Escape to old Florida. Come enjoy your very secluded glamping tent at Gamble Creek Ranch. Your only neighbors will be the cows and wildlife. It is a perfect spot for a romantic weekend getaway or used as a base camp to explore the nearby state parks, farms and small towns.
Set back in a secluded part of the ranch overlooking your own private pond. Enjoy relaxing on the front deck watching the birds, deer, turkeys and more on the feed plot or kick back around the fire sharing stories of the day’s events.
Upon entering the gate you’ll drive through the pasture past our small herd of cows to a rear gate to enter the private area back in the woods of old Florida.
Cozy up in the comforts of the tent. The tent is richly appointed with a king size bed, chairs, fan, nightstands, power strip for charging, games (outside there is cornhole as well), cards and a cooler, (bring your own ice or there is an extra fee for ice prior to your arrival). On the deck you’ll find more chairs a small propane grill and beyond that is a fire pit and picnic table.
The tent can accommodate 2 adults and 2 or 3 children, (air mattresses are available upon request for an extra $10/night each). If you have more guests there is a grassy area available for bringing your own tent ($40).
Dogs are welcome, but for the safety of your pet and the cows please keep them on a leash.
Please keep a safe distance from the cows. We welcome you to take pictures and observe the herd, but these are livestock and not pets, so we want to keep you and them comfortable and safe.
Speaking of cows...since you will be driving through the pasture to get to the camp you might run over a cow pie or 2. These are organic raised cows so the cow pies are all natural!
When you are coming and going, PLEASE remember to close the gates behind you to keep the cows from wandering off. You know what they say, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence but they have plenty of green grass here.

We loved the Glamping tent on Brian's land!!! The place is incredibly peaceful and quiet. Only owls at night and deers in the morning! Everything was very well organized: new and clean Eco-space, fully equipped with resourceful tools and very comfortable bed. Brian was always available and very kind with his indications. We are looking forward to come back!!
The tent was awesome. Brian met us at the tent upon check in and explained everything in detail. The tent is spacious and Brian provides you with so many essentials such as a coffee pot, cutting board knife a small fan and so much more. He’s very thoughtful with the things he provides. I stayed with my husband and two children and we slept wonderfully. He even allowed us to use some air beds he had. The cows were so cute it was literally just us and the field full of cows. It was cool how close we could see the cows ( of course with the safety of the gate between us and the cows).The whole trip was so peaceful and we truly enjoyed the fire pit and cooking outdoors on fathers day!! Thank you brian for the wonderful stay…10/10 would recommend.
Thanks Amy! Glad you all had a great Father's Day at Gamble!
What a beautiful space. I arrived with my husband and three children to a well appointed campsite. My kids had the best time exploring and observing the livestock. I would highly recommend and also return! Brian was responsive and super kind. Great weekend getaway for a staycation.
Thanks Nilofer glad you all had a good time!
Staying at Brian Glamping was a truly unique experience!
We were greeted by Brian and as he was guiding us to our tent we crossed over the green pasture along beautiful adult cows and their cute cattle. Once you cross the second gate you find the gem hidden under the green Floridian canopy . Very Lushy! You feel like you are at a Safari glamping site in Africa! I sat on the porch and my mind projected elephants , zebras and lions running along the endless green plains of the land.
Natives palm trees and other trees gives a great shade to the tent.
The pond on the front makes the place a great scenery to take great photos! We did had a very off the grid barbecue along the firepit.
The interior of the tent is very inviting and has all the basic things you usually need when camping. The bed was super comfy, i did slept like a baby, and if you are wondering about the idea of not having a/c at least during this month of may I did slept good and even had to cover myself after running the little tower fan, I would suggest to add a classic big fan if you have someone that is naturally feeling hot or for more warmer months, but even my daughter was skeptical she would pass the night but to her surprise she slept so good! If you are looking to get away from the mundane city for a weekend or weekday , this place is wonderful, a very kind host, very well set tent great shade and pretty views.
Did I mention my husky LOVED the space and had a lot of fun? :)
You wont regret!
Thanks Alex glad you all enjoyed the stay!
Wow 10/10. This location was the coolest place I have ever spent the night. From the fantastic and comfortable accommodations to the serene views of vintage Florida we enjoyed every minute of our stay.
Thanks Sean! Glad you enjoyed it.
