I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it was .. Peaceful, and to wake up with good mornings from the horses and a visit from the donkeys in the afternoon was spectacular... The tour on Saturday was amazing! I would give it 10 stars! It was a pleasure to meet Rob and Mike, they are the nicest... See you again real soon!!!!

We can see why it was voted the best camping site in 2025. The hosts were so wonderful and gracious and it was a treat to get to tour the ranch and see all the animals! The facilities were very well taken care of and Rob and Mike were very quick to respond and accommodate!
My only recommendation to future campers is make sure you’re bringing your deep woods spray to deter little hitchhikers. We will definitely be back to enjoy the campground and Hobbit Hole again!

It was my son's first time tent camping, and even though I forgot the marshmallows at home, Rob & Mike came to the rescue! Their communication was amazing during our entire stay! The farm was beautiful, the horses and donkeys were magical and hysterical (when they try to sneak your coffee). Highly recommend!

This place is a peaceful getaway. I have revisited on multiple occasions and I am always impressed by the care and attention to detail the hosts provide. This forestry conservation is exceptional. The added benefits of free roaming donkeys and horses are captivating. I never get enough of visiting Lucky U Ranch. Thanks Mike&Rob for another memorable stay. Keep up the great work.

Wonderful place to camp and relax. Really enjoyed the donkeys and the horses coming to visit us at our campsite daily. The hosts are so sweet and accommodating. Gave us a ranch tour so we could visit all of the new baby, goats, turkeys, chickens etc. already planning another trip in May and bringing other friends with us. I highly recommend this hip camp

Rob and Mike’s place is the best. We love the horses and donkeys knocking at our door in the morning. Their facilities are amazing, great site locations, showers, and farm tour. This is our second year at this wonderful location. Everyone is so friendly. If you love farm animals and plenty of land to hike around, this is the place for you.

I use Hipcamp quite a bit and this is one of the best Hipcamp I have ever visited!!
The host of fantastic, wonderful, and kind folks. It was lovely getting to know them a little bit! The ranch itself is fantastic. There are large swaths of forest with hiking trails and the camp sites are some of the most secluded private campsites I have ever been to at a Hipcamp. The shower and bathroom and kitchen facilities are fantastic! They even provide towels, which is amazing!!:). The animals are adorable, beautiful creatures And it's wonderful to spend time with them. Rob and Mike obviously invest a lot of time, energy and love into creating a wonderful space. I will definitely be back again soon and highly highly recommend Hipcamp!!

I really enjoyed my time at Cedarkirk and would definitely return. The camp sites were separated by bushes to give privacy. The amenities were clean, and the land around the camp was beautiful. The area was peaceful and serene. I would highly recommend a visit.

We stayed at Lucky U Ranch Campground from Friday through Monday, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Bob and Mike made us feel right at home. They are incredibly kind, welcoming, and clearly care about their guests having a great time.
One of the highlights of our stay was the farm tour, it was excellent! Getting up close and spending time with the animals was such a special experience. There’s something truly refreshing about being able to slow down, interact with the animals, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
For my wife and me, this trip was the perfect opportunity to step away from the stress of the tax code, computers, and everyday responsibilities, and reconnect with nature. The ranch offers a calm, relaxing environment that helps you reset and recharge.
We truly enjoyed every minute of our stay and are already looking forward to coming back again. If you’re looking for a welcoming place to unwind and experience farm life in a beautiful natural setting, Lucky U Ranch Campground is the perfect choice!

This was the first time we camped in Florida and I was so excited to have started with this place on our list! Our 3yr old absolutely loved all the animals, she was so excited that we received visits from both the donkeys, and the horses! We can't wait to book again!

By far the best camping experience I’ve ever had. Amenities at a campground are crazy but to have them plus being that incredibly clean is unheard of. The goats and horses made it that much better. Well done and we will be back. Thank you.

Loved camping at Lucky U Ranch! My tent site was so beautifu with old oaks and Cypress trees providing shade and an open area to view the stars. Very peaceful and quiet with dim lighting for viewing the sky. Sites are spaced well for privacy also. Hot showers and tasty complementary coffee and hot chocolate or cold water. Wildlife abounds and the farm animals are friendly. Hiking trails too! Rob and Mike are wonderful hosts. Plenty of extras available too.
