Weekend Trip to Caceres Organic Blueberry Farms

It was very peaceful. Very nice little setup. Had a fire ring and picnic table and that’s all you need. Me dogs roamed around and quickly learned about the cactus. No harm done and there are warning signs, my dogs just can’t read. It’s a nice little retreat away. We will definitely be back.

Had a wonderful time tent camping with my dogs. I loved that they could run free (please not that there are cactus on the property - there are signs - so just make sure your dog doesn’t get pricked) and explore the land. We were the only campers at sites 1-4 so it was quiet. You can hear some road noise. Close to a lot of state parks and springs to do some exploring! We will definitely be back!

Comfortable and cozy, surrounded by nature and still close to all landmarks. We observed red cardinal and countless deer frolicking the area. 4 min walk to the river to check out with your morning coffee. A lot of timber to burn and clean air to breathe! Outdoors amenities are awesome too. Thank you Sharon!

Sharon and her campsite are exceptional! There is ample space for a group and secluded for two. We camped with her last year and since she’s added a bathhouse and a full working toilet! The shower is ran off spring water (no hot water) which is perfect after spending the day in the sun or at the springs! Springs are conveniently located, with there also being a boat/kayak launch two minutes down the road! Would recommend her spot to anyone and we will definitely be back.

I can’t say enough good thinks about Sharon - super responsive, helpful, points you to fun things to do; she was wonderful and made my stay that much more enjoyable. And of course a lovely spot, loads of room to spread out if you’re a group and quiet. The bathhouse/shower is definitely rustic but everything worked great!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Sharon is an amazing host for many reasons… Always responded quickly to my messages, gave great advice and options for places to explore, provided easy to follow directions, insured the campsite was clean, stocked and ready for us when we arrived and told us to message anytime if we needed anything. The site was spacious and exactly how it was described in the listing. We enjoyed sitting around the fire, star gazing, and listening to the owls at night and song birds during the day. Got to see some deer wander through the woods nearby and walked a short ways down the road to look at the farm animals in the neighbors front yard. All in all it was a great escape to enjoy nature and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a great stay at this campsite over the weekend! The site itself was well-maintained and had the added bonus of a toilet and shower, which made things a lot more comfortable. One of the highlights was the easy access to the river — perfect for swimming during the hot afternoons. Evenings by the fire were peaceful and relaxing. One note for future campers: make sure your pets are up to date on flea and tick medication, as the area is pretty active with nature. Overall, a great spot for a weekend getaway!

Camping here was so peaceful. We were the only ones around, and it was nice and quiet. Although there is a road fairly nearby, the traffic sounds more like white noise than anything. We got to tour the blueberry bushes and turmeric roots. We were right by a gorgeous basin of water nice and cold for swimming. The porta potty was clean, there was rain water for doing dishes, and drinking water closer to the house. The showers were HOT hot and never ran out, plus had a great view of the property. I recommend buying some turmeric powder from Richard, it’s the freshest turmeric I’ve ever tasted. We will be coming back to volunteer! Highly recommend.

My girlfriend and I arrived Thursday afternoon planning to leave Saturday, but ended up staying until Sunday. We felt so welcomed, relaxed, and secure all st the same time. Richard was a warm and accommodating host offering directions, greetings, and firewood deliveries. A great stay overall. Steaming hot showers are provided along with a beautiful sunset view from the stalls. Campsites are well maintained and grounds of the farm are pleasant. A watering hole is available on the property and was fresh and clear, room from jumping as well. Nice places to suntan. Thanks Richard for a wonderful weekend on your farm.
