I stopped in just for the night with my tent. The ground was flat and the stars were amazing— I couldn’t ask for more!

This camping site was absolutely phenomenal! The hosts were so warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It was my first time coming with my puppy, and they were incredibly supportive and understanding. The place was spotless — we ran, played, and most importantly, felt completely safe the entire time. I totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and pet-friendly getaway!

Beautiful spot. We have the whole place for us. Bathroom is plastic but very clean.
As we arrived in the middle of storm we were welcomed by lots of mosquitoes. Make sure you bring citronella with you.
No fire was allowed as there is a fire ban in the area

I loved staying here! The owners were absolutely incredible and just good human beings! I was there for the 4th Sunday of the month when there was an open mic day and loved every second of it!!!! Good friends, good music in the barn - life doesn’t get much better! Thank you sooo much!
Oh also, if you’re really lucky you will get to bottle feed the baby sheep!!!
Highly recommend!

Not only would we recommend Old Florida Shady Oaks - Good Earth Farm to a friend but we would also like to return. 80 acres of Picturesque Farm chic paradise located in the country side.
An open concept style camping under the sweeping spanish mossed oak trees mingling with the swaying pine offers a serene setting. Being within a moments reach of downtown palatka, you can grab any last minute or forgotten items.
Wash your hands at the outdoor sink with a view after dinner as the glow of the golden hour meets the breeze upon the grazing goats loo. If an open field rolling breeze isn’t inviting enough, bring your telescope for star gazing.
An important note: Fire pits are limited availability.
Expecting rain? Go anyways and bring those rain boots! Puddle hoppers delight with a little bit of dry ground for a quick break (a lot of area in the camping sections puddle free).
If you seek a total reset, don’t skip this place! From the drive in to the duration of your stay, this shall not disappoint.

What an amazing impromptu trip we had. Quiet, clean and oh so pristine! Greeted right away, sheep, chickens and a guard Great Pyrenees. The Freeman’s are sweet folks. Support some local folks and go check this place out, you won’t be disappointed.

We had such an amazing time! The property is so beautiful and the hosts were so friendly. We felt right at home. I’m a female traveler and although I was camping with my partner I would have felt safe and comfortable being alone as well. The directions were clear and we could even buy eggs for breakfast! We took a day trip to the beach (30mn away) and it was just perfect. Thank you!

Such a cool campsite! It was peaceful and quiet and the camp hosts were super nice. Highly recommend. One note: potable water on site has sulfur in it, be sure to bring your own.

I had a great experience with the host, who was kind and took the time to show me where I could set up my tent on the site, even in the dark. It was lovely to see the farm animals and the beautiful red barn during my short morning visit. The price was reasonable, and best of all, there were no alligators!

I was extremely late leaving my home city to head to their farm due to unforeseen circumstances and it pushed my arrival time to just about nightfall. I was in contact with Len several times on the way updating him on my circumstances and he was very kind to allow me to still meet up with him and receive me into the camp. He was extremely friendly and let me choose where I wanted to setup in the camping area as there was only one other camper there when I arrived. He pointed out the restroom, charging station and the potable water areas. I was doing some "car" camping. It has animals on the farm and plenty of visually wide open spaces. The first twenty four hours was mostly filled with substantial downpours and made enjoying the outdoors less pleasing. However, I made the most of it and was able to cook out several meals between rain showers and then setup a rain shelter with tarp to enjoy myself whether or not it continued to rain. There were firepits to use and some scraps of wood. But to really enjoy the firepit you will need to bring a supply of wood. There was some muffled noise from traffic in the distance from time to time, but nothing intrusive. One thing to note is that at times thoughout the visit there were many rounds being fired that could be heard from local hunting areas or an outdoor shooting range. Did not bother me as I am used to those sounds + did not occur during sleeping hours. Animals made some noises but nothing too loud or disturbing. Good location.

Amazingly beautiful location and host. 10 out of 10 will do it again. I didn’t want to do a review. I wanted to keep it secret but this place is awesome, you need to stay here if you can.

Wonderful visit! Even though the temperature was blazing hot during Memorial Day weekend, the shady hammock provided a relatively cool respite from the heat. Hosts were lovely and welcoming. We will be back!

This is a beautiful property. The owners are wonderful and I enjoyed their stories about the farm and their life. They have added sheep to their farm and an adorable puppy.
