River, stream, or creek glamping near Gainesville

Very quiet, idyllic site along the river. Everything was extremely clean. Great place to unplug.

I will be back a thousand times. I have absolutely fallen in love with this place. I love it so much that I debated on even leaving review because I didn't want to give away the secret of how awesome this place is ☺️ I'm not sure if Nancy owns the place or not, but she's an amazing camp host. From the chicken employees, to the comfort station treats, she really has thought of everything possible to make your stay as carefree as possible. The beds were comfy, cabin was cutely decorated, there are grills and utensils to use for everyone and inside your cabin. It was clean. The place was easy to find, and well lit. The people that were staying there were all friendly and didn't mess with you but were available for conversation if you felt so inclined. What a complete gem. This day was exactly what we needed. Can't wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Serene Forested Blueberry Farm

Awesome campsite. We stayed in primitive site #1 and it was incredibly spacious. We have a 12-person tent so it is quite large and we could’ve have fit at least 2 more tents in the spot. It seemed to be slightly bigger than primitive site #2. It was very private as well. No electricity or water at the site, but the comfort station, bathrooms, and dish washing station are close by. The bathrooms were super clean and nice. The site does have a fire pit with a grill grate and a picnic table. The staff was super friendly. There is so much to do in the surrounding areas as well as at the campsite. We spent lots of time fishing. We dropped a fishing light off the dock and watched giant fish and softshell turtles swim around. We went to Troy Springs, Ichetucknee Springs, and O’Leno State Park. I HIGHLY suggest Ichetucknee springs. Beautiful water, not too expensive, and we even saw a manatee!! We spent hours hiking at O’Leno and barely even scratched the surface. We will definitely be back.

We had such a lovely time camping with friends at the Blueberry Farm! Cassandra is such a wonderful, thoughtful and considerate host. The sites are all lovely - clean, comfortable, and well equipped with so many special touches. We had a great time exploring the sites in Forest and hanging at the site playing games and enjoying the fire. This was my 3rd time staying at the Blueberry Farm and I can't wait to visit again.

Highly recommend! Peaceful, Clean, Great location! We stayed in one of the small cabins. Joe the host was awesome and told us much about the property. Lots of friendly dogs and free roaming chickens everywhere. Free coffee and amenities were very creative. We will be back and try some tent camping

We had a wonderful stay. Everyone there was welcoming and kind. As a woman traveling with 3 kids and a dog, a kind and helpful community was great. The cabin was perfect and river was beautiful. We were happy!

The Blueberry Farm was everything I had hoped for and more. The camper I stayed in (The Gunnisack) was the perfect combination of well-appointed, cozy, and rustic, with all the amenities to make for a comfortable experience. An excellent mattress, an AC, all necessary cooking implements, firewood, a fire bowl, tiki torches... Cassandra truly thought of everything. The Gunnisack is tucked away in a little wooded bower, so it's perfect for anyone in search of peace and quiet. I recommend this spot to anyone looking for a rustic, homey getaway that's close to all the amazing nature that Central Florida has to offer (the manatees, gators, monkeys, and incredible birds of Ocala National Forest are just a short drive away).

Had an amazing stay at Hookie’s Hideaway Forest Camp! Cassandra was a fantastic host—super friendly and welcoming. The outdoor shower with hot water was a great touch, and the campsite itself was peaceful and well-maintained. It’s a fantastic spot to visit with kids, and we loved getting fresh eggs from the farm’s chickens. Beautiful, relaxing vibes all around, and the location is perfect—close to the springs. Highly recommend!

1 night at Bowman's Landing

Nice shaded site. Friendly staff. Clean private bath with shower.

Charming little slice of Americana. Five star hospitality and a nice get-away.

2 nights at Bowman's Landing

Bowman’s landing was wonderful! Such a sweet slice of peaceful paradise! We loved pitching our tent here for a few days while we paddled nearby springs!

We absolutely loved our stay! Wonderful grounds for family fun! Enjoyed being close to Ichetucknee so we could go enjoy during the day and have a cozy bed to come back to!

We absolutely have loved our time here and will return. A peaceful area. Lovely host. Clean campground. Bathroom and shower are good. Water was easily accessible for kayak and float. Fishing was fun.

My family absolutely loved it out there, even though it rained a lot! I between the rain the kids enjoyed riding the bikes (free of charge). The kids played in the water right off the dock some and even got a little fishing in. We was abel to upgrade to a cabin after the first night and it was absolutely lovely! Slept the 4 of us comfy! The camp hosts was all so kind a patient with us and our children , I’m sure my 12 yo son talked everyone’s ears off and they was very polite to him (autism and adhd super powers). My 13 yo daughter has already been talking about wanting to come back and to be honest I’m excited to visit again!

Great experience, very hospitable. The host provides coffee and creamer and treats for the kids. Little things like that make the difference!

We had an amazing time staying at little lulu! Cassandra was very attentive and greeted us upon arrival. We felt right at home. The RV was perfect for our weekend getaway. It was spacious enough for us and had all the amenities we needed. Little lulu is perfectly tucked away in the woods and we had enough privacy from the other campers but close enough to the outhouse. I would highly recommend staying here and if I’m ever in the area again I would happily stay here again.

4 nights at Treehouse Cabin Retreat - Florida

It was awesome and the Camp hosts were great! If you are tent camping, grab primitive campsite 2 if possible, but they are both great!

Everything was exactly as described. The host was great. We have a family of 6 and this was the perfect vacation for us. I highly recommend The Treehouse Retreat for families.

Outstanding experience! We ended our two week FL road trip here and it was exactly what we needed. From the beautiful stars in the night sky to the sweetest cat - we had such a cozy, restorative time. Cassandra and Walt were super communicative, helpful, and so welcoming. We hope to be back again one day!
