Fishing can be great, wildlife and bird watching too.
Fenced and gated for safety, this old historic nursery property has good vibes and plenty to offer. Until you see it - you really may not understand.
Parts of property are wide open, other areas are rugged and difficult to walk through including some wetland areas.
The nursery has plenty of trees, and some fields -the large pond is surrounded by cattails and marsh/wetlands and has fish (Bass, Tilapia, Sunfish, Catfish).
Several species of wildlife have been seen on the property.
We think the property is lovely, and definitely want you to enjoy your camping experience!

80km from Riverview · 1 site
A hidden gem in Brooksville—this rustic glamping hideaway nestled on a 5-acre family hobby farm combines simple clean comforts, outdoor charm, and nearby adventures for a one-of-a-kind stay. You can literally walk out the back gate of the property into the Withlacoochee State Forest. There are miles of scenic trails for hiking, biking (paved trails), and wildlife spotting. This forest is the perfect backdrop for adventure, exploration, or simply unplugging and soaking in that peaceful “Old Florida” vibe.
For adventure lovers, the Croom Motorcycle Area features extensive off-road trails for dirt bikes and ATVs, along with mountain biking paths for all skill levels.
If water is more your speed, take a short drive to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park where you can kayak crystal-clear waters, float down the river, or even catch the famous live mermaid show. A bit further out, Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park offers a chance to see manatees and other native Florida wildlife up close. Chassahowitzka Springs (‘The Chaz’) is also a popular local spot to go swimming, kayaking, fishing, or to go boating. You might even see some manatees.
For a slower pace, explore historic downtown Brooksville—filled with charming coffee shops, local restaurants, and a laid-back, small-town feel. It’s the perfect spot to grab a morning coffee, enjoy a casual lunch, or unwind with dinner after a day outdoors.
Step into your one-of-a-kind barn retreat, where comfort meets outdoor charm. Inside the open-air lounge, unwind in cozy seating or gather around the smokeless fire pit to enjoy complimentary s’mores under the stars. Your private guest space feels like a true home away from home, featuring a plush queen bed and a twin daybed (perfect for up to three guests), along with a small dining table for meals or a little remote work. Stay connected with complimentary Starlink WiFi, and enjoy a rustic-yet-comfortable bathroom complete with hot and cold showers and a fully functional, eco-friendly compost toilet.
Whether you're enjoying outdoor adventures, exploring local shops and great eats, unwinding by the fire, relaxing with a good book, or simply soaking in the sounds of nature—this is your perfect place to reset and recharge.

Very cute dog 😉 would highly recommend! Great location also. We went to Crystal river and it took 40 mins and I believe weeki wachee is even closer

Definitely served our needs. Dona was easy to communicate with and the place was quaint and in a peaceful farm setting. The main bed was comfortable. The pullout perhaps less so, so maybe bear that in mind if you’re trying to sleep 4. But otherwise, found the place charming and wish we had more time for a farm tour.

Was a lovely stay at the Olive Grove! So friendly and was such a comfortable stay. Loved the little Aframe cabin and the fire pit beside. Location was close to anything you need. Watching the chickens and ducks run around was fun of course. Make sure to check out the little store for olive oils, vinegars, etc!

The cabin tent was fun.
The gift bag with fresh eggs, olive oil and soap was a very nice extra.
I recommend arriving before sunset because finding our accommodations in the dark was very confusing. However I called the host and she came out and guided us all the way.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Olive Grove! Only about 10 min away from the Weeki Wachee Springs and the mermaid shows, 5 min away to stores and restaurants, yet - we felt in the country and in the nature. The A-frame experience is one of a kind - watching the fire from the bed was phenomenal! The host was very attentive, responsive and helpful. Free gift of eggs, oil and coffee was a lovely touch. Thank you so much.

Weekend Trip to The Olive Grove
This was such a nice place, and super clean. We were definitely over packed. Deirdre's place is fully equipped with just about everything you need. Just bring your food. If you don't want to cook, there are plenty of restaurants nearby and Walmart, etc. All within a short drive. It was very hot while we were there so we didn't get to open the side but the A-frame was cool and dry with the AC running. Appreciated the welcome pack and the clean towels. Instead of coming home with a bunch of dirty dishes I washed everything before we left which makes coming home much easier.
We want to go back when the weather gets cooler so we can open the hatch and enjoy a fire and stuff.

My 5 year old and I spent two nights in a canin and it was just so cozy and comfortable for us. The ducks and chickens were fun to feed and entertaining for my daughter. We enjoyed the pool; it was refreshing after a hot day out and about. The bathrooms and kitchen had all the amenities we needed, as did the cabin w a/c, a comfy bed, and even a tv (which we didn’t even use). We built a fire, made s’mores and enjoyed the beautiful olive orchard.

I can’t recommend Gulf Wind and Dona’s sanctuary enough! My son and I had planned a weekend camping outing originally scheduled at another location. We quickly realized the other location was not anywhere near what had been advertised and so I quickly contacted Dona to see if she had some last minute availability on her property. Dona was wonderfully responsive and super accommodating and so we headed over to hers as soon as possible.
Our experience at Gulf Wind was beyond what we could have expected! The cabin was perfect, it was outfitted with everything we needed, and Dona also went the extra mile to bring us a firepit so we could make dinner and s’mores over the fire.
Dona gave us a tour of the sanctuary and took the time to educate us on the animals and their efforts to keep them safe and healthy. My son was so thrilled to interact with these special animals and to get to know their personalities and preferences.
We will absolutely be back. Diego’s cabin was the perfect size for us. Next time we come (and there will be a next time!) we will try the larger Florida Breeze cabin with more of our family to change things up!
Thank you, Dona and family, for being so welcoming and accommodating. You seriously enriched my son’s experience and we appreciate what you’re doing for these amazing animals.

Wow!! This was our last stop on a Florida roadtrip and I’m so glad we finished it off with this place. The cabin was clean, bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. Most importantly though, we had a tour done with Dona and got to meet all the animals! One of the highlights of our whole trip.
