Learn more about alerts →Paddlers and hikers who want easy boat ramp access to the Suwannee-Withlacoochee confluence and trails past bluffs, springs, and Lime Sink Run. Cabin renters get the best deal here, reviewers call them spacious and well-equipped, and they book fast.
Longer rigs have struggled on tight back-in sites, one reviewer with a 26-footer needed staff help to relocate. Summer heat, serious humidity, and heavy mosquito pressure also make late spring or fall a much better bet than July or August.

Availability, what to pack, similar spots — ask anything and get an instant answer.
Plan your visit between late fall and early spring for the most comfortable camping experience, when pleasant temperatures and lower humidity make every outdoor activity more enjoyable—plus you'll have fewer mosquito companions on your hikes. The campground welcomes visitors year-round, though summer brings the full Florida experience: steamy heat, afternoon thunderstorms that can transform trails into mud paths, and higher water levels that give the river even more character.
Late fall through early spring called most comfortable; winter likely best season for visits.
