We trailer out to a 3,000 acre preserve typically. If the preserve is closed we do the rides on the levee on beautiful Lake Okeechobee. Either way you get to experience two hours with our wonderful horses! Due to COVID 19 we are doing our part for social distancing by having our customers meet us at the site. Once there it is easy to maintain the distance rule in the fresh air and sunshine! The address to the Bluefield Natural Area is 30501 Bluefield Road.

Found this place on Groupon, didn’t even know it existed in our small town. We had a great time and can’t wait to do their next room!! Staff was super friendly and would recommend this to anyone looking for some family fun or just a great time with friends.

The park is extremely peaceful and quiet. There seems to be a constant breeze blowing across the prairie from the east into the campground. Sites are mostly under beautiful shady oak trees. These two things make it very comfortable to sit outside during the day. At night the dark skies make star viewing wonderful. The bath house is the cleanest of any Florida state park we have visited. It is attended to multiple times daily, top notch!

One of my favorite places to stop! It's a small little place filled with big surprises! An amazing staff that you can tell loves each and every animal on site! All of the animals were well taken care of, and they even brought out a baby deer and a baby otter for us to see (which I loved!!) This is a great time for family and a learning experience all wrapped up in one you can't beat it!
