Welcome to a sweet and soulful little piece of the woodlands. Tucked in on 4.5 acres, this spot is a secluded, enchanting piece of old Florida. Stay in one of our three designated camping sites, tie up a hammock, gaze at the pond inhabitants, and check out what's growing in the seasonal garden. Also enjoy the many flowering plants and other special trees. Florida's gem-colored, healing spring waters are just a 20 minutes up the way and local retreat centers and yoga studios dot the area. Gator fans? Head into Gainesville for a game and to visit the University of Florida. Mostly, enjoy. We look forward to hosting you! To note for all guests: We suggest arriving before dark so as to make set up easy and comfortable. We do not require a formal check-in and encourage being self-reliable in set up of primitive campsites. (For something with more structure and a space already set up, check out our Aframe cabin.) We do have water, a composting toilet, sink, and groundtemp shower for your use and ease. ***PLEASE NOTE FARM TOURS AND ANIMAL EXPERIENCES ARE CURRENTLY PAUSED***

Pileated Place
Beautiful and Spacious Campground
Wildflower Pond was just the type of place we were looking for. We loved the spacious campsites and beautiful campground provided. We were looking for a place where the campsites were not right next to each other and were so happy to find Wildflower Pond. The aframe has been beautifully built and provides enough rain cover with the awning open. The location was very nice to easily go to the springs and UF campus. We enjoyed walking the small trails around the campsite and the road and even saw deer more than once. I would definitely recommend and will stay for a few more nights to really enjoy the space some more.

The Blue Heron — Camper/RV Hookups
We loved this little oasis of peace and quiet. It is placed in agricultural area. There are 5 camping sites well spaced with vegetation buffers scattered around a pond. The grounds and all facilities are well tended to which speaks to Tim's work ethic. The RV site was the perfect space for our little travel trailer. Tim comes around to check-in on each camper without being intrusive. We had a great weekend adventure with Wildflower pond being our "home" base. We drove the 40 minutes to Ichetucknee State Park and spent a leisurely day floating the river and then ventured down the road to Sandy Point resturant on the Sante Fe river in Banford, FL. It was just wanted we needed to feed our souls. Thank you Allie and Tim for sharing your land!!

Beautiful property with a nice pond, and the perfect host. It's quiet, far from highways, but you will hear the owls, birds, frogs, and some horses, roosters, and dogs off in the distance. The two spots we put our tent on were for basic camping. Tip: use highway 235 from Alachua and then NW 75th to get to the property if you don't like dirt roads.

Perfect little spot
We loved camping at Willow Pond (blue heron site). We came into town to ride 🚵‍♀️MTB at San Felasco State Park, which is only a short drive away. Super quiet and peaceful🥰
