2 nights at True Trail Farm

Great place to stay very quiet peaceful our son loved to chase the chickens

7 nights at North Shore Relic Ranch

Gorgeous grounds & very peaceful yet close to everything you need!

1 night at North Shore Relic Ranch

The site was beautiful and very well kept with chairs, fire pit, and lights. The host was very kind and very flexible with us as we arrived late at night and he still met us to guide us to our site. The relics are pretty neat to go see as well as the cows. One thing to note is the mosquitoes are absolutely ruthless out there because it’s in swampy area, so bring loads of strong bug spray.

Weekend Trip to Forever Young Farm

We enjoyed staying there! Lots of space for us and our dogs and a cute area with chairs, grill and a fireplace.

3 nights at Davis Farm

Enjoyed our stay at Lee’s Land! Full hookups on a very nice, well kept piece of land. Very friendly and helpful, would certainly go back.

3 nights at Davis Farm

This is a beautiful location with spacious well-kept grounds and a peaceful resting place after a busy day at nearby theme parks, beach, or Kennedy Space exhibit. Acreage to walk dogs or for children; wooded area at the margins; and horses in a pasture next door. During the day there is a mild air traffic noise but not bothersome. Jim is the best host I can imagine; he is there to help us get settled and parked, and back again to wish us well as we leave. I would happily stay here again!!!

5 nights at K&E Farms

The women at the campsite is the kindest host ever! Would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Private Escape on the Lake

Small and quite campground, great for stargazing at night. The host was helpful and very nice to chat with. There are no showers but they to provide water hookups for those quick rinse offs. Lovely view of the lake in front of the property.

2 nights at True Trail Farm

Had a wonderful stay here with the goats and chickens! By far the best outdoor bathroom & shower I’ve been to. The host is funny and generous, their property offers a surprising amount of privacy for its proximity to any shop you could need. They fit us in last minute midweek, truly a great spot to stay!

4 nights at True Trail Farm

This hipcamp is right off the road. Nice maintained property. The animals were great. Clean bathroom and shower! Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Home of Many Miniature Animals

We loved camping on Tracey’s land! Beautiful big trees and the cutest animals. Tracey was always quick to reply and very helpful. Toilet and shower was just as described: porter potty and an outdoor shower that can be used for a quick rinse.

Weekend Trip to North Shore Relic Ranch

Cute place, great staff. Beware of the mosquitos in Florida in the summer :) Natrapel (Picaridin) kept them off at least. I also used a Thermacell to keep them away.

Weekend Trip to Home of Many Miniature Animals

We really enjoyed our stay! The campground was peaceful and surrounded by nature, which made it easy to unwind. Having the animal farm right there was such a nice touch—super cute and fun to visit. The location is great, with several beautiful springs not too far. And don’t miss Mount Dora! It’s a charming little town nearby with lots of character. Overall, a great experience and we’d definitely come back.

1 night at Home of Many Miniature Animals

Lovely and peaceful getaway near Mt. dora historic district and within a reasonable drive of multiple spring heads. Stayed just for the night but we were gifted with the curiosity filled visitation of two beautiful Barred Owls, who watched over us intently as we setup camp, ate dinner and told scary stories around our campfire. Tracey was welcoming and answered any questions that I had immediately via the app. We would stay again.

1 night at Beautiful Orlando-Area Lake Camping

Cadre magnifique, réveil devant le lac dans le fond du terrain avec les animaux sauvages et les petits écureuils. Petit bémol pour la ferme à poulets juste à côté avec un bruit permanent de ventilateur. Cela dit nous avons bien dormis, et nous y avons passé 2 nuits . Je recommande cet endroit, l'hôte est très sympathique et nous avons profité d'un robinet d'eau pour remplir notre RV.

2 nights at North Shore Relic Ranch

Great place to relax and adventure! The sites offer so much privacy, far apart and owner kept most trees. Buggy, I'd highly recommend DEET. We will definitely be coming back, everything was perfect. Some awfully friendly cows, too!

1 night at Private Escape on the Lake

Beautiful spot! Paul was very helpful and we had a wonderful time.

Weekend Trip to True Trail Farm

Great location since we wanted to be close to town but still off the beaten path. Ideal for kids to be close to the chickens and goats. Great host who were friendly especially toward the kids giving them some education and allow to assist in chores. Had access to fresh eggs and goat milk. A very relaxing & private atmosphere Would definitely return if we are in the area.

Weekend Trip to Beautiful Orlando-Area Lake Camping

This spot is fantastic! Tucked in at the back of the property with lake front views. Very peaceful and lots of wildlife.

Weekend Trip to Private Escape on the Lake

Again, we had the most amazing time at Escape on the Lake this past weekend! It was pure relaxation and bliss. Only a scenic 30-minute drive away from the vibrant town of DeLand, there is always something exciting happening on the weekends, like the lively music festival we stumbled upon during our stay. Additionally, the close proximity to De Leon Springs National Park provided the perfect opportunity for a soothing soak in its natural spring. This sanctuary has become our favorite spot for unwinding and enjoying stress-free weekends.

North Shore Relic Ranch

8 sites · RVs, Tents80 acres · Mount Dora, FL

This property is called relic ranch because we have actually found a ton of old relics. the campground is under an ancient canopy of oaks. so youll always have shade. the center of the property is unique to say the least but the campground is nature at its finest. there is a 2.6 mile nature trail across from the campground to explore. also there is a boat ramp for fishing about 1/8 mile away. you are welcome to roam over most of the 80 acres. We have goats, cows and chickens as well. All super friendly.
