We rode out hurricane Milton at this location after evacuating from the Tampa Bay area. The house itself is very charming and cozy and kept us warm and dry despite the downpour. Dan and Margaret were very accommodating and understanding of our situation. They were easy to get a hold of and helped with any problems that came up--the power went out for a few hours, and the lock on the front door had a small malfunction but both of these problems were resolved quickly. We really enjoyed our stay even despite the hurricane and we look forward to returning one day.

We had a wonderful time as everything we wanted to visit was close by, but La Fish Camp was secluded enough that we had plenty of peace and quiet.

This is the perfect little getaway. The wildlife was amazing; from fireflies to manatees. The stars at night are beautiful. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a little getaway.

Our first time on this property, but our third year with Dan and Margaret as our hosts. Canoe access in the yard, and near other beautiful rivers, made it perfect for us. Very clean and relaxing spot.

Relaxing and cozy
We would love to come back. The home had everything we needed to just relax. We fished off the dock and on night one, caught a few large catfish and some bass. Fried them up and enjoyed great freah fish. We had a fire and watched the stars and even enjoyed a few movie nights. Would recommend.

Great place
We had a lot of fun fishing off the dock and even saw an Alligator. The place is close to local eating spots and close enough to rainbow springs to go kayaking. House was nice and clean. Only downfall which is nothing towards the owners. Just be on the look out for airboats speeding through while fishing. But we will definitely be booking again

Just what we needed
La Fish Camp was just what we needed. A few friends looking for an affordable get away 1 hour from Tampa home. Property is on a canal very close to main river. Large yard and fire pit was nice. Large dock to hang out on. The home was more spacious than the pictures portrayed and was more than adequate for our group of 3 guys just wanting to hang out on the river for a long weekend. Red's was great for breakfast and within walking distance and Stumpknockers was maybe a 1/2 mile away for awesome steaks and seafood in an old Florida setting. Dan was very accommodating and was always available to answer any questions we had throughout the entire booking process and stay.

2 bedroom not 3, enjoyed our stay.
Good location. Fished right off dock, golfing, state parks, manatee viewing, equestrian center, outdoor free music venue Friday and Sat.at Circle Square Commons, all within 30 miles or less. Large living area with queen pullout sofa ok. Double bed comfy enough and bunk beds in other bedroom. vrbo listed queen in great room besides not so. Kitchen table sat 4 comfortably with good size living area and kitchen. Laundry and restaurants nearby along with grocery stores. Traffic noise noticable when outside but enjoyed cookong on charcoal grill and using fire pit a few evening. Dan was very accommodating with info and brought firewood. Easy to find mobile house with flag in yard.

wonderful get away
We loved our stay! Very simple, remote, and in nature. It was perfect for my husband and I and our two teenagers! It was private with a dock to fish off of. So nice to get back from a busy day, pour a cocktail and hang out fishing. Great part was the small alligator we befriended. very welcoming and the hosts were great! Made sure we were happy! I would definetly recomend for a small family or couple!

Great Memories Made at La Fish Camp
We had an amazing stay at this cozy home. It was extremely clean and had all of the essentials. The dock was really cool, especially with the string lights turned on at night. The location was perfect for visiting the springs, and there were many great restaurants near by. I can’t wait to stay again!
