Brooksville, FL · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
We opened to the public on Labor Day 2014. Most people come to stay either in our rental cottage or in their horse trailers/RVs with their horses to ride the awesome trails in the 20,000+ acre adjacent Croom Forest. However, because our ranch is so peaceful, many stay here without horses just to enjoy the peace and quiet. There are many opportunities to recreate in the area, including outstanding mountain and road biking, OHVing, hiking, golfing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many full-time and working RVers stay for extended periods. Note that our camping area is small and intimate, so you will be close to other campers. We have 5 30-amp hookups, and 2 50-amp hookups; if you need 50-amp service, please request it. Note that a minimum of a 2-night stay will typically be required on weekends, especially during our busy season. WiFi is available, but we call it "Country WiFi" since it sometimes can be slow and may or may not be accessible from where you are parked; also, Verizon cell service in our area is terrible. If internet access is important to you, we suggest having your own hotspot or internet service (many working RVers have Starlink). Note that GPS can be very mean in our rural area; make sure your turn off Highway 50 is onto paved High Corner Road, which is 2 miles west of I-75 (if GPS tries to turn you down unpaved, dead-end roads, DO NOT LISTEN..you will get stuck!). If you don't have your own RV, you can rent one from Ray Day's RV Rentals (229-515-7008), which is literally around the corner.

Brooksville, FL · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to Top Harmony Farmhouse 🌿 Top Harmony Farmhouse is a small, family-centered homestead in Central Florida, built from the ground up with love, learning, and a deep desire to live a more intentional life. What started as a dream of slowing down and reconnecting with the land has become a daily journey of growth — caring for chickens, ducks, and other small animals, building a garden for our own food, and learning step by step what it truly means to live sustainably. This is not a perfect farm — it’s a real one. You’ll see us in the middle of the process: planting, adjusting, learning from mistakes, celebrating small wins, and creating a peaceful space for our family and those who visit. As a guest, you’ll experience a quiet, natural environment surrounded by trees, animals, and the simple rhythms of farm life. Depending on the day, you may collect fresh eggs, see the animals roaming, or just enjoy a calm evening under the Florida sky. Our goal is to share a space that feels grounded, welcoming, and honest — a place where you can pause, breathe, and reconnect with a simpler way of living. During your stay, you are welcome to enjoy and purchase some of the fresh and homemade products we offer: 🥚 Fresh Farm Eggs – $7 per dozenCollected daily from our chickens, raised with care and natural feeding practices. 🌿 Homemade Sofrito – $10A fresh, homemade Latin-style cooking base made with herbs and vegetables from our kitchen and garden, perfect for seasoning meats, beans, and everyday meals. 🍊 Fresh Oranges – $3 per bagSeasonal and locally grown, simple and naturally sweet. Purchases are completely optional, but they are a meaningful way to support our farm and everything we are building here. We’re happy to have you be part of our journey. — Top Harmony Farmhouse
