Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape on 20 acres of serene rural land. Take a walk to the chicken coop and hear all of the chickens' opinions. Lay a blanket out in the meditation corner and enjoy the peace and quiet. Walk through the fruit trees and past the blackberries and take any ripe fruit of your liking. Explore the ranch to locate gopher tortoise burrows (but don't get too close) and wave at all the fox squirrels. Find the northeast corner of the ranch and play volleyball with your friends (let us know if you need a ball). Stroll through the round-pen-turned-garden and check out the Datil pepper plants which we use to make our datil sauce and datil vinegar (both are for sale to guests). Finally, enjoy the starry night sky. Thanks to our rural setting we have some of the darkest skies in Florida. There is an observatory only one mile away! Wildflower Ranch is close to dozens of crystal clear natural springs and rivers, bike trails, hiking trails, state parks, and more. We are ideally located in North Central Florida, so many of your Florida outdoor bucket list adventures are within reach. The ranch is a close neighbor of Devil's Den Prehistoric Spring, the Blue Grotto, Black Prong horse riding and biking trails, Cedar Lakes Woods & Gardens and more. Wildflower Ranch offers two private primitive campsites (accommodating tents or vehicles), one private RV site, and one private cabin.

4. Wildlings Farm + Folk

45mi from Inverness · 2 sites · Tents, Lodging

Welcome to Wildlings Farm + Folk; our lakefront farmstead retreat in Central Florida, where wide-open space, fresh air, and simple farm life create a peaceful escape—just outside everyday conveniences. Set on 3 scenic acres directly on the lake, our property offers a rare blend of nature, recreation, and accessibility, making it ideal for camping, glamping, family getaways, and nature retreats. Wake up to blue skies, birdsong, and grazing goats, then spend the day paddleboarding, kayaking, or fishing from the lake. As the sun sets, enjoy cotton-candy skies, crackling firepit evenings, and starry nights that feel far from the hustle—yet you’re only minutes from Publix, Target, restaurants, and the Florida Turnpike, and about 30 minutes from Walt Disney World. The land features fenced pastures, a rustic barn, and open grassy areas where kids can roam, climb trees, swing, or relax in hammocks. Our friendly goats and ducks are part of daily farm life and add to the charm and connection many guests seek when escaping the city. Portions of the property are thoughtfully maintained, while other areas are intentionally left natural for preservation, wildlife, and exploration. This is a place to slow down—whether you’re sipping coffee by the water, watching animals wander at golden hour, or enjoying quiet moments surrounded by trees and lake views. While we do live on the property, guests have designated areas to explore and enjoy, and we’re always respectful of your space. Perfect for those seeking a nature escape near Disney, a lakefront camping experience, or a family-friendly farm stay that balances adventure, relaxation, and convenience.

The cabin was great and had everything that we needed. Our dog came with us and loved running around on the property. Kim was very quick to respond to all messages and available for anything we needed during our stay. The cabin was a great place to enjoy a fire under the states

Looking south from the Blazing Star campsite offers views of the main homestead and the Senna cabin.

I loved my stay at Kim's! It was so quiet and private. I especially loved that, even though there's no water or electric hook-ups at the tent sites, you still have a clean, climate-controlled bathroom with electric outlets if you REALLY need to charge something. Also, hot showers! I will say, if you're checking in after dark, make sure you go in the non-gated entrance with the metal wildflowers and NOT the gated entrance next to the goats. As per her instructions, your mapping app may lie to you.

We LOVED this location. Remote and yet close enough to friends that we were able to enjoy a night after our festivities to relax. ****IMPORTANT**** Unless you have stayed here before, I would advise arriving before the sun goes down. With its remote location, and technically “rural Florida”, you want to be sure you don’t find yourself on someone else’s private property. Thankfully, Brian has A-MAZING neighbors who happened to come by just when we were going back to our instructions on how to get to his property. He was so kind and said “follow me” and even proceeded to call Brian for us to let him know we were coming so he could meet us at the sites. We knew we would be coming in late (which we don’t prefer) but we had never been to this part of Florida before to understand its rural location. Rural is what we prefer, hence why I booked it, and we do know what to expect…but thank God for Brian and his neighbor. Brian is living a dream I have for us one day. Waking up to the quiet and trees surrounding us, only able to see what we assume is the helpful neighbor’s adjacent property. We WILL be back. For more than one night next time. The kindness we were shown was amazing and it’s a blessing to know those people still exist in our crazy world. In the morning, seeing the kids have fun outdoors was joyful. Making their own “slip n slide” and enjoying the sunshine and outdoors with each other. Love it! Thank you Brian and family…and neighbor…for a great experience. ❤️

Camping at Wildflower Ranch was great! Some of our favorite parts about this property: the stars, the showers, and the chickens. The property is super close to Cedar Lakes Woods and Gardens, which was another highlight of our trip. Highly recommend if you're looking for a private and serene spot to camp out.

Brian has a piece of heaven and offers it to anyone that wants to enjoy tranquil nature with beautiful views. I am definitely coming back again to spend more time enjoying the simpler life and peace and quiet that surrounds his place. There are cattle nearby and you can hear them mooing along with other animals and birds in the woods. If you’re looking for rustic tranquility this is definitely a great spot for it. Lady is Brian’s dog and she was such a loving animal, she played and played with our dog Becky for what seemed like an hour but actually was maybe 30 minutes :). I’ve been to several places where I would not recommend because of one thing or another but this place was so easy and felt safe I got probably the best rest I’ve had in years. All our thoughts and troubles went away as we enjoyed the sounds of nature knowing that Brian was there if we needed anything. Two thumbs up 👍 👍. We all need to have a special “go to place “ to get away and this definitely clicks all the boxes for us. May God bless Brian and keep his place open for us to enjoy for many years to come.

The Dune Sunflower campsite has a dedicated 6 ft picnic table and 3 ft diameter fire pit.

Great open land with nice clusters of trees for cooling shade. Owner does an excellent job in providing a bin of some essentials along with a very detailed and organized binder that explains everything you need to know to ensure the best experience possible. All the rules are clear so there’s little left but to relax and enjoy the property. They provide all kinds of add ons including access to a very nice gym. Restrooms and showers were some of the nicest hip camp amenities Ive seen, all cooled by brand new air-conditioners. Cold and hot filtered bottle water is provided to refill your camp supply. We saw several gopher turtles and the bird watching was incredible with 11 different varieties in one evening. We would definitely go back and visit again.
