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. *****Due to severe drought this year, we have lost the pond. We are still open for camping, but please note the pond is not as pictured. Thanks for your understanding during this tough time for our water table.****** ## Highlights - **Amazing views:** Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views. - **Family-friendly:** Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is great for families and kids. - **Staff verified:** Accuracy verified by Hipcamp's on-the-ground team. - **Allie is a Star Host:** Star Hosts are highly rated, responsive, and committed to providing incredible experiences. - **Romantic:** Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic. ## Amenities - **Amenities:** Pets, Potable water, Toilets, Campfires, Showers, Trash, Cooking equipment, Picnic table - **RV amenities:** Electricity Hookup, Water Hookup, Generators - **Activities:** Fishing, Horseback riding, Swimming, Wildlife watching - **Terrain:** Forest, Swimming hole, Field, Wetlands, Farm ## Sites - **Bragging Eagle** (rv-tent, up to 4 guests, $35.00/night) - **The Blue Heron — Camper/RV Hookups** (rv-tent, up to 4 guests, $60.00/night) - **The Owl Burrow** (rv-tent, up to 4 guests, $45.00/night) - **Pileated Place** (a-frame, up to 4 guests, $85.00/night) ## Recent reviews > Always love staying here! > > - Andrea W., November 8, 2026 > Love my stay here. Great campsite. Host was very responsive. I highly recommend the bread, eggs and jam. All were super delicious. I will be staying here again next time I am in the area and I hope you will consider it as well. > > - Jonathan L., October 26, 2026 > We booked three nights at this absolutely, gorgeous private place. Everything worked out really well! > > - Andrea C., October 18, 2026 > What an amazing place. I loved my time at Wildflower Pond. I stayed at the bragging eagle spot and it was perfect for me as I was camping solo, though it’s enough space for at least two, maybe three tents. Perfect amount of shade with the feeling of being in the woods alone. They offer sourdough bread and fresh goats milk and I highly recommend both, specifically the cinnamon raisin sourdough. Yum yum yum. Let them know in advance if you want it the day you arrive because it’s fresh and takes two days to make. It is so good I ordered one to take home, and I usually don’t eat bread! They are gr… > > - Steven B., September 9, 2026 > My boyfriend and I stayed at the Pileated place for a couple of days and it was such a sweet getaway. Allie was so kind and thoughtful, the amenities were all clean- Allie thought of everything we could possibly need. The garden is beautiful, we woke up to horses and a donkey on our last morning was the best surprise! 🥰 > > - Tahmina K., July 31, 2026
