> We had such an amazing weekend at Wilderness Shores! 🏕️🤎 Camping right on the shore was absolutely beautiful, and we spent pretty much all day, every day fishing. We even caught 3 big catfish! 🎣 One of our favorite parts was seeing the horses and longhorns roaming freely and getting the chance to feed the goats, horses, and longhorns. It made the whole experience feel so unique and peaceful. This was such a special family weekend for my husband, our son, and me, and we made so many memories. We would definitely come back again! Highly recommend if you love camping, fishing, animals, and get…

> My son and I had an absolutely wonderful stay boondocking at Wilderness Shores Ranch & Campground! We were in town to visit LEGOLAND, and this peaceful property was the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of an amusement park. In fact, I think I enjoyed the campground even more than the park! We received a warm welcome from our host and her children at check-in, which took place at their little farm store offering fresh eggs, meats, and other goodies. The property itself is gorgeous, a sprawling slice of rural Florida with magnificent old oak trees draped in Spanish moss. It reminded me…

> We absolutely loved our stay here. We got lucky enough that almost nobody was here so it was so quiet and private for us. Although if you came and it was busy, there would be little privacy unless you chose the boondocking spots (which are amazing but you have to have a car that can drive on the rugged roads- ours could not make it). The bathrooms were kept clean and smelled nice. We saw plenty of wildlife. The staff (Lorraine) was amazing, kind and super helpful. She even took us on a tour of the property which was so fun and informative. She checked on us several times even after the rain to…

> I loved camping here! Waking up with longhorns in your front yard and horses to the side. It's what Florida is supposed to be with beautiful views of the lake. My kids loved all the animals and exploring the land. Lorraine made it such a memorable experience. Thank you so much! We will be back!

> I loved every moment of my stay except for the moment I got lost and ran my car in a rut. Lol That was all my mistake. I could get to my campsite but it took several tries to find my way out. My stay was a 10/10. After those attempts, i had it mastered. I walked many miles exploring the camp. The animals were so fun to watch! I loved it all. I already have my spot picked out for my next stay! Oh, They have the sweetest gal at the front desk!
