Royal Palm campsite was a surprisingly peaceful and secluded stay in the Florida wilderness. The property is full of mature shady trees, open spaces, and plenty of places for campers to hang out.
When we arrived, Otis the camp host came out and showed us around and got us all set up for our stay.
We parked our camper in the back of the park next to the community vegetable gardens, where we got to meet the mom and son who planted and currently tend the gardens. They kindly told us to help ourselves to anything growing, so we added some delicious fresh picked kale to our veggie burgers for dinner. There’s also 6 adorable chickens that free range on the property.
The park is dog friendly, and there’s a large area up at the front of the park where we were able to run around with her to get some energy out. There’s a community clubhouse that has internet, washers and dryers, fridges, and tables and chairs available for use.
Anthony was awesome, and he went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
This was a really great and convenient stay that’s nice and close to ocala national forest. It was great to have hookups available to help with the crazy florida heat.

We stayed at Cindy’s campsite for two nights, and we enjoyed every moment!
Our camper was completely encompassed in the mature beautiful trees which provide constant shade during hot florida days.
Everything campers need is available- a fifty amp hookup, water, sewer, and an additional post with an electric outlet.
The campsite shares a property line with a neighboring horse farm, and the few sweet horses can sometimes be seen near the campsites, happy to meet any campers staying.
Cindy is working on creating a non-profit that will be used to assist any starting out nonprofits. It was cool to talk to her about their mission, see some of the projects in the works, and explore the land they’re restoring.
This was a wonderful and relaxing stay, and we can’t recommend this campsite enough!

We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. The entire two acres are fenced, and we were able to let our dog run around, which she loved. The gravel drive is easy to navigate and we had no problems driving our 21 foot camper in and getting it hooked up. We recommend driving into the first gate, it’ll get you facing the right way and make it much easier to park. We were impressed with how quiet and secluded the site was. The amenities at the site are perfect- the bamboo outdoor shower was nice after a busy day, the indoor bathroom was spotless, and there’s a well-built fire ring with chairs perfect for relaxing.
This campsite is wonderfully close to Ichetucknee Springs, where you can take a three hour relaxing tube ride down the crystal blue spring.
We spent our stay outside enjoying the shade from all the mature trees, making a great fire and making s’mores, and having fun with our dog who is a runner and rarely gets to be off leash.
We truly enjoyed our stay and the beautiful surrounding springs!

Camp Awesome was a one-of-a-kind camping experience! The land is a fascinating quarry, and campers have access to both sides- the thick forest that leads to the top of the high rock drop-off/wall, and around the other access to the property is a short walk to a private beach to enjoy the beautiful quarry water.
We arrived in our 21 foot rv and set up camp among the woods where there is a cleared path that leads to the host’s own private camper, as well as a clearing with an antique camp stove that was fun to make a fire in during our stay.
In order to access the beach, campers need to drive or walk back along the main road and over a couple streets to get to the entrance. It was about a half mile walk. There isn’t much parking along the side with the beach, so the host recommended not to park there for extended periods of time. We drove our camper and parked on the sloped grassy shoulder for about an hour while we were enjoying the beach.
The spring fed rock quarry is absolutely stunning! You will have to hike down a mild steep hill to the beach area. There’s a 2 seat kayak available for campers to use which was a nice added bonus.. We had the place to ourselves, and we spent a relaxing late evening enjoying the water with our dog.
After our swim, we drove our camper back over to the other side of the property to set up a campsite for the evening.
This is a beautiful unique piece of nature that was private and peaceful surrounded by lush green plants. We fell asleep to the owls hooting, wonderful cool breezes, and a night sky full of stars without any light pollution.

We were greeted by Bree and she showed us the two spots to set up our RV with hookups which was a nice treat since we weren’t expecting that. We enjoyed our stay at the Mushroom Grove even though the weather wasn't cooperating with us. The RV site did require some leveling but that was no big deal, the host plans to put some gravel down which would be a nice added touch.
There are plenty of options to pitch a tent as well as a newly constructed outhouse with modern plumbing available. The site has lots of trees giving you plenty of shade and some gorgeous massive oak trees covered with moss and ferns to awe over. There's also a community pavilion right by the large pond to hang out and grills available for use.
Bree has a friendly neighbor with a few farm animals such as chickens, ducks, and pigs we were welcome to socialize with.
As we roamed the property, we started noticing all these cute little mushroom ornaments perfectly scattered along on the property, it quickly turned into a fun mushroom hunt to try to find them all.
This was a wonderful relaxing stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our time.

We absolutely loved our stay at Homosassa RV Site. The site is located on a corner of a quiet residential area. This spacious site offers full hook-ups, a large patio table, and a movable fire pit. It’s also decked out with outdoor string lights which was a nice touch when we enjoyed our take out dinner that evening. Alonda and Alan are great with communicating everything you need to know to have the best experience on and off the property.
The walkway to the owner's private dock is paved with bricks and has beautifully landscape plants and is just a short walk from our site. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the dock and took advantage of the paddleboards offered on site. Launching off the dock is a breeze and we couldn’t believe how close we were to the head of the springs! We wished that we could have stayed longer to explore this amazing location.

Tracey is one of the most incredible hosts we’ve ever had! She went above and beyond to give us a fantastic tour and make sure we were completely set for our camping trip. It’s wonderful to see her passion for connecting people with animals, and it’s easy to see why this hidden gem is so raved about/popular. There is such a wonderful variety of animals on the farm, all with unique stories and personalities.
The farm was incredibly clean, by far the best we’ve ever seen. There are nice wide paths that easily take you around the property and everything was easy to access.
The property is nice and big, with a nice flat parking area for multiple rvs and plenty of cars. There are a handful of primitive tent campsites, all secluded, peaceful, and private.
The newly added cabin is adorable and has two couches, a table, and nice bright windows; perfect for a rustic glamping trip. The front porch looks right out to the animals, and it was wonderful to spend our morning drinking coffee and admiring the sweet horses right near us.
There are some great amenities for campers, including a port-a-potty and an outdoor shower. There’s professional signage around the property so guests can easily resolve questions they might have.
We highly recommend booking a farm tour during your stay! We had such a great time meeting all the animals up close, feeding them some alfalfa, and loving on the adorable baby goats. All the animals are so friendly and well socialized and we loved meeting each and every one!

Saving Grace Farm is located down a long dirt road leading you to a gated grass/dirt plot. As soon as you enter, you will see to the left, the pen of various farm animals on site. We were met by Gregory, who gave us a tour and told us a little about some of the animals' stories.
They currently offer 3 primitive style camp sites that each include a fire pit. However, none of the sites offer shade from the Florida summer heat. One site is located by the community pavilion that has a few picnic tables, a sink, and grill. This is also the only place for campers to seek shelter from the sun.
There’s a tight grid of rectangular buildings consisting of two cabins, a shared bath house, and the aquaponic buildings. We felt the cabin was quite misleading and not worth the $150 per night. The cabins do have electric and a/c, and the rustic modern bathroom is shared with primitive campers and anyone in the cabins.
This site lends itself more to a group that wants to use the large shooting range area. However, we felt 2 of the primitive camping sites were uncomfortably close to the shooting range and if there was shooting going on, the sites would be unsafe.
If you’re looking for an easy campsite with flat grounds and parking right at campsite, this place is for you.
