Located on the Suwannee River, the campground sits on 62 acres of beautiful nature. My brother and I got the property in April of 2017. The place used to be a campground and also on the property is a restaurant. The place was very popular, but unfortunately somehow it got closed. Now we brought it back to life and we are ready to welcome everyone to come and enjoy this beautiful peace of property on the Suwannee.

I had a great experience, it was exactly what my soul needed. A disconnect from the world and re-connection with nature. The cabin was very clean, comfortable and had all we needed for our stay. Thank you!

We absolutely loved Bowman’s Landing. Everything we could ask for in a spot (and then some) and we are already planning a return trip.
Perfect location for exploring the area.

This was such a cute stay. The hosts were so helpful and met us when we got there to show us where all the amenities were. They had a campfire ready for us with stuff for s’mores in the fridge. The late night shower with the tiki torch under the stars was really a highlight experience. It was a really fun little getaway!

I loved the cabin and the property. There were people around enough to point us in the right direction for the bathroom but still we had the place to ourselves. We were dreaming of the next time we could go back on the car ride home.

We loved the place! Everything was clean, both the bedroom and the shower were super clean and everything was comfortable. Location is perfect, close to a lot of activities. My daughter had a blast with the chickens, she really enjoyed collecting eggs, she ate more than usual! Recommended 100%, either you want is as a base camp to explore the zone or to hang in there in the nature, the place is amazing!

We had an amazing stay at Little Lulu. The RV was clean, cozy, and had everything you could possibly need. The host was super kind, helpful, and respectful of privacy, which made the stay even better. Being able to grab fresh eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast was such a unique touch. We made s’mores, roasted hot dogs, and enjoyed a peaceful night under the stars. The friendly orange kitty was the cherry on top. We couldn’t have asked for a better time and will definitely be back.

We stayed in cottage, it was very sweet and cozy. The hosts live onsite and were very kind and welcoming to us and our pup. Very dog friendly! We were provided with all the small comforts and amenities you’d find at any fine hotel, plus some sweet personal touches like a fire pit and access to an outdoor shower and fresh eggs from the chickens. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Weekend Trip to Serene Forested Blueberry Farm
This was an amazing little gem! The owners were amazing! They greeted us as soon as we arrived and showed us around the property! They checked in on us throughout our stay and provided some extra firewood as we needed it! There were chickens running around and we were able to have fresh eggs in the mornings! We were able to set up a tent to accommodate some extra guests and we brought our pup who loved the property! We made some incredible meals and the camper has all the cookware, dinnerware, and seasonings you need! They also left us stuff to make s’mores! We really enjoyed the outdoor shower and the bathroom was surprisingly clean! We will definitely be back and we would definitely recommend!

Absolutely incredible stay! The Treehouse Cabin Retreat exceeded every expectation the perfect mix of comfort and nature. The cabin and treehouse are spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need, from kitchen essentials to comfy bedding. The property is peaceful, surrounded by towering trees and the soothing sounds of nature.
We loved the outdoor shower under the stars, the firepit for s’mores, and the hammocks for lazy afternoons. It’s close to the Suwannee River and crystal-clear springs, which made day trips for swimming and kayaking so easy. The host was responsive, kind, and made everything simple from start to finish.
If you’re looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy a unique glamping experience this place is pure magic. We’re already planning to come back!

We had such a great stay in this camper! Everything was thoughtfully prepared and made the experience really special. The host had it well-stocked with everything we needed, plus some extra touches like firewood and s’mores supplies that made evenings by the fire perfect.
One of the highlights was the chicken coop on site — we loved being able to collect fresh eggs in the morning. The camper itself was cozy, clean, and comfortable, with all the essentials ready to go.
The setting was peaceful and quiet, and at night the stars were absolutely incredible. It felt like the perfect balance of comfort and connection to nature.
We’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, and we’d love to come back again!

The best river, stream, or creek glamping near High Springs guide
Where to go
O'Leno State Park & River Rise
A few miles north of High Springs, O’Leno State Park offers excellent fishing along the Santa Fe River, challenging anglers to reel in large-mouth bass and sunfish. The park’s 11 miles of hiking and biking trails connect with the River Rise Preserve State Park trail system, providing chances to spot wildlife like deer, turkey, and wild rabbits. The park has both primitive and well-appointed RV campsites with electrical hookups in a pet-friendly setting. It also hosts festivals year-round with live music, food vendors, and activities for the whole family.
Ichetucknee Springs State Park
Enjoy tubing down the Ichetucknee River year-round at Ichetucknee Springs State Park. Tubers can bring their own inflatables or rent them within the park. Float from Midpoint Launch to Dampier’s Landing, then use the concession tram service or hiking trail to return to the parking lot. Or, paddle down the river in canoes and kayaks, spotting wading birds, river otters, and manatees in their natural wetland habitat. Experienced swimmers will enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving at Blue Hole Spring, exploring underwater caves among warm cyan waters shared by turtles and fish.
Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park
With diverse wildlife and scenic landscapes, Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park offers terrific opportunities to reconnect with nature. Wild horses and bison freely roam expansive prairies, while hundreds of bird species fill the trees and skies. Follow the LaChua Trail to the 50-foot observation tower for panoramic views of wet prairie and marsh habitats. Then set up at one of the park’s back-in RV sites with 30-amp electric hookups. Most can accommodate RVs up to 58 feet in length. The well-shaded campground also houses tents and provides accessible hot showers, restrooms, and ranger-led campfire programs from November to February.
When to go
Florida summers near High Springs can be hot and humid, with temperatures rising well into the 90s. Spring and fall are enjoyable times of the year to go camping—not just for the milder weather. Migratory birds like swallow-tailed kites with their impressive aerial acrobatics nest in the area during spring. Bass, bluegill, and crappie tend to be more active during spring and fall too, making for excellent fishing opportunities.
