Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Moonlit Avenue

Sharon and her campsite are exceptional! There is ample space for a group and secluded for two. We camped with her last year and since she’s added a bathhouse and a full working toilet! The shower is ran off spring water (no hot water) which is perfect after spending the day in the sun or at the springs! Springs are conveniently located, with there also being a boat/kayak launch two minutes down the road! Would recommend her spot to anyone and we will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Moonlit Avenue

I can’t say enough good thinks about Sharon - super responsive, helpful, points you to fun things to do; she was wonderful and made my stay that much more enjoyable. And of course a lovely spot, loads of room to spread out if you’re a group and quiet. The bathhouse/shower is definitely rustic but everything worked great!

2 nights at Bowman's Landing

Better than anticipated and we anticipated a lot!!! It was perfect.

1 night at The Bird Ranch

We loved camping on Tracy's land, you could feel the love that their family has put into this land. We have a 25ft travel tailor and we had no issue getting it back near the hookups. It was peaceful, we were the only ones there and enjoyed the sounds of nature. Look out for tics!

1 night at Free to Be Acres

Excellent camp site, meticulously well kept. Will be back.

Weekend Trip to Kokomo Farms

We loved staying at Kokomo Farms! Our hosts were incredible kind and the land, accomodations and animals were all magical. We will definitely be returning and suggesting the farm to friends and family--it's a rare gem!

Weekend Trip to Wildflower Pond and Woodlands

A nice quiet spot to enjoy an overnight retreat away from everything. Interesting compost bathroom cutely decorated. Great views. Nice quiet spot with safety. Great host delivered firewood promptly would recommend and stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Bowman's Landing

Bowmans Landing was everything and more than we expected! We stayed in cabin 7. It was a short walk to the river and it wasn't a far walk to the showers/bathroom. The grounds were family friendly and beautiful! I will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Bowman's Landing

The cabin was wonderful and the location perfect. We've really loved how kind and welcoming the community has been for our family.

1 night at Caceres Organic Blueberry Farms

I loved staying here. It was very peaceful, and quiet. Great view, easy to get too. Outdoor shower was excellent. Would absolutely stay again.

4 nights at Bowman's Landing

This is my second time camping for 4 days at the primitive sites while recreating in the area. I've stayed at a handful of hip camp stites over the years in the area and bowman's landing is my favorite so far! Showers, bathrooms, fridge, wifi area really upgrades the camping experience. And I love being able to swim off the dock in the mornings and camping right on the river. I'll definitely be back again!

1 night at Secluded Wooded Campsite 🏕️

Beautiful property with a subtle chicken and Peacock chatting in the distance. Nice camp layout with a beautiful wooden picnic table, camp kitchen area, and outhouse.

2 nights at Suwannee River Glamping

This is the best Hipcamp experience I have had. A secluded boondock spot alongside the majestic Suwanee River and next to the Florida Trail. Beautiful scenery and wonderful hiking trail without having to leave your site.

1 night at Glenn Farm

Tom and Judy were the best hosts by far amazing cool people. And very beautiful land me and my bf absolutely loved it we had the whole place to ourselves and Tom took us up to the 200 year old house and gave us a little tour of it and the cave.

Suwannee River Rendezvous

94 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Mayo, FL

Frank Page purchased the Suwannee River Rendezvous Resort & Campground in 2008 which included the original seven acres of the lower portion of the Rendezvous. At that time there were only a few buildings and the primitive campground area. Frank started cleaning the area and stabilizing all the buildings. In 2009 another 20 acres was purchased, which is now considered the upper area of the Rendezvous. In 2010, another seven acres were added to the property. Frank planned and constructed the Upper Rendezvous area which was completed in 2012 and added 136 RV sites as well as the dog park, barn and pigeon coop. The dog park has five sections, for both small and large dogs, with ample room to run. Suwannee River Rendezvous Resort & Campground Pool Frank began raising pigeons in 2012. The first pigeons purchased were homing pigeons, which started the Pigeon Races that are still a fun, family favorite event on Saturday afternoons. Frank also bought and started raising other pigeons, the Birmingham Roller. Birmingham Rollers are a very popular breed of domesticated pigeons that originated in Birmingham, England, where they were developed via selective breeding for their ability to do rapid backward somersaults while flying. You can often see them flying around the Upper Rendezvous in the mornings and afternoons. These pigeons are used for our weekly Pigeon Races.

Glenn Farm

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents125 acres · Fort White, FL

The farm you’re camping on is one of the last family farms remaining in Columbia County and is named Glenn Farm after DV Glenn who married Hettie Lou Niblack in the 1930’s. Over the last 150 years it has been farmed by some of the county’s oldest families such as the Niblack and Ellis families. When DV Glenn came to Florida from his farm in Cairo, GA he took over the portion of the Niblack farm that was inherited by his wife Hettie Lou. At that time he was running native Florida cattle on over 6000 acres. Unfortunately, In 1951 he was killed in a hunting accident leaving his wife with the farm and 4 children (ages 4-11). In order to survive, Hettie Lou Niblack Glenn was forced to sell 5000 acres at $25 an acre. Holding a bachelors degree from Florida State College for Women, she was able to secure a job at the University of Florida as a secretary and with the money from the land sale she was able to raise her four children. Of the original farm, 600 acres remain intact and the Glenn family is trying to keep the farm as an agricultural operation. Your campsite is 1 of 4 spots (Arrowhead Sink, Dunagan’s Meadow, North Hall Pasture or Magnolia Sink). We also have a 1 bedroom Tiny home that used to be the farm office. Dunagan’s meadow is a pasture behind the old farmhouse (built in 1824), Magnolia sink and The North Hall Pasture are also on the main farm while Arrowhead Sink is on the edge of a hayfield about a mile down a dirt road. Glenn Farm is a place to come relax and experience a world that is rapidly disappearing. It is not a commercial campground.

