River Garden Farm

River Garden Farm is located just across the street from the Withlacoochee River in beautiful Dunnellon Florida. We have 1  RV camping space for up to a 30 foot RV. with water and 30 amp electric.  We also have a pull through site for "Boondocking" with 15 amp electric and water. We have a deeded boat dock and kayak launch just across the street. The Rainbow River is only about 2 miles away.


Toilets

Cooking equipment

The campsite, large enough space for any size RV.

Bee Fly Farm

I started raising animals and teaching survival training and it just rolled into something amazing. I hold knife making courses for Veterans, Police officers, Fire Fighters, First Responders and their families dealing with PTSD. Learn more about this land:Come stay in the Ocala National Forest surrounded by nature. We run a survival school that caters to veterans, police, fire fighters, first responders dealing with PTSD and children! Our specialty is knife and tool making. Our location is perfect surrounded by multiple springs to float down within an hour, bike trails, off road places to ride your 4 wheelers and so much more. Our farm is home to many animals that are ready for belly scratches and treats. There's Flynn & Maggie, the Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Elvis Lola & Gypsie, the pot belly pigs, too many chickens to list, Darla the pup, Donny the cat, and Samantha Sunshine the donkey. 

Showers

The Griffin Ranch 

One of Floridas old saw mills. Located on a 30-acre ranch minutes from the Ocala Forest and springs like Salt Springs, Juniper and Silversprings.

The sweet cabin we stayed in for the night.

This campsite is on the other side of the pond.

Another campsite on the sunny side of the pond.

There were many places on the property great for car or tent camping!

Marci's Magical Lakefront Oasis

Beautiful spot overlooking Lake Weir in The Ocala National Forest.  

Watch the otters play and count the many different birds that make this lake their home. Treat yourself to

incredible sunsets every night as the sun disappears into the water and enjoy the awesome reflection of the moon as it sets on the lake. 

(Check the moonrise/moonset tables to see if there is a visible moon during your intended stay - it really is an incredible sight). 

We have an amazing outdoor shower, with hot and cold running water, overlooking the lake. 

The extra large soaking bathtub is available for your use for $20 per stay if there are not other campers at the time due to us only having one bathroom available. Great for relaxing, bathing kids, or a very romantic evening.

Canoe, stand up paddle board and kayak available for your use at no charge.

You can paddle to nearby Gator Joe's which is an awesome spot on the lake for great food, drinks, and live music. 

Electric and water hookup (garden hose) both sites. 

RV 30 amp electric hookup, as well as regular 15 amp electric hookup on hilltop site.

Many trees on the property makes it tricky for large vehicles to maneuver, therefor we have a limit of 25 feet including tow vehicle.  

Dockside site has 15 amp hookup. We do have an adapter to connect to 30 amp hookup. It is closer to the house and bathroom than site 2 and has more shade and easy access to the dock. 

Pontoon boat rentals are available down the road. 

Being on the lake we do have mosquitos but they are mostly an issue at dusk and dawn for about an hour but we are out in nature so insect encounters of all kinds are to be expected.

 If there is a nice breeze, which is often the case, you can enjoy the sunset from the rocker loveseat at the edge of our dock.

We also have citronella torches available for rent.

We also offer a large bundle of firewood for $10. 

Campers MUST check in by 10 pm. We recommend arriving during daylight whenever possible.

It is important you understand that our property is not in the wilderness. We are NOT a commercial campground.

We have a couple of acres in a residential area and there are homes near the campsite. That being said, you will have complete privacy at your campsites as the two sites are on opposite ends of the property and you will not see me at all other than when you check in, unless you desire to do so. 

Both campsites face the lake however, and you may see some fisherman out there from time to time, but I guarantee you will see much more wildlife than people. 

Each site has its own fire pit.

 Our guests love this place because of the lake, the incredible sunsets and moonsets over the lake, and all the incredible wildlife we have here, as you can see from the reviews.

Well behaved pets are welcome off leash as long as they are supervised and don't bother other campers.  They are not allowed on the porches.  Please pick up any mess that is in the path of foot traffic. There is a $20 pet fee per pet per stay. Add it under extras.  Pet sitting is available for an additional charge. 

I'm a professional photographer with 30 years of experience. Please inquire if you are interested in having your portrait made at this incredible location.

We are 20 minutes from world famous Silver Springs, 20 minutes from Ocala Drive-In Movie Theater that usually shows great films for both kids and adults, and 20 minutes from the Santos Trailhead that offers world class biking and hiking paths.

Unfortunately, I cannot do anything about the people that come here that have not read the description, expecting a wilderness campground and choose to leave a negative review based on that but everyone that has read the description has loved it here and many return.

I love watching the summer storms on the lake

A photographer's dream - taken from my dock!

It is a large area, three or four tents can fit here. 

Secluded Canal Life

I came back to FL for the 6th time and fell in love with my stilt house and it's location.  There are canals on all three sides but not directly in my yard. This gem sat empty 5 years waiting for me.  She was brown and tired looking, I jazzed her up and brought her to life with bright colors and my eccentric decorating ideas, and animals.  You can meet my Munchkin cats, my MaCaw, Jasmine  (she bites)  and my little dog, Jax, while visiting.  I have one neighbor, on Leaf Ct., across the street, Carolyn, and that is where Happy Hour most days is at 4:00 pm.  We usually have cheese and crackers, snacks of some sort but beverages are BYOB.  I have 1 fishing pole, bait bucket, fish holder net ready to fill up from her dock. She has one fishing Kayak available to rent for $15 a day.  You can park your airboat at her dock too. Sometimes I offer specialty dinners as well, reasonable prices. Canal Life is a pleasant adventure, a little out of the way, a true hidden gem in Inverness.  The property is large enough for a couple tents to stay in front while you are here, invite your friends.  The flowers and the butterflies, the birds, owls, San Hill Cranes, and other critters may cross your path...Learn more about this land:PRIMITIVE, bring your own drinking water and toilet.  Perfect camp for those that like privacy.  Inverness, off of Turner Camp Road,  come by airboat or drive in.  Friends/family can bring tents or self contained vehicle.  Your area is large and you can put several tents here. I think my property is the perfect place for a couple or a small group to camp and have a great time but have all the privacy you don't get in a campground.  The campground has a charcoal grill, a firepit, rod iron table with seating for 4.    We are right past the airboat dam off Turner Camp.  Blacktop road down to site and water. Close to Inverness Fireworks, or you can shoot them off across the canal. Access to the Tsala Lake Canals at the end of road, 3 mi to the Withlacoochee River and free public boat ramp. The property is on a peninsula walking distance to airboat dam.  We are somewhat isolated but only 1/2  mile to a convenience store, 7 miles to town.  No one ever comes down my road unless they know where they are going.  Go to Rainbow Springs, Withlacoochee Bike Trail, See Manatees or Hunt Scallops in Crystal River, Going to Disney or Orlando, stay in your tent here and save.  Right now you can pull an RV in there if you can back down the street. 

The canal is right at the end of street, we have 1 Kayak you can use. 

This is a public road that no one knows about.  You can launch your kayak or airboat here.  You can fish also. 

Airboating is very popular and you WILL hear airboats while you are here.  They are supposed to be off the water by 11:00 pm.  You can bring your airboat and launch it from your camping ground without your trailer! 

Pileated Woodpeckers frequent the grandfathers oaks in the yard. 

When the water is low enough boats use this bridge, when they water is too high the boats go over the road. 

This dam is walking distance from the campground.
