R.V. DUMP STATION for guests! . ALL THREE sites have large pull-through circular driveways! Follow us on Facebook! Sweet Tupelo . "SWEET TUPELO" is a magical 12-acre RIVERFRONT property offering 3 riverfront R.V. sites, spaced 150 feet apart from each other. We're directly on the Apalachicola River, approximately 15 minutes south of Bristol, Florida. These campsites have so much to offer with sweeping water views on a wide bend of the river! The campsites feature: . 1. Waterfront R.V. camping sites spaced far enough from another camper for your enjoyment, (150 feet apart from each other with Site 1 and Site 3 having woods on one side). 2. Picnic table at EACH SITE. 3. Swivel-top charcoal grill at EACH SITE. 4. Fire Pit with wood Adirondack Chairs AT EACH SITE. 5. EACH SITE has a 30-amp and 50-amp hookup, plus 110v electric outlets, along with two city drinking water spigots, (bring your own RV electric cord and RV drinking water hose). 6. Room for boat parking 7. County-owned boat ramp, playground, restrooms, just 300 YARDS AWAY! 8. R.V. size limit recommendations: Site 1 up to 50', Site 2 up to 40', Site 3 up to 40'. . (For best results to see ALL features of our listing, including dates/availability of ALL 3 campsites, view our Hipcamp listing on a laptop rather than your mobile phone) . Our three "SWEET TUPELO" R.V. campsites are located on 12 riverfront acres in the northern Panhandle of Florida on the historic Apalachicola River. The name “Sweet Tupelo” is taken from the Tupelo tree that grows exclusively in the floodplains and sloughs along the Apalachicola River. Local bees make their honey with the pollen of these trees creating many unique health and taste benefits found only in this part of the world. When you venture back into civilization, make sure you pick up a jar of Tupelo honey. You won’t be disappointed! . "Sweet Tupelo" is located roughly halfway between Apalachicola and Chattahoochee, at the river's mile marker 60. This river is Florida's LARGEST by volume of water, stretching 103 miles from the FL/GA border in Chattahoochee to the historic fishing village of Apalachicola on the Gulf coast. . WE DO NOT OFFER RESTROOMS - You would use your RV bathroom and our RV Dump Station. . Quiet and respectful campers only! No loud parties allowed. Dogs welcome! Please pick up after your dog and please be courteous by keeping your dog away from the other campers at the other campsites.

Sweet Tupelo offers a peaceful riverside camping experience with expansive views and well-maintained facilities. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and spaciousness of the campsites, as well as the thoughtful amenities like ample seating and fire pits. Host Glenn is noted for his warm hospitality and attentiveness, enhancing the overall experience for campers. While most find the tranquility appealing, some mention occasional noise from nearby dogs and neighbors, but this doesn't seem to overshadow the overall enjoyment of the site.

Sweet Tupelo is an absolute gem for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature. The property is incredibly well maintained, with every detail clearly cared for, which makes the whole experience feel comfortable and stress-free from the moment you arrive. One of the standout parts of the stay is the host, Glenn. He’s very accommodating, easy to communicate with, and genuinely wants guests to have a great experience. That kind of hospitality really makes a difference. The views are nothing short of amazing—perfect for relaxing mornings and peaceful evenings. On top of that, the property is extremely quiet, making it an ideal spot if you’re looking to disconnect and enjoy some true peace and quiet.

Private sight gathering spot.
SITE 3
Was a guest at this site this weekend. The parking areas are gravel with ease of movement for backing in trailers. Electric and water at the three sites. Great view of the Apalachicola river with a beautiful sunset. Lots of tables and chairs and beautiful fire pits. We couldn’t use the fire pits with the fire restrictions. There was some gunfire east of us and someone from the area asked if it was us and warned us that firing weapons in the very remote area was forbidden. A few times the same women walked through the site with two small children which is clearly marked private property. There is a boat ramp about 500 yards west on the road outside the camp. We had about six families on the three sites for a private gathering. Fish were caught and released. Great accommodations. Site is well planned. State property on the other side of the river.

We loved this site so much we booked a second night. The campsite is so peaceful and has been the best stay of our trip so far. The amenities are first class! Each site is pristine and comes with a variety of picnic tables and high top tables. The dump station was easy to access and was definitely a perk of this site. We will definitely return here next time we are in the area.

The property is absolutely beautiful. The campsites do allow for some privacy but unfortunately not all campers come out for a quiet experience. We ended up leaving due to rowdy neighbors. If we RV camped it would have been ok, but we pitched a tent.

We stayed at site one and it was a great View. Also cook Grill and nice fire pit plenty of space and picnic tables. Just a short walk to the boat ramp if you want to use the restroom there. As others have said there are dogs in the neighborhood that howl at night and there was also a cow mooing but overall it's a good spot.

Wonderful site! We even played pickleball a little bit! I love that a water hose is provided. I went with a friend that booked a couple earlier nights and also was here in January as well. I met a wonderful neighbor down the street who gave us fresh grapefruit and eggs, such a wonderful surprise and very kind! Felt safe. Would be cool if there was stairs down the cliff but totally understand that would not be safe! The owner Glenn keeps it immaculate and in 100% working order. Recommended!

Second time here this year Love the place of course! Had a friend meet us us. She loved the place as well. She even was able to fish some. Plenty of sitting space and tables and an outdoor grill area too. Highly recommend! Definitely will be back for our third trip hopefully before summer comes! If you want more water view where you park and by the fire then the 3rd site probably has the most water viewing area. Definitely watch your pet near the cliffs!

It is a beautiful location! Plenty of room between sites...there was only 1 other site used while we were there. Very private...the only noise you will hear is the cow mooing "good night" from down the lane. The night sky is very impressive and you must sit by the fire pit and enjoy it. All the services are new and you have no problem hooking up. This would be a great place for a family vacation..especially if you could reserve all 3 spots. Will be on my list to come back to visit again.
