Royal Springs Retreat
Our second stay at Royal Springs and it was great. Had our canoe and it was difficult to get it in and out because the water was so low, but enjoyed floating down river and trolling up river. Spent some time at the springs and that was lovely. This is a special spot!

Royal Springs Retreat
We camped in a 35 ft travel trailer. We had an amazing stay. Location was right on the Suwanne River. Plenty of space under the canopy with extra room to put up a tent for my 17yoa grandson who didn't want to stay in the RV with his 11yoa sister and 10yoa cousin. Hookups easy to access, FHU a plus! Nice quiet spot, short 2 min drive to Royal Springs. I always looked forward to morning coffee on the swing by the river. Would definately recommend this site and will be going back again.

This is our second stay on this absolutely breathtaking riverside site and it can never disappoints! We are already looking at the calendar for our next stay. We love that there is not much service so we can disconnect from the world and enjoy our family with no distractions. The views are incredible and the nature is beautiful!

This was our second trip to Christine’s and once again it was fantastic! We were able to book on spur of the moment and we loved our stay just as much as we did on our last visit. We had some rain but being that we were under cover just gave us a chance to play some cards and board games and enjoy the sound of the rain. Great feature! The river was down so the boys were able to use the lower deck this time and get in some fishing. Christine came by to be sure all was well our first night. It was a pleasure to meet her and tell her how much we enjoy this spot. This will be a regular destination of ours for sure!

What a nice visit. The site was clean and peaceful. It had everything we needed. The kayak launch was convenient. Right from the start, the host was very responsive and accommodating. She also recommend some springs we could paddle to, which we really enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again.

We're back for our second visit to Royal Spring, a place we truly love. While the hurricane's impact is evident, we appreciate the hard work Christine and her husband are putting in to get everything back in top shape. we are looking forward for award next stay at Royal spring.

Great place to relax and unwind. We enjoyed watching the different people and their contraptions floating down the river. Canopy is large enough for my Fithwheel with plenty of room to relax with chairs.

Royal Springs Retreat
We loved this place! We camped for three nights in our travel trailer and had an amazing time here. We enjoyed our morning coffee at the fire pit with a beautiful view of the river and the sunrise. We discovered the pattern of the hot spots as the sun made its way across the sky which allowed us to enjoy each area of the property during the day and then we were back at the fire pit before bed.
We loved the neighborhood and the quiet. We fished and caught catfish and our dogs were in heaven not having to be tied up. We will be back!
Beautiful place. The lower deck and stairs have taken a beating being flooded and weather beaten and were not safe for our visit but we managed just fine. We loved this place !!!

If you’re looking for a “Disney” experience you’ll hate this place. If you’re looking for an old-school, peaceful paradise overlooking one of the most beautiful rivers in the world, this place is perfect. Only downside is I couldn’t get one of those darn bass to bite my hook. Looking forward to our next visit.

When planning a trip it can hard to anticipate the weather. It rained for our entire visit, but it never dampened our fun. It’s a beautiful location and the large RV shed was the perfect place to park. We stayed dry, enjoyed having our windows open without rain getting in and loved the sound of the rain in the roof. We hope to return someday to be able to kayak too.

Royal Springs Retreat
What an incredible site. The RV port really spoiled us after staying here for 3 weeks. Amazing set up with cover from rain, full hookups and a private dock on the river. Really great fire pit, peaceful neighborhood, secluded and tons of birds! The surrounding towns have decent restaurants and amenities, but the real draw is the rivers, blue springs (Royal Springs is a half mile walk/paddle) and this beautiful campsite itself. Thanks Christine!

We loved having our camper on Christine's land. It provided shelter when it rained so we could still enjoy being outside and great views of the river while we sat by the fire. It still felt private even with the neighbors. We cannot wait to go back when it's warmer to enjoy the springs.

We had an amazing stay at Royal Springs Retreat! The property is in a fantastic location—quiet, private, and just steps from the water. Christine and her husband were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality truly made our visit special. We can’t wait to return!

Royal Springs Retreat
Extremely quiet and peaceful with absolutely no noise, no long-distance train, no vehicle noise, no river noise, nothing. Christine is a very nice host that met us once we arrived. There is no easy access to the water with kayaks and lots of steps to get to the dock. I suggest a mile up the road for 5.00 fee to use the boat ramp. I would camp here again if I were in the area.

