RV Parking

Bonjon Shepherd Ranch currently offers dry camping only.  We are waiting for ten 30 amp electric sites to be installed by early spring.  There are plans for a bathroom and shower facility by the end of the summer, 2004 and a dump station on site to follow.   We plan to have room for a combined RV, Tent or Van camping limit of 20 – 25.  This website will be updated as changes are made.

The current price for Dry Camping with an RV or Van is $10 per night.  It is $5 for tent camping.  There is no water available on site so we ask that you come with filled tanks.  Directions to Flying J with free dumpsite, water & propane on Both I-75 & I-4 are linked below.

There is free Dry Camping available at the Super Wal-Mart, 1.3 miles from Bonjon on the corner of Henderson Rd. & Gunn Hwy.  There are also two nearby RV Campgrounds with full hookups that allow smaller dogs.  Bay Bayou Traveler, Inc., 12622 Memorial Hwy, Tampa, 813-855-1000 and Travel Towne RV Resort, 29850 US Hwy 19 North, Clearwater, 727-784-2500.  In addition there are KOA Campgrounds near the beaches.    Check http://www.koa.com/where/fl/ for Clearwater & St. Petersburg locations.
