The Retreat At Boxwood Gardens

4. The Retreat At Boxwood Gardens

48mi from Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park · 10 sites · RVs · Naples, FL
The Retreat at Boxwood Gardens is a quiet, tropical stopover for Class B and Class C RVs, campervans, and vehicles with trailers. The ten private sites sit behind thick greenery along a major thoroughfare in Naples, Florida. Boxwood Gardens is centrally located, so guests may notice a bit of busier traffic during rush hours, but for the rest of the day — especially in the evenings — it settles into a calm, relaxing atmosphere thanks to the surrounding gardens. With quick access to I-75, world-class beaches, golf courses, and excellent shopping and dining, the retreat offers an easy mix of comfort, convenience, and natural charm. It’s a friendly, laid-back spot for travelers who want tropical scenery, comfort, and proximity to everything Naples has to offer.

Rasayana Cove is a 25-acre eco-retreat located in the heartland of west central Florida. An hour's drive east of Sarasota surrounded by vast tracts of orange groves and ranch land, Rasayana Cove has been operating as a small retreat center since 1995. The long eastern boundary borders Horse Creek, a major tributary of the Peace River. The property features two spring-fed ponds - one small and the other large.  The cabins are accessible by well constructed shell-topped roads with good drainage and a variety of nature pathways.  A natural ecosystem remains undisturbed in the middle of the property - a Florida bay head of native flora and wildlife. While most of the state is crowded and overdeveloped, this eco-retreat offers a haven of peace in the pristine nature of Florida

Magical Pond On Flitterbug Farm

38mi from Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park · 6 sites · Tents · Labelle, FL
Flitterbug Farm is home to a collection of majestic oak trees covered in spanish moss, ferns, and flowering vines. The oak trees loom high over a glittering pond, which is great for swimming during the summer months when the water is high. Tropical fruit trees, vegetables, herbs, and flowers decorate our gardens while chickens and bees wander the land. Expect beautiful stars, local wildlife such as owls and chameleons, an outdoor shower, and a "hippie hot tub" powered by a campfire. Sunsets on Flitterbug Farm are truly epic. The land is close to 180 miles of local kayak trails (we rent kayaks!), a 10 minute drive from beautiful walking trails, and about an hour from the beach. We offer a rustic composting toilet, a heated outdoor shower, and a simple kitchen with a sink and stovetop. Note: Flitterbug Farm is in a rural, agricultural part of South Florida. The setting is peaceful, but it’s also alive with the sounds of farm life and wildlife. You may hear roosters, dogs, owls, frogs, and the usual country activity from nearby neighbors. We provide complimentary earplugs for light sleepers, and many guests find the natural soundscape part of the charm, but we want you to know what to expect.

Welcome to our 5 acre property tucked away in Buckingham Rural Community. You will have direct river access! My family fell in love with this property when we rescued it from disrepair, it was once known as "Harmony Gardens" and we invite you to join us bringing back the glory. Our property is home to all kinds of wildlife, we have cardinals, bluejays, barred owls, herons, swallow-tailed kites, warblers, huge pileated woodpeckers, and if you wander to the water you may see an alligator or manatee depending on the season. Orange River is the river that passes through the highly rated Manatee Park, we have kayaks and paddleboards available for your pleasure at an additional cost. We have typical comfort restaurants such as Cracker Barrel and Waffle house nearby but I would suggest local flavors of Buckingham Farms and Rum Bucket Grill. I-75 is about 10 minutes away so although we are tucked away, most of FL isnt too far for a day's trip.

Come enjoy a quiet getaway at Healing Tree Homestead. Our 5 acres is close enough to I-75 and in-town amenities to be convenient but far enough away to offer a peaceful rest from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tent site has a clear view of the large pond and property, and the RV site is tucked between a banana circle and the nursery. We’re a working homestead that’s constantly growing and changing, and there are sheep, goats, chickens, a dog, cats and a bunch of kiddos, but we all have our own spaces away from the RV and tent campsites. Part of the property is a nursery, part of it is a young orchard, and most of it is used to free range our livestock. We work and live on site. If you would like to participate in feeding animals, planting trees or helping us prepare garden beds, we’d welcome the company. *Please note that we live off a dirt road that’s very bumpy and rural.

Weekend Trip to Privacy in Fort Ogden
This was our first time using Hipcamp and we had an amazing experience here. Our host Kevin, was very accommodating and he has a beautiful property. Feeding the animals was the highlight of the weekend for us! We also checked out fisherman’s village in Punta Gorda and it was only a 25 min drive from camp. Lots to do around this campground if you don’t want to stay at camp all day. We will be coming back!

