limited electricity: we use a generator to run our well for water, and the generator runs our facility building and the electric for the upstairs room. The generator is not intended to run around the clock for power to the room. If you can’t manage without power around the clock- then book a hotel.
We DO NOT HAVE: Wifi Television Or refrigeration
The room is equipped with a Bluetti solar powered generator. This little power box is great for charging your devices.
Our place in located on a 5 acre parcel within the Picayune Strand State Forest. This place is the perfect stay for the outdoorsy, nature lover in you. Our space is perfect for people who like to connect with nature, watch for shooting stars, listen to the birds, and let the crickets sing them to sleep. We like to consider this room a sort of “glamping" experience. You can have the feel of camping, without all the work that goes with it.
The room is located on second story building, giving optimal view of the surrounding area! The room is completely PRIVATE, you will not share it at all. We offer a queen size mattress, sheets, towels, and your basic toiletries. The bottom half of the building is considered a utility room, it is NOT a secondary area that is rented.
Our washroom/ bathroom is located in a separate building, our facility building. The facility building is a common area shared by others- if other guests are staying on the property.
Note: Our property is also open on the Hipcamp tent camping platform that welcomes people to camp on the property. You may have the entire property to yourself, or there may be a few others as well.
We are located down an unpaved road, in the middle of The Picayune Strand State Forest, 15 minutes from downtown Naples. We have the convenience of a super quiet and super easy to run generator that produces our electricity, and propane heated, hot running water.
This campsite offers a serene and secluded experience, perfect for those seeking a retreat from the busy world. The property is rich with wildlife, from chickens to baby alligators, making it a unique spot for nature lovers. However, be prepared for a bit of a journey down a dirt road to get there, and note that facilities are rustic, with some mentioning unclean bathrooms. Despite some minor drawbacks, many visitors appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the friendly, helpful hosts who even provide fresh produce.
First off 4 miles down dirt toad so if you are not comfortable on dirt i’d skip this one. Not alot of places to park as alot of construction equipment. Richard was nice and gave us some fruit and veggies. Met owner and he was nice. First place we had to sign a waiver to stay. Screened porch was nice but bathroom was disgusting. Not sure last time toilet was cleaned. Only stayed 1 night instead of 3 since no electric and it was hot. Great fruit stand on way into property.
I arrived very late (maybe 10pm) because I had a jam packed day visiting from IL but in the morning I was met with the friendliness everyone speaks highly of in previous reviews! I was able to take a peak at the property too before leaving and it was beautiful. I’d try and leave time to enjoy this property if you stay. I wish I had!
Richard was very nice and helpful! Property was beautiful. I’m sad for the cold spout you guys had although many of your trees took a hit I think they’ll come back!! For us weather was perfect. We enjoyed staying in your food forest and exploring some plants we can’t keep at home. We especially liked how quiet it was and how it was encouraged to keep separated. The shower and common room was a very nice luxury!
I stayed on Amanda's land for two nights. We enjoyed staying there immensely. The chickens were awesome, and we saw a bunch of other wildlife, including a Red-shouldered Hawk snatch something up pretty near us. The weather was awesome! Amanda's land was a great base for nearby activities.
This land was the perfect meeting spot for our group split coming from both the Keys and Bradenton. We really enjoyed the accessibility to trails along hwy 41 that we've always wanted to stop at but felt the pressure to keep going. At camp, it was enjoyable to be able to pick our spot depending on our needs - my parent's camper fit neatly under the live oak next to the orchard and near the bathrooms. Our kids enjoyed looking for the chickens and spotting the baby alligators in the pond. The host was friendly, informative and attentive but not nosey or intrusive. Facilities were perfectly accessible and nice to have, even using the generator in order to be "off grid" was simple and not inconvenient at all. We will definitely look for availability next time we are in the area!
It was SO private with many more comforts than usual. Flush toilets, warm showers and screened in space was awesome. We were truly removed from the hustle and bustle. Thank you!
