Overview
Steinhatchee sits on a river of the same name. The town leads right into the Gulf of Mexico, so many camping spots come with coastal views and beach access. Granted, the town of Steinhatchee is small and quaint, especially compared to the size and scope of Floridaâs Big Bend Region and Nature Coast. However, youâll find plenty to do, both on land and in water. Nature lovers will gravitate toward Steinhatchee Falls, Floridaâs most spectacular waterfall, while all campers will enjoy canoeing, kayaking, and picnicking along the river.Â
Where to go
Big Bend Wildlife Management Area
The Big Bend Wildlife Management Area pairs the blue waters of the Gulf Coast with the green land of the areaâs campgrounds. The wildlife preserve comes with hiking trails, as well as recreation areas, picnic tables, and boat ramps. The areaâs most unique charm, however, is its wildlife. While camping, youâre likely to spot birds, fish, and up to 100 species of butterflies. Clearly, both campers and animals thrive in this diverse habitat. Â
Steinhatchee Springs Wildlife Management Area
En route to another wildlife preserve, youâll pass RV, tent, and cabin campsites that come with a range of views. Steinhatchee Springs Wildlife Management Area combines Floridaâs signature vistas. Think: cypress swamps, verdant forests, and rows of pine trees. Once you check-in to a nearby campsite, you can ride horses, bike, hike, fish, and hunt. If youâd prefer a more peaceful getaway, you can alternatively sit back and take in the landscapeâs beauty.Â
Down Floridaâs Nature Coast
Floridaâs Nature Coast passes through Steinhatchee, as well as the surrounding coastal towns. Boaters and fishermen will flock to the tranquil shores of Horseshoe Beach, though camping spots in the area vary. Some campgrounds come with RV hookups and picnic tables, while other campsites offer recreation areas and fire pits. No matter where you go, youâll never be far from the Gulf of Mexico and its coastal views.Â
When to go
For the most comfortable camping experience, visit campgrounds in Steinhatchee, Florida when the days are warm, but not scorching. Avoid the muggy and humid summer months in favor of the more temperate seasons. Youâll want to plan your trip for fall through spring, when the nights are pleasant enough to sleep under the starsâand cool enough to curl up in your sleeping bag.
