Really great location close to the beach and grocery stores and restaurants, yet it is still in a quiet place just off the beaten path. Roxie is a wonderful host who met us upon arrival and departure to make sure all was going well. She even gave us some amazing fresh eggs from her chickens that roam freely on the land. (Be prepared for a lot of rooster crowing EARLY in the mornings). Our campsite was level and had water and electric. It was not too close to the other campers who were there and we had plenty of privacy. Star gazing was awesome! Highly recommend."

We had a really relaxing stay at Laura's place. The campsite felt secluded and private, which made it easy to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Waking up to the cows ( Bessy, Nutmeg, Paprika, Doris and Thunder) nearby added so much charm and made the experience feel unique.
The kayaks were a nice touch and gave us another way to enjoy the property. Laura was a wonderful host—friendly, welcoming, and easy to communicate with while still giving us plenty of privacy.
If you're looking for a quiet place to disconnect, enjoy nature, and experience a little farm life, I would definitely recommend staying here. We'd happily come back again.

Absolutely spectacular and peaceful. We actually stayed at their newly opened section of their property and it was incredibly secluded and private. It felt like we were our in the wilderness completely by ourselves (which we love).
The deer visited us every morning and I caught a catfish off of their dock.
I had planned on kayaking but we ended up exploring some of the surrounding areas instead. There's always next time.

We had a great stay at Kathryn’s property! She was incredibly kind, checked in on us each day, and made us feel very welcome. The animals were so sweet and were a highlight of our trip.
The only issue we had was due to our own inexperience with tent camping during a heavy rainstorm. When our gear got soaked, Kathryn kindly offered us her cottage for a very reasonable fee, which we were very grateful for. The location is also excellent, with easy access to the springs and plenty of nearby restaurants. We would definitely recommend staying here, especially for RV travelers!

We stayed in the Gypsy and loved it. Very comfortable and equipped well. Views from the windows of the Gypsy are like looking at a painting. The hosts, Kathy and her husband, are wonderful. She introduced us to all the very friendly animals. The property is very relaxing and beautiful. Love the hanging trees and all the shade. We sat outside in the evening and watched the animals. In the morning it was fun to watch the baby goats run around and they came up to say hello. Chickens are free roaming and so wonderful. If you love animals you have to stay here. The location had been on our list to try and so glad we did.

Where to go
Tiger Bay State Forest
You won’t see any tigers at Tiger Bay State Forest—but you will see white-tailed deer, sparrows, and the occasional bald eagle. Beyond its wildlife, this forest comes with all of the fixings. Think: equestrian access, lakes and ponds ripe for fishing, and, of course, plenty of hiking trails. The final perk of the forest? Campsites, available for both you and your horse.
Tomoka State Park
Just a few minutes from Ormond Beach, Tomoka State Park invites boaters and birdwatchers alike. More than 160 species of birds call this park home, and, for the duration of your camping trip, so can you. Tomoka State Park campgrounds come with access to nature trails, picnic areas, and restrooms, making this sprawling park a one-stop shop for all of your camping whims.
Bulow Creek State Park
After visiting Tomoka State Park, you may be tempted to stay put. However, if you head just slightly north, you’ll quickly reach Bulow Creek State Park, which warrants its own visit. The park actually harbors one of the South’s largest remaining live oak trees. Dubbed the “Fairchild Oak,” the tree has seen the area through the last 400 years. Take a seat at the park’s picnic area and soak up the oak.
When to go
Brush shoulders with Ormond Beach during the shoulder months. Fall and spring are ideal for a Florida camping getaway, as summer brings bugs to the area’s forests and parks. Likewise, August is the rainiest month, so come when the weather—and the mosquitoes—won’t work against you. As if you needed another incentive, the shoulder months also see bird migrations, so you’re likely to spot some of Florida’s most interesting species.
