This was my second stay at the glamping site and I will absolutely be back! I travel alone and staying at this campground is a breath of fresh air, I feel safe and welcome and the site is tidy and there is a lot of exploring I still need to do!

Caught out in the rain with a flat
Me and my dog are doing a bike packing trip across Florida and was going to stay but ended up getting a flat on the bicycle and caught in a severe storm and Joseph offered to come pick us up and I just had too much stuff to ask for someone to put it in their vehicle and everything was all wet so I don't know about the spot but I know the host is awesome maybe next time I'll get to see the spot

What a fantastic place!!
Drive down the road, enter thru gate, and youâve entered a place of peace, serenity, quiet, and if you are on a healing journey, do not pass this hipcamp up. Joseph is a great guy, very personable and friendly,, the kind of friend you havnt seen for a long time. It was exactly where i needed to be. His property has a great mix of sun, shade,, and lighted paths through the trees. So good for the soul. I highly recommend it. Definitely one to go back to. Thanks Joseph for having this unique place of healing and tranquility đđ.

Amazing memories made at this gem of a spot. We enjoyed our stay. The weather was just right during the day and the evenings were just right for sitting around the fire.
The white sandy beaches of Florida (Pensacola & Navarre) were in close proximity.
Getting to know our host Joseph was a highlight for us.
We had a camping spot in the woods on top of the pine needles and among 130 year old pine trees.

Rustic Camping with a Hands-On Host
Tent ¡ Group trip ¡
Mishkan tent âşď¸ Electric and water.
Joeâs campsite was very unique! You can tell heâs put a lot of time and effort into creating a special place. He was very involved in making sure we had what we needed.
The campsite itself was good, though the facilities were pretty rustic. The shower had a lot of wear and tear, and the water had a strong metallic smell, so keep that in mind if thatâs important to you. Itâs definitely more of a back-to-basics experience, but for a campsite, it worked fine.
Overall, you get what you pay for, and Joeâs hospitality is clear. If youâre looking for a simple, no-frills camping spot with a hands-on host, this could be a good fit!

We had an enjoyable time and the host was polite and helpful. The campfire grounds were in good order, and the host fixed the picnic table at our site that had a loose board. There are quite a bit of mosquitos due to the location near a marsh, so just prepare accordingly and you'll be fine. Would recommend!

Relaxing oasis! What a quiet getaway I had! I was only slated for one night, but I hope to return long enough next time, to take the trails and explore a bit!
My host was a wonderful gentleman and we had a couple of great conversations! I felt welcomed and safe - which is important for those of us who travel solo!
The landscaping is lovely, and everything was clean. Oh yes, and I heard an owl in the middle of the night! â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸

Mishkan #1 Glamping power/water a/c
We stayed 5 nights in tents and in the glamping tent. Joseph graciously accommodated our large family and made us feel so welcome!
The campground feels like a secret garden kind of place, fenced in and with a gated entryway. It is rustic and simple, but a well-kept, quiet retreat. There are trails that meander through the woods, lit up with strings of warm lights. There's a place to play movies outdoors on a screen, a communal fire pit for fellowship, and a bathroom with bathtub, sink, toilet, and even a washer and dryer (wonderful to have available after days on the sandy beach!)
Joseph, the host, is hospitable and thoughtful, always up for a chat or to answer questions, tell a story, give advice, or give tips on sites to see and things to do. We really appreciated our stay there and would love to do it again sometime!

FANTASTIC PARADISE CAMPGROUND!
What a fantastic stay at Mishkan #2! The hosts were amazing. I booked a tent site, and the Host, Joseph upgraded me to a Tent Glamping site for the same rate. There was everything there needed-- ac, picnic table, bathroom, running water, fire pit. It was such a tranquil piece of paradise. Beautiful well kempt campground with a hiking trail and just 15 minutes from one of the most incredible beaches in Florida. Before checking out Joseph took the time suggesting must see spots nearby. I can't wait for my next stay at Malakai campgrounds.

This place is Amazing. Such wonderful kind hearted people, who truly care about others. I'm so thankful to have come across them and their campgrounds. Joe and his wife have been very good to me. I call their campgrounds a wonderland there is a lit, marked trail leading into the woods. I'm not much of a nature girl so I'm too scared to walk it đ¤Łđ¤Ł. It looks beautiful tho. They have a nice cabin and glamping tent as well. A fire pit and movie projection screen.
Thanks you both so much!!

If you're looking for somewhere that feels like home with a friendly atmosphere, this is the place. Your host is kind and knowledgeable, and will go above and beyond to accommodate you. Thank you Joseph for everything. We had a great time on your property. So happy I have a new friend in Milton, FL. â¤ď¸đ¤đ˝âşď¸

We had great stay in the tent at Joe's property. Everything went well. You'll have water, electricity as well as proper shower with hot water and bathroom. Definitely considering it next time.

Although we didnât finish our stay the full 5 nights, the camp was exactly as pictured. Itâs very private and peaceful. Joseph has done a great job on creating a native garden and preserving the natural habitat. He made sure we were settled in our first night, though considering how late it was, the conversation shouldâve been shorter than 2 1/2 hours. He was good to continually check in on us daily, though the 3rd night we arrived back at camp at 10:30 and he came over to our camper, that was a bit much. At that point we left. He did follow up with a text asking if we could talk the next morning. I told him that we had checked out and where we left his fob for the gate. He then explained that he had bought an âadapterâ to help create privacy between us and the cabin we were next to. He thought we wanted further into the woods with our camper, however when I made the initial call to him I asked if there was shade, he said if we went farther into the tree line but we would also deal with more bugs. Upon arrival we parked next to where the electrical and water was since we had a camper. Again, it just wasnât right for us. We appreciate the hospitality but also prefer, once we are there, let me contact you if we need something. My mixed feelings on referral would simply be just letting that person know all of this and if they are good with it then yes I would recommend Joseph and his Hipcamp, he is very nice!

The atmosphere was great! It was very quiet and laid back, the host Joseph was very friendly and informative. He even recommended us to a few places that were awesome and well worth the trip. The place is loaded with nature and native habitat. The shower house and washer and dryer were a huge perk to our stay.

Very quiet, secluded, close to the beaches but far enough away to get out of the busy city life. Showers and amenities are available and is a huge plus. Gated access as well! Very nice place.
