My boyfriend and I recently stayed for three nights, and we had nothing but great experiences! We weren’t quite sure what to expect, as we typically camp in secluded spots with no cell phone reception; however, we planned a last minute trip out of town and chose the first nice looking spot on a body of water that seemed easy, serene, and did not require a lot of preparation. We are so glad we found Pirate River, and still feel like we lucked out!
The property is within close distance to any sort of amenity one might need while traveling, and along with good cell phone service, the campsite provides fresh water, charging outlets, and a clean, air conditioned restroom with a toilet and sink - which was especially appreciated on days hitting 95 degrees.
The river is immediately accessible, rife with fish, a comfortable temperature, and contains a lot of seaweed at that location. It’s perfect for kayaking, floating in a tube, taking a quick, refreshing dip, and - although sometimes frustrating due to the seaweed - fishing. (I caught one!)
Although the house is visible and perhaps about a one minute walk from the site, it felt private and unsurveilled. Roger is incredibly generous, accommodating, laid back, helpful, and a pleasure to talk to! We were worried about the lack of privacy at first, but it quickly became apparent that playing music and laughing by the fire late into the night were activities we didn’t have to worry about. It was tranquil and gorgeous.
