House Rules : Smoking Allowed on Sun Deck ONLY!! or of course outside, NO INSIDE SMOKING!!!! No RV's to be used for extra guests. Personal RV's may park on the Camp 1 property, No Fire Works of any kind due to local laws. No outdoor fires permitted. Smoking permitted in screened in porches, sundeck or outside. No debris from cleaning of scallops or fish are to be thrown back into the canal. You must wrap your carcasses and dispose of them in the trash. Small amounts are OK but large amounts cause problems. Thank you in advance! "Please" ALL PETS LEFT HOME ALONE AT CAMP 1 MUST BE IN A KENNEL! Camp1 has 2 kennels available for you to use or bring your own. Place the kennel inside before leaving, so your fur babies can stay cool. We also have food and water bowls for the fur babies. Backyard is fenced in for them to roam but always walk the fence line first to make sure that any critters haven't broke fence. As for your fur babies, we only ask you to crate your pet if you leave it unattended for any length of time or if your fur babies get a little too excited in a new place while left alone. We do not expect you to cage or leave your babies outside for your stay. This is a standard request for most pets. I know I would crate my 2 big boys when I leave them alone at a Vacation Rental. My babies are very curious by nature, but every pet owner knows their fur babies personality and how much mischief they can create when left alone in unfamiliar surroundings.

A great place to stay
My fiancé, two pups, and I stayed here for a couple of days. We had a great time and the property was clean and even had a fenced in backyard that my dogs loved. Neil was so nice and introduced us to his son’s food truck that was out of this world and just a short walk away from the home. We would definitely stay here again!

Exactly what we needed
This is a simple, clean and perfectly located rental. It has everything you need to be able to put all your worries away and just relax. It is a manufactured home with some age on it but if you aren't worried about newness but value clean and safe this is for you. Neil was very nice and helpful. The deck and screened porch was heaven. Sitting in the sun with Florida nature, right there! The mudic from next door wasn’t too bad. I wasn't expecting it on Wednesdays but we just went with the flow. The bar is a local spot with nice people and good music. Don't miss the Smash burgers at the corner! Simple, not fancy just comfortable and clean so you can relax. Perfect.

Just returned home from a 7 night stay at Camp 1. Trailer was as advertised - very clean, rustic setting. Comfortable, the deck was awesome. Everything you need for your stay is there. The owner was super friendly and available. Would stay again. Reasonable price wise.

Little piece of Heaven
Most relaxing and stress free vacation I ever had. As the listing states it is a camp. Nothing fancy but very clean and comfortable. Sitting on the back deck drinking my coffee was like my little piece of heaven. Neil was the GREATEST host!! I go to Fl. at least 2x a year and have stayed numerous places BUT now I have found my home away from home! Definitely recommend Neil's camp for a great get away.

Cute place in great location
Overall, this place was a great place to stay. Everything worked although outdated. The only thing I would recommend is a larger hot water tank. My now husband and I stayed there with his two teenage daughters and the hot water ran out after a short shower. All of us trying to get ready for the wedding there just wasn't possible. Otherwise, it was a nice place and we would stay again

Very Comfortable
Older, very well maintained trailer. The backyard to canal is very nice. They keep it very clean. It is a place to come, kick off your shoes and relax.. until the music starts from bar next door. The music is good with very good bands. We even went out on the deck for some of it. It is loud. Thankfully, it ends around 10:00 pm, then peace and quiet. Very friendly people that own it. Very helpful. Great value. Enjoyed our stay there even though we were in town for a family member's memorial service. This is our second time to stay here and we will stay here again.

Good stay with a few wonderings
The unit was older, but extremely clean and comfortable. Proximity to local boat ramps was excellent. All communication with the owner about accessibility of the unit due to the recent storm was very pleasant. Unfortunately, we found the property's dock to be inaccessible by boat. That may have been due to the recent storm, we are not sure. Locals did indicate that the canal the dock was on was narrow and shallow with trees blocking it in places. We also did not understand the locked and inaccessible doors that we found within the unit upon our arrival, or that the outdoor electrical outlets seemed to be without power for charging our boat batteries. Lastly, we were left curious by the vehicle that quietly arrived late each evening of our stay and remained in the unit’s parking area overnight. Aside from these things that left us wondering, our overall stay was good.
