We opened to the public on Labor Day 2014. Most people come to stay either in our rental cottage or in their horse trailers/RVs with their horses to ride the awesome trails in the 20,000+ acre adjacent Croom Forest. However, because our ranch is so peaceful, many stay here without horses just to enjoy the peace and quiet. There are many opportunities to recreate in the area, including outstanding mountain and road biking, OHVing, hiking, golfing, and canoeing/kayaking. Many full-time and working RVers stay for extended periods. Note that our camping area is small and intimate, so you will be close to other campers. We have 5 30-amp hookups, and 2 50-amp hookups; if you need 50-amp service, please request it. Note that a minimum of a 2-night stay will typically be required on weekends, especially during our busy season. WiFi is available, but we call it "Country WiFi" since it sometimes can be slow and may or may not be accessible from where you are parked; also, Verizon cell service in our area is terrible. If internet access is important to you, we suggest having your own hotspot or internet service (many working RVers have Starlink). Note that GPS can be very mean in our rural area; make sure your turn off Highway 50 is onto paved High Corner Road, which is 2 miles west of I-75 (if GPS tries to turn you down unpaved, dead-end roads, DO NOT LISTEN..you will get stuck!).Come stay at our peaceful ranch, located adjacent to the Croom Tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest. Bring your horse or mountain bike to ride the awesome trails, bring your bike to ride the nearby Withlacoochee State Trail, bring your OHV to ride in the nearby Croom motorcycle area, or bring your kayak/canoe for many of the nearby rivers and springs. Outstanding golfing is also nearby. We have 7 sites with full hookups and a rental cottage; amenities include a bath house, laundry room, picnic tables, and movable fire rings. The sites are close together and in view of our neighbor's house. Because we are a working horse ranch, we require that you stay in the general camping area away from the horses and barns (but we are happy to show you our horses if you ask). We live on site in the back of the property.

Fabulous Stay

31 ft fifth wheel · With pets

Our 2nd visit, and, again, it was fabulous. John and Kym are great hosts... John met us and helped to park and set up. We were on the end closest to the road, and the view is magnificent (very rural with maybe 5-6 cars a day). The layout was well thought out with hookups and paddocks, with large water buckets... and CLEAN, very well maintained. 10 minutes to Winn-Dixie, restaurants, gas. 15-20 minutes to Brooksville with everything you might need. We love it there!

We just had a quick pit stop to ride at Croom the next day. Boats were very nice and welcoming.

Relaxing Getaway

23 ft travel trailer

We were greeted by Kym upon arrival. The site was perfect for our weekend getaway. It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere with only the sounds of nature. But in reality, you are still close to essential needs. Kym and John have an idyllic property with 7 horses and a farm cat. They were wonderful hosts and conversationalists. John took the time to answer our questions about living on the ranch. I highly recommend Spotted Ranch to my friends.