I loved staying at this hipcamp retreat. The RV site is right on the river just steps down to the flowing water. The area was super quiet and peaceful. I loved having the fun hookups as well.

Royal Springs Retreat
This was such a peaceful, beautiful spot. We had 2 camper vans on site, one full hookup and one off grid, and we both fit under the carport comfortably! The site is equipped with outdoor seating and tables if you don’t have your own. Because we were here following Hurricane Helene and Milton the river was high and the spring down the road was flooded, but we will definitely return to explore all of the springs in the surrounding area! Christine was easy to reach and was very responsive. Our dogs were also very excited they didn’t have to be leashed!

This was our second visit and it did not disappoint. We love the location, its peaceful and quiet. We have already booked our next visit. Christine was amazing as usual! I 100% recommend.
Also, if you don't camp and are looking for a nice place on the river to rent Christine & Tony also have a nice river house right next door (Royal Spring Riverfront "Treehouse) that you should definitely check out!

This was one of our best trips we have had to the springs yet. Royal Springs was just a half mile down the road or river from the camp. We were able to access the kayak and the canoe to float down the river also. The set-up was great and even though we did not catch any fish from the dock it was still a relaxing trip. We visited a total of 4 springs which are within 30 minutes from the site. We really enjoyed Christine's place.

This was a very nice camp site to share with friends. The host was helpful and friendly. The one suggestion for future guests is if you have a big RV, back into campsites to avoid multiple readjustments.
The Royal spring was less than a 1/2 mile from the campsite. Very convenient.

This was our family’s absolute favorite camping trip. It was beautiful and peaceful. Easy set up for our 30 foot camper and our kids had plenty of room to also tent camp. Our pups loved the space they had to run and play. Christine let us know before our “cancellation deadline” that Royal springs was still a bit murky from the Swuannee River run off but that didn’t keep us from having the best time. Christine was also incredibly generous by allowing us to use a canoe and kayak so we were able to paddle down the river and enjoy making memories. The signal is spotty there but we didn’t mind at all because it gave us an opportunity to enjoy our family. There’s a charcoal grill, cook utensils, fire pit, picnics tables, folding table, shovel, and there was even some wood left over there to build a fire. It was so private and peaceful. We will be returning many times in the near future. Thank you for sharing this absolutely beautiful piece of paradise Christine.

Wonderful, private spot right on the river. Had everything we needed including a place to put in our canoe and our dog enjoyed being able to roam around.
We went through hurricane Debby while there so things weren't as relaxing and peaceful as it would be with good weather.
The owners, Tony and Christine came over after the storm to help us get our canoe out of the water and help cut us out from the downed trees and branches. It was very much appreciated and they are great people!
Loved the spot and we will be back - later in the year....

This campground have everything you need! Pack your personal items and head that way! I had so much fun! Power, water, sewer and CABLE! The overhang is great for rainy days. The steps to go down to the river is beautiful! The included cayaks, paddle board, life jackets, charcoal, grill, etc was very nice!
I love how quiet it was and I really did not want to leave! Definatly coming back soon!!!! The spring is so close and the dirt road are perfect for RV/Trailers.

Great location with all the amenities. It rained every afternoon but the carport was great and kept us dry. A few good launch spots and a quick little paddle to Royal springs.

What an amazing visit! My husband and I, along with our 6yo grand son and my sister-in-law visited for several days mid July 2024. Christine, who was out of town due to family matters, coordinated everything for our stay with perfection, during which, her location was hit by a Hurricane! Her husband, Tony, was absolutely among the finest "on-site" hosts we've ever encountered. We'll return not just to experience the magnificent location, which is perfectly documented in various pictures on this site, but because, as often happens within our community, we made new friends in Christine and Tony.
Our purpose for being there was that a bunch of old Navy Buddies were visiting for the weekend. We and another couple have RVs, our other friends don't. No problemo! They have a gorgeous VRBO

within walking distance. So, if you're looking for the perfect place to relax, read a book, drink a glass of wine and feel centered, this could be your place. See you down the road, my friends! Cheers-Gaby
