Private campsite in the middle of the city! My family and I were lucky enough to find a four acre urban forest less than two miles from FSU, the Florida Capitol and downtown Tallahassee. And just a mile from midtown! We are welcoming tent campers to come experience camping in an urban forest.
The camping area has a hot water shower and sink, and the main site (#76), is fully outfitted with fire ring, tent pad, fresh water, a picnic table and plenty of hammock trees!
The camp area has space for up to 6 tent campers and 2 cars. All sites share the shower and sink areas and a port-o-potty that is professionally cleaned weekly.
Sprinter style vans (UPDATE) - We successfully had a Sprinter Van on the site and have now started accepting booking for that style van. Due to limitations on space and clearance, we can only allow vans with a max of around 10 1/2' tall and 23' long. This is equivalent to a Sprinter 170. We can not fit RVs or extended wide bodies conversions.
Pets: Pets on leashes are allowed on the property. Guests with aggressive animals will be asked to leave.

The hilltop spot is a simple clearing in the middle of the property, includes a fire ring, trash can and access to the shared hot water shower and sink area. Has two flat spots for tents or parking.
I think most folks that have small vans or truck top campers choose this spot if they are self contained and have a bunch of stuff they want to spread out.
Campers visiting this site often feel a surprising sense of seclusion despite its central location in the city. The outdoor shower, with its hot water and strong pressure, is a highlight for many, adding a unique comfort to the camping experience. Guests appreciate the thoughtful amenities like potable water, picnic tables, and a fire pit, which enhance the convenience of the stay. The host, Danny, is frequently praised for his friendly and helpful demeanor, ensuring guests feel welcomed and well-informed about the site.
Really unique spot at the capital city! The spot felt secluded despite being walking distance from a busy area. Beautiful site with a fire ring made for a great stay! Danny was very friendly and helpful. Only down side was the noisy neighbors at night, but it is not that bad. Would recommend this spot if youre staying in Tallahassee!
Our campsite was great! It was so spacious. Having an outdoor hot water shower was a plus! We had a nice campfire, I would definitely stay here again when it gets cooler out.
I had a wonderful camping experience this weekend. The property was absolutely majestic, peaceful, beautiful, and close enough to home to make it feel like a true hidden gem. It offered the perfect balance of being immersed in nature while still having convenient amenities that made the stay comfortable and easy.
Danny was an excellent host. He was very communicative, accessible, and responsive throughout the experience, which made everything from arrival to settling in seamless. It was clear that thought and care have gone into creating a space where guests can genuinely relax and enjoy the outdoors.
I left feeling refreshed and already thinking about returning. I would absolutely recommend Danny’s property to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-maintained, and convenient camping getaway.
Even though it was in town, you felt like you were in the woods…. Other than the other campsite, there was no evidence of suburbia…. The area is completely wooded.
Danny's land was excellent! We came to help our daughter move from her dorm. The location was less than 10 minutes away from FSU. Its a peaceful sanctuary from the city. The port a potty, outdoor hot shower, potable water access, 2 picnic tables, a fire pit and tent pad are amazing amenities. You can tell that Danny is a gracious and kind host not only by speaking with him but the thoughtfulness of what he provides. We hope to be back again for a longer stay. Thank you!
I enjoyed staying at Danny's site; clean, easy to find, and relaxing. The amenities were also beneficial- drinkable water, shower, wash sink, fire pit and more. Loved it. I will definitely stay there again!
This was the perfect little camping site in the city. It felt super private considering how close you are to everything. The shower had great water pressure and hot water and we had everything we needed for a weekend away with our families!
This was such a great stop; we were just passing through, but would have loved to stay longer. It is a great location in downtown Tallahassee, yet feels very remote! We were able to see a little bit of Tallahassee night life during our stay. Danny is a great host and the amenities are super handy.
What an absolute gem, both Danny and the site/stay. Danny has a natural oasis that he has opened up to others and it’s beautiful. It’s a nice quiet escape and you forget you’re in the city. We had a lovely fire, cooked dinner, met Danny, slept under a foggy, moonlight sky and took an amazing hot, outdoor shower that rivals any shower I’ve ever taken. We loved staying here and definitely will pass along to friends and hope to stay here again in the future.
My entire group loves this property. In the woods, yet a bike ride away to the capitol building, where the mountain biking event we are in town for starts! This is my third time booking this space, and it 100% my go-to in Tally. I am about to go ahead and book next year right now. ha!
Decent spot right in Tallahassee, wouldn’t know it was there without the detailed instructions. There was one other campsite on the property. You cannot see much of the city but you can still hear it, if you are looking for total secluded peace and quiet keep in mind. Would stay again if I was in the area and needed to. Host stopped by to say hi, seemed friendly
Great experience all around. Campsite was exactly as described and host was very helpful and welcoming. Location was perfect for exploring the city, but I was surrounded by beautiful wooded land.
Magnolia Mountain is a hidden gem in the middle of the city. No one even knows its there, including a friend of mine who has lived in the house directly in front of it for the past 2 years and had no idea it was even there. The outdoor shower is an amazing feature that sits in the back of the camp. Danny is an amazing host who gives you your privacy, is friendly and one can have a conversation with him. Great place to ease people into camping who are beginners or are just scared of the woods. Can bring your dogs, family, friends and have a great time. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone and I will be bringing my kids there for their first time camping.
The site was amazing!! Less than 10 minutes from campus! The hot shower was really nice and the site was very organized. The owner, Danny was very nice and made sure we had a good experience. So glad we found this, we’ll definitely be back!! Thanks, Danny!
