34mi from Winter Haven · 2 sites · Tents, Lodging
Welcome to Wildlings Farm + Folk; our lakefront farmstead retreat in Central Florida, where wide-open space, fresh air, and simple farm life create a peaceful escape—just outside everyday conveniences. Set on 3 scenic acres directly on the lake, our property offers a rare blend of nature, recreation, and accessibility, making it ideal for camping, glamping, family getaways, and nature retreats.
Wake up to blue skies, birdsong, and grazing goats, then spend the day paddleboarding, kayaking, or fishing from the lake. As the sun sets, enjoy cotton-candy skies, crackling firepit evenings, and starry nights that feel far from the hustle—yet you’re only minutes from Publix, Target, restaurants, and the Florida Turnpike, and about 30 minutes from Walt Disney World.
The land features fenced pastures, a rustic barn, and open grassy areas where kids can roam, climb trees, swing, or relax in hammocks. Our friendly goats and ducks are part of daily farm life and add to the charm and connection many guests seek when escaping the city. Portions of the property are thoughtfully maintained, while other areas are intentionally left natural for preservation, wildlife, and exploration.
This is a place to slow down—whether you’re sipping coffee by the water, watching animals wander at golden hour, or enjoying quiet moments surrounded by trees and lake views. While we do live on the property, guests have designated areas to explore and enjoy, and we’re always respectful of your space.
Perfect for those seeking a nature escape near Disney, a lakefront camping experience, or a family-friendly farm stay that balances adventure, relaxation, and convenience.

I can’t recommend Gulf Wind and Dona’s sanctuary enough! My son and I had planned a weekend camping outing originally scheduled at another location. We quickly realized the other location was not anywhere near what had been advertised and so I quickly contacted Dona to see if she had some last minute availability on her property. Dona was wonderfully responsive and super accommodating and so we headed over to hers as soon as possible.
Our experience at Gulf Wind was beyond what we could have expected! The cabin was perfect, it was outfitted with everything we needed, and Dona also went the extra mile to bring us a firepit so we could make dinner and s’mores over the fire.
Dona gave us a tour of the sanctuary and took the time to educate us on the animals and their efforts to keep them safe and healthy. My son was so thrilled to interact with these special animals and to get to know their personalities and preferences.
We will absolutely be back. Diego’s cabin was the perfect size for us. Next time we come (and there will be a next time!) we will try the larger Florida Breeze cabin with more of our family to change things up!
Thank you, Dona and family, for being so welcoming and accommodating. You seriously enriched my son’s experience and we appreciate what you’re doing for these amazing animals.

Wow!! This was our last stop on a Florida roadtrip and I’m so glad we finished it off with this place. The cabin was clean, bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. Most importantly though, we had a tour done with Dona and got to meet all the animals! One of the highlights of our whole trip.

Weekend Trip to By the Pond...
We loved our stay in the camper! The site is located on a farm which was really neat and we were able to see baby chickens and pet pigs! We stayed in a non-fruiting season (just missed starfruit) so we weren't able to get fruit but if you're lucky enough to stay when the trees are fruitful the owner was so kind to share! We slept soundly and accessed the farm by opening and closing the gates at the entrance was easy! There are so many fun things nearby, and not too far from downtown Tampa. Definitely would stay again!

I had a wonderful stay at Diego's Cabin! The experience was truly special, and I can't recommend it enough. Dona and her family were fabulous hosts – warm, welcoming, and so thoughtful. The Gulfwinds Animal Sanctuary is an absolute gem! We loved the sanctuary tour, and the chance to connect with the animals was incredible. The dark sky and farm environment made for such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. Whether you're looking to unwind or enjoy nature, this is the perfect spot. I'll definitely be back!

We enjoyed our time at the Gray Wolf Camper! The property has lots of space to walk and enjoy nature, and the hosts were friendly and welcoming. My son especially enjoyed spending time with the two cats, seeing the rooster and guinea hens, picking a star fruit, checking out the pond, and feeding the adorable piglets.

My son and his girlfriend are only 18. They can not check into a hotel until 21. We found By the Pond and it was perfect. My son who is an Eagle Scout was glad he didn't have to stay in a tent as cold as it was.
Communication was great met my son at site to show him around.
Thank you for keeping them safe! Definitely recommend staying here!

This place was more than perfect! A great location for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabin had everything I needed, the bed was super comfy, and the bonfire was wonderful way to end the night. In the morning the nature surrounding the cabin was serene, perfect for enjoying with a cup of coffee.
