Other things to note
The spirit of Camp Declan is to disconnect from the pressures of modern life and re-connect with self, friends, family, fresh air and authentic Florida nature. Sit and marvel at the wildlife which teems in this private forest, take a run on your jet ski or it's perfectly okay to just steal a nap in the hammocks! This is an unpretentious deep South lodging option with great potential for group fun. It is not a commercial, brand-name hotel but a "lake house" so it has plenty of imperfections, which we call "character". Those expecting spotless floors, a pampered experience or anything fancy or impressive may find other options more suitable. Thank you.

My work: Real estate
I spend too much time: Enjoying good coffee
...and my friends call me Deck. I was born and raised in Florida and have traveled in more than 90 cities in 18 countries. There is little I enjoy more than the groundedness I feel when at Camp. Consequently, I'm trying to see if Airbnb will help me share "Camp joy" with other down-to-earth nature lovers.
