Stayed a month for the rate. Nice, quiet park without a lot of activities, but mostly seniors which was fine with us. Monthly sites were large with patios, and excellent water pressure and power. Older park, but being updated, but not a park for families with kids, but the best park for people with dogs, People that like to hike, to mountain bike, as there are miles and miles of trails off site. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Entrance is set back and easy to miss. Gravel sites are fairly level, some more than others, some tight spots to maneuver around. Wi-Fi worked very well and free. Very close to trails and river for recreation. Staff friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Older park but owners seem very nice. Several full time people live here. This is more like a mobile home park and not a campground. Several old looking RV's here. Need to clean up some. Need to attract more travelers. Not a pleasant looking entrance, makes you want to turn around before you enter. Clubhouse is OK, they do have a great breakfast for $3.00. I would go back again but they need to repair roads and sites as most are gravel. One night campers are not accepted by the live in's. They seem to have little groups more like the trailer parks. Campgrounds are different. I guess do to the fact you don't really get to know anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed just one night. Pass Port America rate $15 for a full hook up. Gravel sites. Our rig is 65 ft. including toad. Easily fit on site. Some older trailers here. Not the prettiest park but for a on night lay over it is AOK. Free Wi FI work good on site 50. Will stop again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I really do not like posting poor reviews, but this park is just not what it used to be. The owners are not friendly, the sites are adequate, but the management fosters an atmosphere of hostility from many of the residents toward newcomers or those in other cliques. It was an atrocious stay. No pool or hot-tub in Florida. I'm sorry but Kelly's gets a big thumbs down. Will NOT stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Price reflects the nightly Passport America rate - we've been traveling the country for two years and this is the only park we've found at which the already low weekly rate is cut in half for the Passport discount. The weekly rate on Passport is $55+$4.95 tax. This rate is good for two weeks only. A very nice park with friendly people. Bingo on wednesday nights, crafts on Tuesdays, Pot lucks and breakfast. Park has access to public lands that border it and there are numerous trails. Two miles from Stephen Foster Cultural Center State Park and 10 miles from Lake City. We stayed here over Thanksgiving and had a wonderful turkey dinner provided by the park. We toured the other parks in the area and this seems to be the nicest one. WE would definitely return to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park just south of White Springs on US 41. Pull-thru sites are gravel, but there are some back-ins with concrete pads in the back of the park. Nice clubhouse with satellite TV, but no cable. Lots of trees and birds. Two nature trails that we didn't explore. Several full-time mobile homes near the front entrance. Potluck suppers on Wed nights and breakfast Sat mornings at the club house. A quiet friendly park near I-10 and I-75. New owners are welcoming and anxious to please. PA and Good Sam discounts. Would be a 10 if they had cable and a pool. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We found this to be a lovely campground for a couple nights stay. No, it does not have a pool or game room but is a very pretty, quiet little campground. Owner takes obvious pride in keeping the place very clean and pretty. Lots of little decorative details located all over the campground. Room for any size rig. They do have a restrictive dog policy that includes what most would consider "aggressive breeds" like pit bulls and all their variations. Verizon cell and air card works well. Laundry cost is $1.25 per load. Liked the trash receptacles located throughout the campground. Good common area for walking pets. Few restrictions with Passport America. Easy access to I-75 and I-10 and campground is easy to find. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We only stayed 1 night but sites were level (no cement pads), all pull-thrus, and it was very quiet. No restrictions on using PA or Camp Club except Memorial Day. Since we were only there 1 night (and it rained all night) we did not check out the laundry, showers, etc. Nothing fancy but we will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were surprised; this is a very nice, clean campground. Bring your dish because you can not get TV. Free Wi-Fi and it works well. Verizon did not work here. Manager was very friendly and efficient. It was not crowded and sites are spread out. Can handle most any size rig. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice campground. Lots of trees. Flat ground. Lots of pull-throughs. Neat, clean, well-kept, friendly staff. We really loved it and would recommend it. With our "Golden Age" pass, we paid $15.something for one night for a full hook-up. Stay there you will like it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We are very suspicious as to why this campground has so many very high ratings. Sure it's newer and very clean. The grassy sites make the park highly attractive on first view, but there is nothing to do either at the park or in the direct vicinity, and the park has NO amenities. We also have never felt to unwelcome at an RV park. Upon check in, we learned the park is cash only, which we were not told when we made the reservation, and our teenage son was told he was not to leave the RV without an adult, not even for the showers as he "might damage something." Yes, the Wi-Fi was good, but we were told to get on and get off quickly as they could not afford a good system. Rules and warnings were everywhere. The park, which was mostly empty, also presented a VERY lonely, isolated feel, and with nothing to do, the few other campers kept inside their RVs. On the plus side, the restrooms were very clean and the showers nice and hot with great water pressure. We will not be staying here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The campground and recreation room/office were very neat and clean. Our site was #28, a pull thru. The wifi was excellant, all hook-ups looked new, the site was level and we received a good satillite signal. