Welcome to Rest Nest, our peaceful retreat space on a 40-acre working farm in Umatilla, FL. Whether you're pitching a tent or parking your camper, you'll have a quiet, tucked-away spot surrounded by trees, fresh air, and open skies—just you, the birds, and the stars. Our land is a mix of wild woods and cultivated gardens. We’re growing food and community with a focus on soil regeneration, native planting, and creating safe habitat for wildlife-and space for humans to rewild. You might spot monarchs in the pollinator beds, hear owls in the pine canopy, or get a giggle at our chickens free-ranging. We're a family homestead, and you'll likely see signs of everyday farm life—children playing, garden beds in progress, and seasonal projects around the land. Rest Nest is designed to be a slow, intentional space that supports both rest and reconnection—with yourself, with the Earth, and with the rhythms of simple living. Guests are welcome to walk our nature paths, explore native plantings, or simply connect and recharge by a small camp fire. Looking to unwind even more? You can book a session in our outdoor infrared sauna or cold plunge—simple ways to soothe your body and support your well-being while you’re here. We’re just minutes from Alexander Springs, Juniper Springs, and the Ocala National Forest, and a short drive to Mount Dora, Ormond Beach, and even Orlando for a day trip. Local gems like Sunsational Country Store and Atwood’s U-pick Farm are just up the road if you want to explore nearby. You'll likely see us around the farm, and we're always happy to lend a hand or say hello if you’d like company. That said, we’re also mindful of your space and will let you enjoy the peace and quiet unless you reach out. We ask that guests respect the natural rhythm of this space—quiet evenings, mindful fires, and leaving no trace are all part of what keeps Rest Nest nourishing for everyone who visits. Come root in, breathe deep, and let the land work its quiet magic.

Great hosts! Very friendly. Awesome location, you can get to the local springs in 15-20 min. (Know before you go to the springs though, the parks all have their own idiosyncrasies) Otherwise, the yurt was comfy for two people. Had a comfy queen sized mattress. The fire out with the Adirondack chairs was awesome at night, great view of the stars. It was a little cool (lows in the 50’s at night) for me, but they provided power to plug into so I was super comfy!

Very nice tiny home on the water, loved the sunset and abundant wildlife, gators, turtles, cranes, even saw a momma otter and her two babies. Boat ramp is decent, should be deep enough for boats up to 20ft but it was very shallow in most parts. Just stick to the marked areas. Will definitely be back, great place to unwind and far from the more crowded areas.

The host was absolutely amazing and the property was beautiful and peaceful!! My husband and I booked another site that was not as advertised (we immediately left due to not feeling safe) and the wonderful host at Courtney's Land saved the day and was very quick to accept our reservation (with a very short notice) and saved our weekend! The host was so pleasant and easy to communicate with. The property was easy to find. This site is perfect for primative camping with plenty of room to explore. They have little peaceful trails around the property that were fun to explore. We will defiantly visit again!

Welcome to our little homestead. Nestled amidst the serene countryside, this quaint campground offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounded by lush farms and sprawling horse pastures, the air is filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers and the gentle rustle of leaves. With only a handful of RV spots and a few cozy tents scattered among the trees, guests can truly reconnect with nature while roasting marshmallows over crackling campfires under a blanket of stars. Here, the pace slows down, allowing visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the simple pleasures of rural life. We just finished (well 2 years ago) traveling the country in an RV with five of our 7 kids (oldest two were in college) and we had a terrible time finding places to stay in Saint Augustine when we came home to visit. I hope that we can offer some nice people a safe and beautiful place to park their rig. Things to do: The property is near the historic St. Augustine, a fun walkable/bikeable city, lots of state parks and of course an awesome beach! Other things to note: 6 Miles away is 4 Lakes Campground with dumping facilities

At the top of the hill overlooking the heart-shaped spring, one will find the rustic Great Lodge where guests can come and mingle with each other, enjoy a relaxing conversation and a drink on the veranda or just sit and watch the activity in and around the spring.

Where to go

Blue Spring State Park

Minutes south of DeLand, Blue Spring State Park features a crystal-clear natural spring with refreshing 72-degree water year-round. The spring serves as a winter refuge for hundreds of West Indian manatees, also known as sea cows. Popular water activities in the park include canoe and kayak rentals, snorkeling, swimming, and scuba diving. Or check out guided riverboat cruises along the historic St. Johns River instead. Walking distance from the spring, the park’s campsites accommodate RVs up to 40 feet in length, offering water and electricity hookups, bathhouses, grills, and picnic tables. Cabin rentals with central heating and cooling are available too.

De León Springs State Park

Native Mayaca people who once lived in the area referred to De León Springs State Park as Acuera, meaning “Healing Waters.” It’s best known for its crystal-clear spring waters teeming with fish. But, it’s also an excellent place to cool off during hot and humid Florida summers in a rented kayak or canoe. Explore 22,000 acres of lakes, creeks, and marshes. Or hike scenic nature trails that wind through subtropical and floodplain forests, including a 600-year-old cypress tree, with ample birdwatching and wildlife viewing opportunities near Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. The park offers oak-shaded picnic tables and grills, accessible restrooms, and an outdoor shower station. Private RV campgrounds are nearby with full facilities as well.

Tomoka State Park

Near Ormond Beach along Florida’s Atlantic Coast, Tomoka State Park is less than an hour northeast of DeLand. The park surrounds the meandering Tomoka River and is known for its diverse ecosystems, rich history, and abundant recreational opportunities. Go fishing along the park’s rivers, streams, and lagoons to reel in black drum, sheepshead, common snook, and spotted sea trout. Each of the 100 campsites offer tent camping and can fit RVs up to 34 feet long and offer full hookups for electricity and water. Other campground amenities include hot showers, picnic tables, and a dump station.

When to go

For Hipcampers keen to observe manatees in their natural environment, the mild winters in DeLand are an excellent time of year to visit. Daytime temperatures in winter typically range between the 60s and 70s—dipping into the 40s overnight.
