Smokey Acres

18 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents10 acres ¡ Brooksville, FL
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!

Haus Boutique

4 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents4 acres ¡ Dade City, FL
"Nestled among rolling hills and shaded by sprawling oaks, Pasco County—especially the charming town of Dade City—has a rich agricultural heritage that’s as sweet as the citrus it once famously produced. Known as the “Kumquat Capital of the World,” Dade City has long embraced its identity as a small-town hub of farming pride, where kumquats—those tiny, tangy-sweet citrus gems—are celebrated every year with a beloved Kumquat Festival that draws visitors from far and wide. The county’s fertile soil and gentle climate made it ideal for a variety of crops, and in the early 20th century, families carved out homesteads and farms, growing oranges, peaches, watermelons, and vegetables. Pasco’s patchwork of farms wasn’t just about produce—it was about community. Neighbors shared harvests, recipes, and stories over fences and at farmers’ markets that felt more like reunions. Cattle ranching and dairy farming also played a vital role in the region’s economy, and many of the family-run ranches still thrive today, preserving a way of life rooted in hard work, respect for the land, and a deep connection to tradition. There’s something almost poetic about the way sunrise still paints the fields gold, just as it did a century ago, while tractors hum and roosters call out the start of another honest day’s work. Dade City, with its antique shops, front porch rockers, and wraparound verandas, has managed to keep that cozy, vintage Americana feel, while honoring the agricultural legacy that helped it grow. It’s a place where history isn't confined to museums—it's alive in the fields, the festivals, and the hearts of the people who still believe in the beauty of growing something from the earth."
