Ichetucknee Campsite Fort White, FL
What a beautiful site to camp! It is secluded and peaceful and also offers many amenities. We loved having such a big fenced in area for our two dogs to run around and explore. It kept them exercised and content. There is plenty of open space for sun as well as woods and trees surrounding the site for privacy. It must be beautiful in the spring and summer when the trees are full. It was convenient having our camper under the covered pad, considering we had rain the majority of our time there. That didn’t keep us from having a relaxing stay and taking advantage of the site. Great trip!

Amazing location!
Diana’s location is absolutely beautiful! I came with my family and two dogs and could not have asked for a better experience. Her spot is cozy, welcoming, and convenient for anyone looking to go to Ichetuknee Springs. It’s a very short drive and easy to get to. Diana’s property also has so many fun amenities to make your experience even better. We will definitely be coming back!

Too much surveillance
My family of four stayed for Thanksgiving. It is a peaceful, beautiful location. I was a bit shocked to see there was a house in the center, feet from the RV pad , that was not in the description or photos. It was empty, but unexpected. The property had surveillance cameras. Not pointed at the house or valuables (kayaks, bikes) but at all of the "camping" locations (fire pit, picnic tables and directly at our RV from feet away). We could not open the RV curtains because the cameras were feet away pointed at it. Anywhere we were, we were being potentially watched and listened to. There were also very bright motion lights all throughout the yard, which go on even while sitting at the fire. There is a flood light which shines on the RV pad all night. I suppose some people may appreciate the lighting, but it certainly took away the camping feel for me. None of the 5 bikes worked but we had tools and lubricant and got 2 running. Even with the air pump, the other 3 had flat tires. It is also important to note the rivers, which are stunning, are far enough away (a mile or more)that you need a truck or roof rack to get the kayaks there. Overall we had a great time on the river, but our time at the site felt like being in a fishbowl.

Great campsite!!!
I loved tent camping at Manatee Ranch! Every and any thing we needed was there. Really awesome set up! Well lit. Very private and secure. My dog loved roaming around! Also enjoyed the key for the private parks around the neighborhood.

Great spot to hook up our travel trailer for a few days while enjoying the springs! Property is clean and you can tell the hosts take care to keep everything well maintained. Our pups loved being able to roam and explore the fenced in property. We will absolutely be back!
