Stories from the community

9 nights at Suwannee River Green Acres

Love this place was here last year. Will be back next year. Lara is great to answer any questions you have. My dog's just love the room to run.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Wooded Campsite 🏕️

William's campsite was exactly as described and the location was perfect for a weekend of exploring different springs and parks in the area. Everything was in good condition and William was very responsive to questions before the trip. Aside from the attractions, it was a great combination of feeling isolated in our private, quiet area while still "secretly" being only a few minutes from town with a couple close grocery stores.

Weekend Trip to Bowman's Landing

I did not know what to expect from my stay at Bowman’s Landing but I truly had a great stay. Cabin 5 was well equipped (much more so than I expected) and the site was well thought out and made staying there easy and convenient. I highly recommend! I definitely will be going back

Weekend Trip to Suwannee River Rendezvous

The campground was great. Check in very easy. Kids pool was down the weekend so thatwas a bummer but overall was a great stay. The sturgeon jump out of the water non stop so that was awesome watching.

6 nights at Royal Springs Riverfront Retreat

Our second stay at Royal Springs and it was great. Had our canoe and it was difficult to get it in and out because the water was so low, but enjoyed floating down river and trolling up river. Spent some time at the springs and that was lovely. This is a special spot!

2 nights at Bowman's Landing

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. Everyone was friendly!! Lots a wildlife around, saw plenty of deer roaming around & of course the hens roaming around. Cabin 8 was clean & very cool!! That was a bonus!! The water was perfect temperature, when needing a quick cool. Beware of ticks, I only got one but it’s bound to happen. 10/10 would recommend coming to Bowman’s land! Camping or glamping!

Weekend Trip to 4A River Camp

Great place on the river! Very clean site and easy to find.

Weekend Trip to Free to Be Acres

April’s campsite was great - I have no complaints! Beautiful, clean, and so convenient - places like Ichetucknee springs, grocery stores, and gas stations were just 10 minutes away. She is very kind as well and very hospitable. It was a little tricky to put the steaks in the ground for tents as there were quite a few rocks but that didn’t pose too much of a problem. With cool clean water, a clean toilet, a very nice fire ring, a clean picnic table, and decent WiFi, it was a great campsite! I would definitely recommend this for anyone interested, families, friends, or solo campers. It seemed like a very safe area as well and all the locals were very kind and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Camp Gilchrist

Beautiful under the starry sky - we saw so many shooting stars! Only minutes from the natural springs.

2 nights at Caceres Organic Blueberry Farms

Exceptional privacy and generosity; well loved land, transformational star gazing, best showers.

Weekend Trip to Purradise Springs

10/10 the cats are so loveable and the host is so friendly. My partner and I absolutely enjoyed our stay and had a top notch experience! So peaceful and therapeutic!

3 nights at Bowman's Landing

(My last name is Bowman but I have no connection with the landing whatsoever, just stumbled across it during a google search and glad I did!) I LOVED this location! It was just me (mom) and my three kids (14, 10, and 7). We loved every minute of it. Jesse was so kind and helpful! We felt safe the whole time! The bathrooms were clean and spacious! I just recommend taking a little fan in there with you when you go. They had popsicles in freezer and puzzles and books for the kids to enjoy! My kids loved the water mat! It was so quite and peaceful! We all enjoyed seeing the deer all around us! Will definitely be back many more times in the near future!

2 nights at Kokomo Farms

I loved staying in Kokomo. There were tons of rescue animals, bathrooms, showers with hot water, a fridge, grills, games, hot tub, art, and wild blackberries to eat. I got to wake up to the sounds of the animals and wildlife. There were lots of national parks around. My only regret is not being able to dive the underwater caves at Peacock Springs State Park.

2 nights at Jewel’s Sink

Camping on Micheal’s property was awesome! Jewel sink itself is absolutely stunning and there is tons of open space around you. It’s a great location, not far from Newberry, so you can make a town run if needed. Micheal himself was super kind and helpful! My only downside is the insane amount of ants (fire & regular) that are present in the camping area, just something to make a note of! bring tall boots LOL

1 night at Caceres Organic Blueberry Farms

Absolutely amazing stay. So, so blessed for such amazing stargazing.

1 night at Wildflower Pond and Woodlands

5 stars for peace, charm, and the best night’s sleep under a sky full of stars If you’re looking for a beautiful peaceful place to unwind that still feels tucked away but not too far off the highway this is it. No KOA!!! Yay Easy to access even with a big rig. I pulled my 34 foot quad bunk and diesel truck right up to the 30 amp hookup with no problem. The property has that perfect mix of wild and welcoming. There’s a sweet little pond full of catch and release fish, great for kids. Bring some worms and let them catch their first fish in a setting that feels like magic. Lots of places to just sit and unwind or Lay in a hammock Our site had a perfect fire pit and they offer wood on site along with fresh eggs straight from the hens. Hands down the best eggs I’ve ever had, especially with a T bone on the skillet. There are also some super cute A frame rentals, a garden, a few pups running around, and some farm animals that made our stay feel even more special. Allie the host was incredibly sweet and helpful to me and my family. You can feel the love she’s put into the land. If you’re looking for peace, stars, nature, and a real deal farm stay that’s kid friendly and easy to settle into this place is the one. Will absolutely be back.

1 night at 4A River Camp

Great spot but you are literally in someone's side yard...this was a bonus for me since I was solo camping. You can kayak to the Ichetucknee but paddling up it is quite the endeavor. This spot was clean and level with firepit. It is just a few feet down to the Santa Fe River and it was fairly easy to pull my single kayak up and down the hill to the river. There is a great limestone area in front of the camping spot that is perfect for floating....but wear river shoes. It was also nice to have the private parks on the Ichetucknee...the water was beautiful. There was a hot shower and outdoor sink. There was also a bucket toilet in the shower but i never needed since im self contained. The host was very quick to respond and quite pleasant but they were not home so i had the whole place to myself. As a solo camper i felt very safe. Be sure to drive into Branford for the smash burger from Burger Heaven.....soooo good!

Weekend Trip to Cabin At Little River Springs

This is a great, spacious and fairly private campsite. The little cabin is super rustic and perfect for sleeping in air conditioning and away from the bugs. It has a tiny screened in porch you can chill in too. We made campfires every morning and night, and cooked over the fire. The campsite has a picnic table and a lock box with some extra items. We brought our boat and a paddle board, and hung hammocks in the trees. The town of Branford is a short drive away and has a decent grocery store, some restaurants and a nice boat launch. You can easily walk through the woods behind the cabin to reach the river and the Little River Springs. Boots recommended, as there's snakes and brush. We had a lovely time and would recommend it! 💚

Weekend Trip to 4A River Camp

Beautiful setting! This hip camp is so close to ichetucknee, our favorite river to float, it makes a great camping spot for couples or families.

Suwannee River Glamping

7 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · White Springs, FL

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 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.

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.

4A River Camp

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Fort White, FL

This area was inhabited by indians many years ago and the remnants of their civilization are scattered about in the rivers and land.

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.
