years) 4) Poop buckets are tossed around tent sites. When they are placed in the owners desired location, they will be 10' from your neighbor's…

> Great little campsite right in the middle of spring land in Florida. Super friendly hosts who are definitely present, but overly hands on. 100% would recommend to any of my friends and family looking to get off the beaten path but still be close to society.
