Come enjoy a relaxing & peaceful stay under the beautiful oaks at our Rustic-themed RV park, just minutes from the Itchetucknee Springs. We are a small, 14 site RV Park that is family owned and operated. We offer 15/30/50 amp service, full hook-up to self-contained units only (No public restroom/bath house at this time). One of our favorite things about our park is the old general store we had moved approximately 36 miles across Suwannee County, for our future office. Many people stop by just to snap a quick picture along their journey. We hope to have it open soon! Keep your eyes open for many different types of wildlife, including hawks, owls, deer, turkey, and rabbits. We are approximately 10 minutes from Branford & Fort White, for the closest grocery store and places to eat. Dollar General is also located 1 mile from our park. There are many springs, rivers, and state parks within driving distance.

Peaceful Suwannee River Camping

5. Peaceful Suwannee River Camping

49mi from Starke · 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.

The FOLC Farm (Florida Outdoor Learning Collective) is a homestead, outdoor learning center, and community event space in Gainesville, FL. Situated on 5 wooded acres, The FOLC Farm is only minutes from downtown Gainesville and the University of Florida by car or bike trail, and within walking distance of Payne's Prairie State Park La Chua Trail, Boulware Spring, Sweetwater Preserve trail system, and the Hawthorne bike trail. Guests are welcome at the occasional public social events held onsite (separate from the campground). At The FOLC Farm, you will find the perfect blend of nature, culture, and convenience. At the entrance of the property is a self-contained, family-friendly campground with nine non-electric sites (five tent sites and four car camping sites). You may also rent the entire campground for your private group (usually $300 on weekends, $200 on weekdays — please message to inquire). At the campground, you have access to a shared campfire, picnic tables, grill, composting toilet, sink with running water, shower with hot water, changing room, and some art supplies and games to enjoy during your stay. The host lives on the homestead and is available if you need assistance. Please note: The five tent sites are within the campground circle where no cars are allowed for camper safety. The parking area is within 150 feet (45 meters) of the various sites, and a cart is available to move your gear. Sites are 25–50 feet (8–15 meters) apart. Dogs are not allowed for the safety and comfort of other campers. If your private group is renting the whole campground, you may bring a leashed pet when it is not in your tent or van. If you are looking for a single private campsite far from town, this is not for you. However, if you would like to experience a campground on a working homestead and learning center, with the ability to interact with other guests if you wish, while still being conveniently close to downtown and trail systems, this is a great fit. This wooded 5-acre property is very close to thousands of acres of state park land and also adjacent to a rural/suburban neighborhood. Therefore, you can expect to hear both typical neighborhood sounds (cars, children) as well as wildlife such as Barred Owls, Sandhill Cranes, and occasional deer visits.

Recently (2020), a 17.2-pound bass was caught there. The combined Ocklawaha and St. Johns drainage basin is possibly the most significant river-estuary waterway of Florida. This water system is of legendary reputation among anglers of largemouth bass who seek 10 pound plus trophy fish.

It appears to be ‘off the beaten path’, yet it is close enough to civilization so that even the most seasoned camper can make a quick run to store should he or she need something not found in nature. Camp Seminole Spring is mid-way (approx.. 22 miles) between Ocala and Gainesville, Florida, which are two thriving cities in this area of Florida. Ocala, the ‘horse capital of the world’ showcases a brand new multi-billion-dollar equestrian center which draws people from all over the world. This scenic property has an artesian spring which pushes out 1.6 million gallons of water per day rated among the top three percent of water in the world with an 8.4 natural pH. This water fills the pond and then continues on to flow into Orange Creek. Camp Seminole Springs was established in the 1940’s as a honeymoon resort and campground. The founders built a heart-shaped ‘pond-spring’ which is filled with the crystal-clear water pushed out from the spring where guests can lounge by the beach or gaze down into the bottom through the glass-like water or take a refreshing swim. At the top of the hill overlooking the heart-shaped spring, one will find the rustic Great Lodge where guests can come and mingle with each other, enjoy a relaxing conversation and a drink on the veranda or just sit and watch the activity in and around the spring.

Great communication and extremely friendly! It’s a quiet little spot tucked in on a dead end road and the stars were so pretty!! Loved all the ducks, cows, and wildlife. Thank you!!

Great stay! Camped right beside a peaceful pond. Lots of ducks and geese to watch, lots of space for my little one to run around. Had a swing beside the pond that we spent so much time on.

I loved camping at FOLC Farm. This is my third time staying there. The location to all the hiking and biking spots is fantastic as well as being close to all the activities in Gainesville. Will stay again.

Weekend Trip to Blackwater Ranch - River Camping

Nice location on the St. Marys river. If you are tent camping, it's probably wise to check if the nearby mudbog pit (Soggy Bottom) is planning an event, otherwise noise could be an issue. Also, the gravel drive is pretty steep. Be careful to get a rolling start when exiting the gate

Weekend Trip to Lochloosa Creek Hideaway + Biking

We just had an amazing stay on Brandon's beautiful property! From start to finish Brandon was attentive and accommodating. The property was beautiful! 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. ❤️

Betsy’s property is a big, beautiful peaceful oasis. We stopped for one night while traveling north. Betsy is a terrific host who communicated with us and answered all our questions. She even offered us the use of her two electric scooters.

Location is fantastic. Close to the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail, Paynes Prairie, LaChua, Sweetwater Nature Park, and downtown Gainesville. Great for a full day or two of bicycling.

Weekend Trip to Downtown Nature Retreat

Betsy‘s land right next to her house is very peaceful and beautiful lots of gorgeous trees and green grass. Betsy is a very gracious host. We had a big rig and it was a little difficult for us to get in. We have a 20 foot freightliner and a 40 foot fifth wheel. I was so impressed that my husband was able to get it into her backyard. Getting it out was much easier. Lots of activities to do near where she lives. Quiet street only six neighbors.

The site was spacious, well cared for and easy to find. Kenny was an excellent communicator and I was happy to be able to refill my freshwater tank after a mishap. I set up near a large tree which offered cooling shade. Easy entry and egress via a keypad to open the gate.

Peaceful, clean and convenient location. It is a private location. Hosts are welcoming and knowledgeable and are well organized. Everything a hipcam should be.
