The farm you’re camping on is one of the last family farms remaining in Columbia County and is named Glenn Farm after DV Glenn who married Hettie Lou Niblack in the 1930’s. Over the last 150 years it has been farmed by some of the county’s oldest families such as the Niblack and Ellis families. When DV Glenn came to Florida from his farm in Cairo, GA he took over the portion of the Niblack farm that was inherited by his wife Hettie Lou. At that time he was running native Florida cattle on over 6000 acres. Unfortunately, In 1951 he was killed in a hunting accident leaving his wife with the farm and 4 children (ages 4-11). In order to survive, Hettie Lou Niblack Glenn was forced to sell 5000 acres at $25 an acre. Holding a bachelors degree from Florida State College for Women, she was able to secure a job at the University of Florida as a secretary and with the money from the land sale she was able to raise her four children. Of the original farm, 600 acres remain intact and the Glenn family is trying to keep the farm as an agricultural operation. Your campsite is 1 of 4 spots (Arrowhead Sink, Dunagan’s Meadow, North Hall Pasture or Magnolia Sink). We also have a 1 bedroom Tiny home that used to be the farm office. Dunagan’s meadow is a pasture behind the old farmhouse (built in 1824), Magnolia sink and The North Hall Pasture are also on the main farm while Arrowhead Sink is on the edge of a hayfield about a mile down a dirt road. Glenn Farm is a place to come relax and experience a world that is rapidly disappearing. It is not a commercial campground.
This is my second time staying here and I absolutely LOVE it. Both times ive stayed at the cave spot and it's just beautiful. Tom and judy are both wonderful hosts and the farmland is incredible.
We LOVE camping at Glenn Farm! This is our 2nd time here and we'll keep coming back forever! This site is extremely private and quiet and the sink is really beautiful.
We had an AMAZING stay here! Tom was a wonderful host and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He greeted us when we arrived and took us around the property to show us the sinkhole and say hi to all the critters, and to help with getting to our campsite for the first time. The meadow was super quiet and peaceful, made for a really relaxing space to unwind after a long day at the nearby springs. Spending time with all the animals was just the cherry on top. Would give this place a 20/10, cannot say enough good things about it! 🩷
Absolutely loved staying at this quaint little cottage.
Everything was pristine clean, comfortable beds, nice induction cooktop with all the kitchenware you could ask for.
Now, what truly makes this a gem of a place is the breathtaking property that surrounds you. Filled with the sweetest donkeys who enjoy a good apple, the cows who will let you sit with them under the trees, and most of all, the hosts, Tom and Judy.
They were both so hospitable and welcoming. You really couldn't ask for a more peaceful, perfect place. Would highly recommend Glenn Cottage and look forward to another visit!
This is such a beautiful place to camp. The views. The cute animals. Not only that, Tom was very hospitable and showed us around and told us about the history of place! It was fascinating. We would love to visit again sometime.
