All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

We are just a small 12 acre property working towards being a self-sustaining homestead. We have power and water at the barn where you can park your travel trailer or larger RV. While you're here we're very happy to share our lovely farm animals with you. Never held a chicken before? You can here! Want to pet a goat or hold a goat kid? We're happy to let you do so. I'm not sure the ducks or geese will let you hold or pet them, but you can certainly watch them swim and quack throughout the day. Want to sit on the dock of the bay? Well, we don't have a bay, but we do have a pond with a dock where you can do some fishing or just enjoy the feel of the sun on your face and the sounds of the birds chirping. There's also a really nice park across the street where you can see a waterfall. Yes a waterfall in Florida. It's small but beautiful and there's some trails where you can walk around the park and enjoy all the beauty mother nature has to offer. Learn more about this land: Whether you're looking for an overnight spot or a place to camp for several days, our little spot is conveniently located less than a mile off of I10, exit 301. You'll be privately tucked into a quiet corner of our property where you have a walking trail and full access to our stocked pond for fishing or just hanging out. There's a little Columbia County Park co-managed with Suwannee River Water Management District across the street. The park has a boardwalk that takes you out to view the waterfall, picnic tables, a playground and a historic church.30amp power and water hookup. No sewer hookup.

This campsite offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere with friendly hosts and a charming array of farm animals like goats, chickens, and ducks. It's an easy place to find and perfectly suited for solo travelers, including women. The property is clean and secure, located conveniently near the interstate and amenities like a large gas station. While nature lovers will appreciate the small pond, they should be aware it's home to a small alligator, typical of Florida's wildlife.

I had a great overnight visit on the farm. Super easy to book; the hosts were very nice and easy to communicate with; the chickens, goats and ducks were friendly; and I caught a few bass in the pond. What more can you ask for? Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay! Safe for solo female travelers. Easy to locate. Host was very inviting. Waking up watching baby goats run around was the best. Thank you for having me.

Great place to overnite or stay a couple days. Fenced and gated( secure for unhooking) electric water ...small active homestead with usual livestock. Welcoming hosts. Right off I 10, near 75. Large gas station close by. Worked out great for this 71 yr old solo camper, attending grandchild softball tournament.
