The farm you’re camping on is one of the last family farms remaining in Columbia county and is currently 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 counties oldest families such as the Niblack family and the Ellis family. DV Glenn came to Florida from his farm in Cairo GA to marry Hettie Lou Niblack. When he took over this portion of the Niblack farm 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 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 Glenn Family is trying to keep the farm as an agricultural operation. Your campsite is 1 of three spots (Arrowhead Sink, Dunagan’s Meadow or Magnolia Sink). Dunagan’s meadow is a pasture behind the old farmhouse, Magnolia sink is also on the main farm while Arrowhead Sink is on the edge of hayfield about a mile down a dirt road from the main farm.

Arrowhead Sink
A special place!
Tom was a friendly and gracious host, and the setup was even better than advertised. We enjoyed his brief farm tour (friendly lambs and goats and chicks!) and the nearby grotto cave is very cool. The site is flat, private, and has nice shade most of the day. I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent T-Mobile 5G. Highly recommend!

Best camping trip ever!
This was one of the most unique and amazing camping trips I have ever got to be apart of! There was not one other person while we were there, it felt like VIP access. I will definitely be coming back!

A trip back to the good days
A wonderfully peaceful place that I find myself camping at again and again. The animals bring the joy and you can’t ask for more of a weekend away.

Best camping experience
This is a beautiful pasture with plenty to do. The fenced pasture adds security for pets and kids, and the livestock are entertaining and fun! We’d highly recommend this place and the hospitality of Tom, Judy, and Stephanie was better than some of the finest hotels. There is so much to do in the area and we recommend the town High Springs and checking out one of the dozen of fresh water springs in the area. It was a bit windy in the field but other than that our experience was great. Thanks for everything Tom and family, we will be back.

Ditto all the other reviews! The campsite is great, the sinkhole is even cooler in person than in the pictures and Tom is super friendly and goes above and beyond to share his love of his farm with you. Book it, you won't regret it!

Beautiful spot!
My husband, dog, baby, and I all enjoyed camping at arrowhead sink. The sinkhole is STUNNING and such a beautiful element to admire. The 11 acres of field were a dream come true for our dog to run around and the sunsets were gorgeous. Campsite was clean- we didn’t have a fire but the firepit was nice. Compost toilet was nice to have. The baby goats and sheep were adorable. Private and relaxing! Hope to be back someday!

Perfect escape from city life!
Toms land is absolutely stunning! It’s a good mix of open field and wooded areas. The camping spot we stayed in was tucked into trees with a beautiful view of an open hay field. It’s a very relaxing spot! Tim is an exceptional host. He showed us to our spot, gave us some history of the place, walked us down into the sink and let us pet the baby goats!

Had a late arrival and an early departure l. But I could spend a week here. Absolutely beautiful place. It’s so amazing that they share this location with people. It is a very special place. Going back soon with wife and son. Baptized myself in the sink. I imagine paleo Indians living is harmony crafting arrowheads near the pristine water.

Sheep and cows
A multi-acre, fenced, green meadow, maintained by many sheep and cows. Tom and his mother Judy, lead us to our remote campsite. It is a quiet, peaceful place to watch and mingle with sheep, representing all ages. A 20A receptacle is available. There is abundant firewood for a campfire.

Welcoming, unique, amazing!
This was our first experience with hip camp and our first trip in our pop up camper, it was amazing! Judy met us and helped us get to the site, showed us around, and offered to let us help feed the baby goats. 😁 She was so sweet and let us hang out with the goats for a while and it was amazing to go explore inside the cave / spring. Site was clean, composting toilet was set up nice and also clean, it was quiet and the stars were amazing. A trash can, fire pit, and picnic table were there for us when we got there. We only booked for one night sadly but we decided just after getting settled that we already want to come back! Thanks for a great first hip camp experience and for being so welcoming. :)

Tom was the most outstanding host I’ve had the pleasure of meeting through Hipcamp. His family was absolutely amazing, and I’m so grateful I made the leap to try out their farm for camping. The spots they have are beautiful but private, and the added gems of adorable farm animals, unique cave systems, meandering trails and open expanses of farmland all craft an incredible camp experience. I plan on coming back some spring time to enjoy the flowered fields and mushroom laden trails that Tom talked about. Incredible host. Beautiful space. 10/10 would recommend!

Great Hosts, Cave and Animals!
We had an amazing time on our stay on Tom and Judy’s land. I can’t think of anyplace else we could have stayed where we could explore a cave, feed and hold a baby goat, hold day old lambs and have a tour of a beautiful farm! It rained most of the visit and Judy managed to pack so much in for the kids anyway. We certainly didn’t expect all that. Thank you so much Tom and Judy! We will certainly be back!

This was our very 1st stay at a Hipcamp and our very 1st night out with our new Coleman Rubicon 1200RK. Tom was such a great host. His Passion for the land and its history was so evident in his introduction during our meet and greet. It truly enhanced the experience that much more.

AMAZING CAMP SITE!!
We loved camping on Tom’s land! Not only was the pasture beautiful, but Tom was one of the kindest people we’ve ever met. He was so accommodating and gave us a great tour of the land! Including the awesome sink hole at his other camping site. We will absolutely be back to feed some more sheep and cows at the pasture. And to camp at his other site to dive in the sink hole!

Tom made us feel so welcome from the start. He is passionate about camping and sharing his very abundant knowledge! We had so much fun learning and wish we had more time! There is much to see and explore here. This spot is great for intermediate campers! It was a pretty cold night, but the views of the full moon/stars, coyotes in the distance, and heat of the campfire really put it altogether. Alex- "From the very start I felt like family. From the guided tours of the cave system, to the animal encounters. You can really see the care the owners have for every part of the homestead." Ann- "Thank you so much for having us! It was an awesome memorable tour you have given us. The camp was perfect and I can't wait to come back!"

Loved it! Tom's land was beautiful. And he was a friendly host, gave us a tour and shared some history of the farm. If you're looking for privacy but also close to town - this is the spot. The town which was 7 minutes away had awesome restaurants, antique shops and a brewery. We really enjoyed watching the sheep graze under the shade. And we already plan to come back!

We loved loved loved Tom’s property. It rained on our main day there which sucked, so we didn’t get to explore as much as we’d like. But we will definitely be coming out again if not more. But that did not ruin how much we had fun! We brought our 9, 8, &2 year old there, and two Great Pyrenees. We all had a blast. Tom was great! We loved chatting with him. I loved playing with the cows and sheep! Wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend! Love how private it is too! Some HipCamps can stack you with many people. We truly felt like we were on a secluded piece of farm life!

Private and secluded camp site at the edge of a large field. Ample shade and a nice site with picnic table, camp fire ring, trash can and composting toilet. The sink is amazing!!! Definitely worth seeing. A great experience especially for the price. Tom is super accommodating and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Best campsite ever!
We love staying at all of Tom’s properties. It has become our favorite place to get away and unwind. This meadow is our absolute favorite place. Our two dogs thoroughly enjoyed running through the meadow and burning off extra energy. It is so peaceful out here. We will be back again and again. Tom is amazing and his farm soothes our souls.
