Sumter County Planning and Zoning Special Master approved a Minor Special Use Permit for a Primitive campground with one (1) tent site for Samuel David Garcia Matos. The property is located at 4763 NE 23rd Ave, Wildwood, FL 34785. The permit allows for primitive camping on one campsite and is specific to the landowner. Any development will require site and building permits. The permit expires in two years if a site development permit is not approved. Conditions include Type B Screening/buffering, tent site rentals limited to 5 consecutive days within any 60-day period, no occupation by recreation vehicles, and approved sewage disposal systems. Public comments included opposition citing concerns about traffic, safety, privacy, potential for homeless encampments, and the use of private easements for access. One neighbor expressed concerns about the use of their property for access and an incident involving a person watching teenage daughters. Another neighbor expressed concern about the sewer setup and potential for increased noise and nuisance activities. The applicant stated the use is intended to preserve rural character and provide outdoor recreation. The decision was approved by the Planning and Zoning Special Master on July 6, 2026.
