Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

Everything was perfect 👌 👍 🥰. Would visit again and recommend friends and family

Weekend Trip to Costa Myakka

I loved camping at Becca and Kary’s spot, this is now my favorite camping place yet! I loved how quiet it was and serene- it felt like I was the only one there. My dog loved being able to swim in the river. Lots of time spent riverside sunbathing and reading. The porta potty was clean and convenient. The only sounds to be heard were birds and night sounds mostly, I did hear some moo’ing and a dog barking a little bit but it didn’t bother me at all… the whole weekend was SO PEACEFUL. I didn’t want to leave.

1 night at Heart of Cortez

Emiliie’s place was quite en close to the island and Bradenton Beach. She was so friendly to give us a ride to the island. ❤️

3 nights at Honey Bunny’s Urban Oasis

Jennifer was sweet and greeted me upon arrival. Driveway is spacious and in a very quiet neighbourhood. Close to a main road so it was easy to get to shopping, beaches etc. Would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

We loved our stay in the camper! The site is located on a farm which was really neat and we were able to see baby chickens and pet pigs! We stayed in a non-fruiting season (just missed starfruit) so we weren't able to get fruit but if you're lucky enough to stay when the trees are fruitful the owner was so kind to share! We slept soundly and accessed the farm by opening and closing the gates at the entrance was easy! There are so many fun things nearby, and not too far from downtown Tampa. Definitely would stay again!

Weekend Trip to Heart of Cortez

Quiet location in the middle of an Old Florida fishing village. Many great seafood restaurants in the area. Close to the beach. We enjoyed the simple beauty of the area. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

6 nights at Heart of Cortez

The location is perfect. Quiet neighborhood. There is a bike rental shop across the street and makes commuting to the beach easy, only 1 mile very easy and no need to to worry about the triffic or parking! I loved staying here! We had everything we needed! Free wifi too!

1 night at Costa Myakka

The property is expansive and we enjoyed walking around it with our dog. Splashed around and wasted in the water for over an hour. Dog zoomies in the water?? Priceless! We loved our tent-camping site but on our walk we saw several other nice sites and a picnic area. Next time we may rent kayaks! We were pleasantly surprised there was a port-o-john on the property, which was very clean. The only drawbacks were slight. When we stopped at the homestead to meet the host, a barking dog announced our arrival. No front door clearly visible, so it was several minutes of the dog barking non-stop and me calling out for anyone who may hear before someone came out. I may recommend training the son how to host if he is going to regularly be the greeter. We will bring a shovel next time in case there are cow patties on the campsite, as they are not removed in preparation for guests. Otherwise, we enjoyed the solitude and quiet. Unassuming place and we were left to our own devices. We will save the spot for future visits!

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...

We had the most amazing visit. Having my daughter get to see all the animals and fruit plants and trees. Sit by the lake and see bee hives! Definitely coming back!

Weekend Trip to Costa Myakka

We continue to have a wonderful experience every time we camp at Costa Myakka!! It’s so beautiful and tranquil.. We requested firewood and Cary brought us a big bunch of great logs to burn. I highly recommend staying there!!

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

We had a very nice stay at Taylor's place. Everything was as described, a fine, tranquil site with everything we needed. Our kids liked especially the horses.

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Bell Oaks Ranch is a wonderful place! If you want to spend some quiet weekends with R & R, or bring friends to enjoy a night of fun, sharing stories around the campfire while making s’mores, grilling hotdogs and making popcorns and lots of awesome reasons why we choose to go camping, consider Bell Oaks Ranch. We met the horses and they’re adorable!! Our camphost, Taylor was very helpful. Glad to see her again after many years! ❤️ We loved our site and we got to meet our friendly RV neighbors from Canada. It was fun walking at historic Dearborn and looking at amazing works by our Florida artists. Manasota Bay is beautiful! This is our 1st booking at HipCamp and it’s a great experience.

6 nights at By the Pond...

It's a fantastic spot. If you're looking for a central Florida type of get away you'll be hard pressed to beat this place. It's quiet, peaceful, birds galore. We spent 7 days here and I could easily spend 7 more. The hosts were great, they basically left us alone (in the best way, they were very attentive, friendly, and helpful). We traveled during spring break and had a beautiful site next to the pond. There's plenty of grocery and other types of stores within a few miles if you need anything but you'd never know it while sitting on site, it's very secluded and private. We'll be back for sure.

14 nights at Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

Such a beautiful and serene place to stay! The hosts were lovely and accommodating and we enjoyed our 2 week stay very much. The location is great being central to beaches and shopping.

2 nights at Costa Myakka

We love the solitude, starry nights, kayaking with no other soul in sight, watching otters play and listening to Barred Owls. Peace and nature.

1 night at Heart of Cortez

Very simple set up and close to the beach. Just what we needed as we were passing through on a long road trip.

Weekend Trip to Bell Oaks Ranch 5 min from Beach

They worked with us when we had our plans changed. They were very friendly and, with our support, brought their dog to meet ours. I strongly recommend rham

By the Pond...

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. The pond is Spring-fed at the headwaters of Marsh Branch Creek which begins at our property and flows West about five miles in to Tampa Bay. Approximately 33 private acres allows for plenty of space between our campsites. Property is home to a farm with hundreds of fruit trees- Lychee, Mango, Starfruit, Papaya, Guava). Red Mombin, 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. Parts of property are wide open, other areas are rugged and difficult to walk through including some wetland areas. The nursery has plenty of trees, and some fields -the 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!

Welcome to the "Wild and Scenic Myakka River"! Our 20 acre ranch has everything from Longhorn cattle, to a white sand beach. We like to say our sand is like Siesta Key, except it's...in a swamp. Our property is not too far upstream from the Myakka State park, and parking is never a problem. ;-) We have a beautiful homestead, and you have the choice of a furnished camper with water and power hookups in our pasture, or 2 primative tent or RV spots on the edge of a beautiful stand of Live Oak trees and Sabal palms along the river. We have a porta potty on site that is regularly maintained. Bring your family, bring your dog, bring your friends.....and don't forget to bring a fishing pole!
