Hey guys! As avid campers and adventure seekers ourselves, we know how important safe (and cost effective) space for a night or two is. That’s why we decided to offer a corner of our own rural paradise - amongst the mature oaks, blooming magnolias and palms. We have just under 7 acres with plenty of yard to share.

Our pricing reflects our humble start and we invite you to park your RV, pop open your tent and make yourself at home. A few things you can expect… ~Wherever you decide to set up camp, we will provide a picnic table, trash can and fire pit with wood. ~We are super pet friendly so bring your furry family members and we will ensure they’re safe and comfortable as well. ~There is access to water from the main house. ~ Electricity can be provided depending on how close you set up to the house. WiFi as well. ~ We do have a chicken coop so you can expect to hear them throughout the day. ~ We are on a dead end road in a rural residential area. Super quiet! ~ Pit potty in a super cute Outhouse. ~ If you stay during the month of March, you will adore our lightening bugs! ~ Tons of mature trees so bring your hammocks. ~ We are on site and available to you when needed.

Weekend Trip to Camp Wild Fern

Hosts were excellent and very responsive! The site was huge and very lush with the surrounding trees. Loved the visiting chickens and the calling owls. There was an excellent bike trail just a couple of miles from here which made it perfect for a full day of biking. And then also the close proximity to New Smyrna made an excellent second day. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful stay! We wish we could have stayed longer. We enjoyed the fire pit. Plenty of space for a private campsite. Outdoor shower and bathroom is a plus and clean. It was a little chilly for the pool but everything felt like home. Steve and Rachel are great host. We will definitely be back when we are in the area. Close to everything in NSB.

Very nice place to stay. Pool and tiki bar for guests to enjoy. Poolside bathroom and outdoor shower. The camping area was spacious and private. I felt safe and I was comfortable leaving our little camper when we went for daily excursions! Steve and Rachel were very friendly and accommodating. Lots to do in the area!

Weekend Trip to Trenchgoat farm

Lovely farm and great RV layout! We booked 3 nights but only stayed 1 due to our dog. There are some sort of lil dingle berries all over the farm that were matted into our dogs fur. We literally pulled out hundreds of them numerous times. They are about the size of a peppercorn. I assume it is a grass seed of some sort. Great place just not for pets & dogs.

I enjoyed my stay on their property. It was very quiet, and I greeted by the local owls at night and also in the morning. It was neat to hear them, they definitely know when there’s movement. Also the chickens were curious and friendly. I wished I would’ve asked could I buy some eggs, but I didn’t think about it. There’s a park up the street near a Circle K that I spent some time at, it has some very nice trails to walk. I hope to get back to their property another time in the future.

Very beautiful, large camp spot. Lots of oak trees and ferns of course. Ragan was very friendly and gave us privacy. The site is close to the house just an FYI, but we had no issues with that. They provided a fire pit, nice bench seating and a picnic table. Bathroom was very clean and potable water nearby too.

The site was exactly what we were looking for. A nice level spot that felt private and open space for our dog to run. The hosts were kind and helpful. Access to the bathroom and pool area is an amazing bonus when you’re camping. Wood was available for a fire. We will definitely be back if we are in the area again.

From the magical Spanish moss covered trees, to the clucking chickens. Everything about this secluded paradise is amazing. Very private and tucked away. My daughter and I spent 2 nights here and had an amazing time. Plenty of room for camping activities and parking right at the camp site is a life saver. Pictures don't do this property justice. You could sit for hours watching owls and birds of all types. Sunrays glimming threw the massive trees is breathtaking. Plenty of shade all day! Will definitely try to make another trip soon.

For my cycling, the south spot gives me a good central spot to go for long ride via the Withlacoochee trail near by and many dedicated bike lanes. It is a good central location with stores and all sorts of other activities in the many cities around. The owner, George, is very responsive to any issues that can arise. If you are looking for a quiet place with being capable offer the same, it is a good place to be.

Great spot easy of access and place yourself on. The camp is a good, quiet, central location for the many cities with stores and all the many activities to do around. In my case for cycling, it offers the Withlacoochee trail and many other dedicated cycling lanes for added safety. George, the host, is very responsive and helping for any situations that can come up. Again, for people that like it quiet and can offer quietness to others, it is a good spot to be in.

Nice place, not too secluded.But far away enough from light pollution to see a lot of stars, at least a lot more than my wife and I have ever seen. Stayed here during a full moon, it was so dark here but the moon itself lit everything up like it was daytime.
