Welcome to the "Wild and Scenic Myakka River"!
Our 20 acre ranch has everything from Longhorn cattle, to a white sand beach. We like to say our sand is like Siesta Key, except it's...in a swamp. Our property is not too far upstream from the Myakka State park, and parking is never a problem. ;-)
We have a beautiful homestead, and you have the choice of a furnished camper with water and power hookups in our pasture, or 2 primative tent or RV spots on the edge of a beautiful stand of Live Oak trees and Sabal palms along the river.
We have a porta potty on site that is regularly maintained.
Bring your family, bring your dog, bring your friends.....and don't forget to bring a fishing pole!

Beautiful piece of property and lots of trees. Tess and her sister Lisa and working very hard to make this a campers paradise. 🏕️ They just purchased the land a year ago.
They are the best hostesses I've ever had and have thought of just about anything you could want or need for camping.
They welcomed both dogs with open arms along with their dog Goliath!!
The river for swimming, fishing, kayaking, etc is like a mile away. Easy access and fun!!

Such a beautiful piece of property. Well taken care of, clean, and safe for me and my dog. I will definitely be coming back. My hosts were attentive yet I had plenty of privacy. The barn space was beautifully done with a swing bed for napping, huge shower, and useful kitchen. Can’t recommend this place enough. I originally booked it because my usual campgrounds were full and so happy it worked out that way. River junction is less than two miles away so I enjoyed my own private beach on the river after my activities. Do yourself a favor and take a few days to stay here and enjoy nature with some lovely hosts with great energy.

It was a wonderful relaxing stay!
Dona was a fantastic host and the tour was amazing! To see that many foxes up close, to feed them eggs was a bucket list moment!!
Relaxing on the porch listening to the melodic howl of the papa new guinea dingo was something I didn’t know I needed in my life!!
Also, the horses literally running around playing together is something I have never seen despite staying at horse sanctuaries before.
Book now you won’t regret it!

We had a great time staying here. It feels secluded but was just a short drive to town. Lots of great options within a couple hours drive for day trips, and we appreciated Dona showing us the animals in the sanctuary and sharing her story. Thank you for the accommodations!

With pets
Dominic was very responsive, helpful, and a super nice host. We're in a 39 ft fifth wheel with a long bed truck, so we can't turn worth a darn. Getting into the site was a challenge for us mostly due to immoveable objects (lamp post, storage tent, tree stump), but we also aren't very good at backing in. Dominic did recommend we back in through the property gate to be at the proper angle to get into the site, but we weren't confident we could do that given the narrow road & our long turn radius. Once in the site, all was wonderful. Shorter rigs likely have no problem. Great FHU site. Trees provide shade during most of the day. Very quiet atmoshere, even during evenings. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

The property had three different places to stay. We chose the “Florida Breeze” which was a two bedroom “Barndominium”. Although we didn’t need a two bedroom this particular property was very large inside and had plenty of room for us and our three greyhounds. The property was well maintained, clean, and had everything we needed. On site the host runs an exotic animal sanctuary where they rescue rare animals. We took a tour of the property and saw a huge variety of different birds, some foxes, prairie dogs, lemurs, sheep, deer, horses, and tortoise. The host was very accommodating and friendly, plus we only saw them if we needed something. I would definitely stay here again if I’m ever traveling in the area.

I can’t recommend Gulf Wind and Dona’s sanctuary enough! My son and I had planned a weekend camping outing originally scheduled at another location. We quickly realized the other location was not anywhere near what had been advertised and so I quickly contacted Dona to see if she had some last minute availability on her property. Dona was wonderfully responsive and super accommodating and so we headed over to hers as soon as possible.
Our experience at Gulf Wind was beyond what we could have expected! The cabin was perfect, it was outfitted with everything we needed, and Dona also went the extra mile to bring us a firepit so we could make dinner and s’mores over the fire.
Dona gave us a tour of the sanctuary and took the time to educate us on the animals and their efforts to keep them safe and healthy. My son was so thrilled to interact with these special animals and to get to know their personalities and preferences.
We will absolutely be back. Diego’s cabin was the perfect size for us. Next time we come (and there will be a next time!) we will try the larger Florida Breeze cabin with more of our family to change things up!
Thank you, Dona and family, for being so welcoming and accommodating. You seriously enriched my son’s experience and we appreciate what you’re doing for these amazing animals.

A very lovely place with truly welcoming hosts. The room itself was neat, clean, and very comfortable to stay in. I especially enjoyed the wide variety of animals — it was such a delightful surprise! I was particularly impressed by the parrot that dances so charmingly. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to treat themselves and their family to a unique experience with animals.
