7 of us stayed on Richard’s farm for 3 days. I was a girl scout for half my life, earned my Bronze, Silver & Gold award. I’ve camped all over northeast Florida and this was the worst camping experience I’ve ever had. There is now a rope going through the pond to mark the property line. The owner of the campground owns less than 50% of the pond. In the description of the campground it states, “We also have an active u-pick program during the blueberry and peach harvests (late March to early June) available to Hip Campers.” We were later told that we were not allowed to touch the blueberries. We were told we could buy some but they were sold out until the following day, the day of our departure. Owner’s dog will never leave, he basically sits under you while you’re eating. Site owner’s neighbor should be mentioned on arrival. At night, a few of our kids went to look at the water and shined their flashlights on the other side of the pond. The neighbor shot off a gun as a warning to not come on his property, obviously scaring the kids. A gun going off near you at night would scare anybody. Later that night we were accused by the owner of trespassing on his neighbors property and picking mushrooms in his field. In actuality, we had never left our designated area (campsite and pond area). We drove 2 hours to camp on a farm and eat blueberries, trespassing was not in our itinerary.
Overall, we felt like a nuisance. There were several things that should have been disclosed.