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very well maintained RV Resort. The Owner directed us to a grassy, level, site. It had full hookups. They have strict rules, and that is the reason the park is so clean and quiet. We stayed two nights and enjoyed the nearby Stephen Foster State Park. We will go back again when in the area. They honered the Golden Age passport for 50% off their regular rates. Cash only for the discount. A modem hookup is at the restroom entrance and a small clubhouse with cable tv is available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Rate was Camping Club rate. Stayed 4 nights in motorhome. Owners very friendly and helpful. Park grounds very well kept. Facilities immaculate. Very good stop along I-10 or I-75, just north of Lake City. Will stop again when in area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We pulled in late with no reservations and self registered. Sites were very level and large. After setting up, we took showers in family restrooms, which makes sense, as it increases ability to get folks in/out. I needed to get online and found four links for the park; they have a booster routing system so no matter where you are, you will have good reception. Next morning, we were leaving and I stopped to chat with the owner. Very nice and friendly. As we walked the mobile home/RV park, residents were friendly and willing to chat. Several offered suggestions for places to visit or good places to shop. If you like to bike or hike, this campground backs on hundreds of acres of government land for this. All in all, an excellent experience. Yes, they are Passport America and rate is valid in off season. Roads are paved and easy to manuever. Definitely willing to go back and relax. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Price reflects Passport America discount. This is an excellent place to stay when spending time in this area or just passing through along I-75 or I-10. The owners are dedicated and hard-working people who clearly like what they're doing and keeping the place neat and clean. Sites are generally level and satellite service can be used on most. Sites are grass or gravel. The shower and restroom facility is among the cleanest we've ever run across. We felt welcome and will certainly put this on our list of places to return to when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I've never felt so unwelcome in all my travels. I don't know what you people are used to, but the management here was far from friendly and not at all helpful. I almost took my money off the counter and walked out...they make it very, very clear...if you aren't a senior citizen or petless...you're not wanted. The place was virtually empty, but you would have thought she was doing me a huge favor by taking my money. Good luck to you if you decide to stay here, but there are some fabulous state parks very close by. My advice is to keep driving. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The nightly cost reflects PA rate. I'm not sure where a prior reviewer stayed because the current owners have been here 19 years and keep the park very neat and clean including the bath house. They remodeled the office, meeting room and laundry area last summer. The sites are mostly level, sand and grass, pull-throughs. This is not a resort or destination park and do not advertise themselves as such but is great for an overnight stay or for a few days while visiting the area. They are very close to I-75 and one exit away from I-10. The owners are very nice and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
OK for an over night stay. It is very clean. The sites are sand and grass, but level, and any size rig will fit. Be sure and ask for an open space so you can use your satellite. (If you don't have a tripod). There is virtually no antenna reception. Very reasonable--$14.00. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Terrible campground....we stayed here a few years ago and loved it but now the new owners have not done any improvements. Will not go back We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here a few times as it is close to family in Live Oak. Nightly rate posted is before any discounts. Cash only. Owners are nice, but now charge $1 per day for sewer if you use it. $2 extra for 50 amp service. Tax is 9%. Restrooms and showers are clean and nice. There are no real amenities, but sites are good. There is no pool. Extremely easy in and out for any size rig. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is oriented towards the overnight traveler. There are the basic services including laundry with no activities. The grass sites are located around the perimeter with plenty of open space in the center of the park and a wooded undeveloped area for walking. It is convenient to I-10 Nd I-75 but far enough away that there is no highway noise. Free Wi-Fi is available and a new lounge is being constructed and furnished. Over the air TV reception was fair to poor with limited channel selection. A very nice overnight stop at the $14 Passport America/Happy Camper rate. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very clean, very friendly management. A quiet park, not too much happening in the surrounding area except the Stephen Foster Historical Museum in White Springs. That alone is worth the stop. Easy in and out. However, DO NOT trust your GPS to get you there. For some reason the management says they hear frequent complaints from folks who say their GPS put them 10 miles off course, and it happened to us too. This is one of the nicer campgrounds we have stayed at, mostly for a great value for the dollar. