Stay by a lovely pond on 33 acre fruit and ornamental tree nursery property with great vibes. Located near I-75 just 20 miles South of Tampa, 35 miles east of Saint Petersburg, 35 miles North of Sarasota, 2 hours West of Orlando. This property is home to a farm/nursery operation and has a large pond on the west side. Approximately 33 private acres allows for space and social distancing. Site is loaded with hundreds of fruit trees Lychee, Mango, Starfruit, Papaya, Guava), and thousands of banana plants. Fishing can be great, wildlife and bird watching too. Fenced and gated for safety, this old historic nursery property has good vibes and plenty to offer. Until you see it - you really may not understand. Part s of property are wide open, other areas are rugged and difficult to walk through including some wetland areas. The nursery has plenty of trees, & some fields - large pond is surrounded by cattails and marsh/wetlands and has fish (Bass, Tilapia, Sunfish, Catfish). Several species of wildlife have been seen on the property. We think the property is lovely, and definitely want you to enjoy your camping experience!

Site 8 West Road

Unique farm RV Camp

Ive been RVing at this location for several months now and i love it. Its very unique. The camp is actually a farm run by a super great guy named Mike. Mike is about as welcoming and accommadating as a camp host gets! He does all he can to make sure your stay is a pleasant experience. The farm itself has beautiful fruit trees everywhere surrounding a nice lake. You can walk the grounds, fish from a kayak, or just enjoy the laid back nature of the area. The camp is pet friendly and our fur babies love it here. Chickens and guineafowl come visit us daily and have become our buddies! Water is available as well as a port a potty and showers available on request. Fresh fruit and eggs are available for purchase. Rates are very reasonable. You should consider this location for your next camping or RV adventure.

Site 6 West Road

Absolutely amazing

Stumbled on this place when looking for a last minute campsite and couldn’t feel more lucky for doing so! The location was beautiful, peaceful, and of course so reasonably priced. Mike and Bill are extremely welcoming and helpful to anything their campers might need. Stayed for 2 weeks and I will definitely be back in the future!

Site 15 - new South Site

Always kind and accommodating!

We love staying here. The view from site 15 is amazing. Probably the best view here. We have stayed many many times and keep coming back. This place is great. Our home away from home. Our home is our camper but we always feel at home here.

Site 5 at S.W. Corner

The hosts were awesome! Very friendly and accommodating. All the campsites are about as primitive as it gets. Site 5 was somewhat developed by a previous tenant who apparently stayed for months, but also appeared to have been parting out a car based on the gas tank, floor mats, and other vehicle parts still left behind. Easily ignorable after nightfall but def noticeable during the day. Otherwise, it was peaceful and relaxed. The hosts were great. Warren was a good dude who was happy to help drop off firewood and deliver organic eggs directly to my site. Lots of room for improvement overall, but still, a great overall experience

Site 7 West Road

Lots of space in a tropical setting

Extremely friendly host and staff. Couldn't ask for more. We felt right at home and got a tour of the farm the next day. Kids had a blast fishing. Would always recommend for a day or two!
