Clean and secluded, this property was left to overgrow for 40 years until we arrived in 2015.   It was used as Boy Scout camp in the 1970's so we often find little treasures from the past.  When coming to the property, you'll drive a short distance into the Withlacoochee Forest.  It was voted one of the "10 Coolest Places You've Never Been in North America" by the World Wildlife Fund and offers 10,000 acres of pristine woods and trails.  The elevation changes on the property make for diverse soil conditions and interesting mini-ecosystems.  There are pine scrubs, hardwoods, native flowers, wild raspberries & blackberries and many other edibles.  This is as close to primitive camping as you can get except that you have access to fresh, clean water and our home is a few hundred feet away.   Our homestead is a work-in-progress with a variety of gardening & animal projects and the beginning of a food forest!

Nice and secluded.
Very secluded but in a good way. If you are looking to get away this is the place. Carrie met us as we arrived and checked on us to see if we needed anything. We live in the suburbs so we were not used to country life. The chickens and roosters were new to us but we got used to it quickly. We will go back but in cooler weather. Nobody can change the weather, it was hot. Would recommend this to people wanting to unwind,

❤️🌲🐶Forest Farm Wonderland 🍇🐓❤️
Carrie is the sweetest gal I’ve ever met! Very welcoming! The property is beautiful if you prefer a private forest farm setting🌲🍇🐔🐶! The chickens are adorable babies! 🐣The roosters crowing as the sun is rising is a wonderful way to start your day🐓 The daily meetings with their family dogs, Mimi and Gabby, are bound to make you smile! If you stay up late enough, you might get to experience the blowing a few bucks creeping about the trees! 🦌 Play set for kids, picnic table for a nice meal outside! Plenty of room for backing in and out. You will meet very many bugs and spiders outside, from orb-weaving spiders to beautiful butterflies! 🦋 The distant heat lightening at night will make you sleep like a baby. Mulched area for the camper. Concert block and pads to park on. Extra concrete bricks for set-up. Water, electricity, and power hook-ups work like a dream. 50 amp electricity. (Local Walmart sells 30 amp to 50 amp adapter if you have a 30 amp camper) I honestly can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed staying at this site! Bring your respect and bug spray, this will be your new favorite forest spot! Thank you for the wonderful experience Carrie, hope to return soon!

Beautiful secluded site
This site is just minutes from I-75 yet far enough off the main road to be secluded. You drive partly down a forest road, but I have a 36ft Winnebago and made it just fine with a tow car. Carrie has it setup so you have your own private area. She offered to keep the dogs and chickens locked up, but we were ok with them being around. It is the Florida wilderness, chickens keep the bugs away and dogs keep the coyotes away. The chickens all have different personalities too. Our cats enjoyed watching them. The dogs are friendly and true to the post, Mimi will never leave you alone once you through the ball! We are a homeschool family and this was a great experience for us. We have made new lifelong friends. As for the site, 50 amp service, good well water, and sewer hookups. We hope to make it back soon to see our new friends!
