We had a great stay at Penny Lane! Mark and his wife were welcoming and made sure we had everything (50 to 30 converter). Their land is nestled amongst pet horses, chickens and moss covered oaks. I was peaceful yet minutes from Mount Dora and several hiking trailheads.

While I was in Mark's front yard, I felt like I was a world away at my own farm. This wonderfully flat and clear site faces the horses and the nursery at the front of the property. It's far enough out to feel like you're in the countryside, but close enough to everything to feel like you're in the city.
Just 15 minutes from Mt. Dora and 45 from the Lake Apopka Wilderness Drive, a perfect recommendation from Mark, Pennylane Farm is a perfect spot.

Amazing land, amazing people, beautiful space to be quiet and enjoy the greatness of this creation. I was the only one there and must say it was awesome! Hector and his sons were amazing came out and checked on me to see if I needed anything.
The breakfast in the morning overlooking the rolling hills was the best. If you are looking for a relaxing peaceful retreat, book now!

We enjoyed our brief stay at the Promise. Just what we were looking for, a quiet place to stop for a day. With the recent dry weather the sand in the wooded area was quite loose though we had no issues getting in and out. I would advise a quick recon on foot before you go in mostly to confirm a route through the woods. There are a couple of options and it’s helpful to know which one works for you. Our stay was brief but enjoyable. Very quiet and heavily shaded site with options to stay in the field before the woods if desired. The shade was welcomed and cut the heat considerably compared to the field. We would definitely stay again when we are in the area.

The Farmland is beautiful. We loved watching the sunrise over the pastors. The horses and chickens were fun to watch. The Host Mark was a great guy. Fun to talk to and very accommodating. It's a peaceful place to camp. I would recommend this place!

Staying at Marks was a great area. The family was very caring and helpful.
They have horses and chickens was fun to watch the animals react with our dogs. We stayed 12 days when it was time to leave we had a hard time, due to the enjoyment we had. I would come back to the place. Very peaceful and quite. Loved our stay. Thank you Mark and family.

Very nice safe location with a congenial host. It was about 10 minutes into Mt. Dora and close to gas and supplies. The horses were sweet and our dogs didn’t quite know about the chickens! Would have been great for star gazing but the temp dropped when the sun dropped. Nice stay with electric and water hook ups and a place to dump on the way out! Very reasonable priced, too!

Amazing experience at this place. What a beautiful area. Woke up with an amazing sunrise. The location is not far from Orlando and the surrounding area. The host and hostess were really nice, welcoming and friendly, she even helped me through my embarrassing mishap. They had friendly horses that enjoyed being petted and she even had some chickens running around. Can't say enough good about it and the full hookups! Great after going over 2 weeks boondocking. If you want a nice peaceful time this is your place.
