I had such a peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable experience at the Funky Flamingo. The camper is awesome, just right for 1 person or a couple. The a/c, fridge, microwave and tv worked perfectly. The live in caretakers were very friendly and helpful. I will definitely return and recommend to my friends and family.

We loved our time in this little camper. It’s in a great location, felt private enough and had all the dishes, etc we needed.

The Fantastic Funky Flamingo

My daughter and I spent 4 glorious days at The Funky Flamingo and we can’t wait to go back! What an absolutely spectacular experience. Ladies, if you need a getaway and you appreciate real, old world Florida, this place is for you. The camper is situated on a peninsula between a canal that leads to the Mud River and Mud Spring and we used the kayaks available for guests, every day. We paddled to Hospital Hole, saw dolphins and manatees (both at camp and in the Weeki Wachee River) and tons of fish and other wildlife. The camper itself is well appointed and comfortable, with ice cold air if you’re there in the warmer months. We appreciated the spacious mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker, but we were able to set up a griddle outside the camper to cook some of our meals. The beds were super comfy, and we loved opening up the windows in the morning to let the morning breeze blow through. LOVED the market lights outside the camper at night and the outdoor shower was hot and pretty special. We used the fire pit the last night at camp … so cozy and secluded. Check in was a breeze and both Andrea, and Tabitha who takes care of housekeeping, are awesome. Check out the Weeki Wachee Outpost for ice and other necessities. Definitely put The Funky Flamingo on your list!

We loved the site and everything it had to offer! The binder full of guest reviews and insight was incredibly helpful when it came to our kayaking trip. We were able to see 2 manatees and it was a surreal experience. Couldn’t recommend the place enough!
