This is my family's property. We acquired it when I was in fourth grade and then spent all the way until high school coming up on weekends and for a month every summer until we had something to call our own. We planted over 750 pine trees, added an irrigation system, built a chicken coop, sheds and out buildings, and carved our mark into old Florida grass and scrubland. Fast forward two decades with my father's failing health and ultimate death, the property was left to fend for itself. About ten years ago, my four brothers started tending the land again and it started seeing it's former self. In spring of this year with the coronavirus shuttting down this country, I moved back home with my dogs. Now begins my family property's new era. Come enjoy! Learn more about this land: You'll set up camp in a maintained field that is surrounded by old growth Oak forest. There's lots of birds, butterflies, mushrooms, Gopher tortoises, different species of pine and oak trees, blackberries, and native plants. If you're lucky, you'll spot our elusive deer and rabbits.

Great spot
The host was very nice and helpful. The area was maintained and clean with wood for the fire. Got to hang out with the hosts dog which made my dog very happy to have a friend. 🥰

Wonderful
Wonderful hosts! Clear directions to a safe, quiet location great for stargazing. Very clean bathroom including some extra toothbrushes and supplies. We appreciated the firewood and the cool fire stuff they brought over to us! Definitely adding this location to our favorites. Henry is a sweet laid back pup and got along with ours, it was nice meeting them all :)

Awesome spot near gorgeous springs
I loved camping on Joshua's land! He has almost 40 acres and is flexible about camping locations. He's created a cute community and has 2 adorable (but potentially vicious) guard dogs that made me feel safe there. It's rural Florida, very quiet, and very nearby the Suwannee River. I only intended to stay a day, but ended up staying 3 days because Joshua and his friends let me in on the secret of the springs in this area! There are at least 25 springs just within 10 miles of Luraville, which has a gas station with an old mural of the springs on the wall. There are more springs than that further along the Suwannee and Santa Fe Rivers and this was a great basecamp to explore them from! It was so fun visiting the lesser known springs - no one was there most of the time - and they are very beautiful. If you are a cave diver, the biggest cave diving system in Florida is under the ground here. The best thing about this area is that people haven't yet found it. Even though it was spring break, I encountered just a couple spring breakers at one of the bigger springs. Joshua was a great host. He was available to answer questions and was very knowledgeable about the area, having grown up here, and very hospitable. This is my new favorite camping spot for Northern FL springs, and when I just want to get away from the crowds. Thank you so much, Joshua and crew!
