Welcome to Smokey Acres! This property has been in my family for decades. My Husband and I were married under the oaks and have had our share of campfires out there. Down a hidden gravel drive with wetlands on either side you will find a completely fenced in field surrounded by pine, oak, and swamp maple trees. There are two ponds located on the property both stocked with bass, bluegill, and sunfish. The front pond is home to many natural Florida wildlife and is a great location to bird watch. Located a few miles from Brooksville and the Suncoast Parkway, this quiet and peaceful setting is just 5 minutes from the parking area and trailhead for the Suncoast Trail and 10 miles from the famous Weeki Wachee Springs, where you can spend the day at the local park or float down the river with the manatees. Withlacoochee State Park and other natural preserves with trail access and kayaking are only a short distance away, and Dames Cave, Homosassa Springs, and Chasawiska Springs are all within a ~20-minute drive as well. Spending a day at the beach is easy with plenty of options along the Nature Coast. We’re also less than an hour from Tampa and Clearwater and two hours from Orlando. A perfect weekend get-away for anyone looking to “unplug,” Smokey Acres is also a great stop for those passing through the area. We are a close distance to many racing, livestock, boating and fishing events. We have no problem accommodating whatever you’re towing! Whether you'd like a leisurely day on the river or an adventure in the Gulf, there are plenty of boating options nearby. Be sure to make it back to the property in time to enjoy amazing sunsets that bring peace and tranquility to your experience. Our neighbors, JG Ranch, offers U- Pick Fruit and Vegetables or a great selection of local harvest at their roadside stand. This 10-acre property has been in my family for decades. My Husband and I were married under the oaks and have had our share of campfires together out there. I've recently moved back home with my own family and as much as we enjoy the land for ourselves we'd love to share it. Any profit from hosting campers will help us maintain our sustainable farm that we're hoping to expand onto Smokey Acres. Just in! Our dirt road has been repaved. So no worries about a bumpy drive in!

Weekend Trip to Glamping @ Lake Louisa

Lake Louisa is beautiful!!!! The tent was organized and clean, they also have a small charcoal grill that isn’t saying on the list. The bed was comfortable. It is close to the lake and also the bathrooms the bathroom was clean and organized. The air conditioner worked well at night but for those who are allergic to smells it can be difficult but nothing that an antiallergic next day don’t solve the problem lol. I love my experience and I am for sure going back next year.

Weekend Trip to Glamping @ Lake Louisa

The tents were clean and the site was beautiful! We camped with a group of friends and the only negative we experienced was the layout differed from our expectations. On the app the carefree tents and eco tents seem to be in a horseshoe and we expected we’d be in a field with our fellow campers, however the carefree luxury tents were actually a quarter mile down the road by the family and RV camping area. We made it work but just something to note if you’re going with a group. Overall awesome experience though!

Absolutely magical. We are both from Maryland. Lake Louisa offers a little bit of northern looking land. The glamping site was so clean i felt like it was a hotel. The cleanliness of everything, bathrooms, trails etc.

Where to go

Spring Hill Vicinity

In addition to mermaid shows, Weeki Wachee State Park has Buccaneer Bay, an aquatic park with water slides that plop you straight into the spring’s warm, crystal-clear waters. Buccaneer Bay has a kid-friendly swimming area and a natural lazy river as well. Weeki Wachee State Park also has kayak rentals and a return shuttle for paddles down the Weeki Wachee River. For a Gulf Coast beach close to Spring Hill with great sunsets, we recommend Alfred McKethan Pine Island Park, about 20 minutes west of downtown.

Chassahowitzka River

At the Chassahowitzka River just north of Spring Hill you can kayak or canoe on a beautiful spring-fed waterway that manatee, river otter, alligators, and wading birds call home. Boat rentals are available near the Seven Sisters Spring.

Crystal River

About 45 minutes north of Spring Hill, the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is a sprawling springs site on Kings Bay that includes one of the only locations in Florida where swimming and snorkeling with manatees is permitted. Three Sisters Spring is also here.

Hillsborough River State Park

For a different type of river adventure in this region, check out the Hillsborough River State Park. An hour south of Spring Hill in the Tampa Bay Area, Hillsborough River State Park features Class II rapids and both hiking and biking trails. The park’s campground offers tent and RV camping options with restrooms, showers, a dump station, picnic tables, and fire rings.

When to go

You can camp in Spring Hill year round, but the summers run hot and muggy with higher precipitation. Summer visitors may be happier in an RV or lodging with air-conditioning instead of tent camping. Summer and fall are also hurricane season on Florida’s Gulf Coast, when campers must monitor weather and storm warnings. The winters are excellent here, but make sure to book well in advance during this popular season.
