Summary AI-generated from real reviews
I originally booked a tent site, but arrived in the middle of a rain storm. Jeff came out and greeted me in the middle of the rain and not only helped me settle in but let me stay in his cabana site which was amazing and has everything you need ready to go; and was just a very accommodating and caring host.
The campsite itself was such a great experience. It’s private and relaxing and has everything you need for a good camp out, including an off-leash area for my dog who also had such a fun time on the trip. This is a place to really get away and enjoy yourself without any worries. The stars at night are also very bright and beautiful! Would absolutely recommend this stay.

Pretty cool spot, we saw alligator, iguanas, birds and fish by the front porch. Quite place, just a little bit of mosquitos but nothing bad. It's amazing the view when you wake up in the morning and drink a cup of coffee by the river.
Jeff’s ranch was the perfect place to relax and reconnect with the outdoors! I had a really wonderful experience and will definitely be going back. I stayed in the riverside cabana and it was the perfect amount of fresh air while still being sheltered from the worst of the bugs! The view over the water was beautiful and I was able to spot so much wildlife<3 Jeff was a really gracious host as well, and made sure I felt safe and comfortable as a solo female. Thank you again, Jeff!!

I really enjoyed my short stay Meadow Ranch. Jeff was a great host. He has a beautiful well maintained property. It was a great way to experience camping in the Everglades in a safe environment. I would stay there again.

KOZEY CABIN camping experience
Great time , my dog loved being able to run around

The property itself is beautiful, and Jeff, the host, is very friendly and easy to communicate with — which I really appreciated. That said, there are several things that need improvement to make the stay more comfortable, especially during the summer.
The cabin is made from a metal container, and in hot weather, it becomes unbearably hot from around noon until sunset. An AC unit is definitely needed.
Cleanliness could be better. The cabin didn’t feel very clean overall. The folding couch had visible stains and looked dirty. Decorative pillows, which likely aren’t washed often, didn’t feel sanitary.
The curtains had mold.
There were no proper toilet waste bags, only grocery bags, which isn't ideal.
The gas grill didn’t work, and there was no microwave inside the cabin — we didn't need it, but this is something to be aware of if you plan to cook or heat food.
On the brighter side, I really loved the outdoor shower, the fire ring, and the freedom to roam the property with my dog. The tent area nearby is actually lovely — breezy, shaded, and well-maintained. With a fan, it was more comfortable than the cabin during the day.
Overall, the property has a lot of potential, but some upgrades and deeper cleaning would really improve the experience.

Campsite was amazing right on the water. Beautiful set up with amenities: grill, fire pit, and patio on the water. Jeff was extremely helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
We loved staying on Jeff's property! It was hard to leave and we look forward to returning this summer and fall. Jeff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Absolutely loved the outdoor spaces and the outdoor shower!

We were welcomed by our host Jeff who's been very friendly and accommodating. The site is nice, with lots of space for everyone. Dogs are allowed. We don't have any, but the ones present didn't make any trouble.
We highly recommend this place, you won't regret it!
Meadow River Ranch was one of my favorite places to camp. It’s very serene and Jeff does an amazing job keeping the place beautifully maintained and welcoming.
Jeff was also the best host giving me a tour of his property and buildings. He was very accommodating and extremely flexible. It’s definitely on my list to revisit! You will not be disappointed!!

I’m only going to state absolute facts. **Gonna start with a reminder that I will completely own… NO WATER HOOKUPS. & it’s not ok to use the house by the little cabin to fill your tanks. You have to pull out to get to the filtered potable water.
**Site 1 w/power’s price does NOT include power though it’s more expensive.
**The parking space needed a special “private entrance” where you walk around your camper door to get in/out. & the branches hung low & scraped as the owner was directing us how to be able to back all the way into the spot)
**If you have a dog without a short coat, be prepared to comb out TONS of the native brambles on the property. (We loved the dog free part though!)
The owner does not consider his property a commercial business.
I will not elaborate but we were not comfortable staying & found another site.
Jeff is a wonderful host! Very much enjoyed my stay in the Kozey Cabin, it was just the right balance of being out “away from it all,” and being the perfect base camp for exploring the area between Fort Meyers and Naples.
“Glamping” best describes the cute cabin, with its comfortable, blinged- out bed. There is a great little fridge, reading light, the outside is lit up at night, the door locks and I felt safe. Nearby toilet is a commode inside of a tent lined with plastic bags, cleaner than a porta potty and it doesn’t stink.
Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the scenery and wildlife, some are decks and chairs along the river, one is screened in. There were no bugs at the time I was there.
Hoping to return again!
My guinea pig and I really enjoyed tent-camping in Jeff's beautiful oasis of a ranch! As soon as I arrived he met me for the grand tour and made us feel safe and welcome; he was also great about checking in and making sure I had everything I needed. The place itself is huge, lots of grassy areas and tall trees to ensure privacy (and an authentic camping experience), a water front with wildlife, whimsical décor & outdoor furniture to hang out on. Will definitely request to stay again.

