Off-leash friendly

Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.

Friendly pets welcome. Spacious park-like waterfront setting of back yard, considered by most to be a safe area. Trash and recycle bins, bench swing, outside seating and tables, kayak launch on canal. Peak season is January and February when this area is extremely competitive to find camping. I don't consider my hosting service a business, but rather a cost shared meeting place. The city/county won't allow monthly; therefore is 30 days max, plus this is intended to be a meeting spot to assist travelers and meet new people, not for long term housing. Orderly and clean property: You and your RV / vehicle must be fairly presentable. No smoking on property. Your RV / vehicle must be in good condition and not in disarray; old vehicles OK if no visible duck tape, etc. Please note HipCamp does not allow me to see phone numbers, so if you type it in a message, I will not be able to call you. You should be able to see which sites and days are available as well as make a reservation on this website, therefore no need to ask me in a message if any site / days are available. Host is 55, single, retired from a large variety of jobs to include two years in Army "intel" and has an interest in most everything. Diet is strictly healthy which mainly omits sugar and corn syrup. Have lived in a campervan six years full time from 2016 to 2021; traveled most of the U.S. to include Alaska but not Hawaii. Have visited popular Canadian areas. Have a 2018 Ford Transit customized campervan. Born in Ohio, grew up in Texas / Arkansas. Bought this Florida home in early 2021 that is energy efficient and withstands strong storms well, but not storm proof. Worked diligently for three years to upgrade and improve the property.

Flora/Fauna Retreat

Eric has such a Great flora/fauna retreat, he’s worked hard on it and it shows. Very quiet as the 24 hour security guard- Eclipse the Alligator 🐊 is not very talkative. Great price and accommodating host. Great location about 30-40 minutes to Manasota beach for shark tooth hunting, and right off the highway. Any shopping needs are close by as well 15 minutes. Two Thumbs Up.

30A Power, Water.

An excellent experience

Eric was a tremendous host… one of the best I have experienced in Hipcamp. He even offered to help me do some repairs on my travel trailer. The location was very quiet yet it was only a very short drive to all of the major shopping areas, including Walmart, Home Depot, restaurants etc. The price also was extremely reasonable. I would definitely stay here again.

Nature, sweet dogs, nice spot!

This is a great spot and I'm sure that I will be back! Eric is a kind and gracious host who is friendly but not intrusive. He responds to inquiries quickly and was amenable to my last-minute schedule changes. His dog is the sweetest girl. The property is of good size and the backyard is on a canal, so it's a very pleasant spot to rest and enjoy a little bit of nature. Easy hookups, close to hwy 75, felt like a safe neighborhood!

Spacious 30A, Water Camp to Feb 21

Pleasant site in urban area

There are few camping options in this fairly urban area. This particular location gets high marks for being quiet and having a stream (ditch really but an attractive one) and a nicely landscaped yard. The site itself is accurately described. Unfortunately it was raining the whole time, so I didn’t experience it much.