Gorgeous, tucked away camping area. We had a great stay near the pond and were able to see two small alligators. Quiet and peaceful at night. Lots of beautiful birds during the day. We’d definitely stay again!
Beautiful property, there was lots of wildlife to see, especially on the drive on the way in. Was a much appreciated camping spot after a day of exploring! Thanks for hosting us:)
My wife and I were there for a few hours, unfortunately there was a brush fire that was a bit too close for comfort (wife is from Fire country out west). Amanda was very helpful getting info about the fire. Richard is onsite and is a hell of a nice guy, gave us some fruit and fishing advice about the pond on site. It’s remote and very quiet with some good fishing. Would recommend.
Beautiful and peaceful land to camp on. Lots of wildlife and plants. Property owners are very welcoming, nice, and knowledgeable about the land and area.
This place was awesome! Very unique off grid camping spot beside a lake full of fish and a baby gator. We tent camped here for 3 nights between the fruit trees and I wish we had stayed longer! Richard was kind and helpful and checked in on us a few times gifting us some fresh produce. Very cool spot for stargazing or birdwatching. If you love the real Florida in all it's glory you will love it here. The generator powered hot water for a shower and flushing toilets made it a luxurious camping spot as opposed to a primitive campsite. Chickens were really cute. Some people in their reviews complained about the rooster but if you are used to farm life it does not make any difference to hear the rooster crowing. Lots of wildlife to see and hear throughout the day and night. Very close to Big Cypress Forest and the Everglades both beautiful see them while you still can! Overall a great spot would love to come back in the future.
Finally a really QUIET place to pitch your tent.
Make a fire, admire the stars, enjoy the birds.
Beautiful central space. With kitchen.
Plenty hot water.
Limited electricity (generator), no drinking water.
4 miles dirt road to get there, so bring everything you need with you.
Great place if you can live with the minor points mentioned.
Recommended !
I sadly didn’t get to stay here, although we did see the site and it looked so lovely by the shady pond. The host had sent some vital check in information through a message on the app, but not included those details in the check in information. As we didn’t have much reception when traveling I had screenshot the check in instructions before she sent the other message. She was very kind to refund us and understanding to the mix up. I would attempt to stay here again when in the area and she said she would update the check in information so hopefully no future confusions. It is a bumpy 2 mile dirt road. Copy and paste the actual address instead of clicking on the app to bring up directions. That took us another 4 extra miles around our elbows on said bumpy road. Good luck and enjoy!
Plenty of options for setting up camp. The property was wonderfully serene in its setting. Have to turn on the generator before showering but the facilities in the building with the screen porch were excellent. It was a real pleasure meeting and talking to the gentleman host on site. Overall, it was an excellent overnight stay and I would definitely stay there again when we are in the area.
This is a nice quiet campground a little off the beaten path but still close location for exploring the surrounding big cypress and everglades. It is not a bad price for the area (naples camping/hotels are very expensive). We tent camped 3 nights here and next time would be interested to stay in the bungalow!
It was a good spot close to the city.
Nice to have washrooms and we spoke with the owner who was really nice. I was able to run on the property as well. The employee there brings you some fresh produce which is kind. The rooster was a bit annoying but our camper van's fan covered most of it.
Great spot - far enough away to enjoy the stars at night but close enough to Marco & Naples for easy day trips. The amenities (screened area, grills, shower & toilets were well designed. We found the site private & peaceful after long days of exploring the area.
I really enjoyed my quick lil stay at pollination farm ! Being able to pick my own spot in such a cute little area among the trees felt so at home, and I even got the chance to use the hot shower which was exactly what I needed at the end of the day :) The hosts were so friendly !
This site was kind of off the grid with amenities which was right up my alley. Amanda was helpful and friendly. Richard was the same and brought fresh fruit and veggies around every day which i enjoyed to no end. I caught a few fish in the pond and had great time !
