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.

Extra-spacious RV site designed for families or groups traveling together. Ideal for two smaller RVs, one RV with a tent setup, or guests who want additional outdoor space for gathering and relaxing. This site features shared hookups with one utility pedestal providing water, sewer, and electric service. Best suited for one 50-amp RV with a secondary 110V connection, or up to two smaller 30-amp setups depending on power needs. Not recommended for two large high-demand RVs using full service simultaneously. Conveniently located near shared riverfront common areas, a sandy beach, walking trails, and the peaceful natural setting of Oaken River. Perfect for family getaways, group camping trips, and creating memorable outdoor experiences together. This site offers significantly more space than a standard RV site, making it ideal for families or groups traveling together. It can comfortably accommodate one RV with additional space for a second RV or tent setup, while sharing the same full hookup connection. The site offers full hookups with 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer, making it suitable for a wide range of RVs. The pad is level and easily accessible. While this site is not directly on the river, guests enjoy access to shared riverfront common areas just a short walk away, including a lanai, firepit, fountain area, and oak-shaded gathering spaces along the Suwannee River. Guests also have access to 50+ acres of wooded land, with natural walking paths and expanding trail access throughout the forest.

Let me start by saying this place is by far the most relaxing, accommodating, peaceful getaway ever experienced. The hospitality provided by the owner Andres was so personable and exactly what we needed. From the moment of arrival we were greeted by Andres on his gulf cart that gave our family a personal tour of the property and all it had to offer. They had a huge array of animals including chickens, donkeys, turkeys, dogs, cats, goats and they were free to roam which was an experience in itself. During our tour Andres took the time to explain all that he has done to the campground over the last year and all that he plans to do to campground in the coming years. Andres and his family are so genuine, kind and appreciative to have us and we our family, we definitely plan on coming back in the coming years when the clubhouse is built and the glamping yurts are completed. What a perfect location right on the Swanee river. We were able to hang out at beach which was within walking distance. After our memorable trip I asked my kids what was the best camping trip thus far we have taken and they said Oaken river ! This says a lot as we are avid campers.

We tried to book a last minute springs trip with our family. We fell upon Oaken River because the state parks were full. I am soooo glad of that. Oaken River is such a gem. It is so well taken care of and loved. The owners showed up around the campground, made sure we had everything we needed and truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. After seeing all of the potential camping site that Oaken River will have in the near future we will surely be back and bring our whole family. What a beautiful weekend with great hosts! Thank you Andres and Stephanie!
