At 3G-Camping Retreat, we combine the tranquility of nature with modern amenities and endless activities. Privately set within the therapeutic and research-based Green Grass Grove hobby farm. Whether you’re here for foraging the wilderness, traditional camping, primitive camping, luxury glamping, themed camping adventures, or the groundbreaking mycological research we support, there’s something for everyone!
What’s New:
Due to the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia, we’ve had to make some adjustments. But in the spirit of resilience and creativity, we’ve risen stronger. Our Campers now have the freedom to choose from one of our 8+ uniquely themed campground locations on a first-come, first-serve basis. Our 3D-printing technology is breathing new life into our woodland decorations and amenities. Our 3D-Printing initiative (courtesy of 3G-Prints) is rebuilding and expanding our woodland decorations. From whimsical fairy gardens to the newly designed Tree of Famous Faces, our campground is being transformed, one print at a time.
As part of our renewed focus, we’ve teamed up with the 🍄 Mushroom Network to establish a robust mushroom genetics database. This work aids in the preservation and expansion of the field of mycology. Upon entering the Retreat, you’ll find a special area covered in high-quality landscaping fabric, dedicated to the cultivation of various gourmet mushrooms. Some are even U-Pick, offering a unique hands-on mycology experience.
Your Affordable Option for Suwannee Music Park Events:
Are you attending an event at Suwannee Music Park, like the renowned Hulaween? Look no further for your camping needs. We’re the closest Hip-Camp site to the Music Park and offer a range of affordable options to make your stay comfortable and convenient.
Looking for a unique camping experience nestled cozily in the North Florida woods near Suwannee River State Park and/or the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park? Escape to 3G-Camping Retreat, the ultimate exclusive camping experience nestled in the heavily wood portions of our 5.01+ acre therapeutic and research-based hobby farm known as Green Grass Grove! Whether you’re looking for a traditional camping experience, primitive camping, luxury glamping, or a themed camping adventure, we have something for everyone. Immerse yourself in nature with stunning views of wildlife and foliage, and take in the breathtaking constellations at night from the privacy of your own campsite.
Less than 3-minutes away from Suwannee River State Park, there is access to a wide range of outdoor activities such as spring diving, bird watching, boating, canoeing, fishing, geocaching, hiking, kayaking, picnicking, and wildlife viewing. Plus, with multiple natural springs and parks nearby, you’ll have endless opportunities to swim, hike, and explore. Take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Falmouth Spring and Suwannee Spring, or explore the trails at Ellaville Spring, home to an abundance of wildlife including all sorts of birds, whitetail deer, bats, and tortoise. With over a dozen more springs and parks located within a 30-minute radius of our campground, you’ll have endless opportunities to discover (or should we say rediscover) the natural wonders of the beautiful SUWANNEE COUNTY.
Experience the ultimate convenience with our Outdoor WiFi, well water, exclusive access to our online Canteen Shop, and camp gear/equipment rentals.

Such a fantastic place! The privacy was amazing, and our dog absolutely loved having so much space to run around for hours. Tony was incredibly kind and hospitable. The fruit trees were such a cool bonus—we even picked a few. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be back!

Anna is an exceptional host, and this stay was something truly special. From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond, even leading me to the perfectly level spot on her ATV, which made setup stress free and welcoming.
I had easy access to water and 30-amp power, and everything worked exactly as needed. Anna is incredibly accommodating and clearly cares deeply about the experience she provides.
Although I stayed during the winter, the magic of this place was absolutely still present. There’s a calm, grounded feeling here that’s hard to put into words…the kind that makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper.
Her dogs are so well behaved, and her sweet old boy completely won me over. He even graciously tolerated my very opinionated (and slightly bossy) chihuahua. He is a true gentle giant.
And the horses and ponies… there really aren’t words. Their beauty, presence, and spirit are something you simply have to see in person to understand. It’s clear how much love and care goes into them.
Anna has created something truly special here, and it shows in every detail. She’s worked incredibly hard for what she’s built, and it’s an honor to experience a place shared with so much heart. I’m so grateful for this stay and would absolutely return.

We absolutely love camping at Tony's place, we stayed an extra day as well! A must visit location! This was our second time at The Fruit Factory and we loved it even more than the first time. Very tranquil environment, our 4 German Shepherds loved running through the orchards and playing in the pond. We loved sitting by the fire at night. We went to Thomasville at Tony's invitation for First Friday's... a local outdoor event with live music, restaurants, food trucks and a great time! So much fun had this past week! Will definitely be back!

Anna was very kind. The property was cute with several different animals to see. It was not a well groomed property like you see at the state and national parks, but that is part of the cozy ranch style camping. Hook ups were very easy to access.

What a great place! It’s like a little paradise tucked away. Level parking space, access to the water, paddle boards, hangout spot, fire pit. Absolutely the description matched the spot 100%. Darrin was also quick to come get us when there was an amazing sunset happening over the lake!

Happened to stumble upon this gem last minute while looking for a private location for our dogs on the last day of our trip back home. Was going to be a quick sleep and head out, in the morning before we left Tony offered that we could pick what was left of some of the fruit going out of season, we agreed and he ended up going above and beyond. Showed us his cars, took us around showing us the farms near the property, which I thought was SO COOL! Ended up being the highlight of our trip!

We absolutely LOVED our time at The Fruit Factory and can't wait to go back! Tony welcomed us with a text and said to let him know if we needed anything and if we'd like a tour since we wanted to pick blueberries. He has a wealth of knowledge about the area and we talked for a couple hours! It was like meeting a friend we hadn't seen in years! Our site was away from other areas of the property and truly felt private. We have 4 German Shepherds who loved the wide open spaces and the pond as well. So quiet and relaxing. Tony's antique cars were an added thrill, as he gave us a ride, so much fun! Blueberries were so flavorful, and didn't taste commercially grown. Our rig is a 42' 5th wheel that had ample room, hookups were easily accessible and the site was clean. Nearby towns within 20-25 minutes, but we loved staying on site!
