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. - Ichetucknee Springs - South Entrance - 2.5 mi - North Entrance - 6.7 mi - Branford Spring - 10.3 mi - Oleno/River Rise State Park- 14.3 mi - Little River Springs - 15.2 mi - Rum Island Springs - 16.6 mi - Troy Springs - 16.7 mi - Ruth (Sulfur) Springs - 17 mi - Ginnie Springs - 18.3 mi - Devils Ear Spring - 18.7 mi - Blue Springs - 19.8 mi - Poe Springs - 19.8 mi - Royal Springs - 25.9 mi - Hart Springs - 30.9 mi - Otter Springs - 33.5 mi - Peacock Springs - 32.4 mi - Lafayette Blue Springs - 35.4 mi - Fanning Springs - 35.8 mi - Manatee Springs - 47.9 mi Whatever your reason for getting away, you won’t be disappointed with the natural beauty of this area.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    This campsite by the water is loved for its stunning natural setting and easy access to the Santa Fe and Ichetucknee rivers. Campers appreciate the tranquil environment, wildlife sightings, and the convenience of electric and water hookups. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one highlighted the proximity to the host's house and noise as drawbacks. Guests enjoy the peacefulness, making it a favorite spot for weekend getaways and nature activities.

    Amazing right in the water has nice sink and electric hook up. The water was nice and cold and clear. The best camp spot I’ve found in Florida for cheap too.
