    We are just a small 12 acre property working towards being a self-sustaining homestead. We have power and water at the barn where you can park your travel trailer or larger RV. While you're here we're very happy to share our lovely farm animals with you. Never held a chicken before? You can here! Want to pet a goat or hold a goat kid? We're happy to let you do so. I'm not sure the ducks or geese will let you hold or pet them, but you can certainly watch them swim and quack throughout the day. Want to sit on the dock of the bay? Well, we don't have a bay, but we do have a pond with a dock where you can do some fishing or just enjoy the feel of the sun on your face and the sounds of the birds chirping. There's also a really nice park across the street where you can see a waterfall. Yes a waterfall in Florida. It's small but beautiful and there's some trails where you can walk around the park and enjoy all the beauty mother nature has to offer. Learn more about this land: Whether you're looking for an overnight spot or a place to camp for several days, our little spot is conveniently located less than a mile off of I10, exit 301. You'll be privately tucked into a quiet corner of our property where you have a walking trail and full access to our stocked pond for fishing or just hanging out. There's a little Columbia County Park co-managed with Suwannee River Water Management District across the street. The park has a boardwalk that takes you out to view the waterfall, picnic tables, a playground and a historic church.30amp power and water hookup. No sewer hookup.

    Great place to stay! Safe for solo female travelers. Easy to locate. Host was very inviting. Waking up watching baby goats run around was the best. Thank you for having me.

    Great place to overnite or stay a couple days. Fenced and gated( secure for unhooking) electric water ...small active homestead with usual livestock. Welcoming hosts. Right off I 10, near 75. Large gas station close by. Worked out great for this 71 yr old solo camper, attending grandchild softball tournament.

    We had a great time at Melba’s Farm. Jessica and Joey were so friendly and helpful. The farm was exactly as described! The campsite was level and right next to the barn. We hooked up easily to the electricity (30 AMP) and water. We felt very safe while we were there. The farm was so peaceful to walk around - a pond is on the property too. We loved watching the chickens & goats! Even had a couple of very friendly cats and dogs that stopped by to say hello. Would highly recommend!

    This was a great site. My first hipcamp experience. When I arrived I was met by Jessica and her partner (forget name). He showed me to the pond site, checked the terrain, gave me a few pieces of information, and left me to set up. It was easy and that site exceeded expectations for a quiet, peaceful, private, scenic setting. I was able to also walk around the farmland with my dog and check out the goats, cows, chickens, and geese. Rooster wakeup! Perfect.

    Great, relaxing “farm life” stay- no extra charge for enjoying the farm animals or the magical firefly viewing we had! Hosts were very responsive and helpful too.
