Hideout at The Green Swamp!

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Wild turkey calls at dawn and open skies after dark set the tone at this private property in Groveland, Florida. The campground sits on a working rural parcel with a large pond stocked with bass and catfish, and the surrounding wooded areas give tent campers room to spread out and choose their own spot. Reviewers note the grounds have been kept clean, and 30-amp electrical hookups with water connections are available for RV campers, though the property also accommodates tents.

Water access is a draw here. Campers have set up close to the pond in the wooded fringe, and the fishing is a consistent reason people return. The owner, Raphael, gets repeated mentions for being flexible and accommodating, including on check-out times. As ron R. puts it, "You're far enough away from the city to get an excellent view of the sky." Cell service is listed as available, and campfires, pets, and alcohol are all permitted. Firewood is on site.

Not every experience here has been consistent. One reviewer found the trash service unreliable and noted the highway noise was noticeable from the site, so campers should go in with realistic expectations about what the property provides. Amenities are minimal, particularly for tent campers without RV hookups. Nearby alternatives include Rebecca's Respite and Camp Lake Minnehaha for those wanting more developed facilities. This spot works best for self-sufficient campers, anglers, and hunters who prioritize water access and flexible hosting over polished infrastructure.

Hideout and swamp are about the only truths

Horrible for tent camping. Didn't own an RV. I'm just traveling through, and I went off of what information was listed. This place is pathetic. Not as advertised. Trash is not taken out regularly. One table on the ground, and it's not a picnic camping table. Tent campers have no showers or restroom. Freeway is very close and noisy. Campground is not really for campers. I'd stay away. This place is appearing fraudulent. Owner does not run this property accordingly. Seems like just a place to store RVs. Not for camping in tents or RVs. Stay away. There's much better camping across the state, regulated and maintained.

You don’t know how happy I am knowing that you are finally getting a f. out of here. I could not expect anything different from a person like you. Pretty much drunk all the time, cursing and yelling at anyone who approaches you. Your trash isn’t being taken out because I told my employee to not even come close to you and your madness. It’s not nice to have a drunk cursing you when you are working. Usually I feel bad for homeless people but you deserve the life you have because you attracted it to you. You totally need psychiatric help. The day hurricane Milton left 75% of the county without power, this insane person start to yell and curse me telling that it was my fault and I had to fix it right away. I know she was drunk, but doesn’t matter for me. A old woman like you should behave properly. Check out is at 11:00am (and for you sharp). If you are not out of my property by that time I will call the cops to drag you out.

Very relaxing out of the way and quiet

This place is a very quiet location. The owner of the property is extremely friendly. You can hear wild turkeys in the morning. You're far enough away from the city to get an excellent view of the sky.

Quiet and secluded with lots of wildlife

I stayed at Raphael's campground for a few days during spring turkey season. I was very impressed with how clean the grounds were and was surprised to see that they had installed 30-amp hookups for electricity and water. I was tenting so didn't take advantage of those, but they are there. The location is pretty secluded and very quiet, aside from the local wildlife that are nearby (turkey gobbles and sandhill cranes squawking), but that is what camping is all about! The other folks there were super nice and very helpful. I was very grateful for Raphael's flexibility on check out time so I could get an extra morning of hunting in. Overall, I'd highly recommend camping here and I'll be back next spring.

Relaxing

If your looking for a place where your free to set your tent wherever in the woods, this place is to go. It’s definitely a nice place to go for some solitude and relaxation in your tent.

Awesome Campsite

There were a lot of places to set up. Was able to get close to the water and set up in the wooded area. Great spot, and Rafael was super nice and accommodating! Would definitely camp here again.
