Goat House Farm is a Farmher run 501(c)(3) farm in a rural area of Tallahassee on the beautiful Lake Talquin. The farm has its humble beginnings in the summer of 05 with four acres, four goats, and four chickens. Founded on the love of animals and a passion for sustainability, we remain committed to compassionate practices and the most natural care of our land and animals as possible.
As stewards of the land and herd, we believe we have a responsibility to share nature's blessings. We offer several agritourism opportunities on the farm, from farmstays to day visits. It is our goal to create a space where our visitors can have fun and learn about the animals who share that space. We also strive to serve as a valuable resource for first time goat owners. To support that endeavor, we sell chicken eggs, specialty cottage goods, honey, and natural goat milk and honey products. We also sell raw goat milk (for pet consumption only, as per Florida law).
We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in our programming and partners. We welcome all races, abilities, ethnicities, backgrounds, orientations & identities.
$25 - $35 / night
Explore a range of different ecosystems and enjoy the stunning views of Lake Talquin on the 1242-acre Fort Braden Tract. This recreation area features two designated Trailwalker trails and one Trailtrotter trail.
Three hiking trail loops range from 3 to 5 miles in length and are moderately strenuous, with steep inclines and narrow footing in some areas.
Two equestrian trail loops each extend 5 to 6 miles in length. Riders should expect an amazing trail that will include low-water crossings, inclines and winding trails. NOTE: All horses must have proof of current negative Coggins test results when on state lands. All children under the age of 16 are required to wear a protective helmet while riding on state lands.
Primitive campsites for both individual and group camping are available. Campers must obtain a State Forest Use Authorization for overnight camping from the Lake Talquin headquarters on Geddie Road.
Facilities include picnic pavilions and a trail head restroom.

Primitive camping. Used as a hunt camp during general gun season.
We enjoyed our time here. Nice, small campground at edge of lake. Beautiful views. Everyone friendly. Great hiking with huge trail network at Fort Braden on adjacent property but the bummer is that there was way to connect to them from campground due to swamp and geography. As a result, had to drive about 3 miles to trailheads to walk my pups.
Spacious and quiet camping area. Camped here for a weekend in mid-February and there was only one other person here, despite the free campground just down the road being full. Temperatures ranged from the 70s during the day to the low 50s at night. At only $3/night, you can't beat the peace and quiet! These campsites include a metal fire ring and picnic tables. There is also a pit toilet that is surprisingly clean, trash receptacles, and water spigots. The campground is popular as a hunters camp during deer season, and features a boat ramp, so there is some occasional fishing traffic through the grounds. Only downside is that most of the fire rings seem to double as garbage cans by other campers as they are leaving, despite the nearby receptacles. So expect to pick up someone else's trash before you can build a fire. Otherwise, the campground is very clean.
RiverLanding is the cleanest, friendliest, and most beautiful park. Nestled along the banks of the Apalachicola River, it is just a beautiful site to see. Staff and owners are very kind and helpful. I recommend this park 10/10! Hands down one of the best I have ever been to! Don't miss out and stop by if your ever in the Panhandle area of Florida. You will not be disappointed!
The last 2 miles of the entry road is unpaved. There are 2 areas next to each other for dispersed camping. About 10-15 campers total when we were there. Some people look like they live there (chain link fences). Quiet. Port-a-potty but didn’t use it.
I’m a tent camper. The CG isn’t very big and the sites are close to each other but fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be too popular and there was only one other camper besides me so it was fine. This place is used mostly as a boat launch into the river (no nature trails or much to do really). Port o potty like toilets but no showers, water, or electricity, very basic camping. The host is a very laid back nice man. Quite affordable at $10 night. Good for a short quiet stay.
10 campsites all fairly spacious (too big for just me as I am solo tent camping). CG overlooks a small lake. Nice open day use waterfront area. Swimming area as well. The lake has a hiking trail encircling it. Showers had hot water, I was surprised. 2 mi dirt road to get to it. I recommend.

Nice spot for a quick getaway from city life. It’s near hunting and lots of road noise from the nearby bridge but overall it’s a nice overnight getaway from the daily grind. There’s toilets and a non potable spigot to clean off personal items.
