Weekend Trip to Wooded areas in a horse pasture

It was lovely! Near downtown st augustine which was perfect for us, loved that our dog was allowed off leash as he stays close anyway, got to feed the horses in the morning - shower was hot and felt safe and had enough privacy!

2 nights at Wooded areas in a horse pasture

Stayed here for two nights with my wife, 2 kids and our dog. Host was very nice and was helpful in helping us find the campground as we went in through the first gate lol others have made the same mistake, keep going down the road there’s another gate at the next left. The campground was nice, my kids enjoyed seeing the the horses and chickens. The porta potty was as clean as a porta potty can get, was nice to have available. There is a shower, although we personally didn’t use it. It is attached to the back of what seemed like where someone was living? So kinda threw us a little to see personal items in the shower like shower gel and razors. The kids did play in the playground and trampoline which was nice, they showed their age but was functional. We used the existing fire pit to build a fire both nights, make sure to bring your own wood, I did see some there but wasn’t sure if it was available to all and it was covered in carpenter ants. The ONLY thing that I think would prevent me from staying here again was the noise at night. There is a train that blares its horn all night, I read it in previous reviews but figured people were exaggerating. They were not. It is ALL NIGHT LONG and is loud, it kept us up both nights. We were considering leaving after the first night. There is a little bit of road noise that can be heard as well but that wasn’t such a big deal. All in all, good experience but be forewarned.

2 nights at La Quinta Bonita Homestead

Kelley & Vic were very hospitable to us; we enjoyed the tour of their property, as well as the homemade bread and eggs we were able to purchase from their homestead. They also had great recommendations for us regarding nearby outdoor recreation areas. We thoroughly enjoyed Ravine Gardens State Park and visiting Angels Diner in Palatka. We comfortably fit two adults in the camper, and we’re grateful that the other adult who came with us had an in-car camping set up. It would have been very, very tight had all three of us needed to fit in the camper. We’d recommended no more than two for the camper. Camper did have a neat cooler/fridge inside that was spacious! The outdoor shower was amazing - all three of us absolutely loved it! And the fact that warm water was accessible was a win. The water got up to about 88 degrees or so. The compostable toilet was inside a small tent and cleaned daily. It felt slightly on display just with how close it was to the fire pit, but was convenient and easy to access. The fire pit was the perfect size, and tons of wood was supplied ($10/night). Our favorite part was hanging out around the fire pit during the evenings under the stars. TONS of stars, and beautiful wind blowing through the trees. Lots of fun animal sounds too! If you plan to cook over the fire, be sure to bring your own tools and equipment. All in all, great experience! We’d go again and are looking forward to seeing how Kelley and Vic continue to grow their homestead!

4 nights at Old Florida Wooded Site Near Town

I loved camping with the chickens and turkeys. Low hanging branches need to go

2 nights at Celestial Acres

We absolutely loved parking our 30ft RV at Jen’s MOON site. Communication was perfection the whole time and Jen was so accomodating when we needed to amend our dates. Jen gave us great tips on visiting St Augustine with an RV, a short drive away and welcomed my children into her yard where they played on the playground and with all the lovely farm animals (pigs, a horse, dogs and cats). If we are ever in this part of the world again (from Australia) we would love to return.

2 nights at Celestial Acres

Love this spot, very welcoming host. Close enough and far enough away from St Augustine. Highly recommend!

1 night at Wooded areas in a horse pasture

I actually did not make it to this site, but the host was very accommodating when messaging back-and-forth. It looks amazing in the pictures and has lots of good reviews so the next time I’m in the area I will try it out for sure.

7 nights at 100% Dad Headquarters

This space is perfect for meeting kind travelers and a great host. I mentioned a tiny discrepancy and Townsend was there the next day doing everything he could to remedy that; which he did. Level ground, water, and electric! If you have a tall rig watch out for the low hanging trees, I learned the hard way so you don’t have to. Very close to a supermarket, a beautiful pond and even a small skatepark that I really enjoyed. There is also a cool looking library walking distance from the site. It was closed when I went by but boy was I excited just to see a library right there! As someone who doesn’t use WiFi or much data, books are my go-to.

2 nights at Wooded areas in a horse pasture

Gayle’s property was wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Gayle and all the animals were super friendly and welcoming. The location is amazing, close to all St Augustine has to offer. There were others camping in the area but it still felt very spacious and private. The outdoor shower is amazing! The toilet is port-o-potty but it was super clean and sanitary. There is drinking water but you might want to bring your own if you don’t want to carry it far. I would definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Country Charm Ranch (near St. Aug)

What a fun experience! We woke up with the sound of happy animals and were able to interact with a group of farm animals. The place is close to St. Augustine, but far enough away to offer beautiful stargazing at night.

Weekend Trip to Wooded areas in a horse pasture

This is a great site for boondocking near Saint Augustine. Quiet but close to where you want to be. We rode our bikes from the campground into the city and roamed every place we wanted to see. No real frills to speak of but the description is accurate and we were quite pleased with our stay. Lots of space for various folks to camp along a tree line. There were 3 other campers when we visited but we had plenty of room and peace.

Weekend Trip to Wooded areas in a horse pasture

We enjoyed our short stay at this site. The pasture was flat and well maintained and made for easy van camping. The shower had hot water and the location was quiet yet a short drive to historic St. Augustine. We will be back in the future.

3 nights at Wooded areas in a horse pasture

We had a lovely time at Gayle’s! The pasture is spacious and makes for easy set up. We loved the playground, including the trampoline, and the outdoor shower was peaceful. The horses and chickens were a fun bonus! Gayle is so kind and welcoming. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

You select the space you where you wish to set up camp. The entrance off the dirt road is tricky for large rigs or trailers more than 35' may not have easy access. Our sites offer potable water, a shower, picnic tables, a toilet, wifi, trash disposal, space for campfires, and we are pet friendly! We can accommodate tents, RVs, and trailers. Our guests love staying here: "Camping at Gayle’s property was an amazing experience. We shared the field with 3 other campers but there was still plenty of room between sites. Land is flat and has fire pit spaces and BBQ grills. Outdoor shower was appreciated even though we didn’t use it & it was great to have the port-o-potty on site. The best part was getting to see the animals!"

Celestial Acres

6 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Hastings, FL

Welcome to our little homestead. Nestled amidst the serene countryside, this quaint campground offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounded by lush farms and sprawling horse pastures, the air is filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers and the gentle rustle of leaves. With only a handful of RV spots and a few cozy tents scattered among the trees, guests can truly reconnect with nature while roasting marshmallows over crackling campfires under a blanket of stars. Here, the pace slows down, allowing visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the simple pleasures of rural life. We just finished (well 2 years ago) traveling the country in an RV with five of our 7 kids (oldest two were in college) and we had a terrible time finding places to stay in Saint Augustine when we came home to visit. I hope that we can offer some nice people a safe and beautiful place to park their rig. Things to do: The property is near the historic St. Augustine, a fun walkable/bikeable city, lots of state parks and of course an awesome beach! Other things to note: 6 Miles away is 4 Lakes Campground with dumping facilities
