The Gulf around this area is gorgeous! Excellent place to go scalloping- though you'll want to get in right away when season starts, otherwise the grasses are pretty picked through.

Weekend Trip to "Sweet Tupelo" on the "Big River"!

Absolutely stunning place to stay!!! Sites are huge!! Right on the river Clean, everything you could need Dump station was easy to get in and out and clean

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Mountain

Magnolia Mountain is an extraordinary gem—an urban forest escape tucked just minutes from downtown Tallahassee, yet it feels worlds away. The site is beautifully maintained, with a spacious tent pad, fire ring, picnic table, and plenty of hammock-ready trees. The hot water shower and clean port-a-potty were welcome comforts, and the shared sink area made camp life easy. Despite being close to FSU and the Capitol, the site felt incredibly private and peaceful. The host, Danny, was friendly and responsive. Whether you're a local looking for a quick nature getaway or passing through the city, Magnolia Mountain offers a serene, well-equipped camping experience. We can't wait to return!

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Educational Ctr

We had a wonderful time! Mr. Bill offered us several spots to pitch our tent and we chose right next to the creek so we could hear the water through the night. And it was fabulous. We heard Chuck-Wills-Widows singing along with the creek cooing while we relaxed by the fire. It was a short walk to the bathroom but it was worth it. Mr. Bill was friendly but respectful of our time and space. He offered us a tour and coffee and we were happy to hang out and learn from him. His property is eclectic but for conservationists like us it is a delight! We will visit again for sure. I would recommend bringing extra lights to hang on the trees, we had a few and it was super helpful finding our way in the dark.

Weekend Trip to It's Creek Time - Howard Creek

Great spot! I unfortunately couldn’t arrive until almost midnight but I was able to get in and set up without any issues. The fenced in space was perfect for my dog to roam around. I loved the picnic area with lots of room to make and prepare food. Using the outdoor shower in the morning sun was lovely. If I’m in the area I will absolutely book this spot again!

3 nights at "Sweet Tupelo" on the "Big River"!

It was quiet and peaceful. Plenty of shade trees. The grounds were well kept and driving in and out was easy. This is a perfect camp stop. Next time I’m bringing my boat. We Loved the grill and fire pit. The host was easy to get in touch with for questions. We’ll be back.

1 night at Magnolia Mountain

Danny's HipCamp site is top notch. Our group greatly enjoyed our bonfire in the woods. Hope to visit again soon!

Weekend Trip to "Sweet Tupelo" on the "Big River"!

Beautiful big spacious sites. Very private! Would stay here again :)

3 nights at "Sweet Tupelo" on the "Big River"!

I have camped here before . The sites are very large and set on a bluff overlooking a nice river. Water/electricity hook ups. Very wide pull thru View is awesome and serene, quiet. Everything you need. Glenn is a great host. If you’re looking for a peaceful and relaxing get away, this is it.

4 nights at "Sweet Tupelo" on the "Big River"!

Camping on Glenns land was awesome. Beautiful view and nice and quit. If your in the area come see for yourself .

1 night at Magnolia Mountain

Heavily wooded area right in the middle of Tallahassee. Danny came by to introduce himself to give me the lay of the land. I stayed in my truck bed tent under a canopy of trees. It has a fire, picnic table and shower. I travel for work and stay in a lot of hotels and this was chance to stay outdoors. The birds and squirrel sounds were so entertaining. Cool spot. Will stay here again.

7 nights at The Outside Inn

We love tent camping on Williams property, Andrew was so very helpful and always willing to give advice and directions of things to do in the area. We love the bathroom facilities as well as the location very quiet, beautiful for stargazing. We had a great time. Actually we had an excellent time Would recommend.

2 nights at Sugar White Sand - St. Joe Beach

Well maintained. Tucked behind a nice home with a dedicated spot for rv, campervan, etc.

5 nights at Magnolia Mountain

This is a really great spot. I stayed here for over a week and I was very comfortable. You’re surrounded by trees, tucked away in a secluded little forest, but super close to everything in Tally. The shower is great, and the bathroom is close and convenient. Also, the host Danny is a really nice guy. I would definitely stay again.

1 night at Goat House Farm

We loved staying here! The goats are amazing! Melissa is so sweet!

Weekend Trip to Sugar White Sand - St. Joe Beach

Great spot away from the hustle bustle but yet close enough to the beach. Wayne was very accommodating and welcoming. Pet friendly. Campsite offers a fire pit, a picnic table, and an outdoor shower. If there was anything negative to say, it would be that I didn’t really like that. The RV pad is sand. Wayne has pieces of plywood out to step on and also a rug where your door opens, but it still tracks in pretty badly. Other than that, everything was perfect. we will definitely return if we are in the area.