Very pleasant with a lakeside view. Our site didn’t have any shade but the adjoining site, with friends, had plenty. Sites were absolutely level with gravel. Plenty of room between and little noise. The only drawback was that the bathrooms were up and over the hill and road. But they were clean. Boat ramp is just down the road. If you want to bike, be warned that this area of Georgia/Florida has hills! Finally, it is in the eastern time zone with the dividing line in the middle of the lake.
You have to love the lonelyness here. On the weekend there have been three other parties with tents. From Sunday to Monday we have been the only ones. Then it becomes really lonely, dark and quiet out here. Some fishermen are using the fishing pier or the boat ramp at the end of the campground. The campground itself was clean and well maintained. (We did not use the toilet house. And did not check that.) No power, no water, no WiFi, no store. T-Mobile was very good with 300+ Mbps. The last 3 miles are dirt road, but in good condition as long as you can stay in the middle without traffic. Our lot #5 was pretty even. Overall definitely a recommendation if you like the quiet nature and lonelyness.
We were evacuated, hurricane Milton, and found this as the last place that had a place only four of the spots have electrical. It’s very very backwards, camping, huge mosquitoes, huge bugs, alligators in the lake, bear boxes and bear meat racks, the road to it is terrible very very bumpy like driving over a river. You need to be almost in an off-road SUV vehicle to get to it and it’s 2 miles… Once you get there it’s just downright scary! The only good thing that we found out out of this is that there is an unknown RV park 10 miles down the road off of Bristol called River Landing RV park because they’re not listed on any of the pages so far we didn’t find them. But you can look them up online. I don’t know if I’ll be allowed to post their link here but if so, here it is. https://riverlandingrvpark.com/ Even the host of the other place sent us here
I truly believe that it is the soul of the RV Park that makes it wonderful. The owners and managers of this park are absolutely incredible. The most accommodating kindest, most friendly people I have ever run across in all of the travels I’ve done which is many and my RV! This place has not been on the map before it is new and it has only had about a month in operating at this location. I kind of accidentally ended up here when being evacuated from hurricane Milton in Clearwater and somebody else from another campground that turned out to be a bust suggested we go here because it was an unknown location. Well Joanie, the owner was packed, but she fit us in anyway she made a parking space she created a connection. She figured out how to get water to us and welcomed us with food and music. The park inside has tables and chairs and little beautiful hanging lights a big fire pit and a really nice bathhouse with laundry room… We were instantly welcomed and various churches brought over food to all the campers here who had been evacuated from their homes… the place is beautiful and clean and sits on the prettiest river the Apalachicola river. It’s pet friendly and lots of dogs and kids with a big bounce house for the kids to play on guys came over from churches with guitars and played music just a wonderful place to beif you’re on your way back down to Florida evacuating run don’t walk to this campground because there’s lots of space here that is unfilled at the moment just because she isn’t well known.
Very nice rv park for only 15 dollars with the senior parks pass
What a great place! It’s a little close together but with the very long and spacious outdoor area near the water, it makes up for it. Great staff and communication during the reservations and after.
clean, naturally and quiet
no wlan and bad mobil connection
restrooms are o.k.
the laundrystation is not good
rangers are super and nice
visit the Gregory House and make a guided tour !!!
The campground was a really nice spot in the state park. Everyone was very friendly. The camp host went around to check on all new arrivals. We stayed in spot 13 and the circuit kept tripping. Both the camp host and ranger from the check in jumped right on the issue and let us use an adapter. Our spot was right on the river. There were places to sit and watch the alligators and boats. The bathrooms were very clean. We will definitely come back if we are in the area.
Nice campground. Helpful staff at check-in. It has a nice pool and is on the beach. Access is across Route 98, but the traffic was minimal. There is some road noise at site#39, but it is not bad. Level site, full hooks, cable TV, and good internet speeds. Getting the RV positioned was a little tricky. While the site is long enough, the sewer connection is closer to the front of the site, so we could not park at the back. We had to be positioned to reach the sewer connection and work our rear slide around a large palm tree. Site 39 backs up to the pool and park office. At busier times, there may be a lot of people traffic, but not during our stay. Also note that there are no firepit or grills provided at the site. You must have your own grill. We enjoyed our five-night stay here. IGA grocery store in Carrabelle is the closest. Fathom’s Steam Room and Raw Bar is an old Florida open-air restaurant and bar with live music. There is a small dog park in the resort. Lots to explore in the area: Carrabelle, Eastpoint, St George Island, Lighthouse, and State Park, Tate’s Hell State Forest, Crooked River Lighthouse, or just relaxing by the pool or on the beach.
