A pet friendly, off leash, dark skies 6 acre slice of paradise in North Florida on the banks of the Suwannee River. 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, because we only have 1 toilet, 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.

We purchased our 3.39 acres two years ago and all that was on it was a RV and lots of pine trees, palmettos, woods and a small pond in the front of the property. Over those two years we have turned it into our little piece of heaven. We've added two more RV hookups which our son parked his camper on one. We built a fully furnished cook shed and on the back side of it we have an enclosed fish cleaning area. The cook shed also has an enclosed eating area. In addition, we build a full size bath house / laundry room for the convenience of our campers. We cleared out the back of our property and had a large fish pond dug and it is actually spring fed. We have stocked it with all kinds of fish. We have a dock that goes out to the pond and you can stand and feed the fish. If you like to fish you can catch and release. There is also a table and chairs out next to it if you want to sit and relax.Learn more about this land:Quiet 3.39 acres with a RV hookup, two ponds, a separate bathhouse/laundry room on the premises in addition to a cook shed with grills and cookers (propane included) along with fish cleaning station. We have a fire pit available to use (wood included). We're located approximately a mile from the boat ramp and Roy's restaurant where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets. Keaton Beach is just 17 miles from us which has a nice little beach and beautiful scenery.

1 night at Suwannee River Glamping

Janet was so easy to work with! This spot has everything you need and Janet and Jerry made everything all ready with firewood and all! The river is a nice short walk and we really enjoyed fishing and playing in the water. We absolutely loved this spot, we felt so secluded and safe. Our young boys and dogs had so much fun running around. The horseshoes were so fun and the sleeping porch was amazing to have the extra sleeping space. Hope we can have the chance to stay longer and explore more of the beautiful Suwannee River next time!

Great camping spot! If you follow The Crossroads on Facebook you can see what events are happening. There is plenty of space across the property. Rv spots are large and a few with full hookups. Several with just water and power and plenty for tent camping. The whole property is impressive with tons to do. Frank and everyone else out there are super welcoming. We will be back for sure. Thanks Frank for a great weekend.

We really loved our time camping here. I did it solo and with my family of three young daughters, wife and two little dogs. I found that it had everything we needed and I enjoyed the solitude and beauty of the land. I highly recommend it.

This is a great 55+ RV community that was so welcoming and friendly!! It was our first trip out in our RV and we hadn’t anticipated the challenge of backing in the RV but a nice couple out walking helped us get the RV backed in properly so we didn’t have any issues. The hosts were very responsive to texts and calls, super helpful and accommodating! There are several lots for sale in this community but we didn’t find any others on Hipcamp. We did not use any of the amenities but it is a great option to have them available so close. The resort is only a short distance from town so you can run to Walmart, Starbucks, or Bob Evans if you need anything. You are also a short distance from several springs as well. We will definitely be back again!!

Serenity Oasis is the perfect name for this property! Located close to town without the noise. This property has everything you would ever need and Linda is the perfect hostess! There are two ponds for fishing, a fish cleaning house, a screened in dining area and a shared bath house. There’s also a fire pit for making smores at night! This is our favorite vacation spot for the summer.

This spot was so perfect for what we needed. The site is clean and level and the deck provided such a nice spot for morning coffee or relaxing at the end of the day. The pool and hot tub were a nice addition. Laundry was really fairly priced. The cafe had great breakfast and you must get a Whoopie pie from the candy store! This spot is in a park but there are other RVs. Everyone was nice and friendly. Would go back!

I loved camping here so peaceful and serene. The waterfall feature was not on but it was really cool anyhow specially at night with it all lit up. Frank the owner is amazing he met us with a happy greeting gave us the Option of 2 different sites and also let us borrow his 50 to 30 amp plug for our camper because we had forgotten ours. There is a really cool Bar with a pool table and lots of seating and a small restaurant for you to eat there on site. It was an amazing place and can't wait to pass through again. Thank you Frank again for letting us stay there.

Campsite was quiet and peaceful, not crowded. I had water and electrical hookups for my van. Quiet at night even with the biker bar on property. I felt safe staying here. Outdoor showers were great, private, hot water! Bathrooms were clean and blissfully air conditioned!

The waterfall (a grain fall) is from when the railroad used to come through in the 1800's.

Frank the host works hard to keep up his property and is updating it when he can. There are currently about 4 FHU sites available (partially shaded) the others have full-time residents in them. Then there are 10 sites that have water (non-potable) & electric only. These are in a field with little to no shade. They is a ton of primitive campsites and these do provide shade. The restrooms are near the bar barn and the showers are near the FHU sites. The waterfall does not run all the time usually on weekends or for special events. There is NOT a party going on all the time. Some Fridays have a karaoke person in. If you really want to know when there's a big event I suggest you contact the host. Otherwise just enjoy the quiet. If you want to party or be busy Crystal River and Dunnellon are only about 25 minutes away. We happened to be there for a benefit for a local resident who needs a medical procedure. And some good money was raised for him, hope all goes well. Yes there are many motorcycle enthusiasts that make their weekend end trip out to the property.
