Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer connections make it a functional base for RV travelers, and tent campers have walk-in access as well. Nightly rates run $15 to $40. Amenities include drinking water, showers, toilets, a dump station, and WiFi, covering the basics for a low-effort overnight stop. Campers who want to stay close to home without sacrificing hookups will find this a practical fit, and those exploring camping spots near Fruitland Park have a few alternatives worth comparing.
Description
From the creators of Big Kahuna’s we are proud to present our amazing resort located on the Blackwater River offering canoeing, kayaking, cabins and camping. We are located on 48 acres of pristine campground, offering primitive camping, and 30-50 Amp RV hookups. We have a shuttle that leaves our resort, takes you up the Blackwater River to various drop points depending on the length of your trip. The ending point of your trip is our resort, so when you are done you are at your safely parked vehicle, cabin or tent.
We have three beautiful rustic cabins on site for those who want to make a weekend of it, or turn a long full day trip into an overnight stay. Secluded (non-primitive) cabins have indoor kitchens, baths, air conditioning and all necessary linens. Additionally, each has a charcoal grill, fire ring, and picnic table.
