I would recommend this campground. It was extremely clean and well-kept. The owners are from Sweden and one of the staff members stated he runs a glove over every cabin before he allows another guest to rent it. The pool and bathrooms were extremely clean as well. It's a little off the path of convenience but I would recommend this campground to anyone. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

Rate was for Passport America, $10, +$1. cable, +.77tax. Cable had about 30 channels, + 2 HBO. We had a P/T w/30amp electric and water. Sewer dump on exit road, a slight problem if someone dumping and you want to get out, you can't get around and have to wait till they are done. This is a plain older park, but clean. They could use more grass. The roads are packed sand. The GPS that comes up for the park is off by about 20 miles. We just happened to see the park as we passed by it. We told the owner and he said he knew. He just failed to tell us when we called for a reservation. Verizon air card works well. In the area there are 2 springs where you can go and see manatees. Also 45 mile is Ceadar Key. We would stay here again for a few days. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Passport America $10 + $1 for Cable TV that had two HBO channels. We had a 30 amp P/T site with water & cable TV. Did not use the Wi-Fi, Verizon broadband was excellent. There is nothing fancy here, just a great value and really friendly people. Park might offend some, but not us. After coming in the entrance and registering, they then have you use the exit to come and go. Dump station is on the exit, so it is a weird setup. However, the traffic volume is low and it works. We would not have a problem coming back. Great park for couples with no kids, and for people just looking for some R n R. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We decided on this park basically because of the previous reviews. However, we were not prepared for the extremely unlevel site that was assigned to us. Because we were only overnighting, I requested only water and electric. But, because our motorhome is over “33 feet”, we had to pay for 50A at an additional $2. We could have sufficed with 30A for the evening. Our site was basically a utility post at the edge of the road, no distinct site at all. In order to level, our back tires were off the ground!!!! Most all of the other sites in the park looked a whole lot more level than ours. The wi-fi was good, but it wasn’t available at the site. The “hotspot” is on the porch of the clubhouse. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a decent place. This is a “Good Sam” park but that is an overrating. The office people were friendly and took us to our campsite. Our site was on grass, I think all of them are, with some trees around us. Sandy roads inside the campground but with no overhanging branches to catch the unwary. There is a 1500 foot boardwalk to the Suwannee River. You can swim in the Suwannee if you want but there are no lifeguards. The campground has a mix of snowbirds and overnighters. I didn't notice any “permanent” residents. Odd cable TV with the three old networks plus Fox, TV Land and Fix News. NBC came from New York of all places and it seemed like ABC was coming out of California. PBS on the antenna. Full hook-ups but low water pressure. WiFi at a hot spot in the clubhouse. There is a tent camping area in the woods near the boardwalk. This is a very quiet area, well off the main roads. The entrance road is 0.6 mile (not 1.5 miles as someone else has said) bumpy mystery pavement with sand and gravel over the top. The paved road out front is fairly narrow. Two Class A units meeting would probably have to slow down and pass carefully. The Nature Coast Trail, a 32 mile paved biking, hiking, and equestrian trail is 5 miles away in Old Town. We stayed here in a 31 foot Class C for 5 nights and payed $95 with a Passport America discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Suwannee River Hideaway has a unique office and store with lots of reading material. The staff are friendly and welcome you as friends. It is set in beautiful surroundings with a modern clubhouse. The rustic facilities are adequate and very clean. There is an awesome boardwalk to the Suwannee with deck and dock on the River. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle to peace and quiet this is the place to go! We camped here in a Truck Camper.

