More Than a Campsite.
A Sanctuary.
After leaving a 9-to-5 job to be closer to family, Arcadio found his passion running a glampsite and animal rescue in beautiful Rainbow Springs, Florida. Every guest becomes part of the mission.
"We're dedicated to providing a sanctuary for rescued animals and offering guests a unique opportunity to connect with nature."
During your stay, you'll meet our furry friends — rescued farm animals and adorable companions who call Happy Campers Rescue Ranch home. Feed the goats, cuddle with the kittens, or explore the beautiful wooded surroundings.
A portion of every booking goes directly towards caring for our rescued animals and maintaining our sanctuary, allowing us to continue our important work. 🤲
