Wonderfield Farm & Retreat - Floral City, Florida

Hannah Green

We stayed in the Glamping Village, on Christmas weekend. It was gorgeous! Campsite included fire pits, running water for the sink and outdoor shower, compost toilets, heaters/cooling in tent, walking trails, farm animals, orange trees, and an amazing environment for camping.

Floral City is pretty adorable, completely scenic.

Wonderfield Farm was a cherry on top of our week long trip to Florida. We were tired of the hustle and bustle of Orlando and the quietness and serenity of the farm was exactly what we needed.

Tara was very welcoming and responded promptly to our questions on Hipcamp chat. She doesn’t stay on the farm full time, but we met some of the other people who work there tending to the animals and taking care of the garden.

The house was spacious with a large living room, a bedroom with two comfy queen size beds and a shower. There is an additional bathroom with the Tun next to the kitchen. The kitchen was my favorite place! Bright, newly renovated, with quality appliances and kitchenware and a cool bar we used for eating breakfast and writing.

There are also two screen patios: one with a large dining table and a grill and another with a sofa and a fire pit.

We loved waking up to the sounds of nature and the roosters. Our daughter was thrilled to meet the chickens, the ducks, the piglets and of cause the cows. It was super fun to fed them oranges!

We walked through the garden, took the nature walk through the property and picked oranges from the trees and from the ground. What a neat experience!

The farm is very authentic and is surrounded by a creek and marshes. We didn’t see any snakes or gators, but quite a few lizards, frogs and furry caterpillars.

We hardly saw anyone around apart from a couple of people in the morning, so it felt very private. There were other guests on the cottage but it was all very quiet.

The farm is a short drive from Rainbow Springs (we did glass bottom kayaking in KP park, swam in the turquoise water and walked to the waterfalls in Rainbow Springs). Crystal River and three sisters stream are about 30 min away as well.

Tara had provided plenty of information (in the chat and the booklet at the house) about places to explore in the area, dining etc, so it was easy to navigate

I wish we could have stayed longer!

Priceless. I will not be able to explain the experience via text; however, my son said, "Daddy, can we come here the next time I am with you? This place is awesome." We were greeted by the pigs/boars and cows. I took video of the cows coming up to us when we first arrived and our dog kissing through the fence. The permaculture and natural landscape is right up my alley. This was something my son will have lifelong memories of and look forward to returning.

I love this place! it is an amazing example of permaculture at all levels (growing food, creating community using social permaculture principles), protecting, connecting and promoting the connection to the land and others. I am so grateful I moved to the area and can participate in more activities. Thank you for what you are doing Wonderfield farms.

I loooved my recent visit to the farm! My friends and I were there on a girls getaway. We stayed in the glamp sites and were impressed with the durability of the tent, the solar powered electricity, the comfort of the bed, and the “front porch” views. The glamp sites are secluded down by the river, with access to clean (and odorless) compost toilets + showers. The barn was a cozy space to journal and simply be. The host took us around the retired orange grove and gave us a rundown of the history + layout of the property.. AND we got to meet the sweet cows! There’s several nature walks in the vicinity, not to mention it’s in close proximity to the Florida springs. Overall such a wholesome experience! An opportunity to slow down and revel in old Florida nature. I’m still dreaming of those oak trees. ✨

Thank you to everyone at Wonderfield for all that you do for the environment, the community and your guests.

I visited Wonderfield last weekend for my friend's 34th birthday and we stayed in the new glamping tents for two nights. It was such a magical experience to wake up in the tents and look outside and see the beauty of the farm radiating through. I've been trying to find nicer "glamping" locations in Florida and have had a really difficult time until now, so was beyond excited when I saw these tents at Wonderfield. The tents are a wonderful blend of feeling like you're sleeping outdoors like traditional camping, with the comfort of a 5 star hotel. The farm is beautiful, the staff is very friendly, helpful, and professional, and I would definitely go back for another trip.

This place is truly magical! The glam tent was clean, spacious and comfortable. There was even electricity, a fan, and a little coffee station! We hiked the farm and visited the cows, chickens and garden. This is a true Florida experience!

Perfect for bachelorette weekends or intimate experiences, wonderfield farm blessed me and my group with lifelong memories. Tara was so helpful ensuring that we were taken care of! There’s so much to do for everyone I can’t wait to go back.
