Longtime campers, we were delighted to find this sweet place to stay for a few nights while exploring the springs. Staying three nights, we saw manatee (a tiny baby, too!), dolphin, and otter. We brought our own grill, but also had one evening cooking hotdogs at the campfire ring provided. The outdoor shower had great water pressure and the bathroom was clean. Kayaks and hammocks were available and loved! The fridge on appearance, was small, but actually quite spacious and the freezer worked great!
The only issue we ran into was that we didn't have a lot of space for our clothes, dry food, and gear inside the camper, so we went back and forth to our truck a bit. As we were cleaning to check out, my husband found food from a previous guest in the microwave, which was rather unfortunate. Overall, we were delighted to stay this close to the water and "camp". Certainly would recommend for all the glampers out there!

Absolutely loved camping here!!! We were extra happy with the location and all the great stuff to enjoy!! The outdoor shower felt so great after kayaking!! Manatees right outside in the morning....... How could anyone be unhappy in this little piece of paradise!?!
Be sure to go check out the Silver Dolphin for breakfast in the morning!!!
Ps, if you're not fun sized, just get dressed in the bathroom and don't forget to duck a little on your way in to bed lol

I had such a peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable experience at the Funky Flamingo. The camper is awesome, just right for 1 person or a couple. The a/c, fridge, microwave and tv worked perfectly. The live in caretakers were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return and recommend to my friends and family.

My daughter and I spent 4 glorious days at The Funky Flamingo and we can’t wait to go back! What an absolutely spectacular experience. Ladies, if you need a getaway and you appreciate real, old world Florida, this place is for you.
The camper is situated on a peninsula between a canal that leads to the Mud River and Mud Spring and we used the kayaks available for guests, every day. We paddled to Hospital Hole, saw dolphins and manatees (both at camp and in the Weeki Wachee River) and tons of fish and other wildlife. The camper itself is well appointed and comfortable, with ice cold air if you’re there in the warmer months. We appreciated the spacious mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker, but we were able to set up a griddle outside the camper to cook some of our meals. The beds were super comfy, and we loved opening up the windows in the morning to let the morning breeze blow through. LOVED the market lights outside the camper at night and the outdoor shower was hot and pretty special. We used the fire pit the last night at camp … so cozy and secluded. Check in was a breeze and both Andrea, and Tabitha who takes care of housekeeping, are awesome. Check out the Weeki Wachee Outpost for ice and other necessities.
Definitely put The Funky Flamingo on your list!

We loved the site and everything it had to offer! The binder full of guest reviews and insight was incredibly helpful when it came to our kayaking trip. We were able to see 2 manatees and it was a surreal experience. Couldn’t recommend the place enough!

We absolutely loved the Funky Flamingo tiny camper!! It was such a great/fun weekend. Everything was there that was needed-did not, by far, need to bring as much as we did and it was clean!
I personally loved, loved, loved the outdoor shower!
Right on the water and kayaks provided!
The only thing that was mild, was that we had to duck to stand in camper but we were prepared for that and were out and about most of the time anyway-no biggie at all. Still had the best time!!
Thank you so much for an enjoyable stay.

What a perfect spot for a hipcamp. Right on the water. Beautiful views. The camper was ADORABLE. Everything was well kept, clean. Staff was helpful and amazing. Having a TV in the camper was a plus during the rain. Frig and microwave a plus. I would definitely revisit. Thank you

My husband and I stayed here for our 12-year wedding anniversary. It was a lovely little camper and the surroundings were beautiful. We saw so many manatees alligators birds and friendly people. The camper was very adequate for sleeping and staying cool it was also super cute. The kayaks that are provided are really fun to use and see the wildlife even more up close. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants an outdoor adventure get away in my humble opinion it was perfect.

Super cute camping spot, the perfect size for a weekend getaway. Being right beside the river is really convenient, especially when you can just grab a kayak and go out whenever you want.

The camper is super cute! It's also VERY TINY! We couldn't stand up all the way inside, the beds were way to skinny to accommodate a Wisconsin sized adult. There was a small heater in the camper, and it got cold enough to want to use it, but there were no instructions and I didn't want to burn the camper down! Fabulous location, free kayaks and a cute little mini beach, super adorable decorations a throughout, but too dang small for regular people!

We loved our stay at the Funky Flamingo! The river is gorgeous. We enjoyed sunset and morning paddles around the Mud River and to the Hospital Hole. The shower was hot and everything was clean. The AC was cold. There are also some great restaurants nearby. I should note that this camper is very small though. If you are tall, you might not be comfortable. I am 5’5”, and my head touched the ceiling. The beds are smaller than twins. The owners do have other rentals on site. I am hoping to try one of them in the future because the location is amazing, and they put a lot of care into the property.

My husband and I loved staying in this cute camper! This is our first time “glamping,” but with this heat wave in Florida, air conditioning was a must for us! This place is very tiny but it had everything we needed and so much more than anything you would have if you were actually camping! They had a mini fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, coffee, sugar , creamer, glassware plates, etc.
They even had a tv. And it was decorated so cute!! We loved our stay!
There is also a shower, toilet and sink just a few steps away in another building.
There were
Two single kayaks for us to use for free.
The owner responded very quickly to all of my questions. We would gladly stay here again!
