We offer youth day camps on various dates, pony rides and a tour of our farm animals for an additional fee. Reservations required in advance due to the other activities we have going on. In 2007, we had no idea where this adventure was going to take us. Our small urban farm was sharing our miniature animals with assisted living facilities and Neulife, where we have 3 miniature horses that live on their property. Little by little we have evolved into more of a need to share with the community and help others with the relaxing qualities our farm and animals have to offer, we want to be able to share and better educate with hands on experiences, teach kindness, patience, confidence and help others to be the best they can be. Thank you for your time and if you visit, share a review! Reviews are the best way for us to better ourselves and your experience. Have a great stay!

We opened to the public on Labor Day 2014. Most people come to stay either in our rental cottage or in their horse trailers/RVs with their horses to ride the awesome trails in the 20,000+ acre adjacent Croom Forest. However, because our ranch is so peaceful, many stay here without horses just to enjoy the peace and quiet. There are many opportunities to recreate in the area, including outstanding mountain and road biking, OHVing, hiking, golfing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many full-time and working RVers stay for extended periods. Note that our camping area is small and intimate, so you will be close to other campers. We have 5 30-amp hookups, and 2 50-amp hookups; if you need 50-amp service, please request it. Note that a minimum of a 2-night stay will typically be required on weekends, especially during our busy season. WiFi is available, but we call it "Country WiFi" since it sometimes can be slow and may or may not be accessible from where you are parked; also, Verizon cell service in our area is terrible. If internet access is important to you, we suggest having your own hotspot or internet service (many working RVers have Starlink). Note that GPS can be very mean in our rural area; make sure your turn off Highway 50 is onto paved High Corner Road, which is 2 miles west of I-75 (if GPS tries to turn you down unpaved, dead-end roads, DO NOT LISTEN..you will get stuck!). If you don't have your own RV, you can rent one from Ray Day's RV Rentals (229-515-7008), which is literally around the corner.

Located in North Central Florida, just a half mile north of The Villages, our little gem is a charming non-working hobby farm nestled on 2.75 acres. The property features a six-stall center aisle horse barn-occasionally home to a visiting horse, a cozy chicken paddock, two friendly goats, and a welcoming Airbnb guest house also on site. While you'll be close to nightly entertainment, shopping, and dining, our peaceful setting feels a world away. Relax under the open night sky, sip your morning coffee with the chickens, or simply enjoy the countryside charm. Centrally located, we're within 30 minutes of local attractions and just about an hour from Disney and Orlando. When outdoor adventure calls, Santos Recreation Area State Park is the perfect spot for hiking and biking enthusiasts. The park offers both paved and unpaved trails, along with some of the best mountain biking trails in Florida. Bike rentals are available on-site to make your outing easy and fun. For a relaxing day on the water, Silver Springs State Park is just 20 miles away. Paddle through crystal-clear waters by canoe or kayak or experience the famous glass- bottom boat tours and catch a glimpse of the underwater world teeming with wildlife. Whether you're seeking adventure or serenity, our little corner of Central Florida has something special for everyone. Horses are welcomed for an extra fee, self-care and prior arrangements made. Trails Heads are only 25 mins away. PLEASE NOTE: This is a NON- SMOKING, NON-VAPING property. For health and sanitation reasons, human waste may not be placed in trash bins. Please dispose of it at an approved facility. Thanks for keeping our campsite clean! Disclaimer: By booking and entering this property, guests acknowledge that they do so at their own risk. The host is not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or illnesses that occur while on the premises including those resulting from interactions with animals, farm equipment, or natural features. Guests accept full responsibility for their own safety, as well as that of their children and visitors during their stay.

