38mi from Clearwater · 6 sites · RVs · Lithia, FL

We are a small hobby farm in Lithia, FL, looking to provide boutique camp experiences for guests looking for a nature-based yet centrally located agro-tourism family environment. Our property is six acres, and the central feature is our natural spring-fed pond with gorgeous waterfront views. The camping designated area is a one-acre pasture across the pond from the farm house we live in. If you like privacy, you will be happy to know that we have very few designated RV and glamping sites. The property sits at the end of a private road in a quiet country-like setting with mature oak trees decorated with Spanish moss. The current inhabitants of our farm include our three mini-cows, Stormy, Lila, and Boots, two donkeys, Pancho, a standard, and Cindy Lou, a mini. Another two friendly faces you will see are Liza and Louise, two Kune-Kune sows. Other animals you will see everywhere are our chickens, ducks, and other wild birds. The chickens and ducks don't have names but are also filled with personality. Our farm is strategically located. We call it 'one-hour and ten-minutes to anything'. Here's why: We are an hour away from Disney World, Downtown Tampa, the downtown St. Petersburg and Clearwater beach. Most of Tampa Bay suburban areas are also under an hour away. We are also a little over an hour away from some of the most breathtaking springs in Florida. Alderman's Ford, a Hillsborough County conservation park with over seven miles of hiking trails, is within walking or biking distance. The park's most famous attraction is a 1.9-mile paved and one of the state's most popular canoe spots. The loop, which is hiker, dog-walker, and bicycle-friendly, links with a boardwalk and footbridges leading into shaded woods of gigantic cypress and oak trees. There is also a designated horse trail. About 10 minutes down the road, the Alafaia River State Park offers some of the most radical elevation changes in the state. This topography is uncommon for most of Florida, making the park a hot spot for mountain bikers, equestrians, and hikers. The hilly trails at Alafaia River total about 20 miles and run through forests, flatwoods, and lakes. Lithia Springs is also a 10 minute drive and is well-known for its natural spring which flows year-round, cool, and clean water. Great for swimming on a hot day. Also, all standard suburban amenities, including banks, franchised restaurants, fast food, grocery stores, nail and hair salons, coffee shops, urgent care, etc., are 10 minutes away.

9 nights at Owen's Family Farm

Very nice campsite with full hookups. The campsite is very much out in the country, secluded/private, down a dirt road etc. Our dogs could run free and play until exhausted. We need a place to stay during some home renovations, and this campsite fit the bill beyond expectations. It’s very close to all the modern suburban amenities we’re all used too, but neatly tucked away in the country for a truly great camping experience. Loved it and would do it again.

6 nights at Peace and Harmony with a Gulf View

Amazing property! This type of old costal Florida is becoming difficult to experience specifically in the area of the site. Wonderfully wildlife viewing, birds of all types especially sea/costal birds. Kayaking and fishing are world class as good as it gets anywhere along the gulf. The host is super nice and easy going. We enjoyed spending time and talking with him. You will not see many sites like this.

6 nights at Peace and Harmony with a Gulf View

We were honored to be Foster’s first guests. He was an interesting and charming host. The camping site is next to his house, which is on stilts and he allows guests to use the second floor, which has great views across the marshes. The property itself is very isolated and peaceful. There is a waterfront park to launch kayaks about a 5 minute walk. We really enjoyed our time here. The property itself is a work in progress so there is some work to be done, but you don’t see it when you are looking out over the marshes. There is a Walmart and other shops a few mins away. We would recommend and will be back soon

3 nights at Florida Farm School & Animal Rescue

This was the best experience we have ever had camping! We took our Grandkids and they NEVER complained about being bored! (That's a first!) The campsites were well positioned with plenty of privacy. It was directly in the open pasture and we were camping with the cows... something that may seem weird to some but was so much fun. All of the animals were gentle and never did I worry about the kids being around them. When we arrived Miss Sarah greeted us and explained the rules to the kids- Best thing ever because throughout our stay I could just remind the kids "What are Miss Sarah's rules?" And they would immediately stop any bad behaviors. Every morning theyt⁵ awoke and wanted to head immediately to the barn. The activities were amazing, the staff were A plus. We will return again and again! 10 out of 10! Thanks Sarah.

2 nights at Florida Farm School & Animal Rescue

We loved our few days with Sarah and her animals. You name a farm animal and she has it. Big pig, little pig, horses, donkeys, cows, bulls and a few newly born calf. They were always walking by our camper, even the ducks, chickens and hens. However, we completely fell in love with Zara. She was the sweetest dog who slept outside our rv each night keeping us safe.

Weekend Trip to Florida Farm School & Animal Rescue

We absolutely loved our stay! We are a family of five from Australia. Our three kids ages 5,9 and 12 had the most heart warming experience staying on Sarah’s property. They instantly felt included and at home. Sarah went above and beyond to include the kids as they wanted jobs to do to help out. They enjoyed collecting the chicken eggs, feeding the calves, playing with the baby goats. No one wanted to leave when our two nights were up. Highly recommend!
