🏕️ Sip & Sage Co. – The Bougie Backyard Getaway Not your typical Hipcamp. Not off-grid. Not remote. And not gonna lie—we don’t have goats or a mountain view... BUT we do have privacy screens wrapped around the whole space, a tree-covered backyard oasis, and one heck of a setup that’ll make you forget you're camping in a residential neighborhood. (Bonus: you can actually sleep at night without wondering if that noise was a raccoon or a serial killer.) This vintage camper may be small, but she’s mighty. Outfitted with a futon bed + a thick 6" foam mattress, she’s cozy enough for two—but let’s be real, you’re probably coming here to escape your kids, your job, or your loud in-laws. It’s giving "she shed meets sassy staycation." Inside: ❄️ Brand new 10,000 BTU A/C – You will get cold. You’ve been warned. 🧊 Small fridge for your bubbly or snacks (no cooking inside the camper though—this isn’t Top Chef). Outside: 🚽 A real camping toilet with a tank (none of that bag-it-and-hope-for-the-best stuff). 🚿 Cold-water outdoor shower + a vintage clawfoot soaking tub (hello boho luxury). 🌬️ Mister fans & shaded sails – keeping it cool, literally. 🍹 A full outdoor kitchen & tiki bar for mixing drinks or just feeling like you're on vacation. 🛋️ Outdoor couch/daybed for sun naps, deep thoughts, or binge-watching if you add the optional outdoor TV setup (extra fee applies—TVs don’t like dew). This space was designed by a mom who just needed a dang break. So Sip & Sage was born: part retreat, part glampfest, part wild idea turned into a whole vibe. There’s no bears, no bugs in your sleeping bag, and definitely no judgment if you show up with a bottle of wine and a face mask or bong and shots. (No parties though keep it low key) 📍Located on a quiet street in a safe residential area—you might hear a lawn mower or a giggling neighbor, but you won’t hear police sirens or wild party animals (unless it's you). So if you’re a camping newbie, a glamping goddess, or just someone who needs a little joy sprinkled on their week—this one’s for you. 💫

Looking for outdoor adventures you can fish from the Riverwalk pier, get on the nature trails at Robinson Preserve, take a kayak tour at De Soto National Memorial Park, and visit the area’s beaches. Anna Maria Island, a seven-mile-long barrier island on Florida’s Gulf Coast west of Bradenton, is brimming with history, arts and culture, and its award-winning beaches draw visitors from near and far looking for a laid-back getaway. See postcard-perfect Gulf sunsets, swim, snorkel, and dive the turquoise waters, look for shells and fossilized shark teeth, take a boat tour to spot dolphins, and enjoy some of the best waterfront dining in Florida.

🏕️ Sip & Sage Co. – The Bougie Backyard Getaway Not your typical Hipcamp. Not off-grid. Not remote. And not gonna lie—we don’t have goats or a mountain view... BUT we do have privacy screens wrapped around the whole space, a tree-covered backyard oasis, and one heck of a setup that’ll make you forget you're camping in a residential neighborhood. (Bonus: you can actually sleep at night without wondering if that noise was a raccoon or a serial killer.) This vintage camper may be small, but she’s mighty. Outfitted with a futon bed + a thick 6" foam mattress, she’s cozy enough for two—but let’s be real, you’re probably coming here to escape your kids, your job, or your loud in-laws. It’s giving "she shed meets sassy staycation." Inside: ❄️ Brand new 10,000 BTU A/C – You will get cold. You’ve been warned. 🧊 Small fridge for your bubbly or snacks (no cooking inside the camper though—this isn’t Top Chef). Outside: 🚽 A real camping toilet with a tank (none of that bag-it-and-hope-for-the-best stuff). 🚿 Cold-water outdoor shower + a vintage clawfoot soaking tub (hello boho luxury). 🌬️ Mister fans & shaded sails – keeping it cool, literally. 🍹 A full outdoor kitchen & tiki bar for mixing drinks or just feeling like you're on vacation. 🛋️ Outdoor couch/daybed for sun naps, deep thoughts, or binge-watching if you add the optional outdoor TV setup (extra fee applies—TVs don’t like dew). This space was designed by a mom who just needed a dang break. So Sip & Sage was born: part retreat, part glampfest, part wild idea turned into a whole vibe. There’s no bears, no bugs in your sleeping bag, and definitely no judgment if you show up with a bottle of wine and a face mask or bong and shots. (No parties though keep it low key) 📍Located on a quiet street in a safe residential area—you might hear a lawn mower or a giggling neighbor, but you won’t hear police sirens or wild party animals (unless it's you). So if you’re a camping newbie, a glamping goddess, or just someone who needs a little joy sprinkled on their week—this one’s for you. 💫
