Welcome 3G-Campers!
Welcome to 3G-Camping Retreat
Where Nature, Creativity & Adventure Come Together

Whether you're here for primitive camping, luxury glamping, or one of our themed adventure zones, every stay is tailored to your personal style.
Our property operates as a living research environment powered by The Mushroom Network, LLC, Myco-Emporium, and 3G-Nursery. Guests can witness live gourmet mushroom cultivation, woodland restoration, seasonal foraging areas, and interactive nature features—many created using our expanding 3G-Prints 3D-printing initiative.

⛈️ Hurricane Impact & Resilience
A growing record of the storms we’ve weathered — and the strength we’ve built.
Idalia delivered the most destructive blow our campground has ever endured — massive winds, toppled trees, flooding, and full-site disruption. Trails vanished. Power lines dropped. Access roads were blocked for days.
Yet from that devastation came our greatest expansion: reinforced trails, stronger drainage systems, upgraded campsites, and a long-term resilience plan that reshaped Green Grass Grove forever.
While not a direct hit, Ian brought days of heavy rainfall and strong winds, softening the ground, flooding low areas, and forcing multiple trail closures.
This storm pushed us to elevate key footpaths, improve watershed flow, and reinforce camping zones to better handle prolonged rain events.
Michael sent intense outer bands through our region — ripping limbs, downing small trees, and introducing our first major cleanup season at the Grove.
It became the moment we realized storms weren’t setbacks — they were shaping the land and testing our resolve.
(Each season writes a new chapter)
🌲 Our Campsites
Where each corner of the Grove becomes its own world
Welcome to the diverse realms of 3G-Camping Retreat — a living, evolving sanctuary where every campsite carries its own personality, theme, and story. From cosmic stargazing fields and enchanted woodland clearings to tranquil shaded oases and immersive horror adventures, the Grove is designed to transform each stay into a unique chapter of your journey. Winds may reshape the land, storms may test its strength, but we rebuild stronger, stranger, and more imaginative every season.
🌌 Starfield Campsite (RV/Trailer Site)
Campsite Starfield is the crown jewel of the Retreat — a wide-open sanctuary located in the heart of our central clearing, surrounded by towering trees that frame the night like a cosmic amphitheater. This is our RV/Trailer-designated site (formerly Campsite 4), but all Campers are welcome.
With near-zero light pollution and an expansive open sky, this is our premier stargazing location. The Milky Way cuts across the darkness like a river of light, and meteor showers become an unforgettable spectacle.
As part of our ongoing evolution, especially following Hurricane Idalia, Starfield continues to rise stronger and more stunning — supported by 3G-Prints décor upgrades, artistic features, and a landscape shaped by resilience and imagination.
🌿 3G Mystic Grounds
The Mystic Grounds embody everything that makes 3G-Camping Retreat unforgettable — a blend of natural tranquility, woodland mystery, and creative innovation. Tucked inside the research-driven sanctuary of Green Grass Grove, this site offers access to foraging adventures, primitive camping, themed camp experiences, and mycological exploration.
After Hurricane Idalia reshaped the land, the Mystic Grounds became a symbol of our resilience. Guests may freely choose from 8+ themed areas on a first-come, first-serve basis, turning each visit into a custom adventure.
Thanks to our 3G-Prints Initiative, whimsical décor, fairy garden elements, and experimental woodland designs continue to elevate this site into a living storybook waiting to be explored.
💧 Shaded Oasis of the Grove
Nestled beside a natural well and wrapped in a comforting canopy, the Shaded Oasis offers instant access to our ever-expanding network of woodland trails. This site is ideal for Campers who want peaceful immersion in nature with the convenience of immediate trail proximity.
The Oasis sits at the intersection of tranquility and exploration — offering stillness for those who seek it and adventure for those ready to roam into Green Grass Grove’s deeper wilderness.
Here, the 3G-Prints Initiative continues to enhance the environment with subtle artistic touches, allowing even a quiet campsite to feel enchanted and alive.
🩸 Haunted Woods of Suwannee River
Welcome to our most extreme and infamous experience — the Haunted Woods of Suwannee River. This is not a standard campsite. This is a psychological endurance trial designed to blur the lines between folklore, primal fear, and the unknown forest beyond the firelight.
Most Campers never last until morning. Many don’t make it past the haunted trail. A chosen few press on — only to find the forest watching them back.
Choose the Scared Beyond Encounter add-on if you dare: a custom fear gauntlet featuring isolation sequences, atmospheric effects, unexpected encounters, and narrative-driven psychological tests. Fully safe — but deeply unsettling.
Additional waivers are required. Only recommended for adults and teens with guardian supervision. Those who request to leave will be safely relocated — but the reason they left becomes their legend.