We paid the PA rate. This campground has a lot of potential, but it has some major flaws. The pros: remote, very quiet, boardwalk to the Suwannee River, wide sites, friendly staff. Cons: extra charge for 50-amp, county roads leading to the park entrance very narrow, road from park entranced unpaved, rutted and dusty, power went out twice during our overnight stay. After we got set up, we started to read the campground handout and found out that they require wooden blocks under all leveling jacks. As my wife said, “Not after we are set up.” We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was not what we were expecting after reading about it in Woodalls. The staff were all friendly and helpful but the park itself was a disappointment. After driving down a 1 1/2 mile unpaved washboard road, we arrived at a campground with no paved roads, no concrete pads, or landscaping. I can't imagine what the parking sites are like when it rains. The restrooms were clean, but old, unheated, and covered with a screen door. If the outside temps are low, the showers will be cold. Water pressure is minimal. They do have WIFI, as advertised, but it is available only if you take your laptop to the office or clubhouse. The cable TV consisted of 6 channels and the picture was adequate. If you have a roof top satellite, you may have to search around for a site where you can get a good signal without interference from the trees. The park is a "natural" landscaped park with nothing but dirt roads and mowed grass/weeds to park your unit on. We camped there in a motorhome. I would stay there again only if there were no other vacancies in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campsites are 32 ft. wide, on grassy lawns, served by dirt connecting roads. Only about half of the sites have sewer hook-up. Tent sites are secluded and beautiful. A 1/2 mile scenic boardwalk takes one through a cypress swamp to the banks of the Suwannee River, where there is a deck for observaion and a dock for fishing boats. Not every site has a picnic table and there are only 3 community fire rings for the whole park. There is a laundry, horse shoe pitching area, and a small camp store. The staff is helpful and the park is clean and well-maintained. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Activities limited to a walk on the boardwalk to the river. It was interesting to see the swamp flora on the way. Roomy sites. Sewer is extra, 33ft is extra, 50 amp extra. Clubhouse closes at 4PM! Office closes at sundown. NO lights at night. About 6 channels of snow on "cable" TV. Very low water pressure. Sign in shower room "do not remove shower head. It will only reduce pressure for others". Old wooden bench in shower stall. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a lovely park staffed by lovely people. If you’re looking for serenity, this is the place. The 1500’ boardwalk to the river is mesmerizing, and the park is so far away from the lights and sounds of civilization, the star-gazing is the best I’ve seen since Yellowstone. The fence, gate, and remote location make this the safest-feeling park in the area. This is not a park for children (or adults for that matter) who can’t entertain themselves. The cable TV only has 6 channels and most sites are not close enough to the office to pick up the wifi signal. But if you take the pleasant stroll up to the office, you find the wifi works very well, and the office cat may even keep you company. The clubhouse is nice. The laundry is small, but functional. The restrooms are completely without frills, but are clean. Sites vary in size. The Old Town area offers little to do, but twenty minutes away, there’s a great little restaurant (inside a quilt shop) in Trenton. Cedar Key is an hour or so away, but well worth the drive for anyone interested in local art, and state parks and recreation areas highlight the natural beauty of the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice park in a quiet, peaceful area. Sites not that big but roomy enough, we have a 30 ft class A. Staff on check-in extremely friendly and helpful. Passport America and Good Sam park. Cable TV consists of six channels. Bathhouses are simple with no paper towels or a shelf or bench in the shower to set your stuff on but very clean and well maintained. Laundry is also very clean and organized but allows cold water washing only. The boardwalk leading to the Suwannee river is a neat feature; interesting birds and plants in the swamp leading to the river and a very nice view of the river at the end of the boardwalk. Dump station is easy to access. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is our second visit to this campground, so that we can visit old friends. The owners are great. Very helpful and friendly. The campsites are large and level, with the hookups easily accessible. There is not much to do there, but relax, walk on their boardwalk to the river, which is remarkable in the way it was constructed. It is a pleasant experience. Although this year we did not do it, by all means get a firepot brought to your site for a little more than $5, you can have the best campfire that lasts a long time and does not smoke, nor spit sparks, but provides lots of heat. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park to "get away from it all", hard to find in Florida. The owners are the most friendly hosts you will find in a campground. The sites are large and the grounds are very well maintained. The owners personally built the 1500' boardwalk to the river and it is an amazing piece of work. Take your coffee to the dock and enjoy the morning. We are told they put on a great Halloween party in the fall and "survivor" weekend in the spring. Call for dates. We came for a night and stayed for a week. We will be back. (Contrary to a previous post this was never a KOA - perhaps it was confused with another in Old Town) We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a fairly new campground, with wonderful owners. The boardwalk to the Suwannee
River is awesome and must have been difficult to build. Although they don't allow open fires at the sites, for $5 they rent you a fire pot, filled with wood. It is absolutely a great gadget and puts out so much heat. The sites were level and roomy and not crowded at all. A very nice campground We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is kind of a tough RV park for me to rate objectively. We are mostly one nighters when it comes to RV Parks on our way to our destination. I feel this park may be better suited for someone that is planning to spend some time here and enjoy the river and woods. The park itself is well maintained, but the roads are hard packed dirt and the sites are a combination of dirt, grass, and gravel. It was not raining when we were there so I'm not sure how the grounds would be in one of Florida's famous thunderstorms. The LONG road into the park is hard packed dirt and rough. Again, this could be a problem when it is raining. The restrooms were clean and well appointed, as were the restroom/shower combination. We did not get a chance to visit the clubhouse, or use the pool/spa. One thing that was a big negative to me was the additional $2 daily charge for a dog. This would not have bothered me if the park would have furnished something, anything, for pets. There is no fenced dog run, courtesy poop bags, nothing. Basically this park has the same pet rules as other parks and I feel the $2 daily charge per dog is just another way of squeezing more money out of a customer. The park does have cable with 18 stations including the local networks. It also has a very good WI-FI available at each site. The staff that I met were very friendly and efficient. The site that we had was heavily wooded which was nice from a shade point of view but it would make satellite reception next to impossible. All things considered this would be a nice place to spend a few days down by the river. I feel it is just a little too out of the way for a one night stay and the additional daily charge per pet really rubbed me the wrong way. We will probably not stay here again. This would be a nice park for someone that could appreciate it's location and what it can offer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this park. We've only been camping for a short time, but found everything we wanted. This is a very pet friendly park with very friendly campers. We found the "blonde, German Lady" who has received so many bad remarks to be extremely nice and helpful. We had a large pull through with a view of the river. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate so we weren't able to put our boat in the water. We will definitely return when the weather is nicer. We heard there is a good restaurant about 12 miles down the road in the town of Suwannee that we plan to try on our next trip. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is a little out there in the woods but has a nice setting. They have a wood oven heated spa and pool which is really nice. The restrooms are a bit tiny and not that convenient but they did the trick. The sites are shaded but when you arrive it's unclear where your space really is. The light is kept at a minimum at night. Wi-Fi is available for free at your site. We would stay here again for an overnight not longer mainly because of the spa. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice location way off the beaten path (11 miles) and right on the Suwannee River. Easy access in our 45ft MH Very quite location large floating docks and boat ramp. Lots of shade trees which did not allow satellite access, but they have 19 channels on cable hookup. Cell coverage was 0-1-bar for both AT&T and VERIZON. The Wi-Fi worked more than adequately. I can only image that this campground is better suited for winter visitors (BUGS). The owner was polite but did not offer an escort to our site.. not a big deal but it would have been helpful. The campground was clean and very orderly each site was more than adequate and well maintained for a gravel and sand drive and sand rv pads. We will return again We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is most unfortunate that the dark haired girl who was so friendly and helpful to everyone is no longer there. The blonde German lady who owns the park is so unbearably rude to people that we recommend avoiding this park due to the owners' ill temper and mean attitude towards their customers. Camping is supposed to be a fun experience, but when you are mistreated by the owners then it's best to avoid the park and go someplace where you feel welcome and can enjoy your camping experience as it should be.

