This area was inhabited by indians many years ago and the remnants of their civilization are scattered about in the rivers and land. The Ichetucknee River was named by a tribe of Creek Indians who came down from north Georgia and Alabama, and means "place of the beavers". This area is rich in history and beautiful nature. With over 1/3 acre of dedicated riverfront property on the Santa Fe River, you’ll have all the peace and quiet you can handle in this single spot campsite. The campsite was purpose-built for friends and family who come to visit this slice of paradise we call home. Ideally located in the heart of spring country in North Central Florida, we have over 18 major springs within a 50-mile radius of this location, which allows for all the outdoor exploration and watersports you desire. With tubing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, boating, and fishing available within feet of the campsite, you can stay nearby or venture out to some of the best springs in the world. Boaters – Private boat ramp is 200 yards up the road on the Santa Fe, public boat ramps within 10 miles on the Santa Fe and Suwannee rivers. Tubers – Tube the private section of the crystal-clear Ichetucknee river accessible only by the homeowners via our 3 waterfront parks. Both get-out parks are within walking distance to the campsite for your convenience. Paddlers – Paddle the Santa Fe or Ichetucknee rivers from within the neighborhood, or if the time of year is right, venture up to the Ichetucknee State Park to paddle the head waters and north entrance. This is limited in season and numbers to keep the impact on the river to a minimum. Swimmers – Swim the Santa Fe or Ichetucknee rivers from within the neighborhood via our 9 waterfront parks (6 Santa Fe, 3 Ichetucknee) or venture to either entrance of the Ichetucknee River State Park just a few miles away. Nature lovers – Explore the unspoiled conservation areas within the neighborhood that can be hiked and explored. Setup a hammock and sit by the river and watch all your worries wash away, you may get to see the occasional manatee. Whatever your passion, this campsite accommodates it with electric (50/30/15), water, picnic table, concrete firepit, clothesline and plenty of room to spread out. The neighborhood is golf-cart and UTV friendly and has lots of dirt roads to explore. The deer can be found quite easily every morning and evening while riding around and rarely run away from the vehicles. Area Springs and Recreation attractions include the following springs and state parks. Google search Florida Springs for more information on each.With over 1/3 acre of dedicated riverfront property on the Santa Fe River, you’ll have all the peace and quiet you can handle in this single spot campsite.

Perfect stop to regroup

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. My 8yo son didn't want to leave. It was an emergency stop for us as our truck was having issues. We never got to meet the owners but they were kind and patient as we dealt with the mechanic not meeting several deadlines. Luckily it all worked out in the end and we will definitely be back.

Springs/Nature Paradise

(Vague review to protect privacy.) There was an unfortunate event before we arrived. It was no one’s fault and nothing could be done to change it. Our host (Michael) communicated to us early and often. He was accommodating and polite. I also believe he was in full contact with the previous campers, as well. In the end, it was resolved smoothly and all parties were happy. I don’t think many other Hipcamp hosts would have put in that much work for something they couldn’t control and wasn’t their fault. I will absolutely return!

Springs/Nature Paradise

So this may be a bit long but worth it. Pulling up to the site the pictures do not do it justice. The site is clean, well maintained and on a gravel driveway. Santa Fe river is your campsite. We did not have to leave the site at all. Fish, swim and kayak all from the yard. Now a couple things, there is not alot shade at the site itself, surrounding yes so bring canopy, 2nd we tried every bait we had to fish and believe me the fish were running but not one bite, oh well and BRING BUG TORCHES AND BUG SPRAY. Lots of it your on the water. I didn't want to write a great review, well because we want to keep this jewel of a place to ourselves but Mikes place is all that and more. We have vowed to make this spot a twice a yr family vacation since we are only 2 hrs away. Thank you so much for sharing your property ❤️