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Who knew Stephen Foster wrote the state songs for Florida and Kentucky and the Compton Races? I hadn't until we stayed at this campground / Culture Center. There is a Clarion that plays Stephen Foster Music at 10, 12, 2 and 4 during the day which is a nicer then expected bonus to the stay. It's loud enough to be heard clearly in the campground but not loud enough you can't continue a conversation while it's playing. The sites were very private, good size, with lots of room for a 34 foot fifth wheel and a 22 foot truck. Enough privacy that you didn't really notice your neighbors sitting out around their campfires, as you sat out next to yours. There was a lot of rain when we were here, but the sites are sand and gravel with good drainage so it wasn't a worry at all. The river was flooding so we couldn't go on the hike next to it. We will be back here in years to come as we travel down away from the weather in winter. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A very nice state park. The RV pads are hard pack dirt and gravel. The museum is nice, but rather small. Various small crafts shops, but most were not open during our stay. The gift shop was open however, and now has Wi-Fi available. Lack of sewer hook ups inhibit the length of stay. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our second stay here and what peace and quiet! We did not even unhook the car. Our site was great and we were even able to get satellite TV...an extra bonus for my football fan husband. The grounds are very pretty and are being decorated for the holidays. The rate reflects a prepay from months ago and the current rate is $20 a night plus tax. Well worth the money. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our second stay at SF. I love the look of the park which includes a variety of terrain. The park includes open grassy areas, wooded trails for hiking or biking, an area of shops (mostly rural artisan) , a carillon, a museum and more. Campsites are very large, neat and clean. Washrooms are spotless. If you hit the park when there is a scheduled activity, there is more to do e.g. coffee houses (open mic, once a month). Otherwise enjoy a beautiful, quiet, peaceful, serene RV experience. Canoes and kayaks can be rented to cruise the Suwannee River. We didn’t get to Big Shoals bike trail yet but we will be back. Fast, free Wi-Fi is now available at the Gift Shop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is an absolutely gorgeous campground with over-sized campsites, trees for shade, lots of open space, and only a few 50 amp sites. We just needed a place for one night and stumbled into this one. We would definitely return for a place for peace and quiet for a few days. We were in between the artisans and would come back when they were in camp. The price of $8 is the Florida senior rate (50% off). Once again, Florida has shown itself to have great state parks! We had a pull through site that accommodated everything. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have always found most state parks to be excellent. Florida is no exception. The Stephen Foster Cultural Center State Park was lovely with great bathhouse, large shaded sites, lots of space between sites, and plenty to do. (Well, maybe not for kids other than the playground.) They have a museum dedicated to Stephen Foster and a large carillon that chimes the quarter hour and 3-4 times a day plays about 10 minutes of Stephen Foster tunes. We sat on a bench under trees and listened to one concert of bells. The first weekend of each month is Artists month and the cultural center had blacksmiths, wood carvers, potters, painters, jewelers and musicians. We had no problem with bugs and our son was able to put his tent on our pull through site at no additional cost. If you can get in, this is a great spot to stay and see the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I would give this campground a 10, but I prefer sewer hookups. We stopped here on our way to Disney. A very nice and quiet campground. Please see my Disney Camp Wilderness review. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed on site #15 a PT. There are only 4 sites with 50A(2,4,6,11) book early if needed. This was our second stay that I have reviewed so I won't go into basics again. Sites are mostly larger than average with plenty of shade. Bathrooms clean. No TV even with digital converter. Better have a satellite if you can't miss a show. We usually just watch news at night but couldn't even get that. We keep missing out on all the craftspeople. We tend to come between festivals and they are not always there in their cottages. The store is awesome though. Lots of great things to buy and most are handmade. We tried the trails this time and they are very easy to hike or bike. Basically grass road beds so no wondering where the path is. We also went to FL Nature and Tourism Center which is right outside the park. This is a great place to get info on any state park in FL. Workers were very helpful, and even called another park to answer a question we had. Toured Big Shoals and Olustee parks which are very close by(w/i 15 mi). Found out that there are no rangers programs at SF even though the website says there are. Ranger told us it's because they have so many festivals during the year. Definitely want to stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice as stated in other reviews. We were only able to stay one night so we will need to go back again. Not sure about the 50 amp hookups. Dump station was in a good location, but we did not bother. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Beautiful campground. Sites could have some more privacy, but that is all that is lacking. Sites are absolutely flat. Electric and water hookups only. There are many pull-throughs. Reservations are recommended if you want a particular site. We just drove up, on a Monday in February, and were lucky to get in. Price is $16 plus sales and lodging tax, making it $17.60. Would definitely stay here again, and for several days. There is much to do in the immediate area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you can deal with the lack of sewer and internet, this place may be the best campground you will ever see. The sites are huge, and gorgeous, the park is beautiful, and the rangers and crafts people are friendly and helpful. There is no cable, but broadcast TV is good. We stayed 3 nights, and would go back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful park. We stopped here on our way to southwest Florida since it is not very far from I-10 and I-75. It is situated amongst live oaks full of Spanish moss. The sites are extremely private and the park is very quiet. The park is excellent for walking and is on the banks of the Suwanee River which is a very popular kayaking spot. We had a long pull through site and there was no need to disconnect the toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a outstanding top rated FL state park. Looks like a small town park with RV parking. All roads are asphalt. Sites are super size with gravel. One we had was 30' wide X 200' long with 50 amps, water, table and fire ring. Lots of room from site to site with trees. Park sets on Suwannee River and is beautiful. One could live here all the time and never move. In all our years of RV life this tops them all for state parks. Bathrooms are new and state of art. Park people work all the time to keep up everything. Stephen Foster museum, carillon bell tower with music at 10-2-4 on the hour with Stephens songs, he wrote 200 songs. You have Nelly Bty's kitchen, cabins, and trails to walk on. Park has tons of oak trees. DTV will pick up channel 5 at times. Verizon cell phone works here. Dump station was great and layout was correct. Staff was nice at check in plus everyone we talked to in park. Gates are locked at 10:00 pm. Playground equipment in park but not in RV side. We will return anytime we move up and down I-75. Rates are for age 65 and we live in FL. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a beautiful park. Large sites. Both pull through and back in. Wonderful places to walk with large moss draped trees. White Springs is a quaint little town within walking distance from the park. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is one of our favorite places to stay. It is wonderful to listen to the Carillon as it plays during the day. The museums, both in the carillon and the separate building are wonderful. In spring, beautiful flowers are everywhere. The river was swollen while we were there. It was good to see after last year's drought. This stay we were fortunate enough to catch the shops at Craft Square open. Very nice. Camp sites are so nice and large and roomy. They are dirt but nice and level. Bathhouse is clean and in good running order. It is an easy walk from the campground to the carillon, museum, craft shops and river. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Quiet, beautiful, secluded campground tucked among oak trees. This folk culture campground honors composer Stephen Foster with museums, cultural events and educational programs. We had a spacious, long pull-through site with ample space for our big rig. We walked into the Stephen Foster museum, located at the campground, just before closing and the museum attendant gracefully gave us a tour. There is also a nice gift shop. There are several state parks to visit in the area. Make reservations for camping or cabins at Reserveamerica. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed 2 nights and wish we could have stayed longer.Loved this park. Spacious private sites. Very clean and well kept.Great place to just relax. We will be back... We camped here in a Motorhome.
We camped here for six nights in November 2007. For us, this campground lived up to its rave reviews. It is neat and clean with very large, level sites which have easy access. The park is the home of a giant folk festival each year but public camping is not allowed during the festival. The top features for us include the beauty of the park, the hiking trails, the museum, the craft village and the carillon which plays Stephen Foster songs every two hours. The Suwannee River is right beside the park. You can see this famous river from the hiking trails or from a canoe or kayak, rented nearby. For those who want a wild time, choose another park. This is a fantastic place to go to relax. We will definitely go back. We camped here in a fifth wheel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were in site #4 which was a large PT (about 80 ft long). We visited between the Folk festival, which had been rescheduled from earlier due to fires and a New Healing Arts festival. Therefore our visit was very quiet. There were no artisans there during the week. The craft store was still open and had many very nice crafts from the area. There are 2 museums on the premises and several buildings used for festivals. There is a nice playground close to the cabin and craft area, though none in the camping area. There is no swimming in the park. Canoing is available from an outside vendor, who will bring the canoes into the park and set you up. The bathhouses were the cleanest I have ever seen and I believe they are also brand new. The campground host was concerned if anything was not right and said he would make sure to fix it if it wasn't. There is a carillon that plays notes every 15 min. and at 10, 12, 2, and 4 plays SF's songs. It was very relaxing to sit outside and hear them. The carillon only plays between 8 am-6 pm. There is 1 dump station at the beginning of the camping area, but it is very large and easy to maneuver through. All sites have a table, fire ring with grill and w/e. The town of White Springs is very close by although we did not go into town. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice park. Large private sites. Very clean. Lots to do at the park. Had the best lunch at an old hotel right in town. Stayed 2 nights. Would stay here again for sure. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed here for 2 nights as a "layover" on our trip to Georgia. This park is very nice with much to see and do right inside. The Suwannee River runs through and there are places to fish including a floating dock. Canoe rentals are nearby but we didn't have a chance to get on the river. The huge bell tower plays beautiful music several times each day. The entire park is immaculate. Campsites were mostly large and fairly private. Staff very helpful. Next time we will stay longer. