Ichetucknee Springs Campground

This has been one of the best campgrounds I’ve been to in Florida. We got here on a Thursday and it wasn’t too busy, the camp host was sure to give us a spot that was more private/big. There are so many adorable animals roaming around, my favorite was Daisy the pig (who acts more like a dog). My favorite part of the campgrounds was the rec room that felt like a 70s time capsule. Older arcade games, a fireplace, two pool tables, a jukebox, air hockey, comfy couches. Seriously such a vibe of a place!

I have really been enjoying my stay at this campground but I can see how it wouldn't be for everybody, mainly RVS.

The location to the State Park cannot be beat.  I stayed here for two nights and spent almost the entire day at the State park.  HOT TIP: Go to the South side for tubing and early as you can.  I got in right before the school kids came to ruin the fun.  The North side gate is right next to the campground and provides two swimming holes.

Ok, back to the campground: the main building is where they have the office, restrooms, game room and showers behind the building.  The camp offers firewood and ice deliveries to your camp for a fee.

There are animals of plenty in this campground.  They use animals to curb the bugs and overgrowth.  Most of them roam free for parts of the day.  And I do have to say that the animals are doing a great job.  So far I've seen pigs, goats, a donkey, chickens, guineafowl, cats and dogs.  When I was here they had just purchased a new flock of baby chickens and turkeys.  All of the animals are either friendly or a tad skittish, so respect their space.

Sites offered are either primitive, camping with electric or with water and electric.  There are two community sinks with potable water.  There is also a dump station if you're into that sort of thing.  There's only one toilet per gender and two showers out back.  I can see how that would be a problem at the height of the season but I had absolutely no trouble with it while visiting during the week in late May.

The only thing I didn't enjoy about this campground was the incredibly fine sand it has.  I've only been in Florida for two days so I don't know if that's common or not.  It's not a mark against the campground, cuz nature, just something to think about especially if it will rain during your stay or if you have a large RV.

My fiance and I came for a week tent camping. Very friendly staff, clean facilities. Cozy game room for when we got a little bored. Great stay!
