Going on Year 4 as a hipcamp host! We are so grateful to have met such wonderful guests over the years! This land is very special to us and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. The perfect place to unwind and disconnect from the busy day to day surrounded by nature, farm animals and wildlife. Located in one of the best spots in SW Florida! Hiking trails, horse farms, shopping, restaurants, recreational activities and within minutes from the beautiful FL beaches. Ideal for a weekend getaway or a snowbird vacation!Pitch your tent or trailer in the pasture under the beautiful Florida Oak trees surrounded by horses and native wildlife. Enjoy the quiet nights underneath the stars. Cozy up by a fire, and wake up to the amazing Florida sunrises and birds chirping in sweet serenity. You will have your own site and plenty of space for privacy. Feel free to pet the horses or the chickens if you desire. Please use caution as they may think you have food. We love dogs and they are always welcome, however, we ask that you keep them on a leash and clean up after them at all times. Please respect other guests and their space. Please throw all trash away in the trash/recycle bins in the front of the property. Children must be supervised at all times. There are 3 fire pits that you are welcomed to use. Please leave the fire rings where they are to prevent fires and never leave the fire unattended/ water it down before bed. Outdoor charcoal grill available to use upon request. Maximum of 30 amp electric and water hookup is included for all sites- no sewer hookup. Self contained sites. We kindly ask guests to be mindful of energy usage- please do not use multiple high powered appliances simultaneously to prevent overload. SEPTIC DUMP NEARBY- Venice Myakka RV Resort Our ranch is near many great hiking trails, amazing beaches, restaurants, and there are plenty of activities around for families. TOP RECOMMENDATIONS: Manasota Key Beach (quiet/secluded) eat at the Sandbar or Lock N Key Visit Boca Grande for shopping, beaches, food, and golf Hike Eagle Trail in Lemon Bay Park Best seafood in town: Farlow's (conveniently around the corner) Visit #1 beach in Florida - Siesta Key and stroll around St Armond's Happy to answer any questions!

Serene farm stay on Bell Oaks Ranch
Great place to stay!
The owners are so nice and welcoming. The bathroom and shower were very nice. We liked the atmosphere as well. It was indeed serene and peaceful. We were the only campers this time around likely due to the time of year. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

Serene farm stay on Bell Oaks Ranch
We had a nice stay, nice property. The area in general is really great! Amazing beaches, very yum food and bar choices closeby. We were assigned site 2 prior to our arrival. We were greeted by the property caretaker, Jimmy. He instructed us to pull into the site vs. backing in, so that our front door faced away from the house...which was fine, but the water and electric pedestal ended up being in our front door area vs. behind/side of the camper. Lots of trees, but no real shade. Site 3 might get a lil bit of shade. Site 1, zero shade. We chose this hipcamp without a sewer because it has a bathroom. It has a fan, but omg!! it is stifling hot in there (no ac)! My boyfriend would come back from the bathroom dripping sweat. This is May... I cant imagine the hotter months. We dug Bobo coming to say hi and being social and making her cute liitle chicken noises, but pooping on my woven mat, and carpeted steps, eh, not so much. Smelly, messy cleanup. Watch where you step! We appreciated the local recommendations.

We had a great, relaxing time at BELL OAKS RANCH. It was very quiet and serene, yet only 5 minutes from restaurants and the beach. Everyone at the Ranch was very friendly. We loved the friendly animals. We will probably be there again sometime and will definitely recommend it to our family and friends.
