Happy Campers Rescue Ranch

Sandy Stars 2 was a hit once again. We saw tons of shooting stars the first night and loved movie night on the projector screen. We spent our days exploring the coast at Crystal River and paddling down Rainbow River. Both are an easy 15-20 minute drive from the campground. The animals were fun to interact with, neighboring campers were friendly, and host was upbeat and accommodating. Wilbur the pig is a great ambassador to the campground and honestly I would come back just to spend time with him. Overall 10/10 experience, this place is on my all time favorites list for Florida camp sites. Thanks again to Arcadio and his family for another wonderful weekend!

We had a great time! It was my kids' and pup's first camping experience. Arcadio was super helpful and accommodating. We loved the animal rescue. Such a cool idea to let kids play on a playground in the same pen as the animals. My dog was able to run and play with us, off leash. We enjoyed the other families that were staying on the property while also having privacy, with our campsite tucked away from them. This was also our first hipcamp booking and I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for a family camping experience 😁

We were at Happy Campers Rescue Ranch to return our 20' Uhaul truck and auto trailer. What a pleasant experience we had with Arcadio who greeted us with such a genuine smile and kind demeanor. He made the checkin process easy. After, he showed us around his property and introduced us to his rescue animals. We will definitely refer our friends and family who visit us to consider staying with Happy Campers Rescue Ranch.

$30 for a beat up fire ring & an unserviced dry porta-potty. Soft sandy roads, but I was able to get through. Sure the animals are cool & the hosts are very nice, but in terms of amenities for campgrounds this should be $5-10. **Updating to 3 stars as I missed the communications over Hipcamp about the damaged fire ring

Had an awesome weekend with the grandkids at Happy Campers! Very friendly & accomdodating hosts! They let our family join us for a cookout, they watched our dog while we went tubing & had a great movie night at our site...they were truly a delight to work with and very responsive. They were also very understanding of our late departure as we got hit with a rainstorm. My grandchildren fell in love with all the animals, however, I think Billy & Wilbur stole their hearts ❤️. My grandson was a little iffy about the one he dubbed as "the emo chicken" haha. We had a great time & will definately return.
