RV camping near Chiefland

Chiefland, Florida may not sit directly on the coast, but it overlaps with Florida’s Nature Coast—and leaves plenty to be discovered. After all, there’s a reason Chiefland calls itself the "Gem of the Suwannee Valley," though you’ll want to visit for yourself to understand why. Luckily, Chiefland RV sites make year-round camping not only possible but also easy. Head south of Suwannee River State Park and west of Gainesville to Levy County. From your RV site with full hookups, picnic tables, and a firepit, you’ll have your pick of pristine beaches, state forests, and state parks. Need we say more? While Chiefland RV campsites can surely accommodate campers rain or shine, it’s best to plan your getaway for the cooler months. Come winter, manatees make an appearance at Manatee Springs State Park and turn Chiefland into an aquatic paradise. Once you park your RV, grab your binoculars and spring into action.

Peaceful Suwannee River Camping

1. Peaceful Suwannee River Camping

30mi from Chiefland · 13 sites · Tents, RVs

A quiet, spacious campground with Suwannee River access — intentionally limited, never crowded. Set on over 60 acres along the Suwannee River, this historic property (formerly known as Suwannee River Cove) is under new ownership and being thoughtfully restored and reimagined as Oaken River. Towering oak trees — some hundreds of years old — provide shade, character, and a peaceful sense of place throughout the grounds. While RV sites are set back from the river for privacy and space, guests enjoy the riverfront experience through shared common areas by the water, including a lanai, firepit, fountain area, and oak-shaded gathering spots. A private boat ramp on the property allows guests to easily launch kayaks and small watercraft. River levels vary seasonally, and at times the ramp is best suited for hand-launched or paddle craft. The Suwannee River region is known for its natural beauty and access to multiple freshwater springs and state parks, many within a 10–45 minute drive. Wildlife is part of daily life here — deer are frequently seen on the property, along with birds and other native species. We intentionally open a limited number of RV sites to preserve quiet, space, and the natural landscape. During our soft-opening phase, guests enjoy founding-season pricing while final improvements continue — an opportunity to experience a special place before it becomes widely known. What’s available: • Full RV hookups (35/50 amp, water, sewer) • Newly renovated, premium bathhouse • River access with nearby sandy beach and a private boat ramp • Large oak canopy, stargazing, and peaceful nights • 50+ acres of wooded land to explore, with natural trails and expanding access throughout the forest • Family-friendly, low-density environment Soft-opening note: Some areas are still being improved and you may notice unfinished landscaping near certain sites. This does not affect safety, hookups, or comfort and is reflected in opening-season pricing. A good fit if you value space, quiet, nature, and a campground designed around quality rather than quantity. Not a good fit if you expect resort-style landscaping everywhere or a party-focused environment. Our philosophy: Great campgrounds are defined by how they feel, not how many sites they contain.

Scallop Tyme RV Campground was once an abandoned camp covered in worthless Sand Pines. There was a cabin and sheds in the center surrounded by chain link fence topped with barbwire. The timber was donated and used to fuel nearby electric plants. Once the four acres was cleared and cleaned, the idea of a RV campground started. During the early onset of Covid, my family remained in our adjacent camp because there was no Covid in the area and plenty of Covid at home. Cleaning and clearing the acreage gave us something to do. While cleaning the old, abandoned camp site inside the chain link fence; we found an old boat and motor, a Kawasaki motorcycle, and numerous civil war and Vietnam war memorabilia. The campground was opened in June 2020. Learn more about this land: Keaton Beach county boat ramp is 2 miles away. This area is known for great scalloping in the summer, red fish and trout year around. There are several guides in the area for your fishing or snorkeling pleasure. Amenities include fish cleaning table, BBQ grill, fire ring, and picnic table at each site.  Plenty of room to park your boat. Most of the RV sites are shaded. Sites 1, 2, and 5 are 50 amp. Sites 3 and 4 are 30 amp.

My father bought the property next door to the RV site over 30 yrs ago. After his passing, my husband and I acquired the property. We initially were going to be snowbirds and make this our winter vacation home. After much thought and many winters in PA, we decided to sell our home in PA and make the move south. It was a difficult decision to leave our family, friends and what was comfortable to us. About 3 years after our move, our neighbor asked if we were interested in his property. My husband Jeff and I discussed it and thought it would be a great idea to have a little more land. To make a long story short, that land somehow became Paradise Park River Retreat. My husband and I love this area and wanted to share it with other people who love being outdoors. We hope you'll come and visit Old Pine Landing and see the beauty and uniqueness that our little piece of paradise has to offer.

Weekend Trip to The Hatch Bend Hideaway RV Place

Great spot for me & my two boys. Plenty of space to run around & play games, new horseshoe pit was great. The property is so well kept. The lights on the trees & the stairs were great at night. So much provided like fire pit, grill, chairs, etc. Favorite part was fishing & swimming from the pier. My boys said, Capt C was one of the happiest, nicest people they have ever met, and I would agree. We will be back...in the fall...when it cools off. Lol. Thanks for a great weekend!

It backs right up to a tree covered and paved bike trail which was so much fun to ride! We used our ebikes but he had 2 bikes for our adult friends and even went out of his was to get a child's bike for their 10 yr old! We also visited Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings State Park which was so interesting. We shook tangerines and oranges from the trees stayed for the fascinating tour of her home. We took full advantage of his big smoker and had great food, built fires and toasted marshmallows! If you are on the fence about this property, dont be. Go! You will love it. ❤️

7 nights at Paradise Park and River Retreat

This site was perfect for us. It is a hook up for one camper full hook up, worked great. The river launch was a short walk away, and we were able to fish on a little dock. The river cat fish tasted awesome. The host Lisa and Jeff were top-notch. Communicated very promptly with us. although it says it’s in a neighborhood. The houses are very spread out and we never had a sense of feeling crowded at all.. We were able to swim in the springs a couple of miles away. There’s a cute town with a bait shop and a very good little restaurant. We ate breakfast there almost every day. We cooked over our campfire in the evening and Jeff and lisa provided us with great seasoned firewood. We would come here again.

Weekend Trip to The Hatch Bend Hideaway RV Place

The Hatchbend was the perfect getaway! Spacious, private, and right on the side of the river, couldn’t get much better! We will definitely be back!

Quiet, private site. Friendly, safe neighborhood. Level site. Good hookups. Near the Suwannee River. Love sitting out on the neighborhood dock which is just a couple blocks away. Jeff and Lisa are outstanding hosts. Stayed twice, and enjoyed both times. Will stay again, if in the area.

3 nights at Neal’s Nest

The location is great! Very neat and tidy grounds. A nice community area with a fire pit basketball hoop badminton nicely lit at night. The bathroom was nice. The bathroom was nice except for they don’t supply toilet paper, hand soap or a towel towels dry your hands so bring your own stuff in there. Otherwise the shower was nice. There is a washer and dryer there. We didn’t use it. There’s an extra fee to use it. There’s only four sites. It’s a nice private area. It’s a large fenced area with a gate and you need a gate code to get in. All in all I would recommend Neal’s nest and we would stay there again if ever in the area. Also I wanted to mention a restaurant close by called Off The Beet. They have extremely delicious food. I believe it’s in Trenton.

We stopped here last minute on a through trip and it was a great location just off highway so we didn’t have to go far off our route. However it was secluded and gated property! Very clean and setup easy. Host was very responsive and welcoming!