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of the most beautiful state parks we have camped at. Big rig access was great unlike some Florida State Parks. We plan to stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice state park. Lots to do here. The Stephen Foster Center has a lot of info on the songwriter. the CG itself is wonderful. Large, open sites. You are not crammed in next to your neighbor. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park has beautiful grounds and a very interesting museum. We were very happy with site #7; a long, level, back-in site with good landscaping for some privacy. All of the sites in this loop seemed spacious except for 1 and 3 which were quite close together. We have a 30 ft class A. Bathhouses were very clean and modern with one washer and dryer outside. Television reception was marginal for us. Except for the pleasant sound of the Carillon bells playing Stephen Foster tunes this park was remarkably quiet even though it looked full every evening. Dump station was easy to access. A visit to the Olustee Battlefield NM is an easy, worthwhile side trip. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is only a few miles from two major interstates (I-75 near I-10). Still, the park was very quiet. The only noise comes from the large bell tower that plays some of Stephen Foster’s music during regular business hours, even on the weekend. We walked over to the museum, bell tower, and craft areas. We also strolled down to the Suwannee River. Some of the campsites are in an open area that is mostly covered by very large trees containing Spanish Moss. Other campsites are amongst dense foliage. All the campsites are gravel. Some of very large and would almost hold two campers. Overall, a very nice park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
First time here. Beautiful park. Has a museum and bell tower which plays Stephen Foster songs. You can rent canoes just outside park & we did for a 9 mile trip. About $35 for a couple-you can take your dog also! We road bikes allover, had washer/dryer if needed at bathhouse. Has a gift shop and people who show you how to make items from back in the day. I bought a walking stick while there as it was a few days before the Folk Festival! (Too bad we didn't know it was coming) We will definitely go back. Large sites, some up to 100' deep. Level, fire rings, we had no bugs but lots of fire flies at night. It was a pleasure to be in such a beautiful state park. Also has a small diner on the premises which is not open every day though. We will definitely go back. It is definitely a 10! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This 888 acre park features a newly renovated campground with 45 oak-shaded sites.
Interior roads are paved. Sites are level, gravel, and very private with plenty of trees and scrub between them. The park has a craft shop, gift store and museum. it is located on the banks of the Suwannee river. Activities include fishing, canoeing, on and off-road bicycling, and relaxing. The town of White Springs, with a post office, grocery and small restaurant, is within walking distance. The park gate is locked at sunset with combination provided to campers. Enjoy We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were somewhat surprised because this place recently turned into a KOA. They were not in our guide though. The people their are very friendly and did give us the Campclubusa discount even though they were going to stop it. The campground is really peaceful and nice. We planned to stay one night but we stayed longer because we liked the atmosphere there. Wifi is free and is available in the recreation room and laundry. They organize some fun stuff like ice cream socials and BBQ's for a fair price. The restrooms and showers were clean but they can use some improvement. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The rate given is the Passport America park and the primary reason we chose this park. It seems to be an older park with some needed TLC. This could be due to the terrain, however, which is very sandy. The roads are not paved and not well-maintained, many ruts throughout. Although the price is right, there are other parks in the area we would try before coming back here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed for one month in this older park. My nightly rate is approximate. The monthly rate was $333 and electricity was extra. It is a pretty park directly on the Suwannee River with lots of live oaks, Spanish moss and sand. They are trying to recover under new management from a period of very poor management, but apparently the owners are not putting much money into it according to regular visitors that we met while we were there. Lots of older rigs and many rigs are in storage there as well. I wish them luck. Very interesting area to visit with good hiking close by. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice big park. Grass & lots of shade trees. Nice pool. Older place, but not old in a bad way. The people working there and the "snowbirds" were some of the most friendly anywhere. The have group activities there - such as a potluck and nightly dominoes/cards when we were there. We enjoyed being able to have a campfire. We had good WiFi service (free)and a nice laundry room. We felt comfortable there and there wasn't a bunch of staff there policing the place making sure that people didn't break any rules. If we wanted to be left alone, we were left alone. If we wanted to be friendly and join in, we were welcomed. I would definitely stay there again. We originally were scheduled to spend only one day there - but ended up staying 4 because we enjoyed the atmosphere so much. We'll stay again on our way back through. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an older park but the management is working on fixing it up. The staff is very friendly. Clubhouse has a huge TV, card games nightly, potluck dinners and crafts were all offered during our stay. The pool was not open, they were cleaning and painting the pool deck. We launched our kayaks from campground and the owner offered to help us shuttle our truck down river. We also hiked the Florida Trail which goes through the campground. White Springs is a really charming town built in the late 1800's. We camped here in a Tent.
