This was a good place to stay for the night for a trip to Gainesville. It was far enough away from everything to be peaceful, but still was close enough to Lake City and I-75. I would stay again.

Host was super nice and offered electric. Unfortunately there are a lot of dogs in the area that woke us up several times in the middle of the night with their barking

Beautiful, spacious farm! My son and I enjoyed a peaceful walk the morning we left. We only stayed one night, but it was very pleasant. Thanks for the stay, Sandi!

Sandi was very friendly and we enjoyed our time at the Dood Ranch! 10/10 recommend! We will most likely be back when up in the area!

Spacious and welcoming, Sandi’s land is a sanctuary, with butterflies, birds, sweet nature smells, quiet, and since there isn’t street lighting to distract, clear nights mean a blanket of stars! The fire pit is a plus. And the sites are far enough from her space for adequate privacy. Sandi dogs weren’t a nuisance, (they’re fenced off or in her home), but neighboring ranches pups barking could be distracting if you sleep light. Thanks again.

I loved my stay on Sandy’s land! Beautiful open property. The fire ring was awesome of course! This was a great camping experience! Would stay again!

Sarah was very accommodating and the other folks on the land were neighborly. Would stay again at this rustic place.

The spot, on its face, and the people there were great. Only complaint was the barking dogs and stray cat that tried to climb in my camper. The dogs were taken in at dusk and weren't a bother during sleeping time. The night sky, sunrise, and sunset were stunning. Great place to stay for the price if you don't mind my minimal bellyaching.

This is a great RV spot, water and electrical hookups and a large open space.
However, I wouldn’t recommend it for tent campers. We had to relocate our tent multiple times due to the lack of privacy. After finally settling in a new spot, we were asked to move again within 5 minutes because of a neighbor complaint(???) No matter what space you choose, you are always 25-150 feet away with a crystal clear view of other campers and RVs, and you can clearly hear most conversations, zippers, music, etc. Additionally, there’s barely any privacy in the woods to use the bathroom, every time I ventured into the wooded area to finally pee, someone—either the host or a neighbor—would strike up a conversation.
On top of that, the constant noise from the nearby highway and the 10-20 barking dogs on-site made the experience less than peaceful.

Big open spaces close to town, arrive early so you can get your spot set up. Very dog friendly.

Sandi was amazing. The spot we used worked out perfectly for us. Definitely will camp there again.

Very nice primitive site, secluded, and the site has a huge hard wood picnic table. Includes everything that you would expect for the price. Fire wood was also provided as well as a very clean compost toilet. Would definitely go back.

My daughter and I traveling through looking for something safe for our first time car camping.
Good location, great piece of property. The Host was there to greet us and to give a few suggestions.

Sandi's place was a great location close to the springs and close to I-75 but very quiet and secluded. Sandi and her daughter in law (Ashley) were great hosts, very welcoming and responsive.

Overall was a wonderful experience. Proximity to the famed root beer falls (or falling creek falls) and lots of space for camping - just be careful of fire ants here!

My friends and I were visiting for the annual Florida Folks Festival, however, to our dismay, there were no campsites available at any of the near by camping sites. Looking back I couldn't be more happy these places were booked solid! Tent camping at Sandi's was a fantastic experience!!! I will break it down into _ categories: Host, Location, Campsite Options
The Host for this site, Sandi, is not only incredibly friendly and helpful but also inspirational! She responds quickly to any questions we had and was genuinely interested in ensuring we had a wonderful time. While my friends slept in, I would talk with her and she left me eager to experience all life has to offer!
Sandi's property is a short 20 minute drive from Stephen Foster State Park, perfect for enjoying their festival. The site is located in Lake City which is a rural town, if you seek to camp in this or surrounding towns expect various farm animal sounds in the morning. To myself and my friends this did not bother us at all. This area is dark at night and the stars are magnificent!
For the campsite, Sandi has many options for whether you enjoy hammock or tent camping. I camped in the grassy field while my friends camped under the trees. If camping under the trees, bring a thicker tent footprint as there are a few thorned plants (a picnic blanket will do the trick). However, the field is wonderfully grassy! Sandi has big plans for this site and plans to constantly improve it. We cannot wait to visit again!