The name of this resort is wrong in the Dyrt app. It's Carrabelle RV Resort. We stopped here for a few nights while traveling and exploring Florida. The resort was nice. Our site was #18. We could see the beach from our spot. The bathrooms were clean. Everyone there was super friendly. They had a nice size pool but I didn't use it. We found a museum .02 miles away and crooked lighthouse to explore.
This campground is so pretty! I think we have the best spot because we’re in the shade for about half of the day. The lake is really pretty and relaxing to sit by. The bathhouses are a bit on the older side, I know funding is not there to do much. We have a big, beautiful tree behind out site that we sat under. There was a nice breeze coming off the lake and it was great (even though it’s 94° out). The camp host came over to us the next day after we arrived and gave us great info about things to do and see around here. That was so very nice! We rode our bikes to the dam and then to the park that’s on the other side of the bridge.
We do need to talk about that huge hill getting down to the campground. Holy moly. I’m from southern Florida and we don’t have those near us. 🤣 It was intimidating to say the least. lol
Yes, we use the showers at the campground because we have kids and we like to spread out in a shower. Plus we don’t want to fill up our tank, go dump and then hook back up. That’s our preference and that’s what we like to do.
This cg is a great small one. It has three small loops. We stayed in loop A. It’s basically on the water. Big spacious sites, 50 amp, and water. Very clean cg and camp hosts very friendly. Several roads coming in were very steep down, but manageable with our 38 ft coach. Some trees in loop A. Restroom very outdated, but one in loop C is better. We road our bikes to the dam. Great time! FREE LAUNDRY!
Nice big sites, excellent hosts, very clean. Would definitely return.
Small, well maintained park and sites, with 30/50 amp and water hook ups. A pleasant surprise when we arrived, after miles of rural driving! GPS took us the correct way, but seemed we were lost! Staff greeted us at entrance, gave us a map and explained how to get to our site. It was raining, and our site was back-in and downhill, mostly level with gravel, a picnic table, has a fire-ring with grill grate. Bathhouse is clean and impressed how the trash area and dump station were placed away from campers. The dock/pier, and boat ramp, are at the back part of the campground, The amenities are nice and there is outdoor cleaning sink behind the bathhouse, sitting area overlooking the river, the fish cleaning station, fire pit area, trails, and canoe/kayak drying area. 3 concrete sites, as well as tent sites. Lots of spacing between most of the sites, some are waterfront. Wildlife is plentiful and the trails are a great way to enjoy it all! We will come back! And it’s only $20 a night!
All in all, we thought it was a pretty nice campground! We stayed in a tent at site 16 which was on the edge facing Lake Talquin and had electrical hookups, a water faucet, and picnic table. There was even a light pole that could be turned off at night if desired. The campground also provided a potable water station, bathrooms, shower (a bit dated but clean), and dumpsters. There are also multiple docks, 2 with benches, and a few to tie boats or kayaks off at. All the camp sites seemed to have gravel pads…The only downfall to our particular campsite was that it butted right up to the landing parking lot and a dock which has fairly heavy traffic. But it was also nice to see an FWC officer make their rounds one of the nights we stayed. Another downside was that the dumpster close by was emptied by a garbage truck at 5am Tuesday morning which wasn’t the best alarm clock. What was a nice alarm clock was the camp rooster that had been there a few years and drops by to say hello each day. We scoped out other sites for when we return!
I stayed two nights June 26-27 2019. The campground is very nice, small and quiet. The staff came around to check on us but was not a bother. The bathrooms are clean, running hot and cold water and paper. The bugs were bad even though we used spray and candles. It is a great quiet campground. Better in the cooler months.
The campground for the most part is beautiful period there are a few pull through camp sites that can be difficult with a long trailer. It seems to be quite a few small bugs around here. But I haven't got bitten yet so I didn't think they are the biting kind. The only major complaint I would have is that restrooms aren't kept very clean.
Out of the way small park with nice campspots and great bathroom. A nice quiet getaway. Our spot had view of lake.
Stayed here last year and fell in love with the park! Woke up every morning to a gorgeous view of the water. Owners are sweet people and very proud of their park.
