The hosts are nothing short of incredible. Not only is their communication excellent, but they also go out of their way to show care and kindness. The facility is unmatched--hot showers, restrooms, and hookups. And, the farm tour was incredible--our kids loved the goats, pigs, and horses (and gave way too much food to the wondering donkeys). We'll be back!

Very peaceful camping! I solo camp as a woman and felt completely safe here. Great wildlife- deer, woodpeckers, firefly and my favorite owls. And of course the horses grazing in the woods near my tent was amazing and the donkeys were friendly, definitely shy. Peach apples carrots oranges bananas- they loved them all!
Trails were nice and shaded. The firewood on campsite was great, I would definitely add it on again.
Bathrooms and showers were clean and nice. Rob and Mike are great. Got me settled, made sure I knew they were a call/ text away, and didn’t see them again.
I stayed at the Hobbit Hole, great hammock spot and close to bathroom but also tucked in and very private.
You will NEED extreme bug spray and I do recommend tucking pants into light colored socks. There were ticks, horseflies, and yellow flies in addition to normal Florida stinging and biting pests. Not a problem if you are dressed correctly.

This site was an absolute gem from start to finish. The owners were incredibly friendly and truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. Our kids had an unforgettable time—especially getting up close with the cows and enjoying a fun, personal tour of the farm. It’s the kind of place that leaves you already planning your return before you’ve even packed up.

Mike and Rob were excellent hosts! We didn't realize it would be so chilly at night, I brought no blankets. When Mike questioned my son about the evening, he was less than enthusiastic. He only had a towel for a blanket. Mike loaned us two sleeping bags!!
The baby goats were adorable. The young ones silly. Beware that one guy, you stop petting, he'll start tugging your shorts down!
Although, one word of warning, don't feed the free roaming donkeys at your site. And Stormy likes to redecorate.
The trails were nice, particularly one which was a shady oasis in late afternoon.
We had a great time! I highly recommend!

The horses visited the first morning and were so sweet. They have thought of everything to make your stay amazing from clean tent site to spotless bathroom and showers. Wow and we were also treated with seeing day old baby goats. If you get the chance to visit it’s a MUST.
