This area was inhabited by indians many years ago and the remnants of their civilization are scattered about in the rivers and land. The Ichetucknee River was named by a tribe of Creek Indians who came down from north Georgia and Alabama, and means "place of the beavers". This area is rich in history and beautiful nature. With over 1/3 acre of dedicated riverfront property on the Santa Fe River, you’ll have all the peace and quiet you can handle in this single spot campsite. The campsite was purpose-built for friends and family who come to visit this slice of paradise we call home. Ideally located in the heart of spring country in North Central Florida, we have over 18 major springs within a 50-mile radius of this location, which allows for all the outdoor exploration and watersports you desire. With tubing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, boating, and fishing available within feet of the campsite, you can stay nearby or venture out to some of the best springs in the world. Boaters – Private boat ramp is 200 yards up the road on the Santa Fe, public boat ramps within 10 miles on the Santa Fe and Suwannee rivers. Tubers – Tube the private section of the crystal-clear Ichetucknee river accessible only by the homeowners via our 3 waterfront parks. Both get-out parks are within walking distance to the campsite for your convenience. Paddlers – Paddle the Santa Fe or Ichetucknee rivers from within the neighborhood, or if the time of year is right, venture up to the Ichetucknee State Park to paddle the head waters and north entrance. This is limited in season and numbers to keep the impact on the river to a minimum. Swimmers – Swim the Santa Fe or Ichetucknee rivers from within the neighborhood via our 9 waterfront parks (6 Santa Fe, 3 Ichetucknee) or venture to either entrance of the Ichetucknee River State Park just a few miles away. Nature lovers – Explore the unspoiled conservation areas within the neighborhood that can be hiked and explored. Setup a hammock and sit by the river and watch all your worries wash away, you may get to see the occasional manatee. Whatever your passion, this campsite accommodates it with electric (50/30/15), water, picnic table, concrete firepit, clothesline and plenty of room to spread out. The neighborhood is golf-cart and UTV friendly and has lots of dirt roads to explore.  The deer can be found quite easily every morning and evening while riding around and rarely run away from the vehicles. Area Springs and Recreation attractions include the following springs and state parks. Google search Florida Springs for more information on each.With over 1/3 acre of dedicated riverfront property on the Santa Fe River, you’ll have all the peace and quiet you can handle in this single spot campsite.

Great hosts and a beautiful and serene spot right on the waters of the Santa Fe River. Minutes aways from several springs so plan your days accordingly. Too much to see and do and so little time but my family and had a wonderful time!

Loved the land because of the waterfront and parks that are close by. If you kayak and camp this is a must stop for running the ichetucknee , Ginnie and many more springs .

Beyond perfect location! Easy walking distance to the Ichetucknee River for tubing, and then a short walk back to do it all over again. We love camping here. It's a peaceful and serene spot for a private camping experience with lots of space. The view of the river in the early morning is always worth waking up to. The hosts are the absolute best on Hipcamp. We will be back.

We really enjoyed our short stay here. It is right on the river and very relaxing. We brought our SUP and paddled around and had a good time around the fire at night. This site is very close to many springs and other river launches so it’s a good location for those activities. Communication with hosts was great and everything was as described.

Amazing campsite on the Santa Fe.
This was such a gem. Right on the Santa Fe River and just a short paddle to the Ichetucknee River. The community was very nice, quiet and safe. Hosts are super generous and friendly. Hookups were awesome, we had water and electric. We enjoyed spending our time paddling the rivers, fishing from the shoreline and hanging out by the fire at night. Our dog was welcomed and the host’s dog was super friendly. We will definitely be going back. Tip to those with trailers or RVs, it’s a short trip to dump at near by state park, O’Leno. We just paid a small dumping fee.
