  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    The campsite offers a tranquil escape with its secluded and lush setting, ideal for those seeking peace and a connection with nature. Guests frequently highlight the crystal-clear springs and kayaking experiences as standouts, often encountering local wildlife like manatees. Kate, the host, is repeatedly praised for her helpfulness and warm hospitality, enhancing the overall experience. However, potential visitors should be mindful of the absence of certain amenities, such as a bathroom, and the occasional presence of mosquitoes.

    What a gem!! Kate is an amazing host. She went out of her way, checking on us multiple times, and was super helpful. The water access is just a short walk and an easy launch. We went out multiple times and saw so much wildlife. It was so peaceful. Only call out I have is to make sure to bring mosquito spray! We will definitely be back!!

    What a great time! Kate and her family were the hosts with the most. The property was beautiful, the campsite was quiet and private! The water was just amazing. Kayaking was a wildlife experience.
