Best Time to Camp at Peacock Slough Campground

The campground welcomes visitors every day of the year, whether you're seeking summer adventure or a peaceful winter paddle through Florida's mild seasons. Before launching your trip, always check current river levels—the Suwannee is a living river that can rise quickly after heavy rains, occasionally affecting campsite access and creating strong currents.
