The good:
Property nice! Animals adorable! Host kind and present! If you have a dog and would prefer to be somewhere without a ton of other campers, this place works great.
Needs improvement:
-The "eco toilet" was literally a bucket with a bag in it, situated directly next to where you're camping. It was placed in a kind of lean-to (3 sides had slatted wood where you could see through the gaps, the 4th side was completely open but for a broken shower curtain). Zero privacy, zero toilet paper, and zero effort put into making it an appropriate and comfortable place to go.
-The "shower" was a garden hose that's supposed to hang above the lean-to, directly above the sh*t bucket. Um, no thank you. I just stood in the yard and soaped up in my bikini while my boyfriend sprayed me down with the garden hose attachment hahah. Seemed more hygienic to me lol.
To be clear, I have plenty of experience with bare bones living, including backwoods camping (google Temagami Thunderbox) and WOOFing on properties with actual eco toilets and solar showers made from natural and recycled materials, so when I say these facilities need improvement, it's not that I don't know how to "rough it."
To end on a positive note: The other spots on this property looked good. And while I don't think this site should be listed right now, with some very simple improvements to the "facilities," I could recommend it.

These guys are excellent hosts! Everyone was friendly and laid-back, as well as super accommodating. The pig was super sweet, Thomas the turkey kept us great conversational company, and the goats were adorable.

my family & i have been tent camping, traveling all through the state of florida w rainbow springs state park being last on our list. we came across arcadio & his property & there was a camper to rent too!? we thought PERFECT - it's just a 15 minute drive to the swimming/kayaking area! we had add ons such as eggs, firewood & a movie night. wood was there upon arrival, he walked the eggs over when we got there & the movie night was a hit w the kiddos!
we were traveling w a 120lb doggy & him being off leash was an option.
arcadio is such a kind, laid back dude that strives to make your stay as comfortable as possible! anytime we had an issue he was on site within a couple of minutes ready to problem solve.
our site was right across from the playground, so the kids were free to come & go from there. everyday they looked forward to taking our fruit scraps to wilbur! (the piggy) beautiful sunrises & sunsets, handy outdoor shower, fire ring was perfect for our cooking needs too.
thank you for having us; we hope to be back some day 10/10 recommend :)
