At Koblasz Farms, the value is in the privacy. You get the property to yourself, guaranteed. Walk with the animals. Talk with the animals. Koblasz Farms is one of the few farms remaining in Seminole County, and the only breeder of registered Scottish Highland Cattle. These beautiful girls are part of the oldest registered breed of cattle in the world. They will take your breath away as they mingle in your surrounding pastures. If you are lucky, you may even see one born. Be sure to bring fig newtons, and gain friends for life. Few things in life are cuter than Scottish Highland calves, unless you ask the mini-donkeys or the goats that will do their best to convince you otherwise. And wildlife abounds. You can expect to see deer, wild turkeys, eagles, hawks, cormorants, cranes, turtles, and other wildlife. Let's talk fishing. Our pond has been stocked with large mouth bass, shiners, bluegills, and shellcrackers. Catch and release only. We are conveniently located 40 minutes from Disney, an hour from Daytona Beach, 50 minutes from New Smyrna Beach, and 20 minutes from downtown Orlando.

The best camping near Holopaw State Forest guide

Overview

About

A Holopaw State Forest camping adventure is like finding a hidden gem in the heart of Central Florida.

Located off U.S. Route 192 in the unincorporated town of Holopaw, this forest is a secluded getaway from the hustle and bustle.
