Learn more about this land:
Spend a night, the weekend, or stay even longer under our spectacular centuries old live oak canopy in a quiet countryside neighborhood. The weatherman might say it’s 95° out but under these trees you’d never know. 3 acres of cleared flat live oak forest will invite you to kick back, relax, and let your cares drift away. Plenty of room to drive in, around, then pick your favorite vantage point. Florida has so much to offer so why not camp where your “what to do” options are endless.
Our property is located in Morriston, just off 41 in a quiet residential neighborhood with wide, well paved and maintained roads. Acreage is not fully fenced so drive up into the yard as you see fit while respecting these priceless old oaks. At this time we have potable water via a well system on site at 3 locations throughout the property but no electric or sewer is available yet. If you are planning to run a generator it must be turned off during quiet hours (11pm-7am) unless it is quiet enough not to disturb the neighbors. Dump stations can be found at the multiple truck stops off i75.

Turkey Hollow is a 10-acre farm with pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats, and a sheep who thinks she’s a dog. (All roam the property except the pigs.) All of our critters are rescues and orphans whose original owners could no longer care for them. We’ve worked hard to give them a happy place to live and play. Come join us on a “critter crawl,” where we take the goats, dogs, and sheep for a walk on the trails and feed them their favorite treats.
Explore numerous trails winding through our pines and oak trees—perfect for a hayride or a relaxing walk. Gather around the fire pit, with on-site wood available for guests. Play a round of horseshoes or checkers, or simply lounge in one of our hammocks. Kids will love the play zone, complete with a small zip line, tree fort, slide, log cabin, and teepee.
Turkey Hollow is also a geographical fun zone: Rainbow Springs State Park is just 15 minutes south of the farm. Two popular cave-diving spots and the World Equestrian Center are both about 12 miles away in Williston, Florida. If you’re craving the coast, Cedar Key and its beaches are only 45 minutes west.
Come relax and recharge—arrive as guests and leave as friends.

Spend a night, the weekend, or stay even longer under our spectacular centuries old live oak canopy in a quiet countryside neighborhood. The weatherman might say it’s 95° out but under these trees you’d never know. 3 acres of cleared flat live oak forest will invite you to kick back, relax, and let your cares drift away. Plenty of room to drive in, around, then pick your favorite vantage point. Florida has so much to offer so why not camp where your “what to do” options are endless.
Our property is located in Morriston, just off 41 in a quiet residential neighborhood with wide, well paved and maintained roads. Acreage is not fully fenced so drive up into the yard as you see fit while respecting these priceless old oaks. At this time we have potable water via a well system on site at 3 locations throughout the property but no electric or sewer is available yet. If you are planning to run a generator it must be turned off during quiet hours (11pm-7am) unless it is quiet enough not to disturb the neighbors. Dump stations can be found at the multiple truck stops off i75.

Turkey Hollow is a 10-acre farm with pigs, chickens, turkeys, goats, and a sheep who thinks she’s a dog. (All roam the property except the pigs.) All of our critters are rescues and orphans whose original owners could no longer care for them. We’ve worked hard to give them a happy place to live and play. Come join us on a “critter crawl,” where we take the goats, dogs, and sheep for a walk on the trails and feed them their favorite treats.
Explore numerous trails winding through our pines and oak trees—perfect for a hayride or a relaxing walk. Gather around the fire pit, with on-site wood available for guests. Play a round of horseshoes or checkers, or simply lounge in one of our hammocks. Kids will love the play zone, complete with a small zip line, tree fort, slide, log cabin, and teepee.
Turkey Hollow is also a geographical fun zone: Rainbow Springs State Park is just 15 minutes south of the farm. Two popular cave-diving spots and the World Equestrian Center are both about 12 miles away in Williston, Florida. If you’re craving the coast, Cedar Key and its beaches are only 45 minutes west.
Come relax and recharge—arrive as guests and leave as friends.

Great great host very accommodating. I really enjoyed my stay there. He and his family made me feel like part of their family and their property. Anytime I needed anything. He was always there to help out and make helpful suggestions. We really enjoyed feeding his animals and thanked him for saving them. He runs a rescue for animals that are unwanted. He allowed us to feed his animals.
I’d also like to mention his wife Carla, who is also awesome and if you or your significant other is in need of a great manicure or pedicure, she was able to do that for us during our stay we thoroughly enjoyed that part of our stay. Getting your feet pampered is always a bonus during camping.
Thank you again Arcadio and Carla for your friendship and allowing us to stay on your property with our RV, we had a great time and we will definitely come back

Turkey Hollow Farm was an absolute gem of a find. Corey and Peggy are wonderful hosts — warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive to making sure their guests feel right at home. You can tell they truly care about the experience they're providing.
The highlight of our stay was hiking through the farm trails by moonlight — a truly magical experience that we won't soon forget. The property is beautiful, and having that kind of peaceful, natural setting to explore made the trip feel special.
For those looking to explore the area, Turkey Hollow Farm is perfectly situated near Rainbow River State Park, which is an incredible destination in its own right. The location is close enough that you can easily arrive at the park right at opening time-- a great way to beat the crowds and make the most of your day.
We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend Turkey Hollow Farm to anyone

Thank you to Lynn and David for making us feel welcome on the property. We spent 3 nights camped at Artists Nature Retreat. The property was quiet from road noise but alive with sounds of birds, chickens and roosters. The campsites were spaced apart for privacy. Lynn and David greeted us on arrival and showed us the campsite, bathroom , walking paths, etc. They borrowed us a longer extension cord to reach our camper. Lynn and David were both very kind and shared stories about life in the circus with us. We're looking forward to another visit in the future.

We didn’t know what to think before we arrived as we were just looking for a place to test out the new RV and Crossroads was very biker friendly. Turns out it was a perfect weekend. There just happened to be jack Russel Terrier races going on so there were dogs everywhere but the wife and I love dogs so it just added to the adventure. The campground was perfectly fine. Everything worked great. The only downside was we wanted full hookups and to get sewer we had to take a location close to annuals, but nobody messed with us or was loud. We walked the grounds and it was beautiful land. The waterfalls were all working and flowing as they should. We don’t drink much but the bar looked excellent. We did have a cheesecake on a stick and it was amazing. All in all it was excellent for the price. The owner was fantastic and very helpful even offering to let us use things if we forgot something.
