Weekend Trip to Shannon Trails bring your horses

Canopy over picnic table and an outdoor sofa made our trip so easy when the weather went ugly. There was a big grill and a lot of woods for cooking or just making fire. Bathroom was next to the camping site. Dish soap and sponge were there for us to clean our cooking utensils. Hot water shower is consistent, and good pressure.

Weekend Trip to Bowman's Landing

Weekend Trip to Bowman's Landing

Bowmans Landing was everything and more than we expected! We stayed in cabin 7. It was a short walk to the river and it wasn't a far walk to the showers/bathroom. The grounds were family friendly and beautiful! I will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Bowman's Landing

The cabin was wonderful and the location perfect. We've really loved how kind and welcoming the community has been for our family.

1 night at Caceres Organic Blueberry Farms

I loved staying here. It was very peaceful, and quiet. Great view, easy to get too. Outdoor shower was excellent. Would absolutely stay again.

4 nights at Bowman's Landing

This is my second time camping for 4 days at the primitive sites while recreating in the area. I've stayed at a handful of hip camp stites over the years in the area and bowman's landing is my favorite so far! Showers, bathrooms, fridge, wifi area really upgrades the camping experience. And I love being able to swim off the dock in the mornings and camping right on the river. I'll definitely be back again!

1 night at Secluded Wooded Campsite 🏕️

Beautiful property with a subtle chicken and Peacock chatting in the distance. Nice camp layout with a beautiful wooden picnic table, camp kitchen area, and outhouse.

1 night at Glenn Farm

Tom and Judy were the best hosts by far amazing cool people. And very beautiful land me and my bf absolutely loved it we had the whole place to ourselves and Tom took us up to the 200 year old house and gave us a little tour of it and the cave. We got to feed the cows and goats!! It was a very cool experience i definitely will go again.

1 night at Secluded Wooded Campsite 🏕️

Great place for a private night in the woods. Clean, spacious and very private. I would come again.

1 night at Caceres Organic Blueberry Farms

Richard land Is Awesome stargazing at night through the tent the little Lake was awesome the blueberries are as big as quarters highly recommend this spot

Weekend Trip to 4A River Camp

(Vague review to protect privacy.) There was an unfortunate event before we arrived. It was no one’s fault and nothing could be done to change it. Our host (Michael) communicated to us early and often. He was accommodating and polite. I also believe he was in full contact with the previous campers, as well. In the end, it was resolved smoothly and all parties were happy. I don’t think many other Hipcamp hosts would have put in that much work for something they couldn’t control and wasn’t their fault. I will absolutely return!

Weekend Trip to Glenn Farm

We stayed at Dunagan’s Meadow and had a WONDERFUL time. Tom and Judy are fantastic hosts. They make you feel like family. ❤️ We got the tour of their property and when we got to the meadow we saw them round up the cattle to put in the other pasture. The sheep were great as were the donkeys. The stars at night were beautiful! We will definitely come back. Thanks so much for an amazing long weekend trip.

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Pond and Woodlands

Such an amazing experience , I’ve heard t saying, “there’s no place like home “ this place is home away from home. My family and I enjoyed ever minute and will be returning.

Weekend Trip to Happy Campers Rescue Ranch

Arcadio was super helpful upon arriving. He helped us switch campsites with such ease to one that would be more suitable for the amount of people we had and gave a timely refund for the one we didn’t use. The land itself is great, too. There are fire pits, chairs, and tables provided in great condition. Plenty of firewood spread around. And a lot of animal noises (farm and wildlife) that made the trip feel like camping. There’s also a great swimming area like 7 minutes away Arcadia told us about.

Weekend Trip to Caceres Organic Blueberry Farms

Really enjoyed Richard's land peaceful quiet everything I was looking for me and my dog are doing a bike packing trip and this was perfect I even booked an extra day to just rest

3 nights at Moonlit Avenue

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Sharon is an amazing host for many reasons… Always responded quickly to my messages, gave great advice and options for places to explore, provided easy to follow directions, insured the campsite was clean, stocked and ready for us when we arrived and told us to message anytime if we needed anything. The site was spacious and exactly how it was described in the listing. We enjoyed sitting around the fire, star gazing, and listening to the owls at night and song birds during the day. Got to see some deer wander through the woods nearby and walked a short ways down the road to look at the farm animals in the neighbors front yard. All in all it was a great escape to enjoy nature and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Weekend Trip to Secluded Wooded Campsite 🏕️

Great place to camp! Will go again when it's much cooler outside.