Beautiful spot overlooking Lake Weir in The Ocala National Forest. Watch the otters play and count the many different birds that make this lake their home. Treat yourself sunsets every night as the sun disappears into the water and enjoy the awesome reflection of the moon as it sets on the lake. (Check the moonrise/moonset tables to see if there is a visible moon during your intended stay - it really is an incredible sight). We have an amazing outdoor shower, with hot and cold running water, overlooking the lake. The extra large soaking bathtub is available for your use for $20 per stay if there are not other campers at the time due to us only having one bathroom available. Great for relaxing, bathing kids, or a very romantic evening. Canoe, stand up paddle board and kayak available for your use at no charge. You can paddle to nearby Gator Joe's which is an awesome spot on the lake for great food, drinks, and live music. Electric and water hookup (garden hose) both sites. RV 30 amp electric hookup, as well as regular 15 amp electric hookup on hilltop site. Many trees on the property makes it tricky for large vehicles to maneuver, therefor we have a limit of 25 feet including tow vehicle. Dockside site has 15 amp hookup. We do have an adapter to connect to 30 amp hookup. It is closer to the house and bathroom than site 2 and has more shade and easy access to the dock. Pontoon boat rentals are available down the road. Being on the lake we do have mosquitos but they are mostly an issue at dusk and dawn for about an hour but we are out in nature so insect encounters of all kinds are to be expected. If there is a nice breeze, which is often the case, you can enjoy the sunset from the rocker loveseat at the edge of our dock. We also have citronella torches available for rent. We also offer a large bundle of firewood for $10. Campers MUST check in by 10 pm. We recommend arriving during daylight whenever possible. It is important you understand that our property is not in the wilderness. We are NOT a commercial campground. We have a couple of acres in a residential area and there are homes near the campsite. That being said, you will have complete privacy at your campsites as the two sites are on opposite ends of the property and you will not see me at all other than when you check in, unless you desire to do so. Both campsites face the lake however, and you may see some fisherman out there from time to time, but I guarantee you will see much more wildlife than people. Each site has its own fire pit. Our guests love this place because of the lake, the incredible sunsets and moonsets over the lake, and all the incredible wildlife we have here, as you can see from the reviews. Well behaved pets are welcome off leash as long as they are supervised and don't bother other campers. They are not allowed on the porches. Please pick up any mess that is in the path of foot traffic. There is a $20 pet fee per pet per stay. Add it under extras. Pet sitting is available for an additional charge. I'm a professional photographer with 30 years of experience. Please inquire if you are interested in having your portrait made at this incredible location. We are 20 minutes from world famous Silver Springs, 20 minutes from Ocala Drive-In Movie Theater that usually shows great films for both kids and adults, and 20 minutes from the Santos Trailhead that offers world class biking and hiking paths. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about the people that come here that have not read the description, expecting a wilderness campground and choose to leave a negative review based on that but everyone that has read the description has loved it here and many return.

We offer youth day camps on various dates, pony rides and a tour of our farm animals for an additional fee. Reservations required in advance due to the other activities we have going on. In 2007, we had no idea where this adventure was going to take us. Our small urban farm was sharing our miniature animals with assisted living facilities and Neulife, where we have 3 miniature horses that live on their property. Little by little we have evolved into more of a need to share with the community and help others with the relaxing qualities our farm and animals have to offer, we want to be able to share and better educate with hands on experiences, teach kindness, patience, confidence and help others to be the best they can be. Thank you for your time and if you visit, share a review! Reviews are the best way for us to better ourselves and your experience. Have a great stay!

We opened to the public on Labor Day 2014. Most people come to stay either in our rental cottage or in their horse trailers/RVs with their horses to ride the awesome trails in the 20,000+ acre adjacent Croom Forest. However, because our ranch is so peaceful, many stay here without horses just to enjoy the peace and quiet. There are many opportunities to recreate in the area, including outstanding mountain and road biking, OHVing, hiking, golfing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many full-time and working RVers stay for extended periods. Note that our camping area is small and intimate, so you will be close to other campers. We have 5 30-amp hookups, and 2 50-amp hookups; if you need 50-amp service, please request it. Note that a minimum of a 2-night stay will typically be required on weekends, especially during our busy season. WiFi is available, but we call it "Country WiFi" since it sometimes can be slow and may or may not be accessible from where you are parked; also, Verizon cell service in our area is terrible. If internet access is important to you, we suggest having your own hotspot or internet service (many working RVers have Starlink). Note that GPS can be very mean in our rural area; make sure your turn off Highway 50 is onto paved High Corner Road, which is 2 miles west of I-75 (if GPS tries to turn you down unpaved, dead-end roads, DO NOT LISTEN..you will get stuck!). If you don't have your own RV, you can rent one from Ray Day's RV Rentals (229-515-7008), which is literally around the corner.

Located in North Central Florida, just a half mile north of The Villages, our little gem is a charming non-working hobby farm nestled on 2.75 acres. The property features a six-stall center aisle horse barn-occasionally home to a visiting horse, a cozy chicken paddock, two friendly goats, and a welcoming Airbnb guest house also on site. While you'll be close to nightly entertainment, shopping, and dining, our peaceful setting feels a world away. Relax under the open night sky, sip your morning coffee with the chickens, or simply enjoy the countryside charm. Centrally located, we're within 30 minutes of local attractions and just about an hour from Disney and Orlando. When outdoor adventure calls, Santos Recreation Area State Park is the perfect spot for hiking and biking enthusiasts. The park offers both paved and unpaved trails, along with some of the best mountain biking trails in Florida. Bike rentals are available on-site to make your outing easy and fun. For a relaxing day on the water, Silver Springs State Park is just 20 miles away. Paddle through crystal-clear waters by canoe or kayak or experience the famous glass- bottom boat tours and catch a glimpse of the underwater world teeming with wildlife. Whether you're seeking adventure or serenity, our little corner of Central Florida has something special for everyone. Horses are welcomed for an extra fee, self-care and prior arrangements made. Trails Heads are only 25 mins away. PLEASE NOTE: This is a NON- SMOKING, NON-VAPING property. For health and sanitation reasons, human waste may not be placed in trash bins.