Kelli’s land truly exceeded my expectations. What stood out the most was how peaceful and spacious everything felt. The little house and the entire property have beautiful details that reflect so much love in every corner. Each outdoor space welcomed me with a deep sense of peace, connection to nature, and the silence I was looking for. Kelli was incredibly kind and attentive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable. And the fresh eggs she brought us were absolutely delicious. If you’re seeking a serene, nature-filled place with a thoughtful and caring host, this is the perfect spot.

Weekend Trip to Magical Pond On Flitterbug Farm
A beautiful wide-open glade with a serene pond nearby made this spot absolutely perfect. We enjoyed a small fire right by our tent and camped beneath gorgeous trees that offered welcome shade as the day warmed up. The outdoor kitchen was great for cooking, and the firepit added to the classic camping experience. With virtually no light pollution, the night sky was incredible, stars everywhere. Trina, the host, couldn't have been kinder and even shared some fascinating history about the land. It's and ideal place to unwind and immerse yourself in nature while still being conveniently close to groceries and other essentials. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be returning.

What an amazing experience. Hesitant to leave a review because this place is going to stay booked and I want to come back often! Best host ever, a frame was cozy and relaxed, great stargazing and fun for my 5 year olds first of camping experiences. We did kayaks, jumped on the trampoline, roasted marshmallows hot dogs and told campfire stories. Also had some great conversations with the host, great human.

I really enjoyed Trina's place; I loved that she let my dog Bandit, play ball off leash. I think Bandit liked her too because he was right behind her "he normally doesn't leave my site" anyway you are provided with the necessities, a 2-burner propane stove, sink where you wash your dishes, she even filters the drinking water and puts it in a glass jug." how sweet is that" there is an out-house, oh and if you want to soak under the stars, there is an old cast-iron tub, you get to experience the way they did it back in the old days, by building a fire under the tub.! " hot tub "and a fire pit where you can hang out and meet new friends. let's not forget the shower also under the stars. " don't worry you have some privacy there" anyway it was my first hipcamp, Bandit and I had fun. stop by the Flitterbug Farm and tell Trina Norma says hi.

Super cute homestead with good vibes all around. A communal setting with a compost toilet, a shower, water, kitchen, etc. We camped with our 2 dogs and parked right by our site which was nice. Lots of roosters and dogs in the surrounding areas, but the site was pretty peaceful with a nice big tree to pitch our tent under!

We really enjoyed our campsite! John was an excellent host -- checking in with us but also letting us do our own thing. We brought paddle boards and spent the entire day paddling Shell Creek and taking in the beauty of nature. The campsite was huge and very shady. It mentioned being sloped but that was really very, very tiny. We have a 13' Scamp and easily got it leveled. We will definitely return!

The best camping in Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park, FL guide

Overview

About

A Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park camping adventure beckons to those eager to immerse themselves in Florida's pristine natural beauty. Spanning a whopping 45,387 acres, this park stands as the third largest in Florida, safeguarding over 100 miles of Charlotte Harbor's shoreline across Charlotte and Lee counties. Campers are treated to a diverse range of activities, from hiking and fishing to paddling amidst the park's varied ecosystems. The mangrove forests, marshes, scrub habitats, and pine flatwoods each offer a unique backdrop for exploration. The majority of the park is characterized by shallow waters bordered by mangroves, making it a prime spot for observing wading birds, playful dolphins, gentle manatees, and an array of other wildlife. For those with a penchant for paddling, the park is a dream come true. Best accessed by kayak or canoe, campers can navigate portions of two paddle trail systems that meander through this natural haven. But if you're more of a landlubber, fret not! Charlotte Harbor's upland areas are accessible to hikers and bird-watchers through pedestrian walk-throughs in various park sections. With three marked trails to choose from, every trek promises new discoveries. So, campers, if you're yearning for a blend of aquatic adventures and terrestrial treks, camping near Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park is your ticket to an unforgettable outdoor experience.

When to go

The best time to visit Charlotte Harbor Preserve State Park is during the cooler, drier months from November to April. Wildlife viewing is prime, and the weather is ideal for hiking and paddling. Summer brings heat, humidity, and the likelihood of afternoon thunderstorms, making it less comfortable for outdoor activities.

Know before you go

  • Check for trail closures before your visit, as maintenance may affect accessibility.
  • Remember, the park is open from sunrise until sunset.
  • No entrance fees are required, making it an accessible adventure for all.
  • Prepare for a remote experience; bring a compass, map, and plenty of water.
  • Accessible amenities are available, including the Charlotte Harbor Environmental Center and picnic facilities.