We were very dissatisfied. Website is somewhat misleading. Staff or owners of campground very unfriendly and unwelcoming. Campground was probably 85% empty. I stayed in a campground cabin. The room I was given was very unclean. The bedding was unclean and room smelled of dog and mold. Requested a different cabin but was told I could not have one, although there were others available. I was denied a refund to go somewhere else as it was prepaid on my debit card. I am allergic to mold so my stay was very uncomfortable and unwelcome. I would not recommend visiting here as they are very unfriendly and you are made to feel as though you have no freedom to enjoy the campground they advertise on their website. The price of 140 dollars per night is not worth the drive to this campground. To bad, the scenery is beautiful but not worth it. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

The campground itself was nice. We camped there under the Passport America half price discount program, The park belongs to the system and advertises with the system and you would think that they would like to see campers come, especially during the slow season when the park was about 80 % empty. The staff was unwelcoming and we were made to feel like second class citizens. We use Passport America a lot and rarely see this happen. Passport America campers were relegated to the “cheap seats” in the back of the park, behind the bathhouses and pool. We paid $22 which was full price at many campgrounds and were limited to one night. We would have stayed two if we had felt welcome. I just thought the attitude was a little strange. We managed to enjoy ourselves and the sites were large and comfortable. There is a nice waterfront with docks, rental boats and such. There were also many little extras where you could tell the owners had tried to make it a great park. Need to work on employees next. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have camped here before. They have new managers and they are great! Busy holiday weekend and they did everything to help us out and make our stay great. Restrooms were cleaned constantly so was the pool area. They kept extra cars and boats off the site so it was really nice to drive in and out. Very clean! Helpful manager and staff! Beautiful park. We rented pontoon boats and had a great time. Great fireworks and CLEAN, especially on a fully packed holiday weekend. We WILL BE BACK!!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park itself is beautiful. Upon check in the office manager very rudely told me that my Good Sam discount would not be honored, because people like us took up the same space as everyone else. Also, they advertise high speed internet, it is about the same as dial up, when it works. When I inquired with the "office manager" I was told to get a pen, paper and stamp like everyone else. Restrooms backed up with septic sewage while we were there, and hadn't been cleaned by the time we left. Pool is not heated as advertised! Beautiful setting on the river, unhelpful, rude staff!