Beautiful spot overlooking Lake Weir in The Ocala National Forest. Watch the otters play and count the many different birds that make this lake their home. Treat yourself sunsets every night as the sun disappears into the water and enjoy the awesome reflection of the moon as it sets on the lake. (Check the moonrise/moonset tables to see if there is a visible moon during your intended stay - it really is an incredible sight). We have an amazing outdoor shower, with hot and cold running water, overlooking the lake. The extra large soaking bathtub is available for your use for $20 per stay if there are not other campers at the time due to us only having one bathroom available. Great for relaxing, bathing kids, or a very romantic evening. Canoe, stand up paddle board and kayak available for your use at no charge. You can paddle to nearby Gator Joe's which is an awesome spot on the lake for great food, drinks, and live music. Electric and water hookup (garden hose) both sites. RV 30 amp electric hookup, as well as regular 15 amp electric hookup on hilltop site. Many trees on the property makes it tricky for large vehicles to maneuver, therefor we have a limit of 25 feet including tow vehicle. Dockside site has 15 amp hookup. We do have an adapter to connect to 30 amp hookup. It is closer to the house and bathroom than site 2 and has more shade and easy access to the dock. Pontoon boat rentals are available down the road. Being on the lake we do have mosquitos but they are mostly an issue at dusk and dawn for about an hour but we are out in nature so insect encounters of all kinds are to be expected. If there is a nice breeze, which is often the case, you can enjoy the sunset from the rocker loveseat at the edge of our dock. We also have citronella torches available for rent. We also offer a large bundle of firewood for $10. Campers MUST check in by 10 pm. We recommend arriving during daylight whenever possible. It is important you understand that our property is not in the wilderness. We are NOT a commercial campground. We have a couple of acres in a residential area and there are homes near the campsite. That being said, you will have complete privacy at your campsites as the two sites are on opposite ends of the property and you will not see me at all other than when you check in, unless you desire to do so. Both campsites face the lake however, and you may see some fisherman out there from time to time, but I guarantee you will see much more wildlife than people. Each site has its own fire pit. Our guests love this place because of the lake, the incredible sunsets and moonsets over the lake, and all the incredible wildlife we have here, as you can see from the reviews. Well behaved pets are welcome off leash as long as they are supervised and don't bother other campers. They are not allowed on the porches. Please pick up any mess that is in the path of foot traffic. There is a $20 pet fee per pet per stay. Add it under extras. Pet sitting is available for an additional charge. I'm a professional photographer with 30 years of experience. Please inquire if you are interested in having your portrait made at this incredible location. We are 20 minutes from world famous Silver Springs, 20 minutes from Ocala Drive-In Movie Theater that usually shows great films for both kids and adults, and 20 minutes from the Santos Trailhead that offers world class biking and hiking paths. Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about the people that come here that have not read the description, expecting a wilderness campground and choose to leave a negative review based on that but everyone that has read the description has loved it here and many return.

The best camping near Clermont with wildlife watching guide

Where to go

Richloam Wildlife Management Area

Part of Withlacoochee State Forest, Richloam Wildlife Management Area (WMA) spans over 50,000 acres of diverse natural habitats. Follow miles of well-shaded hiking and biking trails through pine forests, hardwood hammocks, swamps, and wetlands, spotting an abundance of native species. Wear boots, as parts of the trails can get muddy, or horseback trail rides are another way to explore the area. Richloam also allows hunting and fishing opportunities so long as campers follow local regulations for permits, licenses, and catch limits. Primitive campsites, some of which are hike-in and hike-out only, may come with picnic tables, grills, and fire rings, but campers need to bring their own water.

Lake Louisa State Park

Minutes south of Clermont, Lake Louisa State Park is primarily on the southern shores of the lake for which it’s named, but Lake Louisa isn’t the only lake here. The state park is also centered around Dixie Lake and Hammond Lake, with its main campground nestled in between. With 30- and 50-amp hookups, some RV sites are set on level concrete pads with a paved connection to the bathhouse with restrooms and hot showers. Other options include hammock camping, an equestrian primitive camp, and comfortable cabins. While here, fish for bluegill and largemouth bass, hike or bike over 20 miles of winding trails, or go paddling on Dixie Lake—kayak and canoe rentals are available.

Universal Orlando Resort

For a completely different kind of experience, visit one of the largest theme park resorts in Florida. Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure offer movie-themed attractions, thrill rides, and live shows, featuring such major franchises as Harry Potter, Minions, Transformers, and Jurassic Park. Make a splash at the Volcano Bay water park or indulge at Universal CityWalk. A few miles south of Universal Orlando is Walt Disney World Resort for more magical memory-making. Several RV parks are conveniently set near both resorts, accommodating travel trailers and campervans with full hookups for electricity and water, picnic areas, wifi, and clubhouses.

When to go

With its subtropical climate, Clermont weather is generally warm and sunny year-round. Peak summer months can be hot and humid, in the high 80s, with a more significant insect population. For milder weather and potentially more pleasant outdoor experiences, consider camping in the spring and fall. These shoulder seasons are also great for birdwatching, as migratory birds pass through the area. In the winter, daytime highs hover in the low 70s. From late fall to early spring, look for manatees migrating along nearby natural springs.
