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.

Fishing welcome in the pond. Double digit bass, 2 pound bream possible. Boat available, $20 a day. Life jackets required, $5 per jacket rental. Missing jacket or boat, we bill you $500. Please release carp as unharmed as possible. Other fish you can keep or release.
**DO NOT HARM THE OAK TREE NEXT TO THE POND. **If you need firewood, go around the pond into the woods and pick up any limbs you see. If you choose to go in the woods in deer season, please check at house first to see if anyone is in a stand and where.
This is a working farm. You may and hear see tractors, trailers, workers and irrigation systems. The irrigation sounds are actually soothing at night. Do not take any produce from the fields without permission. Check at the house first.

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.
RangerThis 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.
LegendThis 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!

Really liked this campground, I would return. Nice walking trails And you can also kayak down the river. Bathrooms are clean and kept up. I stayed in site 9 - it was a pull thru and very shady with a nice area in the back. Would choose that site again. Did put up the screen over the table as the gnats are fierce. Mosquitoes were there but not that bad
LegendSmall, 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!
ScoutI 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.
Guide
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.
GuideOut of the way small park with nice campspots and great bathroom. A nice quiet getaway. Our spot had view of lake.

The Campground just opened in December of 2023. The owners are great people and go out of thier way to help you out. The site we stayed in was level left and right but had to lower the front end to level front to back. The pad had a bit of a drop off at the back so the owner had us park toward the front. We stayed 3 nights while visiting family in the area. There is a nice open area that families were enjoying when we arrived. Good laundry facilites. Cabins are available if you are not camping with an RV. Some sites are shorter than others so just make sure your rig will fit the site. There is a store on site and shower facilities if needed. They have a 2 mile hiking path which looked nice and a small pond. I woudl stay here again in the future.
TravelerThe city has updated this campground. All sites are w/e with dump on site and large gravel pad. Back in and pull through are available on first come, first served basis. Some sites right beside the river. Playground for children. Rate: $35.00 self registration. No one onsite. Easy in/out for all size rigs on newly paved road. Paved walking or biking trails. Great in town location.

We needed a one night stop & this was perfect. Made our reservations online the day before. Host called me the next morning to confirm arrival time. Hosts were very kind, and escorted us to our site. Site was big, level, and pull through with full hookups. Long term rigs were kept pretty clean as I could tell. We didn’t use any facilities so have no comment on those.

Mixed feelings about this campground. It has too many sites too close together, but if few people are there it is peaceful. We stayed on a weeknight. Several people used the boat ramp, but only one other camper. So the night was quiet. I could see how it could be well used for day picnics and fishing and could become quite noisy. The boat ramp is separated from the camp a bit, and it was not noisy.
Not much view of lake from sites, but the lake is pretty from the fishing pier and boat launch. A bit of trash in some sites but not too bad. I'm guessing someone does not come and check on this site every day. We were in a van and did not try the pit toilets.
It is about 3 miles from the main road, one mile of speed bumps, two of dirt, but it is level and well packed.
ScoutWe stayed 2/5/24-2/9/24. The camp host were very nice and accommodating. The campground itself is very clean and quiet. Bathroom and showers are some of the cleanest I’ve ever been in at a campground. If you looking for a peaceful get away on the lake this is your place!
ScoutMy family and I stayed here our first night with a camper without any camping experience. The facilities were great and hooking up was a breeze! I will be going back for a more extended stay but we just wanted to spend a night away with our new camper for this one.
GuideVery quiet. Camp hosts are great. Though the campsites are moderately spaced, they are spacious within themselves for maneuvering. No WiFi; AT&T was 1 or 2 bars. Couple of tips: (1) sites 23, 24, and 25 have concrete slabs, the rest are gravel; and (2) sites 02 and 03 are at the low end of the campground and receive drainage from a culvert. There is a hefty drainage ditch that could carry water away, and we had no problem at site 02 even though it rained all night, but still something to keep in mind if you’re visiting during or after after a deluge.
TravelerWe stayed here recently while visiting the US from the UK. When we arrived the host was really welcoming. I can’t remember the site number we originally booked but he offered alternatives that were also available if we wanted to change it. It’s such a lovely setting, we sat on the fishing dock until the mozzies spotted us and watched a gator chilling out on the lake. The sites are well looked after and the showers were decent. We would definitely visit again if we were in the area.
ScoutBeautiful campground. Many waterfront site, mostly all spacious and relatively flat. Be aware though that the crushed gravel pad base can allow your jacks to settle too far down. We have snap pads but even these sank to the point that one of our jacks had to be dug out. Had to use a Mobil Mechanic. Otherwise, beautiful, peaceful, view of the dam and lake outside our windows. Large level grassy areas with great shade trees. Some sites, like ours, would be great for solar…others had good shade. Amazingly very few bugs, and an almost constant breeze.
TravelerThis campground was a great value at $24. We only stayed one night. Very clean facilities.
ScoutSmall campsites but it's a small campground. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. 2 out house style restrooms. Cleaned weekly. Took a long dirt road to get back to campground and got lost 1st time going in. Have stayed there twice since I have family living in Tallahassee. Once in spring and once in fall. Found tics on me both times so beware. Chiggers got on me too. That's just camping in the woods. Will definitely be making future trips back.
LegendSite 35 FHU 50 amp All shade Pull through
Excellent site and park! They have mini golf, swimming g, boating, biking and hiking! So much to do. Extremely clean rest rooms, showers, and laundry.
GuideWe didn't know much about the area before going but we were pleasantly surprised by the park. The sites were nice and spacious. Most were gravel, but flat. The camp host was super helpful. The office is only open from 9am to 9:30am, and 4pm to 4:30pm, but the front gate will give directions. Bugs were annoying, but not enough to skip the park!
RangerGreat little quiet clean place. Staff is very friendly.

We had such a fun time camping at the goat farm. Where you literally camp with goats. The male goats hang out right beside you and your tents. (Be sure to keep your tents closed or they will sleep with you too, ha!) The kids absolutely loved it. They cried when it was time to leave and told all the animals bye. The staff is so friendly and helpful. We would love to go and stay there again!
LegendJust stopping for the night, arrived at dusk. Super friendly and helpful staff. Lovely site. Fairly close so not much privacy. 50 amp - not sure if there is sewer hookup - too many bloody mosquitoes so hooked up electric and went inside as I have water onboard. Did not need to unhook 5th wheel.
