Hidden gem like a National Park!
Tent · With kids ·
AMAZING!!!! So cool!! Great for kids, quiet, almost nobody there. Watusi cattle visited our tent in the late morning. We were scared, we petted them, and they were so graceful never hitting our children or our cars with their giant horns. They are very gentle and very sweet. Kids loved playing on the isthmus/islands and we were hiking and jogging at the big hills which is something you never see on flat land in Florida. Being farm people it was exciting to see a skid steer and excavator working on land and near the campsite. Kids loved it as well. Staff were really friendly and sweet, Farm dog was awesome. Dude working on the main building was cool, just like all of our rough construction worker friends when we renovate houses. Garbage cans well-maintained at campsite, bathhouse looked clean from afar but we didn’t use it for our short stay. Goat pens looked clean and cute, goats looked healthy and needs were being met. Cattle had plenty of access to shade, water, wind, socializing, exercising and grass/feed. Campers were riding bikes all over the place on the miles long trails. This will be our number one place to stay when we visit grandma in Orlando and go to Legoland again. Next time we will bring fishing poles, fishing nets, bikes and such. This place is a 10 out of 10!

Would Stay Here Again

Very accommodating and the animals were a delight to see. Clean bathrooms with warm showers, sink and toilet. We used it as a home base for several adventures including a day at LegoLand. Would definitely stay here again.
