Come get back to nature with camping at your comfort level and YES, we have A/C AND MINI HEATERS and a mini-fridge in all of our cabins. PLEASE note that there IS A PET FEE and AND WOOD FEE and it must be added when you complete booking (as Extras). Kayaks available for rent too! Whether you'd like a tent site (tents available) or a rustic cabin with lofts, we have what you're looking for. Get out of the city and get into nature. Just over an hour drive from Tampa or Orlando and you'll be laying in a hammock or making s'mores by the campfire. BUT REMEMBER, you are IN THE WOODS.. Bugs live in the woods and eliminating them all is never possible. Bring spray :) We spray weekly but there are all kinds of bugs around because you're camping! We even have Kayaks available for rent to head to Crystal River or Lake Henderson!

The Barn (Big Red)
Couples Getaway
I loved glam-camping at the barn! My husband and I wanted to escape from our everyday for a night and this was the perfect place. The views were beautiful and directions were clear. There was another site (beach house) nearby that was booked also but it was a good distance with no noise. Our favorites were sitting outback by the fire (we grilled hotdogs on open fire), laying on the futon inside with a light show we put on ourselves (featuring a nice speaker provided), and most importantly the peace and quiet. Using the “outhouse” was fun and oh boy do you need to spray yourself down for mosquitoes. They aren’t kidding about the level of mosquitoes, they were intense! The ac was phenomenal, parking was easy, and bed was comfortable. Dan met us when we arrived to let us know how to get in and he was very hospitable. BTW if you have a car, my recommendation is to rent a Kayak at Crystal River as we couldn’t transport the kayak we rented from Amy. All-in-all, so enjoyable, we definitely recommend!

The Beach House
Had a wonderful time with my two big fur babies, very relaxing and great place to feel like your camping without the hassel of actual camping. Had all the little things that i needed. And we explored the little wood behind the cabin.

The Barn (Big Red)
Barn was quiet and peaceful
My Bestie and I needed a night to relax and unwind. This was perfect. Quiet and beautiful with a fire and a bottle of wine. If your looking for a resort, this is not it. It IS glamping. With that being said, we had everything we needed. Made burgers and pasta at night with eggs n bacon in am. You can easily bring a crockpot as well. Shower cold but adorable. We would definitely recommend this place as well as come here again. Thanks Amy:)

The Barn (Big Red)
Great place, horrible hosts
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Barn (Big Red). It was nice to get out into the fresh air and enjoy nature, and this was the perfect spot to do so. With my 15yo son tragically lost his mother recently, this was a perfect place for him to relax and breathe. Although our stay was beautiful, after we had checked out, the hosts Amy and Dan had accused us of breaking a frame of a window, that we clearly didn't do or would have done. They were quite rude on the way of even asking about the window, in actuality, they didn't ask just accused us and said" what the heck did you do to our window" . And once explaining that we had nothing to do with what was being accused, they threatened to call the police. Love they place, but will never stay ever again, because I nor my family will NEVER be accused and threatened by anyone. So if you are gonna stay at Amy and Dan's place, I would recommend a LOT of pictures before layout head down.
