Wonderful Family Friendly Campground

In Florida you want to camp near water in the summer - especially the springs! This lovely spot can be found down a windy road and right on the Chassahowitzka (or Chaz if you are a local) River. There are a variety of campsites available - great for tents (primitive - no water/elec) and RV's/hookups. Most sites are well shaded. They have pavilions and a store/ office. Most of the buildings are older and musty - but this is old Florida...You must call in advance to reserve sites - even for tent camping and verify their hours if you are a late arrival! The real bonus of this location is the river access - located just a hundred yards across the river from 7 Sisters Spring. You can kayak/canoe the river for days and not see all the springs. Tons of wildlife from birds to manatee - even a couple alligators. Fishing the river is wonderful. Note you have to leave vehicle at campsite if you are launching your canoe/kayak - no parking near launch. They also rent canoes/kayaks. If you need a break from the river there are many attractions and restaurants close by in Homosassa and Crystal River. Yulee Sugar Mill State Park is a very quick roadside visit with hte historic print museum and great Cuban sandwiches right next door. The Homosassa Wildlife State Park features Florida natives and the only hippo that is an "official localresident"
