The creek flows into Lake Ocklawaha which just so happens to be one of the best bass fishing lakes in the USA. In fact, ten-pound bass are not uncommon from the Lake Ocklawaha River in the winter. Recently (2020), a 17.2-pound bass was caught there. The combined Ocklawaha and St. Johns drainage basin is possibly the most significant river-estuary waterway of Florida. This water system is of legendary reputation among anglers of largemouth bass who seek 10 pound plus trophy fish.

It appears to be ‘off the beaten path’, yet it is close enough to civilization so that even the most seasoned camper can make a quick run to store should he or she need something not found in nature.

Ocala, the ‘horse capital of the world’ showcases a brand new multi-billion-dollar equestrian center which draws people from all over the world. This scenic property has an artesian spring which pushes out 1.6 million gallons of water per day rated among the top three percent of water in the world with an 8.4 natural pH. This water fills the pond and then continues on to flow into Orange Creek. Camp Seminole Springs was established in the 1940’s as a honeymoon resort and campground. The founders built a heart-shaped ‘pond-spring’ which is filled with the crystal-clear water pushed out from the spring where guests can lounge by the beach or gaze down into the bottom through the glass-like water or take a refreshing swim. At the top of the hill overlooking the heart-shaped spring, one will find the rustic Great Lodge where guests can come and mingle with each other, enjoy a relaxing conversation and a drink on the veranda or just sit and watch the activity in and around the spring.

Fort White, FL · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
The farm you’re camping on is one of the last family farms remaining in Columbia County and is named Glenn Farm after DV Glenn who married Hettie Lou Niblack in the 1930’s. Over the last 150 years it has been farmed by some of the county’s oldest families such as the Niblack and Ellis families. When DV Glenn came to Florida from his farm in Cairo, GA he took over the portion of the Niblack farm that was inherited by his wife Hettie Lou. At that time he was running native Florida cattle on over 6000 acres. Unfortunately, In 1951 he was killed in a hunting accident leaving his wife with the farm and 4 children (ages 4-11). In order to survive, Hettie Lou Niblack Glenn was forced to sell 5000 acres at $25 an acre. Holding a bachelors degree from Florida State College for Women, she was able to secure a job at the University of Florida as a secretary and with the money from the land sale she was able to raise her four children. Of the original farm, 600 acres remain intact and the Glenn family is trying to keep the farm as an agricultural operation. Your campsite is 1 of 4 spots (Arrowhead Sink, Dunagan’s Meadow, North Hall Pasture or Magnolia Sink). We also have a 1 bedroom Tiny home that used to be the farm office. Dunagan’s meadow is a pasture behind the old farmhouse (built in 1824), Magnolia sink and The North Hall Pasture are also on the main farm while Arrowhead Sink is on the edge of a hayfield about a mile down a dirt road. Glenn Farm is a place to come relax and experience a world that is rapidly disappearing. It is not a commercial campground.

Osceola National Forest is 200,000 acres of exploration with your name on it! In the northeastern Floridian forest, pine flatwoods and cypress-hardwood swamps surround, with diverse wildlife abound. In this leafy paradise lives gopher tortoises (they act like gophers, but are tortoises!), alligators, black bears, and the skunk ape, also known as the “stink ape,” which bears an uncanny resemblance to bigfoot. Areas of recreation include Ocean Pond--a fave place for boaters, skiiers, and campers, and Olustee Beach for swimming, fishing, and picnicking. The park is also open to hunters and fishermen with permits. With so much land to explore in this National Forest, we wouldn’t be surprised if bigfoot was hiding in there!

🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, Y’all Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property tucked along Georgia’s southernmost tip, right on the FL–GA line. Set along a quiet bend of the St. Marys River and backed by 150+ acres of protected Florida land, Blackwater offers real privacy, open space, and true “Old Florida” country vibes. 🌊 The River: Fed by the Okefenokee Swamp, the water carries natural tannins from peat, giving it that deep black look in the depths and a golden “sweet tea” color in the shallows. ✔️ Clean, refreshing water—perfect for swimming ✔️ Soft white sandy bottom (no mud, no rocks) ✔️ Naturally filtered water with antibacterial properties Swim between two states at once; the middle of the river is the state line! 🏝️ History Beneath Your Feet: Blackwater sits on Trail Ridge, a prehistoric coastal dune formed over a million years ago, once the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, that elevated sand ridge meets the river, creating a rare natural swimming area and a private white sugar-sandbar beach along the river. 🏕️ Perfect For: • Family camping • Small & large groups • Private celebrations • Weddings • Family reunions • Overlanding & vanlife At the heart of the property to rent is a 70-ft covered riverfront pavilion with power and water hookups, a custom private fire pit w/ river views, grills, a place to cook, relax, play yard games, and gather in the shade with the river in view. 🏞️ The Experience: 🛶 Kayaking & paddling 🏊 Swimming 🔥 Firepits & grills 🎣 Fishing 🚗 Easy drive-in access 🌌 Stargazing 🥾 Trails & light exploring 🐦 Birdwatching 🐕 Dog-friendly (FREE) 📶 Limited cell service (a chance to unplug) 🧭 Nearby: 📍 Minutes from St. Marys Shoals Park 📍 Close to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge This is real Southern country—not a resort. You may hear distant road noise, dogs, coyotes, roosters, wild turkeys, and the occasional far-off hunter. Because this is private land, not a public campground, availability is limited, and weekends fill fast. Want even more privacy? If you want it quieter and even more private, booking a weekday campsite is your best bet. Also, we allow entire property bookings so it’s just your group.

Tallahassee, FL · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Goat House Farm is a 501(c)3 owned micro-farm in a rural area of Tallahassee on the beautiful Lake Talquin. The farm has its humble beginnings in the summer of 2015 with four acres, four goats, and four chickens. Founded on the love of animals and a passion for sustainability, we remain committed to compassionate practices and the most natural care of our land and animals as possible. As stewards of the land and herd, we believe we have a responsibility to share nature's blessings. We offer several agritourism opportunities on the farm, from farmstays to day visits. Our primary program is to serve area youth with agricultural education and the opportunities to work with our goats. All proceeds from bookings go toward our programming. Please note that February and March is transition time on the farm when we are planting new pastures and working on projects so photos might be different during those 2 months! It is our goal to create a space where our visitors can have fun and learn about the animals who share that space. We also strive to serve as a valuable resource for first time goat owners. To support that endeavor, we sell specialty cottage goods and natural goat milk products. We also sell raw goat milk (for pet consumption only, as per Florida law - Master Feed License #ZOO406).

Your campsite is 1 of 4 spots (Arrowhead Sink, Dunagan’s Meadow, North Hall Pasture or Magnolia Sink). We also have a 1 bedroom Tiny home that used to be the farm office. Dunagan’s meadow is a pasture behind the old farmhouse (built in 1824), Magnolia sink and The North Hall Pasture are also on the main farm while Arrowhead Sink is on the edge of a hayfield about a mile down a dirt road. Glenn Farm is a place to come relax and experience a world that is rapidly disappearing. It is not a commercial campground.

Osceola National Forest is 200,000 acres of exploration with your name on it! In the northeastern Floridian forest, pine flatwoods and cypress-hardwood swamps surround, with diverse wildlife abound. In this leafy paradise lives gopher tortoises (they act like gophers, but are tortoises!), alligators, black bears, and the skunk ape, also known as the “stink ape,” which bears an uncanny resemblance to bigfoot. Areas of recreation include Ocean Pond--a fave place for boaters, skiiers, and campers, and Olustee Beach for swimming, fishing, and picnicking. The park is also open to hunters and fishermen with permits. With so much land to explore in this National Forest, we wouldn’t be surprised if bigfoot was hiding in there!

🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, Y’all Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property tucked along Georgia’s southernmost tip, right on the FL–GA line. Set along a quiet bend of the St. Marys River and backed by 150+ acres of protected Florida land, Blackwater offers real privacy, open space, and true “Old Florida” country vibes. 🌊 The River: Fed by the Okefenokee Swamp, the water carries natural tannins from peat, giving it that deep black look in the depths and a golden “sweet tea” color in the shallows. ✔️ Clean, refreshing water—perfect for swimming ✔️ Soft white sandy bottom (no mud, no rocks) ✔️ Naturally filtered water with antibacterial properties Swim between two states at once; the middle of the river is the state line! 🏝️ History Beneath Your Feet: Blackwater sits on Trail Ridge, a prehistoric coastal dune formed over a million years ago, once the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, that elevated sand ridge meets the river, creating a rare natural swimming area and a private white sugar-sandbar beach along the river. 🏕️ Perfect For: • Family camping • Small & large groups • Private celebrations • Weddings • Family reunions • Overlanding & vanlife At the heart of the property to rent is a 70-ft covered riverfront pavilion with power and water hookups, a custom private fire pit w/ river views, grills, a place to cook, relax, play yard games, and gather in the shade with the river in view. 🏞️ The Experience: 🛶 Kayaking & paddling 🏊 Swimming 🔥 Firepits & grills 🎣 Fishing 🚗 Easy drive-in access 🌌 Stargazing 🥾 Trails & light exploring 🐦 Birdwatching 🐕 Dog-friendly (FREE) 📶 Limited cell service (a chance to unplug) 🧭 Nearby: 📍 Minutes from St. Marys Shoals Park 📍 Close to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge This is real Southern country—not a resort. You may hear distant road noise, dogs, coyotes, roosters, wild turkeys, and the occasional far-off hunter. Because this is private land, not a public campground, availability is limited, and weekends fill fast. Want even more privacy? If you want it quieter and even more private, booking a weekday campsite is your best bet. Also, we allow entire property bookings so it’s just your group.

Tallahassee, FL · 5 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Goat House Farm is a 501(c)3 owned micro-farm in a rural area of Tallahassee on the beautiful Lake Talquin. The farm has its humble beginnings in the summer of 2015 with four acres, four goats, and four chickens. Founded on the love of animals and a passion for sustainability, we remain committed to compassionate practices and the most natural care of our land and animals as possible. As stewards of the land and herd, we believe we have a responsibility to share nature's blessings. We offer several agritourism opportunities on the farm, from farmstays to day visits. Our primary program is to serve area youth with agricultural education and the opportunities to work with our goats. All proceeds from bookings go toward our programming. Please note that February and March is transition time on the farm when we are planting new pastures and working on projects so photos might be different during those 2 months! It is our goal to create a space where our visitors can have fun and learn about the animals who share that space. We also strive to serve as a valuable resource for first time goat owners. To support that endeavor, we sell specialty cottage goods and natural goat milk products. We also sell raw goat milk (for pet consumption only, as per Florida law - Master Feed License #ZOO406).

Welcome to a sweet and soulful little piece of the woodlands. Tucked in on 4.5 acres, this spot is a secluded, enchanting piece of old Florida. Stay in one of our three designated camping sites, tie up a hammock, gaze at the pond inhabitants****, and check out what's growing in the seasonal garden. Also enjoy the many flowering plants and other special trees. Florida's gem-colored, healing spring waters are just a 20 minutes up the way and local retreat centers and yoga studios dot the area. Gator fans? Head into Gainesville for a game and to visit the University of Florida. Mostly, enjoy. We look forward to hosting you! To note for all guests: We suggest arriving before dark so as to make set up easy and comfortable. We do not require a formal check-in and encourage being self-reliable in set up of primitive campsites. (For something with more structure and a space already set up, check out our Aframe cabin.) We do have water, a composting toilet, sink, and groundtemp shower for your use. *****Due to severe drought this year, we have lost the pond. We are still open for camping, but please note the pond is not as pictured. Thanks for your understanding during this tough time for our water table.******
