Our RV Campsites are located in a grassy field next to dense woods. Electric and water hookups are included in the RV/Camper sites, but not the Tent Site. All sites have a picnic table and fire ring. Our newly renovated restrooms on the property have toilets and one shower. A boardwalk takes you along the Cotee River to our open air pavilions with several places to sit and enjoy nature. Cell phone service is not a problem, as we are not that remote (although it sort of feels like we are when you are here) - we are 5 min from downtown New Port Richey, 2 minutes from groceries, gas, restaurants. This beautiful slice of Old Florida is named for the Pithlachascotee River that bends along the back side of the property. Pithlo is the Creek word meaning canoe, and chaskita means to dig or chop out, together signifying "place where canoes are chopped or dug out". Seminoles of this area used canoes dug out from the great cypress trees found along Florida rivers. From the 1980s until 2014, this property was owned by the Cotee River Lions Club. They held a popular monthly pancake breakfast fundraiser in the large pavilion along the river. We purchased this 4.9 acres of land in late 2019. It is now where we live and have a woodworking shop. It has been a magical place for us, with no shortage of wildlife, rich jungle forest, a lazy winding narrow river, and even the occasion river otter sighting. We are grateful to all the humans who have occupied this place over the centuries before us for keeping it as nature intended it. It is our intention to do our part to conserve and protect its natural beauty as long as possible. We hope you find it to be as restful and rejuvenating as we do.

Corner Tent Site
My husband and I really enjoyed the 3 nights at the Conor tent site. The bathroom is clean and currently there is shower available (hot water works great on cold nights!) in men’s room only. There might be occasional traffic sounds during the night, but nothing too crazy. Overall great place, will consider going back!

Corner Tent Site
Loved this site for getting slightly away from the city. Still in a populated area so you can do thing s if you want. The tent site is in a back corner of the lot which was perfect. They have made a boardwalk on the Property too where I did my morning reading. There’s also a peacock on property right now how isn’t aggressive and a cool site

RV Camper Site 1
We had a peaceful stay; with the camp all to ourselves. This Hipcamp is definitely on our we'd Stay again list!! The bathrooms were immaculently clean! J.R. is currently remodeling the bathrooms to include a shower stall for campers...expected to be complete by early 2025. We ventured over to Tarpon Springs...walked downtown, visited a great "free" history museum and then went down to the dock area. Had a great greek meal at Hellas! Fabulous weekend get away!

Cotee River Yard Temp. Storage Site
Quiet spot in a good location. Easy to park and stay. Seemed to be hookups and good spots to place a tent down. Laura also had great communication
