We had a great time camping at Wilderness Shores. Check-in was easy. The site was clean with a great lake view, and the staff were friendly & helpful. We had longhorns that hung around our campsite the first night. Interacting with the different animals was a truly unique & enjoyable experience. We're already planning our next stay.

Diamond in the rough!
Absolutely amazing place!!!! Tom was so awesome showing us around & really hooked us up on our camping location. They have range free goats, horses & longhorns. Make sure you feed them because that an adventure in & of itself. The swinging bridge was the most peaceful. And catching bass 10’ from your site…. We’ve already booked with them again. I suggest at LEAST 2 nights 3 days, minimum.

Great Little Getaway In Town
If someone told me that I'd find a ranch that's also a campground, close to the middle of Lakeland, I'd have a hard time believing them. I booked a single night here as a birthday present for my fiancé, but I wished I had booked at least 2! We didn't have enough time to explore all the trails, but we had plenty of fun with the time we did get.
Definitely a place for people who love being around animals! As it is a semi free-range ranch, be prepared for horses, longhorns, and goats out and about. We purchased bags of feed, so we had plenty of fun hand-feeding the goats and horses. Can't wait to go back again!
Also they have day passes, so I plan on going and getting some of that grass-fed beef from the country store and grilling some meat on-site next time! The London Broil we brought home was a beautiful 2lbs cut and I wish we had stayed an extra day to have cooked it over the campfire.