The Bird Ranch

4 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · O'brien, FL

Parking is only available at the bottom of the driveway for tent campers. All tent sites are less than a 5 minute hike up the trails. There is plenty of firewood available after 3 hurricanes in a year's time. The Bird Ranch is 4 acres of peaceful nature. We have 3 pioneer sites (2 with fire pits), and one RV hook-up (30 Amp power and water) to choose from. We never really know what wildlife is wondering around or when they might pop up. Rest assure though; there are always birds singing, crickets chirping, frogs croaking, owls hooting, and we can even hear the neighboring pigs, chickens, cows, goats and dogs from time to time. I will take all that over city noise any day of the week! The Gofer Turtles are protected wildlife here, but please do not disturb ANY of the animals or their homes. We have had kids destroy a turtle's home before, so please be mindful. The property has trails, an open field for games, and plenty of day outings to do.

Glenn Farm

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents125 acres · Fort White, FL

The farm you’re camping on is one of the last family farms remaining in Columbia County and is named Glenn Farm after DV Glenn who married Hettie Lou Niblack in the 1930’s. Over the last 150 years it has been farmed by some of the county’s oldest families such as the Niblack and Ellis families. When DV Glenn came to Florida from his farm in Cairo, GA he took over the portion of the Niblack farm that was inherited by his wife Hettie Lou. At that time he was running native Florida cattle on over 6000 acres. Unfortunately, In 1951 he was killed in a hunting accident leaving his wife with the farm and 4 children (ages 4-11). In order to survive, Hettie Lou Niblack Glenn was forced to sell 5000 acres at $25 an acre. Holding a bachelors degree from Florida State College for Women, she was able to secure a job at the University of Florida as a secretary and with the money from the land sale she was able to raise her four children. Of the original farm, 600 acres remain intact and the Glenn family is trying to keep the farm as an agricultural operation. Your campsite is 1 of 4 spots (Arrowhead Sink, Dunagan’s Meadow, North Hall Pasture or Magnolia Sink). We also have a 1 bedroom Tiny home that used to be the farm office. Dunagan’s meadow is a pasture behind the old farmhouse (built in 1824), Magnolia sink and The North Hall Pasture are also on the main farm while Arrowhead Sink is on the edge of a hayfield about a mile down a dirt road. Glenn Farm is a place to come relax and experience a world that is rapidly disappearing. It is not a commercial campground.

Camping near Live Oak guide

Overview

Live Oak is a peaceful North Florida town bound by the spring-fed Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers. True to its name, Live Oak is full of old growth oak trees hung with Spanish moss that flows in the breeze. The town is also famous for its music festivals and cave diving, plus its family-friendly springs, kayaking, hiking, and mountain biking. Set where I-10 meets I-75, Live Oak is in the center of the triangle formed by Tallahassee, Jacksonville, and Gainesville. The town makes a great camping getaway from any of these cities or a rewarding layover on a road trip through the South.

Where to go

Live Oak Surrounds

Many of Live Oak’s music festivals occur at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & Campground north of town. If traveling by RV, Live Oak has a good variety of RV parks with picnic tables, hot showers, and full hookups. Additional camping options can be found close by in Lake City.

Live Oak’s Spring Parks

With almost 33,000 feet of underwater cave systems, the Wes Skiles Peacock Springs State Park in Live Oak is one of the largest cave diving sites in the US. While scuba diving here is for experts only, anyone can swim and snorkel in the park’s crystal-clear pools or hit the easy, 1.2-mile nature trail. For more local spring action, you can also explore a first-magnitude spring at Lafayette Blue Springs State Park.

Suwannee River State Park

To camp out among the oaks, head to Suwannee River State Park, about 20 minutes from downtown Live Oak. The park’s tent camping and RV camping sites feature picnic tables, fire rings, and restrooms. You can launch a boat or kayak on the Suwannee and Withlacoochee rivers, or explore the mountain biking and hiking trails.

Additional Nearby Springs

Even more springs can be found southeast of Live Oak. The six-mile Ichetucknee River at Ichetucknee Springs State Park is considered one of the most beautiful spring runs in the state. Canoe and kayak rentals are available on-site, and a shuttle service allows boaters and tubers to complete the run. Ginnie Springs and Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park are also in the area, just a bit further down the Santa Fe River.

When to go

Live Oak’s subtropical environment makes it a year-round camping destination, although summers run hot and humid. The cooler winter months are a great time for Live Oak camping, when you can spot migratory birds. Campsites in Live Oak book out long in advance on festival weekends, so it’s worth checking a local events calendar to gauge how busy it will be.
