About the property
Down a hidden gravel drive with wetlands on either side you will find a completely fenced in field surrounded by pine, oak, and swamp maple trees. There are two ponds located on the property both stocked with bass, bluegill, and sunfish. The front pond is home to many natural Florida wildlife and is a great location to bird watch. The property is also home to several sheep and Pency the Llama.
Located a few miles from Brooksville and the Suncoast Parkway, this quiet and peaceful setting is just 5 minutes from the parking area and trailhead for the Suncoast Trail and 10 miles from the famous Weeki Wachee Springs, where you can spend the day at the local park or float down the river with the manatees.
Withlacoochee State Park and other natural preserves with trail access and kayaking are only a short distance away, and Dames Cave, Homosassa Springs, and Chasawiska Springs are all within a ~20-minute drive as well. Spending a day at the beach is easy with plenty of options along the Nature Coast. We’re also less than an hour from Tampa and Clearwater and two hours from Orlando.
A perfect weekend get-away for anyone looking to “unplug,” Smokey Acres is also a great stop for those passing through the area. We are a close distance to many racing, livestock, boating and fishing events. We have no problem accommodating whatever you’re towing!
Whether you'd like a leisurely day on the river or an adventure in the Gulf, there are plenty of boating options nearby. Be sure to make it back to the property in time to enjoy amazing sunsets that bring peace and tranquility to your experience.
Our neighbors, JG Ranch, offers U- Pick Fruit and Vegetables or a great selection of local harvest at their roadside stand.
This 10-acre property has been in my family for decades. My Husband and I were married under the oaks and have had our share of campfires together out there.
I've recently moved back home with my own family and as much as we enjoy the land for ourselves we'd love to share it. Any profit from hosting campers will help us maintain our sustainable farm that we're hoping to expand onto Smokey Acres.

Great set up and beautiful land we had an awesome time
We spent a night there on Memorial Day and had a great time!! Really beautiful area with a good mix of open meadow and shady trees to camp underneath. The ground at our spot was flat, dry, and didnt have any sticks or debris even though it was under a nice big oak, and there was a cool trail to walk around. Clean bathroom and shower area too! The pond was beautiful.
The only downsides were the mosquitoes (to be expected) and I was really looking forward to seeing the goats and llama from the site’s description, but they weren’t there. I was also hoping to go to the you-pick fruit farm next door, but that was closed for the season. Otherwise, this place has a great location that feels very off-the-grid but still close to some stores if you need anything. Not a bad drive to the springs either (25 minutes, give or take). Overall I give it a thumbs up!
Amazing place to camp! Enjoyed how relaxing it was and plenty to do near by.
Go experience for yourself!

The tree covered sites are beautiful and the wildlife is amazing. I took photos of Turkeys, hawks, Sand Cranes and ducks. Plus I caught three bass in the pond.
Very quiet and peaceful with just a few campers. It was caterpillar season, so there's that. Wonderful shower with hot water and flushing toilet. Enjoyed our evening and morning fire.
The camp was very relaxing and quiet. It was a a great spot to camp and paddle Weeki Wachee and ride the bike trails.
The camp site was great! However we were expecting a site with electric hookup and water.
