Shoreline Tent Camping

AMAZING!!!! So cool!! Great for kids, quiet, almost nobody there. Watusi cattle visited our tent in the late morning. We were scared, we petted them, and they were so graceful never hitting our children or our cars with their giant horns. They are very gentle and very sweet. Kids loved playing on the isthmus/islands and we were hiking and jogging at the big hills which is something you never see on flat land in Florida. Being farm people it was exciting to see a skid steer and excavator working on land and near the campsite. Kids loved it as well. Staff were really friendly and sweet, Farm dog was awesome. Dude working on the main building was cool, just like all of our rough construction worker friends when we renovate houses. Garbage cans well-maintained at campsite, bathhouse looked clean from afar but we didn’t use it for our short stay. Goat pens looked clean and cute, goats looked healthy and needs were being met. Cattle had plenty of access to shade, water, wind, socializing, exercising and grass/feed. Campers were riding bikes all over the place on the miles long trails. This will be our number one place to stay when we visit grandma in Orlando and go to Legoland again. Next time we will bring fishing poles, fishing nets, bikes and such. This place is a 10 out of 10!

Shoreline Tent Camping

Such an incredible place to go camping with your kids. These folks have really hit it out of the park. We look forward to many more trips in the near future. Thank you so much for the incredible experience!

RV BoonDocking and Primitive Tents

We loved our stay at Wilderness Shores. We boondocked on the property with our RV right by the water. The views were beautiful and everything was very peaceful. Everyone on site is very friendly. Our girls loved the baby dwarfs goats. We fed longhorns cows, billy goats and horses. There are some trails to go on to explore and fish. We bought a pack of their ground beef for one of the nights and made burgers, BEST burgers we’ve ever had! At the end of our stay we bought meat they sell from their longhorns to take home. It’s a great weekend getaway! Highly recommend! We'll definitely be coming back.

Lake View RV AC Hookups

Had a wonderful time with our travel trailer. They have hiking, farm animals and lovely areas to sit and enjoy the views throughout the farm. They have electrical and water hookups with a dump station on site. Pet friendly.
