Don't stay in the middle of another loud, packed campground. Enjoy the peace and quiet that only comes from staying in a quiet rural setting with absolutely NO other campers onsite. At Koblasz Farms, the value is in the privacy. You get the property to yourself, guaranteed.
Walk with the animals. Talk with the animals. Koblasz Farms is one of the few farms remaining in Seminole County, and the only breeder of registered Scottish Highland Cattle. These beautiful girls are part of the oldest registered breed of cattle in the world. They will take your breath away as they mingle in your surrounding pastures. If you are lucky, you may even see one born. Few things in life are cuter than Scottish Highland calves, unless you ask the mini-donkeys or the goats that will do their best to convince you otherwise. Feeding experiences available.
And wildlife abounds. You can expect to see deer, wild turkeys, eagles, hawks, cormorants, cranes, turtles, and other wildlife.
We are conveniently located 40 minutes from Disney, an hour from Daytona Beach, 50 minutes from New Smyrna Beach, and 20 minutes from downtown Orlando. We are also minutes away from parks for hiking, picnicing, kayaking and canoeing on the Little Wekiva River including the Wekiva River State Park, Katie's Landing, and Wekiva Landing.

This is the parking lot of my commercial building. It is fairly private, with no traffic other than 2 employees at the building. It's more of a staging location for something else you're looking to do, rather than a camping venue. I listed the site here because I realized there are no RV campsites within about a 20 mile radius. Why might you want to camp here, rather than Disney's Fort Wilderness?
-You're visiting family in the area and need a place to stay and park your RV
-You want to visit the many attractions in the Orlando area, but not pay tourist prices and camp in the middle of it all
-Maybe you're waiting for parts or service at one of the many RV dealers in the area
-You need a short stop for water, power and provisions
What do you get with your camping adventure here?
-Plenty of space, a 100'x40' concrete slab that you can use as you need. The parking lot is on a slight, 1-2 degree, cross-slope.
-Parking for up to 10 vehicles
-30A RV outlet and 110V power
-City water supply

Our farm is off the beaten path surrounded by mossy oaks and lots of shade. If you are having a rough week, load up and relax on our working farm filled with miniature horses and numerous other adorable miniature animals that will be sure to
put a smile on your face. Pack your camping gear, tents, vans or RVs and find peace away from the traffic and everyday stress. There is plenty of nature and you can take a long stroll to clear your head.
Mount Dora is across the main street less than 5 minutes away. Our antique town is an amazing experience to explore with lots of history and complete with quaint shops and restaurants, boating and lots of things to do. Rennigers Antique Center is located right up the street (less than 5 minutes away) for some great picking. We are conveniently close to the Central Florida Attractions and the beach on both east and west coasts within an hour drivep. A few Campers favorite places to visit are Mount Dora Bike Trail - 2.6 miles, Kelly Park - 11 miles and Kings Landing 12 miles from farm.
We offer youth day camps on various dates, pony rides and a tour of our farm animals for an additional fee.
Reservations required in advance due to the other activities we have going on.
In 2007, we had no idea where this adventure was going to take us.
Our small urban farm was sharing our miniature animals with assisted living facilities and Neulife, where we have 3 miniature horses that live on their property.
Little by little we have evolved into more of a need to share with the community and help others with the relaxing qualities our farm and animals have to offer, we want to be able to share and better educate with hands on experiences, teach kindness, patience, confidence and help others to be the best they can be.
Thank you for your time and if you visit, share a review!
Reviews are the best way for us to better ourselves and your experience.
Have a great stay!

The property is definitely different then most. The site itself is super spacious, and has great tree coverage from some ancient oaks. the site can hold up to an extra 5 tents if neened. There is solar power to the tee pee with a 750w solar inverter connected to two deep cycle batteries. Now to get to the site you have to go through the main busy part of the property (we literally have planes, trains and automobiles and more). But once you get to the site you feel the nature. Also right next to the property about 100 yd from where the property starts there is an entrance to a boat ramp (which has a 2 mi canal that goes to lake Apopka where you can launch a canoe or kayak, or do some fishing), also a 2.6 mi nature trail, and about 100 yd as well there is a 25 mile trail that you can bike, walk or horseback ride. That trail is a part of the Apopka wildlife drive which also starts not far from the property. It's a free nature drive on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays plus holidays. We are around 15 to 20 minutes from a few different springs such as wekiva springs, wekiva Island, Rock springs and Kings landing. We are about 45 minutes from SeaWorld, aquatica, volcano Bay, universal studios and more.