Weekend Trip to Bowman's Landing

In the process of planning another trip to the little slice of heaven. Absolutely gorgeous spot, spent all day swimming in the river. The bathroom was clean, the hosts were so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I’d check in with them when you get there- we were too excited and set up, & started swimming. They offered to drop us off at the start of the river which would’ve been very cool but it was too late in the day & we made the mistake of only booking a single night. I’d also put in Bowman’s landing into the GPS and not the listed coordinates.. that will position you across the river… Excited to come back in a few weeks!!

Weekend Trip to Cabin At Little River Springs

This campsite was great and super close to Little River Springs. Although it has a port-a-let and the Little Cabin, it still had somewhat of a primitive and private feel which was nice. We would definitely come back! We do have some info and tips for future campers. * If you’re gonna have a group of people, plan for everyone to tent camp. The Little Cabin has an AC wall unit that runs off a generator that is super loud. Too loud for everyone else in tents to sleep well. We would have left it off, but the windows to the cabin are plexi-glassed, therefore no air flow. The windows do open fully, but then you’re dealing with bugs. Luckily someone in our group had an extra tent for us. * The site is right off a road which is used often and close to a cow farm, so be prepared for some noise at night outside of the normal music of nature. This only applies to tent campers as the cabin’s generator drowns out all sound. * If you bring your pups, the Little Cabin with the AC wall unit is great for them to hang out in while you go to the springs, but be sure to go back often to check on them as the plug on the generator kept tripping. Even on Low Cool, as the host suggested. * The port-a-let gets cleaned every two weeks, so bring something like kitty litter deodorizer to help with the smell. We used mosquito coils as incense lol * PLEASE take your trash with you when you leave. The campers before us did not and the flies and smell was awful. Be considerate and take your trash.

Glenn Farm

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents125 acres · Fort White, FL

The farm you’re camping on is one of the last family farms remaining in Columbia County and is named Glenn Farm after DV Glenn who married Hettie Lou Niblack in the 1930’s. Over the last 150 years it has been farmed by some of the county’s oldest families such as the Niblack and Ellis families. When DV Glenn came to Florida from his farm in Cairo, GA he took over the portion of the Niblack farm that was inherited by his wife Hettie Lou. At that time he was running native Florida cattle on over 6000 acres. Unfortunately, In 1951 he was killed in a hunting accident leaving his wife with the farm and 4 children (ages 4-11). In order to survive, Hettie Lou Niblack Glenn was forced to sell 5000 acres at $25 an acre. Holding a bachelors degree from Florida State College for Women, she was able to secure a job at the University of Florida as a secretary and with the money from the land sale she was able to raise her four children. Of the original farm, 600 acres remain intact and the Glenn family is trying to keep the farm as an agricultural operation. Your campsite is 1 of 4 spots (Arrowhead Sink, Dunagan’s Meadow, North Hall Pasture or Magnolia Sink). We also have a 1 bedroom Tiny home that used to be the farm office. Dunagan’s meadow is a pasture behind the old farmhouse (built in 1824), Magnolia sink and The North Hall Pasture are also on the main farm while Arrowhead Sink is on the edge of a hayfield about a mile down a dirt road. Glenn Farm is a place to come relax and experience a world that is rapidly disappearing. It is not a commercial campground.

Explore the ranch to locate gopher tortoise burrows (but don't get too close) and wave at all the fox squirrels. Find the northeast corner of the ranch and play volleyball with your friends (let us know if you need a ball). Stroll through the round-pen-turned-garden and check out the Datil pepper plants which we use to make our datil sauce and datil vinegar (both are for sale to guests). Finally, enjoy the starry night sky. Thanks to our rural setting we have some of the darkest skies in Florida. There is an observatory only one mile away! Wildflower Ranch is close to dozens of crystal clear natural springs and rivers, bike trails, hiking trails, state parks, and more. We are ideally located in North Central Florida, so many of your Florida outdoor bucket list adventures are within reach. The ranch is a close neighbor of Devil's Den Prehistoric Spring, the Blue Grotto, Black Prong horse riding and biking trails, Cedar Lakes Woods & Gardens and more. Wildflower Ranch offers two private primitive campsites (accommodating tents or vehicles), one private RV site, and one private cabin. Our cabin has a private bathroom, while our campsites have 24/7 access to climate-controlled full bathrooms with hot water showers, flushing toilets, and sinks.
