Stay in our Cozy Tent and Camp with the Goats!

Goat House Farm is a 501(c)3 nonprofit educational farm. All profits go toward supporting the mission of the farm.

Come and de-stress by snuggling our goats. These bouncing bundles of joy are guaranteed to make you smile! We also have chickens, peacocks, honeybees, and even a pig. We are near Tallahassee but in a rural area, down a bumpy dirt road, but we promise the trip is worth it. Kayaking and hiking right off the property, plus beautiful sunsets on the lake.

We offer a roomy water resistant tent with a queen and a twin bed. There is no electricity in our tent, but you may charge your devices in the common room.
Please note that we change our tents rather often so the outside may be different but the inside configuration is the same.
There are goats in the camping areas so dogs are not allowed at this site.

We provide water, wifi, and fresh fruit for the picking when in season. We also have several extras from the farm you can request when you book such as our famous farm fresh biscuits with honey butter, milk, cookies, bread, fudge, and goat milk soap.

We have a small outdoor kitchen area with grill, stove, utensils, and picnic table. Basic cooking ingredients are provided (oil, salt, pepper, etc).

There is also a common room with sofas, fridge, microwave, tv, coffee, french presses, and tea kettle.

We have a small rustic bath house with hot shower and a composting toilet. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, and fresh towels provided.

There are also water spigots in the camping area.

Common areas and bath house is about 250 feet from camping area, which is located adjacent to the pasture.

Check-in/Check-out time may be flexible depending upon concurrent bookings! We ask that you clear your campsite by 11am, but you are welcome to spend the remainder of the day hanging out with the goats, kayaking, or just relaxing.

Private and group goat yoga classes may be available during your stay.

Unless you are a returning guest, please arrive before 7pm. Remember, there is an hour time difference if coming from the west. Late arrivals interfere with our milking and chore routine and we cannot stop milking to show you around. Farm folks also hit the hay pretty early! Please do not book and then tell us you will be arriving late. Thank you.

Feel free to message if you have questions! The herd looks forward to meeting you!!

Things you should bring:
Lantern (we do not always have them in our tents because they walk away very often!)
Trash bag. We have trash and recycling bins nearby.
Refillable water bottles (good, filtered well water so leave the plastic behind!)
Earplugs if the roosters will bother you. They have no clocks.
Sunscreen if you plan to be out on the lake
Bug Spray - Please be aware that beginning in mid-May for about six weeks is yellow fly season in north Florida!

We are located at the end of a bumpy 3/4 mile dirt road off Highway 20/Blountstown Hwy on the lake. Part of the road is paved, but most is dirt and we are prone to flooding after more than a couple of days of hard rain. We have several cars in the neighborhood that don't have a problem on the road, but - full disclosure! If bumpy dirt roads bother you, our road in is not for you. We - and most of our guests - think it is worth it.

We offer a 10% discount for FFA, all goat and dairy association memberships, and 4H, just send your number when you book.

Feel free to message if you have questions! The herd looks forward to meeting you!!

Note: This is Florida and a farm in the forest. There are bugs and spiders on the property. One may even end up in your space! Due to a previous guest's complaint about finding a bug in their tent, I thought I should make sure everyone knows it happens! You may also find a frog or two in the bath house. We love all of our critters here (ok, not fire ants. We kill them with joy).

Additional rules
Please be sure you understand this is a camping site with a tent provided, not an apartment or room in a house!

Visiting the Farm
1. NUMBER ONE: Be respectful to the animals. They are always a priority here. Use caution around the goats. While they are friendly and we’ve never had a problem, they are horned and can be dangerous. Any abuse toward the animals, physical or verbal, will terminate your stay immediately.
2. Children are not allowed in the main pasture or chicken coops without adult supervision.
3. Please use chemical products minimally. We are an organic farm and what you use eventually goes into the soil and the lake.
4. Keep all trash in a closed container. The wild critters will find it and make a mess. All recycling, with the exception of styrofoam should go in the green recycling can. Please do recycle. The well water is double filtered and perfectly safe to drink, so bottled water isn't necessary.
5. Do not litter on the farm, in fact if you happen to find any garbage please help us out and pick it up so the animals don’t eat it!
6. The refrigerator in the common room is a community fridge for campers and workcampers. Feel free to use it! Everything around the coffee pot and on the shelves is fair game too! Fridge is cleaned out on Wednesdays so if you have something there please mark it or let us know.
7. The gates to the pasture should ALWAYS be latched and looped. If one goat sees it open, he or she will call everyone else and they will make for the woods!
8. We strive for an environmentally sustainable lifestyle. Try to keep electric consumption in mind, and turn off anything not in use.
9. Do not feed any of the animals without asking first.
10. Campfires must never be left unattended.
11. DO NOT speed down the driveway. Sometimes kids get out and often chickens are hanging out along the way.
12. Dogs are not allowed in the pasture. NO EXCEPTIONS. EVER.
13. No smoking in barn, coops, manger, nursery, pasture, cottage, or in our tents.
14. If you have any issues at all, please let us know and we will make it right. Negative reviews are particularly difficult for hosts to recover from! We pride ourselves on offering a unique and comfortable camping experience and want you to be happy!
15. All tips go to our volunteer workcampers!

Tent Rules
1. Take your shoes off before entering the tent. It is never fun to sleep with dirt. There is a shoe rack outside the tent.
2. If you decide you don't want to walk to the toilet, please don't leave toilet paper in the woods (we can't believe we have to say this).
3. Please do not leave food or eat in the tent. It may disappoint the ants, but they will host a party in the tent and it is difficult to get them to leave. And, they bite. Hard.
4. Please leave your used towels in the basket by the laundry machines in the common room. No need to strip the bed, we will take care of that.
5. Dispose of your trash and recycling in the proper receptacles by the fence.
6. CLOSE door and all windows when you leave. It is Florida, it could rain in ten minutes through the sunshine and mosquitoes will move in.
