This property is called relic ranch because we have actually found a ton of old relics. the campground is under an ancient canopy of oaks. so youll always have shade. the center of the property is unique to say the least but the campground is nature at its finest. there is a 2.6 mile nature trail across from the campground to explore. also there is a boat ramp for fishing about 1/8 mile away. you are welcome to roam over most of the 80 acres. We have goats, cows and chickens as well. All super friendly.Welcome Y'all!!  Here at North Shore Relic Ranch,  we are minutes from wekiva springs and rock springs. Plus this is home to our 11 cool cows 5 adult goats 4 baby's and about 50 crazy chickens, which you can interact with. A little bit of something for everyone.   We have some interesting vehicles on the property to check out. There are also miles of marked nature trails next to the camp sites. Lake Apopka and canals to kayak on, are only 800 feet away, and there is a 15 mile free nature drive just minutes away. Or just relax and camp/explore! (Tents available for rent, we also have 2 horse stalls for rent, so you can bring your horse to ride the trails)There are different areas around the property where you can camp. A very laid back, chill vibe. Campsite areas are quite vast, so privacy should be of no concern! Fishing is allowed on our property and next door there are state owned hiking trails and canals to fish & kayak on. Plus a boat ramp to launch with restrooms. Campers are asked not to enter/loiter around the 2 private residences, please respect privacy. (but have no concern, there is absolutely plenty of room to wander the camp area and explore!!) There is lots of wildlife so bring the camera, and not only wildlife, our farm animals are huge hams when it comes to pictures (no pun intended, lol) Fire wood/Water/ Soft drinks/ Snacks available to purchase.

Had a great time tent camping. Avaliable bathrooms were clean, roads and paths were well maintained. Decent privacy on our campsite (ivy circle) will stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at North Shore Relic Ranch. Unique spot. Excellent communication. Easy to find. Plenty of room for our truck and 5th wheel. We would definitely stay again!

Great little spot!
Had a great weekend camping here! Fire pit was awesome and loved the owls! Super helpful hosts! Rented a kayak but didn't end up being able to use it and was given a refund, very kind!

Unique old growth forest sites
We stayed on the forested side which is away from all the domestic animals and junk yard mentioned in other reviews. We really enjoyed listening to all the wildlife. The sites each had a name and some cute decorations, and were clean , shaded, and very private. The location was great for biking and hiking. James was friendly. Our picnic table was standard size, so perfect for our fitted tablecloth, but some of the sites have various kinds of picnic tables. Each site has some kind of campfire cooking stand. If you want to buy wood for your campfire, be sure to order it as early as possible. We will stay here again if we are in the area. Thank you for sharing your property.

The campsite we stayed in was stunning. Tons of old growth trees canopied over our site, nice little cooktop for firepit cooking and the port-o-potties were super clean! We have a massive 12 person tent and had plenty of space leftover to hang out and park 2 cars. Lots were private and owls were singing songs through the night. Very nice stay!
