Welcome to our 5 acre property tucked away in Buckingham Rural Community. You will have direct river access! My family fell in love with this property when we rescued it from disrepair, it was once known as "Harmony Gardens" and we invite you to join us bringing back the glory. Our property is home to all kinds of wildlife, we have cardinals, bluejays, barred owls, herons, swallow-tailed kites, warblers, huge pileated woodpeckers, and if you wander to the water you may see an alligator or manatee depending on the season. Orange River is the river that passes through the highly rated Manatee Park, we have kayaks and paddleboards available for your pleasure at an additional cost. We have typical comfort restaurants such as Cracker Barrel and Waffle house nearby but I would suggest local flavors of Buckingham Farms and Rum Bucket Grill. I-75 is about 10 minutes away so although we are tucked away, most of FL isnt too far for a day's trip.

Shortly after my arrival I met with Kyle, he welcomed me and told me a little’bit about the area / his property. Property is exactly as noted. Primitive camping at its best w/Porta potty(which was very clean) and also a garbage can. Private location-sounds of nature-a peaceful night’s rest. Solo traveler; I felt safe here. No problem finding location -Directions sent were precise. AT&T/5g ; good signal. was able to get some online work completed 👍. Used this camp as my homebase : Approximately 1.5 hours to Everglade city -so I was able to access / ‘venture to Cypress/Everglades parks, and locally the beaches/ Estero Blvd., manatee park, with a few rainy days was able to check out Calusa Nature Center, Edison & Ford Estates… Thank you Kyle for sharing your property.

Camping for the holidays
I love parking my camper on Kyle's property it was very peaceful except for the fireworks that kind of scared me a little bit because I have a pop up but I mean it was peaceful very they don't bother you nobody else bothers you some of the grass spots were a little high but I kind of understand why because that's how people have their privacy when they're camping on his property and I understand that and he was very respectful very polite I didn't get to go kayaking even though I got one for Christmas I'm a little scared of them I've never been in one and I'm afraid to flip out because the Gators I mean you can't go in any water spot in Florida and they're not me Gators but other than that I enjoyed myself 100%

Perfect Weekend Getaway
We had a fantastic time at Kyle’s place. Would highly recommend. Private and tranquil with easy access to the Orange River for kayaking and fishing. With the cooler weather we also took the opportunity to go to Manatee Park only 8 mins away and kayaked with the Manatee’s! Buckingham Farms is close by - a great breakfast or lunch spot. It’s also close to a number of popular hiking trails and Boathouse Tiki which we plan to explore on our next visit.

Well I went around Christmas and New years so of course there wasn't a whole lot of people out there but it was very peaceful and Kyle was very respectful there you go
