Camp Declan — Lakefront Glamp

27mi from Asbury Lake · 1 site
Camp Declan is a rare find: a private, breezy, six-acre lakefront retreat that feels like stepping into classic “Old Florida,” where the air is clean, the nights are quiet, and nature is always part of the experience.
Set under a canopy of Live Oak trees draped with Spanish moss and stretching along nearly 600 feet of freshwater shoreline, this is a place where mornings start with birdsong, afternoons drift by on the dock, and evenings end around the fire pit under open skies. Fish, paddle, swim, grill, relax — or do nothing at all while napping in one of several hammocks. The lake and floating dock are always the centerpiece of life here.
The property includes three thoughtfully designed buildings:
Cabin – comfortable air-conditioned sleeping quarters with private bathroom
Bunkhouse – group-friendly lodging (six adult-sized bunkbed sets) with bathroom
Cabana – the social hub with outdoor bar, kitchen, commercial ice machine and hangout space
Together, Camp Declan comfortably hosts up to 18 overnight guests and is ideal for families, youth retreats, reunions, fishing buddies, retreat weekends, and anyone seeking a down-to-earth, unplugged getaway with real space to spread out.
Outdoors, guests enjoy:
• Large floating dock
• Fire pit and gathering areas
• Volleyball, badminton, frisbees and washer toss (think cornhole)
• Canoeing, kayaking and lake swimming
• Anchored swim raft
• Fully fenced, private grounds
Indoors and out, you’ll find:
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Outdoor kitchen and bar
• Hot indoor and outdoor showers
• Clean bathrooms in every building
This is not a resort — it’s a private fish-camp-style escape where comfort meets authenticity. If you’re looking for polished luxury, this may not be your place. If you’re looking for privacy, ample outdoor space, water access for your boat or jet ski, and a true Florida lake experience, Camp Declan delivers in a way few properties can.

The fishing is amazing in these parts, so if you are an angler, come and visit.
We have .75 miles of frontage on the Orange Creek. The creek flows into Lake Ocklawaha which just so happens to be one of the best bass fishing lakes in the USA. In fact, ten-pound bass are not uncommon from the Lake Ocklawaha River in the winter. Recently (2020), a 17.2-pound bass was caught there. The combined Ocklawaha and St. Johns drainage basin is possibly the most significant river-estuary waterway of Florida. This water system is of legendary reputation among anglers of largemouth bass who seek 10 pound plus trophy fish.
Conveniently located between Ocala and Gainesville in the heart of Orange Springs, Florida, Camp Seminole Spring is perfectly located for the traveler who wants to really connect with nature. It appears to be ‘off the beaten path’, yet it is close enough to civilization so that even the most seasoned camper can make a quick run to store should he or she need something not found in nature.
Camp Seminole Spring is mid-way (approx.. 22 miles) between Ocala and Gainesville, Florida, which are two thriving cities in this area of Florida. Ocala, the ‘horse capital of the world’ showcases a brand new multi-billion-dollar equestrian center which draws people from all over the world.
This scenic property has an artesian spring which pushes out 1.6 million gallons of water per day rated among the top three percent of water in the world with an 8.4 natural pH. This water fills the pond and then continues on to flow into Orange Creek.
Camp Seminole Springs was established in the 1940’s as a honeymoon resort and campground. The founders built a heart-shaped ‘pond-spring’ which is filled with the crystal-clear water pushed out from the spring where guests can lounge by the beach or gaze down into the bottom through the glass-like water or take a refreshing swim.
At the top of the hill overlooking the heart-shaped spring, one will find the rustic Great Lodge where guests can come and mingle with each other, enjoy a relaxing conversation and a drink on the veranda or just sit and watch the activity in and around the spring.

We could have stayed at a hotel in Gainesville, but nothing compares to sitting on the porch of Quatermoon under an almost-full moon, sipping wine and chatting with our wonderful hosts. We have been here several times and will be back.

Nothing but peace and serenity at this place. Great hosts, very welcoming, great communication and overall just a beautiful property. Plenty of campers to choose from, I stayed in the Beehive. Very quaint and charming, vintage vibes, and all the amenities you need. I highly recommend this place as a little getaway to recharge and breathe in the country air.

I had another amazing stay at the Serene Forested Blueberry Farm this weekend! As always, I felt right at home in the peaceful, forested surroundings. I especially loved that they provided ingredients for s’mores—such a thoughtful touch. The hosts are always incredibly friendly, and the whole experience is truly worth it. I can’t wait to come back!

1 night at Serene Forested Blueberry Farm
What a gorgeous oasis! The stay was absolutely perfect- I stayed in the Little LuLu and she was a gem! Perfect sitting area, comfy bed, full kitchen and a cute lil ' yard' with seating and a fire pit. Just steps away- an outdoor shower and the cutest chicken along with a very friendly cat. I'd give this stay a 10/10 and can't wait to come back.
I got to chat with the owners and learned more about the different trailers and left with an armful of fresh eggs.

Weekend Trip to Serene Forested Blueberry Farm
The land is perfect for country cottage vibes.
Collecting fresh eggs from the Hens every morning was a bonus. The cottage my husband and I rented was adorable, quaint, immaculate, had All kinds of appliances fully equipped and decorated kitchen necessities, toiletries, nick nacks, firewood and the s’mores kit was awesome! I especially enjoyed the birthday welcome note /card and tokens for our stay! Cassandra and Walt came by to greet us for our stay and we’re wonderful hosts. We plan on renting each unit until we make it around the property! What I enjoyed about our stay is it’s close to our home but far enough to feel like a hidden gem . We had a little glamping, camping and rustic tranquil vibes. The outdoor shower was so peaceful after going for a walk /run near the wood trails. We enjoyed every moment of our stay.

This my second time staying here and will definitely not be my last. My wife, two teenage children and two dogs loved every minute of our stay. The weather didn't cooperate on Sunday, cold and rainy, but the campers were clean and warm and we spent hours just playing card. The hospitality from our hosts was outstanding, they even delivered dry wood after the rain. We will all definitely come back.

My friend and I enjoyed our stay at the Beehive. While their other sites are nearby, folks were respectful and it still felt private. The outhouse and shower cabana were both well set up, and the shower was fantastic. The Beehive is very cute and the bed is comfortable. Cassandra and Walt's cat came an hung out with us a few times and he was sweet. Loved the firepit and thanks for the nice dry woodpile! Cute smores supplies setup. Remember to bring ice for the cooler if you want to store any perishable food!! And bring drinking water. There's a DG Market very nearby. If we come back to the area, I would stay here again.
