The farm you’re camping on is one of the last family farms remaining in Columbia County and is named Glenn Farm after DV Glenn who married Hettie Lou Niblack in the 1930’s. Over the last 150 years it has been farmed by some of the county’s oldest families such as the Niblack and Ellis families. When DV Glenn came to Florida from his farm in Cairo, GA he took over the portion of the Niblack farm that was inherited by his wife Hettie Lou. At that time he was running native Florida cattle on over 6000 acres. Unfortunately, In 1951 he was killed in a hunting accident leaving his wife with the farm and 4 children (ages 4-11). In order to survive, Hettie Lou Niblack Glenn was forced to sell 5000 acres at $25 an acre. Holding a bachelors degree from Florida State College for Women, she was able to secure a job at the University of Florida as a secretary and with the money from the land sale she was able to raise her four children. Of the original farm, 600 acres remain intact and the Glenn family is trying to keep the farm as an agricultural operation. Your campsite is 1 of three spots (Arrowhead Sink, Dunagan’s Meadow or Magnolia Sink). Dunagan’s meadow is a pasture behind the old farmhouse (built in 1844), Magnolia sink is also on the main farm while Arrowhead Sink is on the edge of a hayfield about a mile down a dirt road. Glenn Farm is a place to come relax and experience a world that is rapidly disappearing. It is not a commercial campground.

Great time!
My husband had a great time at Arrowhead. The owner was kind and friendly. The location was perfect for a quick camping getaway. Will return!

Magnolia sink
Excellent time there with my 10 yr
I stayed here from Sunday - Friday in March 2024. My 10 yr old niece stayed at the Magnolia site. No electricity or water. Bring bug repellent for ticks, etc. It's Florida afterall. The family farm property was beautiful and it was great to have a large meadow and attached wooded area all to ourselves, minus visiting sheep and lambs! We loved it. Our host, Tom, was fantastic and went above and beyond to make sure we had anything we needed, the means to get it, or directions on where to go for great springs etc. He was so hospitable. And we enjoyed visiting with the Livestock, after ensuring we were respectful of their care and needs, of course.

I really enjoyed my time at the spring cave, it was so beautiful and I felt so much peace out there. Tom and his mother are very kind and I respect how much they care for their land and animals.

Dunagan’s Meadow
We had a wonderful time tent camping at Dunagan’s Meadow! Tom was very helpful and friendly in showing us around and introducing us to the animals. My 8- and 5-year-old kids had a wonderful time exploring the meadow. We had beautiful sunrises and sunsets both nights we were there and went on some day trips out to nearby springs. Just a great experience all around.

This place is nothing short of magical. Between the cave and the animals, not to mention the property itself being right along a Florida Ley line. I can’t remember the last time I camped somewhere so lovely. Our host Tom was just the nicest kind of person you will ever meet and was kind enough to show us around pretty much that entire property (which is massive lol). Was informative and helpful and a joy to be around. I would recommend this place 1000x over to anyone. Thank you for everything!
