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. *****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.******

If you've ever wanted to fall asleep with a cat purring on your feet, wake up to another one on your pillow, and spend your days in some of the most beautiful spring country in Florida — you've found your place. Purradise Springs is a 9-acre cat sanctuary and glamping retreat in Fort White, Florida, operated by Purrapy Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Over 180 rescued cats roam freely across the property. Your glamping tent — we call them Purrts — is their territory too, and they are very opinionated about sharing it. The Purrts: Three climate-controlled glamping tents — two with king beds (sleep up to 3) and one with two full-size beds (sleeps up to 3). Each has memory foam mattresses, AC and heat, and storage. All guests share access to the Purrapy Lodge — our air-conditioned lounge and bathrooms. The Location: 5 minutes from Ichetucknee Springs State Park — one of Florida's most beloved natural treasures. Tube, snorkel, kayak, and swim in 72-degree spring water. Gainesville and the University of Florida are 45 minutes away. This is genuine North Florida spring country — live oaks, Spanish moss, wildlife, and stars at night. The Mission: Every booking directly supports our cats and the ongoing transformation of this sanctuary. We are actively repurposing, renovating, and reimagining this 9-acre property using salvaged and recycled materials — turning what was neglected into something magical. Your stay is part of that story. Be prepared for: • Cats. Many, many cats. In your tent, on your bed, in your heart. • A rural Florida property that is rustic, real, and full of character • Bugs (it's Florida — bring spray!) • Smells (180 cats = litter boxes in the lodge — we keep it clean but honesty is our policy) • One of the most unique and memorable experiences of your life Perfect for: • Cat lovers, obviously 🐾 • Nature lovers and spring country explorers • Solo travelers, couples, and small groups of friends • Anyone who wants a stay with a story worth telling Not the right fit if: • You need a pristine resort environment • You're traveling with children under 18 (ongoing construction areas) • You're bringing pets (our rescues need a safe, calm environment)

This was such a nice secluded place to stay overnight on a longer trip- Kids had so much fun just walking around catching lizards and wildlife and learning right outside the door! Shower, ac, WiFi, parking, fridge and all was perfectly good and useful Would definitely recommend this I would download the surrounding area on maps so you can navigate without connection to WiFi, it is very secluded! Also recommend getting food from outside the city because it’s very sparse, stock up on gas too!

What a lovely escape. I stayed at Trudy and Greg’s eclectic rescue farm in the colorful tiny house accompanied by all the chickens and roosters that provide the fresh eggs for breakfast and your alarm clock in the morning. They made it very welcoming and the inside was cozy, cold a/c, a frig, and tv …with a full bathroom that I appreciated as a “glamper.” The animals were a highlight! Shin their pup could chase a ball forever and he was a delight. Ms Calico came for dinner every night. The horses loved extra treats as well. They try to make your experience one to remember with a painting station under the big oaks and the star gazing is something you have to do! Walk the trails at sunset and enjoy a roasted marshmallow by the evening fire.

The camper was so cute! Perfect for me :) it was chilly the night I stayed and I stayed nice and cozy all night. The trees on the property are amazing all in themselves! But the hosts are just as great… I noticed at night, when you walk out of the bathroom you can see the stars peeking through the trees and moss, so don’t forget to look up! The bathrooms and shower house were top notch. I would love to stay again if I am ever in the area.

Weekend Trip to RUNNING SPRINGS RIVER RETREAT

Everything about this place is a dream! We went for my birthday celebration and completely fell in love. From the first few moments after arrival, I could feel my whole system winding down and relaxing. We loved visiting the spring at the bottom of the dock, and enjoying the river view in the many cozy spaces provided. The kitchen was fully stocked so we could make lots of yummy meals too! The beds were nice and comfy, and the hanging bed outside was a special treat. It was so easy to pop over to the nearby springs to take a dip, and coming back to build a fire was a perfect way to end the day. We will absolutely be back, and soon! Thank you Kelli :)

Weekend Trip to Bowman's Landing

This place is awesome! We wanted to stay another night, but I had to work. Instead, we headed back to Bradenton and stopped in Cedar Key for a couple of hours. During our weekend stay at Bowman’s, we rented kayaks and paddle boards with an outfitter called Rum 138 and it was such a beautiful & chill run. Jesse, the host at Bowman’s was very accommodating and showed us around as soon as we arrived. It’s so beautiful, the kids enjoyed playing in the woods and you can ride bikes in the nature trail around there and just set them free. The sunset colors in the sky are amazing and you’re right along the Santa Fe. We cooked deliciousness on the Blackstone we brought, but each Campsite has a little grill on the fire pit if you wanted to use that (which we will probably do next time.) They have Community bikes to use and if you want to bring an old well working bike you don’t use anymore & want to donate to them, I’m sure they’d appreciate that! We rented one of each of the cabins…, one with kitchen, one glamper, etc. I can’t wait to go back! Plenty of nature, chickens, etc. Jesse is very informative about the area and cool quirky things. Awesome times!! I do have lots of photos. I will add to this later.

Sandhill Hunt Primitive Campground

Nice private campground. Plenty of privacy, very few cars come up or down the road. I saw none there in three days. One night at about 10:00 pm, some ATV riders with lights on drove through the campground on their way along the trails (I assume) but it wasn't excessively disturbing. They came off the road, through the campground, and then disappeared into the forest so not sure where they went. I didn't see much wildlife or hear anything except birds. Obviously primitive camping with no toilets, water, electricity and such...which was nice. Go, relax, and enjoy!

Ocean Pond Campground

Ocean Pond is a large, popular campground and ranges from electric/water sites to water sites to primitive. Many of the sites are on the lake or have a lake view (it's large and definitely isn't a pond). Sites range in size and openness. There's a nice swimming area and you can pull your boat up to your site if you're on the lake. Two things to know: Unless you want lots of noise and hubbub, don't camp here during a holiday weekend. It's a popular local camp/party spot during those times. Also, May is yellow-fly season and they're blood thirsty and vicious. They laugh at bug repellent.
