I am not a campground with multiple sites. When you cancel last minute you're hurting my biz as well as those that could've booked. No last minute cancellations!

Enjoy the Springs!
Conveniently located for many activities. The host was willing and ready to offer advice and encouragement to enjoy the area. Arriving self contained makes for a more comfortable stay. Come enjoy Rainbow Springs.

Very convenient to Rainbow River and Rainbow Springs State Park. Great for 20' or less RV's. A little difficult backing in at night. Would be easier if the palm tree out front was removed (may not be allowed due to local tree removal regulations however), but still very doable. Very nice and welcoming host. Had a small fire going for us upon our arrival. Some well thought out amenities.

Quiet camping
Nice quiet spot close to rainbow river. Outdoor shower and sink for dishes. Gravel camp surface so be prepared for that if tent camping.
