Good rustic setting. Small farm with lotsa goats. Probably not for very big rigs. Main house is kinda close but you should still be able to get some privacy. Owners were gone while we were there. I'd reach out early just to make sure they are home before you stay. Both spots have full power/water/sewer.

3 star. The hookups were difficult to attach at the same time. The well water was brown and smelt weird. The bathroom had lizard poop everywhere. The animals looked like they needed some love. Yet, the view of the field was beautiful. Don’t expect much for the price.

2 nights at Treehouse Cabin Retreat - Florida

Absolutely incredible stay! The Treehouse Cabin Retreat exceeded every expectation the perfect mix of comfort and nature. The cabin and treehouse are spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need, from kitchen essentials to comfy bedding. The property is peaceful, surrounded by towering trees and the soothing sounds of nature. We loved the outdoor shower under the stars, the firepit for s’mores, and the hammocks for lazy afternoons. It’s close to the Suwannee River and crystal-clear springs, which made day trips for swimming and kayaking so easy. The host was responsive, kind, and made everything simple from start to finish. If you’re looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy a unique glamping experience this place is pure magic. We’re already planning to come back!

Weekend Trip to Collins Farm

We really enjoyed our weekend camping at Collins Farm. Having the field of goats, sheep, pigs, and a horse added a nice atmosphere. Except for the roosters, it’s very quiet. The site was level with full hookups, all in great working order. There was even an extra length of sewer hose provided in case you needed an extension. There is Wi-Fi, but it’s a pretty weak signal so don’t plan on streaming video, but we could get some connectivity. The location is very close to Micanopy which has a quaint little downtown with some antique shops and restaurants. Old Florida Cafe was a favorite. And it’s only 20 mins to Gainesville, so convenient for events at UF. We highly recommend Collins Farm and will be back.

Golden hour at the barn—peaceful animals, rustling trees, and the charm of rural life in full view.

My stay at Collins Farm was unforgettable. The property itself is stunning—peaceful open pastures, friendly animals, and a serene campsite right in the heart of the farm. But what truly made the experience special was the host, Jason. During a surprise power outage and torrential downpour, Jason went above and beyond by lending us a generator and personally setting it up in the rain. He was incredibly polite, professional, and responsive the entire time. Jason also took the time to answer all my questions about the animals and how they’re cared for, which made the visit even more enriching. Every animal—from the goats to the pigs, roosters, and turkeys—was gentle, well-cared for, and a joy to interact with. This is the perfect place to unplug, relax, and reconnect with nature. I highly recommend Collins Farm and will definitely be returning. Thank you, Jason!

We enjoyed our relaxing stay at Collin’s Farm. It was a nice change of pace from our previous Hipcamp sites. We met Jason upon arriving, and he made sure we were squared away on our site. We were disappointed that we didn’t get to meet Erica. The farm animals were fun to watch, and our 11 year old cattledog was fascinated with them as well.
