29mi from Inverness · 3 sites · Tents, RVs · Ocklawaha , FL

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.

Good rustic setting. Small farm with lotsa goats. Probably not for very big rigs. Main house is kinda close but you should still be able to get some privacy. Owners were gone while we were there. I'd reach out early just to make sure they are home before you stay. Both spots have full power/water/sewer.

Weekend Trip to Marci's Magical Lakefront Oasis

Marci was a gem. We canceled one reservation, because of our schedule, we had late modifications, again, our issue … Marci just went with our flow and we are thankful. Nicest bathroom facilities you will see at a Hipcamp, I’m sure! The lake location is perfect for water fun.

3 star. The hookups were difficult to attach at the same time. The well water was brown and smelt weird. The bathroom had lizard poop everywhere. The animals looked like they needed some love. Yet, the view of the field was beautiful. Don’t expect much for the price.

Weekend Trip to Marci's Magical Lakefront Oasis

We enjoyed our two nights at Marci's site. The site closer to the dock has a fire pit in a more secluded corner of the yard and with the tent placed and our truck parked next to it we couldn't even see the house. After welcoming us and guiding us in we didn't have any need to contact Marci and we had a peaceful stay. I think we would definitely stay again as the proximity to Santos trailhead was not too far. Only concern was that there are some lower branches along the narrow driveway that did brush our truck so anything larger might have difficulty unless they're trimmed.

Weekend Trip to Collins Farm

We really enjoyed our weekend camping at Collins Farm. Having the field of goats, sheep, pigs, and a horse added a nice atmosphere. Except for the roosters, it’s very quiet. The site was level with full hookups, all in great working order. There was even an extra length of sewer hose provided in case you needed an extension. There is Wi-Fi, but it’s a pretty weak signal so don’t plan on streaming video, but we could get some connectivity. The location is very close to Micanopy which has a quaint little downtown with some antique shops and restaurants. Old Florida Cafe was a favorite. And it’s only 20 mins to Gainesville, so convenient for events at UF. We highly recommend Collins Farm and will be back.

Golden hour at the barn—peaceful animals, rustling trees, and the charm of rural life in full view.

4 nights at Collins Farm

My stay at Collins Farm was unforgettable. The property itself is stunning—peaceful open pastures, friendly animals, and a serene campsite right in the heart of the farm. But what truly made the experience special was the host, Jason. During a surprise power outage and torrential downpour, Jason went above and beyond by lending us a generator and personally setting it up in the rain. He was incredibly polite, professional, and responsive the entire time. Jason also took the time to answer all my questions about the animals and how they’re cared for, which made the visit even more enriching. Every animal—from the goats to the pigs, roosters, and turkeys—was gentle, well-cared for, and a joy to interact with. This is the perfect place to unplug, relax, and reconnect with nature. I highly recommend Collins Farm and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Jason!

We enjoyed our relaxing stay at Collin’s Farm. It was a nice change of pace from our previous Hipcamp sites. We met Jason upon arriving, and he made sure we were squared away on our site. We were disappointed that we didn’t get to meet Erica. The farm animals were fun to watch, and our 11 year old cattledog was fascinated with them as well.

Weekend Trip to Sweet Citrus Acres RV Resort

Super bougie spot to Hipcamp! Not sure they understand the nature of Hipcamp yet - very new. We were the only pop up travel trailer. This is more of a RV park. Amenities are amazing. Guests very welcoming. No communication with host via Hipcamp once booked - did not know which site was ours, the gate code, etc. Happened to run into a guest who once worked the office and she helped us.