No power at site 1, so he moved me into his driveway to get power. It was functional but not quaint. Spot is quite a ways out

Great place and a great host! Jeff was very accommodating and easy going adjusting things on the fly just to make our stay more enjoyable. Secluded, wooded area yet very close to all the conveniences and a few great places to see. Recommend this place! Would definitely stop by again if in the neighborhood.
Basic camping amenities, but Jeff was more than acomodating in whatever he could.
Will be visiting again.

We really enjoyed staying on this gorgeous property. Jeff is an amazing host we would for sure go back to stay there is we ever have the chance. The place is so pretty and it is an amazing place to relax and recharge! 🌼
I DON’T RECOMMEND !!!! Read until the end.
without any structure, it is just a garden with no signage. The owner does not answer the phone and does not guide guests.
nothing like the photo. I didn't sleep at the property and they didn't refund me. I hope that with this comment he loses more than I lost, $79.00 for not having any amenities.

The property is wonderful! Communication was, after the first contact which seemed fine, non existent. I was looking to be directed to the outside shower and compost toilet but there was no response. The reservation was made and accepted at 7:15. First contact made approx 45 min later. After that nothing, which was frustrating as it was dark, property big. Jeff did contact me this morning with an offer to use log house facilities but I had to leave.

KOZEY CABIN camping experience
Peaceful place to be in the moment. I sat by the canal and listened to the birds sing and studied the wide variety of lizards. My dog enjoyed being off leash and running across the lush grass fields. The night sky was vibrant with clear view of the stars. A fantastic escape!

The Pictures don't do this place justice. It's an incredible piece of land and the cabin was perfect. Jeff was super hospitable and gave us a tour when we first arrived. Everything worked, Expectations were met.

On the river TENT SITE
We felt like we were treated like dirt becuase we were campers instead of cabin renters :( it was very unfortunate. The conditions that my 11 year old daughter was put in were extremely uncomfortable. I would not stay here again.
Lovely spot on a small canal. Small screened in area where you can cook, eat, wash dishes or work. Outdoor shower (controls in bushes behind shower)

What a lovely spot! It takes dry/rustic camping up a notch! Peaceful, beautiful and graciously hosted by Jeff. Meadows River Ranch is everything you hope for in a HipCamp location PLUS Jeff! :-) Great location for visits to nearby Corkscrew Sanctuary, Big Cypress National Preserve and Florida Panther Sanctuary.
Additional Info: we are two older farts plus a little dog camping in a motorcycle pop-up tent camper. We were on site 2 and plan to stay there again on a future visit to the area.
We just recently started using hip camp. So many campgrounds have gotten so greedy since Covid and extremely marked up prices. Sometimes even more than we could stay at a hotel.
This formally equestrian Ranch property is well priced and sits right beside a spring fed canal! The property is big, beautiful and private!
Jeff is the perfect host and truly cares about his property and people. We feel we have a new friend!
We slept peacefully and loved using the area for our base camp!
Marco Island and Naples beaches are lovely! There’s also a ferry near by to visit the keys! The tacos and food down the road at the market store were amazing too!
We didn’t have time to explore as much as we like this trip but we will return to Jeff’s spot!
Jeff is continually adding new amenities to his property and we can’t wait to see them soon!
We want to bring our family with us next time as everyone can have their own private spot too!
Thanks Jeff for not being greedy and sharing your paradise!
