Relax with your feet up by the historic Suwannee River under majestic hickory trees, catch some bass from the dock or along the river bank. Walking distance to Royal Springs and boat ramp. Bring your gear to the Spring Diving capital or go spring hopping in a kayak to the many local springs in the area. Have the site to yourself, or bring your friends as there are 3 full hookups (30 amp) and one electric/water only as well as beautiful spots for tent camping. Just message me and I'll make the additional site(s) available. *Please note: due to 3 hurricanes going over us in just over 1 year, the dock and steps were under water for quite some time. We are working on refreshing them, but in the meantime the upper steps are closed. There is an easy path down so it should not affect your enjoyment of the property. **Inquire about long term rentalRiver front RV site with epic breezes and views of the historic Suwannee River. Covered or uncovered parking for RV, picnic table, fire pit and authentic Adirondack chairs for relaxing by the fire, or by the river. Bring a picnic lunch and walk to Royal Springs and jump off the dock into the crystal clear blue/green spring. Bring your boat or jet ski as there is a boat ramp at the spring as well. Go spring hopping to some of the many beautiful springs in the area, such as Little River Spring, Peacock Springs, Charles Springs, and be sure to tube the lazy river at Ichetucknee Springs. Additional hook ups are available if you're traveling with friends. Just message me and I'll make the additional site(s) available.
Rig suitability
Vehicles under 40 feet allowed
If you have a larger Class A you should be able to back into the covered RV site. If you have a larger 5th wheel or travel trailer you need to be pretty savvy to back it in. A 37' used to live there full time, but anything over that is pretty hard to do. There are two straight shot uncovered sites where you can pull in/out without much turning.
Allowed rigs: travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, class A RVs, class B RVs, class C RVs, campervans, cars, truck campers, and rooftop tents
Back-in site
With multiple hookups there are options to pull in or back in. You can park under the carport or there are additional hookups on site if you're not comfortable parking in the carport. There is also a circular drive for shorter RVs.

  • Review summary

    Generated from real Hipcamper reviews

    Set along the serene banks of the Suwannee River, this camping spot is cherished for its tranquility and natural beauty. Visitors consistently praise the welcoming hosts and the ample space, making it ideal for both relaxation and exploration. The convenience of on-site amenities, including kayaks, adds to the appeal, though some note limited cell service as a downside. Overall, it's a favored destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to local attractions like Royal Springs.

    Such a peaceful place with the most amazing view of the river! Areas to fish, launch the kayaks and even a cute swing overlooking the river! Listening to the sturgeon jump is my favorite!
