Timakwa Lakeside Campsites

We absolutely loved the camping area. It was very open, but also very beautiful. The tree house over seeing the lake is a view to remember !

Loved this land! Visited mid-June Summer 2026. Temp maybe 95° in the shade. Quiet and peaceful. WiFi available - ask the host. I work from home and set up my own Starlink (pic) but wifi is available. AC unit strong, an oil space heater is provided. Lights bright enough to see if you need and completely dark when off. Parking close. Bathrooms very clean with linens and soap/shampoo, great pressure and hot water, no ac/heat in bathrooms. I always camp with my own but it’s nice to have the options if you forget. Beds very comfortable and clean. Host provided microwave, mini fridge, Keurig coffee maker, coffee pods, creamer, sugar packets, salt, pepper, toaster, sink, soap, dishes & drainer, paper towels, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. Pans under sink but I didn’t check for cooking appliances. Like I said, I bring my own. Felt very safe and secure. Wildlife we saw were cranes and hawks and maybe a mink, ferret, or something resembling one. We will definitely return. There is a boat ramp. A few people were on the lake but Florida is experiencing a severe drought and the water level is really low everywhere. We saw a couple of boaters who won tags for alligators— to curb population (legal regulation). Beautiful peaceful place. Lighting bright if you need it, dark if you don’t. Ceiling fan inside and two outside. Host communicates very well. I always reach out before booking any HipCamp. I feel it is courteous especially if there are unforeseen circumstances with the booking.

I loved tent camping at Vinnys place. The bathrooms are amazing. The morning and afternoon symphonies sold me. Owls, Falcons, Cranes and LOTSA beautiful sounds that I couldn't identify. We were given permission to feed the donkeys some carrots and saw cows and horses in neighboring areas. The site was level and had a firepit, electric, and water. Since we were the only campers for the weekend my dog stayed off leash and loved it( we actually booked a 2nd night) Both Vinny and his dad were welcoming and accommodating.