Weekend Trip to Goat House Farm

We loved tent camping with the goats! We camped in the goat enclosure, and had a lot of fun keeping our stuff goat-proofed. We highly recommend ear plugs, as the roosters seem to think Dawn was every few minutes. But it was worth it! We really appreciated the community fridge that we could store some stuff in, and the community supplies (pots, pans, etc) in case you forgot something. The hostess was awesome. I even got to help with a baby goat delivery! Tell Fireball “hi” from me!

Weekend Trip to Goat House Farm

Had such a wonderful time. Host was great and very helpful! Would highly recommend! Fishing within walking distance!

Weekend Trip to Goat House Farm

This cozy, quiet cabin was the perfect retreat during our 3-day soccer tournament stay. It had everything we needed—comfy beds, a warm shower, and a peaceful setting that made it easy to relax at night. One of the best parts was getting to spend time with the goats—such sweet animals! We even got to see a newborn baby with her mom, which was such a special experience. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend this unique and charming spot!

When you venture back into civilization, make sure you pick up a jar of Tupelo honey. You won’t be disappointed! . "Sweet Tupelo" is located roughly halfway between Apalachicola and Chattahoochee, at the river's mile marker 60.

The Outside Inn

9 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents80 acres · Quincy, FL

Planted pine, orchard, untouched wetlands, walking trails, planted fields for wildlife viewing. Quiet and peaceful escape. Close to several state parks, including Torreya, Three rivers, Seminole, Florida Caverns, and Lake Talaquin forest. At this time I can host 1 RV or camper with full hook ups, 3 RV sites with power, water and 1 boondock (no power/water) site but large enough for an off-grid/self-sustainable RV. I'm always happy to show folks around and share the story. Please note: During the rainy season the grass may get a bit long at times. You can also expect to experience a wide variety of agricultural activities, outside of quiet hours of course. Born out of a dream that started 10 years ago when I acquired 40 acres of forgotten and unmanaged rural woods. Having dug right in with the help of the Florida Forestry Service, FWC, IFAS, NRCS and a very knowledgeable private forester; we developed a conservation management plan to restore it to its native state. The neighboring land became available and happily added another 40, I've learned so much on this amazing journey. 25K pines and a great deal of sweat equity later, it is time to share and encourage others to join in on the conservation efforts and make sure it's around for future generations.

Goat House Farm

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents4 acres · Tallahassee, FL

Goat House Farm is a 501(c)3 owned micro-farm in a rural area of Tallahassee on the beautiful Lake Talquin. The farm has its humble beginnings in the summer of 2015 with four acres, four goats, and four chickens. Founded on the love of animals and a passion for sustainability, we remain committed to compassionate practices and the most natural care of our land and animals as possible. As stewards of the land and herd, we believe we have a responsibility to share nature's blessings. We offer several agritourism opportunities on the farm, from farmstays to day visits. Our primary program is to serve area youth with agricultural education and the opportunities to work with our goats. All proceeds from bookings go toward our programming. It is our goal to create a space where our visitors can have fun and learn about the animals who share that space. We also strive to serve as a valuable resource for first time goat owners. To support that endeavor, we sell chicken eggs, specialty cottage goods, honey, and natural goat milk and honey products. We also sell raw goat milk (for pet consumption only, as per Florida law - Master Feed License #ZOO406).

Magnolia Mountain

4 sites · Tents4 acres · Tallahassee, FL

Private campsite in the middle of the city! My family and I were lucky enough to find a four acre urban forest less than two miles from FSU, the Florida Capitol and downtown Tallahassee. And just a mile from midtown! We are welcoming tent campers to come experience camping in an urban forest. The camping area has a hot water shower and sink, and the main site (#76), is fully outfitted with fire ring, tent pad, fresh water, a picnic table and plenty of hammock trees! The camp area has space for up to 6 tent campers and 2 cars. All sites share the shower and sink areas and a port-o-potty that is professionally cleaned weekly. Sprinter style vans (UPDATE) - We successfully had a Sprinter Van on the site and have now started accepting booking for that style van. Due to limitations on space and clearance, we can only allow vans with a max of around 10 1/2' tall and 23' long. This is equivalent to a Sprinter 170. We can not fit RVs or extended wide bodies conversions. Pets: Pets on leashes are allowed on the property. Guests with aggressive animals will be asked to leave.
