We got there and there as nobody to greet us or tell us where to go, there are no lights or site markers so my partner and I walked around in the pitch black Florida country for 2 hours until coming across another couple who also couldn’t find their site. We exchanged numbers and got another hosts number from them, Katy the host never answered us and her voice “mailbox” was full. Math who I’m assuming is Katy’s partner or relation tried to tell us where to go but there were already people in our site. On top of that Katy said that we either have to camp in our car or pitch a tent after we booked the yert “glamping” experience and paid for it. They never refunded any of our money and we didn’t even stay in the site we reserved. Math ended up putting us in his “personal” yert that I guess nobody uses but on the website but people can still book? It was dusty and there were holes in the clearly not washed satin curtains, the art is subjectively dark and the “lake” is a puddle that’s slowly drying up, there is no privacy and you have to walk through others sites to get to the rest of the camp. When you first pull in it’s like pulling into someone’s back yard the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper and saw dust and the shower wouldn't turn off. We didn’t even stay to see how it was during the day as soon as we woke up we were out of there even though we paid for 2 nights. If you see Katy O. trying to host just save yourself some time and money and avoid anything to do with it.

The Flat Land Center Camp
Strange place. I showed up 15 minutes prior to my check-in at 2pm. I had no clue where the campground was and nobody was around to show me. I just wandered around until I found it. Turns out you have to walk all your stuff to your site. That wasn’t specified in the listing. I followed the vague directions about where my particular spot was and the only bring-your-own-tent spot I saw had trash in it. The host didn’t respond to me when I asked for confirmation about my specific site, so I settled at a site that had a tent already setup right next to it until they came and kicked me out and said they couldn’t offer me the upgrade because someone booked that spot I was in. I obliged and moved to the unsuspecting spot which is quite the downgrade. No fire ring, no table, no nothing. She moved the trashed and was kind enough to get a cooking grill for the fire “hole” i had to build a fire in. I setup my tent and everything which I was prepared for so no biggie. Nobody ever showed up to the site they supposedly had booked so I could’ve upgraded instead of setting up elsewhere. O well, your loss. The next day there was a truck stuck in the ditch right next to the entrance with its blinkers on and doors wide open. It remained like this for 3 hours. In the morning, a man started flying a drone over the campground and luckily ran into a tree before he could invade everyone’s privacy. Overall, the place was not well kept and communication/direction was minimal.

The host did not respond promptly to my messages or questions, she was not there on-site when I arrived so I did not know where to go. The camp was poorly maintained with trash around and rotting structures. The only person on sight when I arrived was a woman sitting in a car who had mental health issues and she told me about a man who lived in the one building on this site who would harass her. I did not feel safe to stay here so I left and the host was not forth coming with a refund. A partial refund finally did come after contacting the administration. I would not recommend staying at this camp to anyone.

I never made it to the Center. It may be a nice place to stay but I've had issues with the Host and Hipcamp.
First I was sure that I booked two nights as I paid 2X the nightly rate plus $20.00. When I advised the host that I would not be there for the first night she tells me I only booked one night but she'll apply that to the next night. Nice of her.
When I inquired about the difference between the published rate, $66.20/night and what I was charged, $153.25, I got no explanation just that according to her cancellation policy, if you don't show up the first night then you forfeit all of your reservation. I could find no cancellation policy anywhere on the Flat Land page or at HipCamp.
I had a lot of trouble logging into my account with the Hipcamp app and like all online businesses today, it's impossible to talk to a human.
Is Flat Land a nice place to stay, I don't know, other reviews say so. Would I book with this person again, NO, I don't conduct business like this and I don't do business with people and businesses that do. I've requested a refund of the over charge but I'm not holding my breath.

Needs maintenance. Toilets were so full I couldn't wipe sitting down. I see potential, but they might have gotten ahead of themselves. Host was nice even though she had no idea we were showing up? Booked for 2 nights, but left after the first night. Kitchen/dishwashing area very gross. Loud. Garbage. Felt like we were just in their yard. Listing grossly misrepresented the yard we camped in. Again, host was friendly.
