In 1990 the State of Florida banned logging within 1,000 feet of the Suwannee River so Southeast Timberlands sold off it's holdings and we were lucky enough to purchase 6 acres and 444 feet of riverfront. A designated "Pristine Scenic Waterway" with very steep banks, the Suwannee is one of the few"wild" rivers left in the United States and can rise over 30 feet to flood stage almost overnight; yet due to its unique topography we can access it no matter how high or low the water. The Forest Service has bought up the surrounding lots, creating a 10 mile Conservation corridor supporting the National Scenic Florida Trail, it's clearly marked footpaths and natural attractions. To that end, we have left the old growth upland forest the way we found it. The campsite is a natural feature as is the Zen deck and canoe launch, a swale draining the ridge. The campsite is level, the lane to the river slopes gently dropping in elevation 20 feet over 1,000 in making it easy for able bodied guests to navigate their way to the white sugar sand beach. We want to share our retreat with those who are looking for a real wilderness experience in an exclusive private setting. A Waiver of Liability is required by all guests as the Wilderness is an inherently dangerous place. We only offer one accommodation per weekend with a maximum of 8 people so our guests can have the seclusion they desire and be free to enjoy the natural wonder of the woodland experience in any manner they choose.

Great spot for families!
What an awesome camping spot! We LOVED letting our pup roam freely—and our kids had an excellent time. “Best trip ever!” Jerry was an excellent help, too; friendly, accommodating, welcoming. It truly was a trip to remember! NOTE: while the site was quite pest-free, we did experience a ton of ticks (mainly on our pup) through the woods. Prepare yourself! We WILL be back!

Dogs LOVED it
The dogs loved running around and exploring. They set up a little kitchen for us, which made cooking super easy. Nice hikes around the river. Would definitely return!

My boyfriend and I had a great time camping. Janet was a great host and Jerry gave us a tour of the property and checked on us daily to make sure we had everything we needed. The property was amazing with access to launch our kayaks and a miles of hiking trails adjacent to the property. We camped in august, so having power for our fans was a huge plus. A cold shower after a hot day was definitely welcomed. We kayaked and hiked the trails near the campsite. We didn’t see a single person, with the exception of Jerry, the entire stay. The screened in porch and covered patio area were great places to spend the evening relaxing. We will definitely be back!!

Private, good for large groups
Private location for campers needing electric hookup. They provide outdoor shower and bathroom, grill.. For extra 25, they will provide, outside sink, microwave, hotplate. The Suwannee River was way too low to use the canoe launch. You could use it to put your kayaks in, but not realistic to get them or yourself out at this location. Upon the advice of the hosts, we did purchase tick repellent. Our dogs had the Seresto collars already. I did find 2 ticks on myself. We did kayak from the Suwannee River canoe outpost around 7 miles from the camp. It's $2 per kayak.

Suwannee River Glamping
Phenomenal camping experience! The campsite is remote and safe and even has nice touches like outdoor fireplace with comfy seating and an outdoor camp kitchen that includes microwave, fridge and coffee maker. My dog and I set up a tent and enjoyed the peaceful night breezes. We hiked many shaded miles thru property and adjoining state land and my pup loved swimming in the Suwannee River. Jan is friendly and welcoming. Great place for families or a girl's group trip as it is one group at a time. Bring the pups they love the freedom to explore.

Best Florida Campsite Ever!
First time "glamping" and definitely worth it! Even though it was a cold, rainy weekend we stayed dry and had an amazing time thanks to the woodstove, pole barn, and screened porch. Janet was super communicative and Jerry made sure we had plenty of wood and anything else we needed. Amazing hiking along the Suwanee, really a magical place. Thanks again for everything!