When you are here you are family.
Hi, I'm Danielle. My Mom, JoAnn, founded Black Horse Ranch in 2017. "You're family here" is something she said all the time to people who came to stay, and it is truly at the heart of our ranch. Black Horse is a place to enjoy nature, camping, campfires, and good company, in a place that feels like home.
The property is a beautiful campground nestled into a nook of the Ocala National Forest. We are surrounded on 3 sides by forest, and you can ride or hike straight from any of the many trailheads on property!
We offer 30 and 50amp sites, there is a bath house with full bathrooms and laundry, a Community Kitchen you are welcome to use, a screened in Pavilion for meals or hanging out, a POOL! (yes you read that right!) and a Clubhouse with couches, games and all! We have a few rentals (a cabin and RV) and we are working on getting more. We do have wifi on the property, and we also offer golf cart rentals.
If you have horses, you'll love coming to Black Horse. We are surrounded by countless trails through the forest with the trail heads sitting right on property, two barns for horses, many outdoor stalls and paddocks, wash racks, and an extra large riding arena.
There is world class fishing nearby at the St. John's River and we are right near many beautiful springs - which, if you have never spent time in a natural spring you will absolutely want to check that out! Kayaking, tubing, swimming galore in crystal clear waters. We are a 20 minute drive from the Villages which offers shopping, dining, and activities, as well as 20 minutes to historic Mount Dora which is a beautiful artsy downtown village. We are 1 hour from Daytona & New Smyrna, 1 hour from Orlando (Disney anyone?).
There is plenty to do on the ranch and nearby the ranch. You will have a blast. We'll see you by the campfire!

It was definitely a cool experience. Although I would not recommend it to people that don’t like farms. Because that’s exactly what it is. There’s 30 goats running around, chickens, and a whole Lotta dirt. But that’s what we wanted and that’s what we got. The owners were friendly. It’s very dark out there at night time so bring your flashlight. But it was awesome to wake up to the roosters crowing. Will be back.

We had an amazing stay at North Shore Relic Ranch for my birthday weekend (April 24–26)! Even though we arrived super late, James made everything seamless and welcoming and having our tent already set up was such a thoughtful surprise.
The campsite was spacious, peaceful, and well-equipped with everything we needed. James was incredibly responsive (firewood in minutes!) and gave great local recommendations.
Our kids’ favorite part was feeding the goats and chickens, petting the cats, and exploring all the cool relics around the property. Such a fun and unique experience!
We left with full hearts and can’t wait to come back 🤍

Overview
About
While you might enjoy tubing a lazy river at a waterpark, the experience simply can’t compare to tubing in the crystal clear waters of one of Mother Nature’s natural lazy rivers. The highlight of Kelly Park is a 68-degree, free-flowing spring that creates a meandering stream. The clear aquamarine waters pass through a lush green landscape, offering a tropical paradise for swimming, floating, paddling, snorkeling, and hiking. This popular Orange County park, located near Apopka, Florida, often fills within an hour of opening for visitors seeking day passes, but camping onsite means you’ll have direct access to the bounties of nature without the lines.

Notable campgrounds
- Best for onsite camping: Kelly Park Round Spring Campground offers water and electric hookups for tent and RV camping.
- Best for state park camping: Wekiwa Springs State Park Campground has full hookups and another beautiful natural landscape to explore, just 15 minutes to Kelly Park.
- Best national forest campground: Clearwater Lake Recreation Area and Campground offers dry camping with onsite amenities.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Reservations for the Kelly Park Round Spring Campground are only accepted online on the Orange County Parks website.
- Entrance fees for the swimming area and tubing run are included in your reservation.
- Pets are not allowed in the campground or park.
- Campers must arrive before the park’s daily closing time, which varies by season.
- The park offers 30-amp and 50-amp electric hookups, with water spigots at the sites.
- Sewer hookups are not available. There is an onsite dump station.
When to go
Central Florida’s summers tend to be hot and humid, with frequent rains and thunderstorms. The park’s waters close when lightning is nearby. Expect daily high temperatures to top 90 degrees, but the natural spring waters stay a refreshing 68-degrees year round. Fall and spring tend to see high temperatures in the 70s to 80s, which may still allow for swimming, and these shoulder seasons have fewer rainy days. Winters are perfect for those seeking year-round sun, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s. You won’t encounter freezing temperatures or snow here.
Know before you go
- Tube rentals are available at vendors outside the park, or you may bring your own floats, pool noodles, and rafts, as long as they are less than five feet in length.
- Kayak, canoe, and paddleboard rentals are also available outside the park in locations like Kings Landing and Camp Joy; some offer shuttles back to your departure point.
- Alcohol is not permitted.
- Rock Springs Kelly Park is located 35 miles north of Orlando, providing easy access to many popular theme parks.
- Picnic pavilions, restrooms, showers, and a concession stand are available.
- Alligators are not found as commonly in spring waters, but they are prevalent in the region and may be found in Kelly Park.
- While many Florida springs attract manatees, this park does not. Instead, you may see otters, turkeys, turtles, and more.
