Jessica is extremely nice and goes above and beyond to make sure that you’re happy and doing well! They do their thing around their place but never intrude unless asked a question. It is obviously a working farm so don’t take offense to them doing things fairly close to you. Overall easy access, strong power supply and water with sewer as well which was nice if needed. We are fully self contained and didn’t need. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Grazing Oaks Ranch RV and Horse Stables

We had an amazing time staying at Grazing Oaks, we didn’t want to leave! We were a party of 3 adults, two kids under 10, and two dogs traveling in a 30ft trailer. The RV sites are well spread apart, making the experience more exclusive to the travelers. We stayed right across from the horse stables, and got to meet the amazing staff that tends to the horses, as well as learn about them. We were in the area to scuba dive at Blue Grotto and Devils Den (just minutes away) and will absolutely be reservation again for our future dives. Although both dive locations have full RV hook ups, the laid back feel and exclusivity offered at Grazing Oaks Ranch will keep us as repeat customers.

We had a great trip to this Hipcamp! There were lots of animals there, you could make a new animal friend! My girls loved petting the horses and feeding the cows and ruby treats. We even learned a lot from the trainer on the property. Also, there’s a zip line and a swing! The trees were breathtaking and the property was beautiful! Oh and even some fruit trees on the property. It’s always a pleasure being in the middle of nowhere. Frank was helpful when we arrived and we even met others who were staying to enjoy s’mores with. The weather was magnificent too. Would def return!

We had a great time. Frank was great at making sure we got settled after dark. He let our kids feed the animals and even let my son have some fresh eggs. The kids had a blast with the zip line.

Our first stay with HipCamp and it was great! Jessica was very friendly and easy to work with. She met us when we arrived and helped us get to the spot (it was after dark when we arrived). Jessica also provided us with recommendations of several local restaurants and things to do. The campsite was exactly as described. So quiet and very peaceful! We enjoyed just relaxing and watching the cows and donkeys. Also met a very friendly young cat. Within driving distance to several springs. Also only about a 25 minute drive into Gainesville. We really enjoyed our stay!

The site was great, you're at the end of a canal and hookups are right there. Mike has kayaks for you to use. There's plenty of Pub and Grills near by. You need to visit Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park just a short drive away.

Jessica was super kind and accommodating! We came in last minute and she was very welcoming. Nice and quiet, her son helped us get a football that went over into their land where their animals were. They had beautiful donkeys and cows that the kids loved to see. We had a nice quiet dirt road to walk the dogs. Super thankful.

Grazing Oaks was a great fit for my needs, as I prepped my local home for sale. Agustin and his Farm Manager, Frank, were wonderful hosts, offering conversation and help, as needed, but mostly allowing me privacy, which I relished. I enjoyed feeding my scraps to the resident pig, exploring the back fields and petting the many horses in the paddocks. Agustin was attentive and I appreciated our communication. My dogs loved it and felt right at home. A few things to note: it is near the local airport so between none to 3 times a day you may hear a plane or helicopter pass by. I was never woken at night, so this was not a problem for me. When Agustin and family are in town there can be late nights and shooting/gun range, so if you have dogs afraid of that, be prepared, or if you need your sleep, plan ahead with some sleep aids. All in all I definitely recommend!

Great spot. Welcoming hosts. This has been a great stay for me. To note: these grounds share multiple RV hookups as well as a main home listed as a short term rental; the only challenge I experienced was fire pit smoke overtaking my encampment from a guest's short-term stay at the main house. Other than that, you can mostly expect peaceful, farm tranquility.
