Welcome to a sweet and soulful little piece of the woodlands.
Tucked in on 4.5 acres, this spot is a secluded, enchanting piece of old Florida. Stay in one of our three designated camping sites, tie up a hammock, gaze at the pond inhabitants, and check out what's growing in the seasonal garden. Also enjoy the many flowering plants and other special trees.
Florida's gem-colored, healing spring waters are just a 20 minutes up the way and local retreat centers and yoga studios dot the area. Gator fans? Head into Gainesville for a game and to visit the University of Florida.
Mostly, enjoy. We look forward to hosting you!
To note for all guests: We suggest arriving before dark so as to make set up easy and comfortable. We do not require a formal check-in and encourage being self-reliable in set up of primitive campsites. (For something with more structure and a space already set up, check out our Aframe cabin.) We do have water, a composting toilet, sink, and groundtemp shower for your use and ease.
***PLEASE NOTE FARM TOURS AND ANIMAL EXPERIENCES ARE CURRENTLY PAUSED***
This spot was so lovely! We stayed in the A-frame cabin that was cozy, we loved our campsite and this spot. Our last night of the three we heard the crickets and frogs chirping and it was pretty magical. Bummed we didn’t get to tour the farm, next time!
I was not able to stay at Wildland Pond because I fell & broke my tibia in my right leg. I was able to text Allie that I was at the Emergency Room and would not be able to drive for at least 30 days. Was there anyway I could switch my dates?
I also did not see a way to contact Hip camp to let them know.
It would be nice to be able to contact people when u have a medical emergency. I am still in the hospital and won' t be able to camp for awhile. The hotel I had booked after my hipcamp stay was easily cancelled with a complete refund.
I have stayed at other hip camps in other states before & I was able to talk to the hosts in person. I have always enjoyed my hip camp experiences, but I think I need
more reliable ways to communicate if a medical emergency happens.
Thank you for considering this situation. Annette
This is a nice quiet spot to camp outside of Gainesville. My kids and I had a good experience. The outdoor bathroom was nice and clean. The outdoor shower was freezing so just be aware that there is no hot water. No big deal though. We would camp here again if we were in the area.