Not sure if it was end of season or beginning of summer season, but there were numerous issues with campground. Sites are nice, not too close together. But sote had few supplies, pool was undergoing repair, showers were very poor condition and water pressure minimal. Playground and equipment needed looking after. They have some nice things for long term campers--socials, dinners, etc. , but treated short time guests poorly. In particular, our son and daughter-in-law (late 20s) were rudely treated. We noticed that the campground catered to long term campers and older (over 50) people. We had no problems, but were upset with treatment of our kids. Not sure I'd go back, especially not with family (who camped in separate area in tents. We camped here in a Motorhome.
When we first got there, we were yelled at for changing our reservation well in advance of the 24 hours mark. They did not write down the new plans so the general manager Melody yelled at me for no reason. I can't help it if they don't do their jobs. The staff here is VERY rude. The pool was being worked on, only 1 shower in the girls room, and only 3 working toilets in the womens room. The volleyball net is broken as are the basketball hoops. The dog park in the camp is terrible. Not worth taking your dog into it. This camp is not recommended for bringing children. It is for very OLD people. Barely any children around. Staff actually yelled at kids too. The river is beautiful but I will not be coming back...The staff never even apoligized....Worst campground I've ever been to. We camped here in a Tent.

This is a nice park and very quiet. Maintenance is adequate--it appears they're keeping it natural in many ways. Roads and pads are sand as are most patches in the grass they attempt to grow around each site. Sites are LARGE. Internal roads are narrow and crooked but easy to maneuver. Residents and management are friendly and guest services above average. Television and cell phone reception is marginal; WIFI pretty much non-existant. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Out of the way and rustic. Pleasant place to overnight and there were lots of additional things for people to do during long stays. Needed electrical maintenance was in progress while we were there. Voltage was low. All part of the adventure. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very nice stop for overnight, many very old trees and tight sites. Can be a challenge for longer rigs. People are very friendly, nice and helpful. They have just installed wireless internet pay as you go service. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Cabins were nice. Would have been better if a person could get any TV channels. Office people were nice. Roads aren't the greatest, mostly dirt. A lot of things to do. Have to travel aways to do them though. Saturday night BBQ is the best. Will go back again. We camped here in a .
Beautiful park in a great setting on the Suwannee River. Extremely quite. Shaded sites. They were just setting up wi-fi while we were there. Plenty to do in the area. Small village nearby for restaurants and groceries. Unable to use pool and spa because they were both very, very dirty. We camped here in a Motorhome.
My family has been coming to this park since 1998 and after our last experience,I could
not recommend staying there.I made reservations two months in advance and on Valentine's Day 2004, I arrived to find that my cabin had been rented to someone
else.(Cabin was reserved with a credit card).Totally clueless employees."The computer screwed up" doesn't pass the smell test.(There was an event nearby this weekend).All in all,a ruined vacation and no help or concern from management.This is a pretty park with a pretty good location,but if your reservation is no good,you make the trip at your own risk.Be careful. We camped here in a Campground Cabins.

We have been stopping here for over 10 years as it is just a few miles from I75 and the present owners are wonderful. It is definitely a pet friendly park with a separate playground for dogs only. It is in Passport America so the nightly rate is only $8.50 if you are a member. There is an excellent restaurant in town at the old hotel that is worth the visit to white springs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is good for a short stay. A little off the beaten track but not too far from I75. Nearest major shopping about 20 miles away. Some small stores closer. Park is right on the Suwannee River with canoe/kayak rentals. There are trees scattered around and sites are mostly grassy with some sand. Nice office/lounge building with pool table, TV, etc. Everything was clean and campground is quiet. Small playground and also fenced play area for pets. Biggest drawback is no TV reception from rooftop antenna and no cable. You'll need a dish if you want TV. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
