Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Welcome to Tranquil Oaks near the Gulf Coast! Secluded camping only 5 minutes from Lake Manatee State Park. Enjoy beautiful sunsets, s'mores by the fire pit, and experience a slice of old Florida charm while being only 10 minutes from I-75 and 40 minutes from the world-renowned white sand beaches of Anna Maria Island. Your site includes a large concrete patio with a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit. This secluded RV/tent campsite offers electric and you can fill up your water tank with our hose. The site is located next to our cattle ranch, and you will likely see our sweet herd of cows grazing in a nearby pasture (some of the friendly ones may come up to the fence to say hi). This offers you privacy while still being close to I-75 and all the modern conveniences (Publix supermarket is 1 mile away). We are third generation cattle ranchers here in beautiful Bradenton, Florida, and on our property you'll find many species of palm trees and tropical plants. Mornings are filled with birdsong, and you may see Sandhill Cranes, Ospreys, White Ibis, or even a Roseate Spoonbill -- and of course the rabbits, lizards and monarch butterflies that also enjoy this special little slice of paradise. We live in the house next door to the campsite, and you'll likely see Ryan around the property working during your stay. Our ranch offers you a chance to relax and reconnect with nature, while only being minutes from restaurants and convenience stores; 15 minutes from University Town Center, 15 minutes from Ellenton Outlets, and 30 minutes to downtown Sarasota.Moonrise Palms is a spacious, secluded campsite nestled among palm trees and live oaks. Enjoy coffee or a meal on the patio, roast s'mores on the fire pit, and take the time to just be in the moment. This is our only campsite at the moment, so you have all the who spot to yourself! (You may see us working on the cattle ranch nearby during your stay, and our house is next door to your campsite.) Back-in site includes electric, two Adirondack chairs, a fire pit, a large concrete patio area, and a large picnic table for you to enjoy. Everglades palms surround the eastern border of your campsite for added privacy (but please be careful, the palm fronds are very sharp). The campsite overlooks our cattle ranch to the south, and you will likely see some of our friendly cows in an adjacent pasture during your stay.