Very nice in office. Pool looked clean but it was raining so did not use it. It was 9 miles each way off the main highway. That's $6.00 worth of gas. Then they charged $4.00 extra for my two very small dogs. Then the modem was down for some reason or other. The utilities were all on the wrong side in our section and I still have not figured that out. Maybe set up for future park models? We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was not what my group was expecting at all. It was overall disappointing. My first complaint is that you have to pay an additional $6/person/night. That is if you have more than 2 in your party. I camped with my husband and 2 kids for a total of $78 for 2 nights. I thought that was a rip off. My next complaint is their web site is a little misleading. We paid the extra $5 to have a riverfront site. Well, you're not exactly riverfront. There's your campsite, the woods, & then the river. You can see the river from your site, but it's not right there. The pictures on Yellow Jacket's web site make it look like the river is right there. The docks they have are not really sufficient enough to fish off of. There is a bridged walkway to the dock, and then the dock is a floating dock. The bright side of things were, there was not that many people there, and the bathrooms were really clean. I mean really clean. Overall the experience was OK, not great. I would never go back.

A very clean, pretty and well maintained park on the Suwannee River, with friendly management and work campers. The sites are large and have picnic tables and fire pits. Only their firewood may be used in the firepits at $5 per bundle. We found 2 downsides to this campground. Firstly we couldn't get cell phone or internet access and also sitting outside in the evenings we were almost carried away by "no-see-ums". The fishing is very good and they rent boats. They have a great club house, it seems a real pity that they don't have winter activities. The campground is 9 miles out of Old Town, of which the last 2 miles are on a dirt road.

This park is beautiful. but the owners and their attitude leaves a lot to be desired. They do not give what they say over the phone. We were given a price over the phone then when we arrived they raised it. They have rules and more rules. They will fine you $35.00 for moving a picnic table if you do not put it back in the precise spot it was in.Every guest you have has to pay $5.00 per person. even if they stay 5 mins. and they are very demanding about getting the money. They are NOT handy cap accessable. the only ramp is at the office and this is so steep it is hard for anyone to walk up it. They said the Rec hall was AC> But didn't bother to say it had been broken for a while. when we arrived they didn't say the sewer could not be used till after they had the money in hand. most parks would have taken off several $ but not here. It is a shame that the owners have no training in public relations.This is the highest priced park in the area. There are other parks a lot cheaper and closer to town. We will NEVER go back here again and it is all due to the management. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Adequate cable. 9 miles off rt. 19, so its a long roundtrip out to the crossroads. Very nice at the office. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a beautiful campground, with lots of upgrades in the last few years. We had a site along the riverfront (#10) which was right at the dock - great for the kids, however, I would not recommend this site as it was the access for the rest of the campers to the dock. There are large and small trees surrounding the sites, which are a fairly good size and covered with sand and grass. I would have given this campground a 10 if there more amenities - virtually no store, or kids activities; couldn't use cell phone and "sand gnats" were bad - got lots of bites. However, it's a wonderful place to just be out in nature - we rented a boat for the afternoon and enjoyed fishing on the Suwannee and stopped at Manatee Springs for a swim. This was one of the few campgrounds we found in Florida who actually allowed open campfires. I would highly recommend this campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground is one of the best we have been in. We camped right on the river. Sites 1-6 are the best view. They have boats to rent or canoes, if you don't have your own. Pool and spa were very nice. Very pet friendly. We certainly will be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This an old fish camp directly on the Sumannee river. Has new owners who are making wholesale improvements. Pool to be built soon. Close enough to town but far enough away. Highest rate is on river ($25.00). Lots of room for tent or dry camping. We camped here in a camper.
