Nice pool and hot tub. Weekly activities and amazing people!
Guide
We picked a spot way out of the way from people and it was great. Bathrooms within walking distance. Pool and hot tub are great.
GuideThey have everything! Pool, hot tub, tvs, pigeons, chicken, primitive spots, rv spots, laundry, you could live here all year. Their lodge and resturaunt is cute. Their employees are friendly. They have a spring too and we camped right on the river.
ScoutWhile the bar area is great here everything else could use some tlc. The water randomly shuts off sometimes for hours. The bathrooms back up. Which is soo gross. The hot tub they advertise never works. We have gone to this campground 3 times in the last year and regret it every time.
Guide
The office staff is very helpful and nice.
The location itself is pretty remote and not close to many amenities. The sites are pretty difficult to get into based on the layout. I would not recommend this place to a newbie as it is nearly impossible to get into a lot of these sites without having nearby sites empty to use their space. I struggled even with the adjacent sites being empty. The sites are close together, but the staff does a good job spreading out their reservations. We booked a riverview site, but there is a good amount of marsh between our site and the river, so the view is not that impressive. The single digit sites have a better river view than double digits. The site is pretty level, and I do like that it is rock/gravel and not dirt. The hookups are at the front of the site, which requires you to have an additional 25 feet of hose and power. The staff does warn you prior to arrival of this, so we were well prepared. Wifi is good within the campground, but I couldn't get the cable to work. There is a boat slip and boat rentals available on-site. There is also a pool and hot tub ( the hot tub was not functional during our visit). Good amount of shade within the entire campground, which is nice in the summer months. Depending on what you are looking for, this campground may or may not be for you.
Guide
Nice clean CG. Pool and hot tub well kept. Staff very friendly. When making reservations make sure to book towards the center of the park. We were in site 129A. The road noise was constant and loud. Site 127A was so close to us that our picnic table was beside their septic hose. Would stay here again just in an inner site.
Guide
My family and I had an incredible experience at black prong. Massive RV pad, full hookups, Golf Cart, plus privacy between you and your neighbor. As an added bonus we were able to bring our horse for trail rides throughout the park. Tons of room and friendly staff. Highly recommend. (Didn’t use the pool or hot tub but they looked nice and well kept)

Excellent park, great attractions nearby!
We have tried to come here each year. It is a larger park, with many residents or longer term or leave the rig weekenders. On the weekends this park is a lot of fun with the boaters and weekenders. This park likes to party!
The park is very tropical, lush, and landscaping is really pretty. They have a great pool, hot tub, clubhouse area.
Some RV sites are a challenge to get into, some are larger. They prioritize based on the size of your rig mostly.
They have some spots near the canal or on the water and many that are not.
Cell signals: T-Mobile was great, AT&T was decent.
They have: 1 Pool 1 Hot Tub Club House Mail Room A small pond Alligators Basketball Kids play area I’ve Cream Stand Food trucks sometimes Volleyball Canal Shower House Laundry Boat Slips Boat Ramp
Nearby to Crystal River, FL. Nearby there is an awesome rock beach, Manatees, and a walking path through wetlands. There is a fun downtown area and historical area. Lots of great restaurants in town and local bars and fisheries.
TravelerSRRR is a 40 acre park with country-clever DIY vibes and unusual artifacts including a handmade automated bowling alley in an abandoned chicken coop with mechanical levers that return balls and reset pins, weekly events ranging from chicken shit bingo to pigeon racing, a dog park, and a cozy spring-side divey lodge-like restaurant. Despite its name, convict spring is a beautiful clear fresh water spring, best appreciated in winter when no kids are kicking up dirt in it. I have tent-camped in a lovely prim spot beside the river and also RV camped with my Skoolie here. I adore the beauty of the location, spring-side on the broad Suwannee River, but had to subtract one star for the horrendously bad and unwelcoming (verging on foreboding) service at the cafe, and disappointment that the hot tub was closed both times we visited. Will def return to this spot.
LegendWe stayed in the cabins for two nights. Perfect for small family. Right near water and dock. Pool and jacuzzi. Water in cabin was brown - so showering was strange. Bring bottled water/water storage. Boat, canoe rentals. Bar on site is nice - food needs a little more to it. Will be back.
ScoutWhen I called& explained that I accidentally put 3 adults instead of 2 adults for our reservation, Was told there's no refunds, but they could put a credit for$66 for later date. Mind you, it was not like we were canceling, we were coming for 3 nights& already paying$650 for a spot& cabin. Pulled into resort at 8pm. Had to go to the bar to check in. There were 2 bartenders who were very busy. I totally understand that, but wasn't even greeted or told to hang on for a good 10 minutes. Got checked in& given map with location of our spot circled. Follow map back to spot& there's somebody in it. The signage was horrible, so it was difficult to find the spot to begin with. Call office& no answer. Called bar& they said that the wrong spot was circled on map& told us what section to go to. Again, signage was horrible so had to get out of RV& walk around to find spot. Rest of family came in about an hour later& we already got their key for the cabin for them. We were all shocked to see that the cabin was not stocked with linens. This would not have been issue if we were told ahead of time, but even after looking back at our confirmation emails& website,& even speaking with them on phone ahead of time, this was mentioned nowhere. Since it is winter, we were looking forward to hot tub which looked beautiful on the pics on website, but when we got out there it was dirty& broken. Other people at campground said it's been that way for awhile. The pool was also supposed to be heated,& it may have been heated to 65° at best. Website also shows alot of activity going on like watersports& bands playing. It was President's Day weekend& there was none of this going on. All that being said, we still would have rated the place well if it wasn't for the a horrible experience we had at the restaurant/bar. We sat down at the two tables that they had there& we're not approached by anyone for a good 10 minutes. Went up to the bar to ask for menus& was handed 1 menu. Ask for more& they gave them to me& informed me that there was a shift change& it might be a minute. Went back to the table& the waitress came over& told us that she would be right with us. The waitress also explained that they were short staffed& had a new cook. We told her we understood& put in our order. We had 5 kids with us& ordered 3 kids meals& regular food for the rest of the table. We got our food& there was a burger missing along with a side of fries that never got delivered. We kept on asking about the burger& she kept on apologizing& going& checking. Finally she brought a burger over& said I'm not sure if this one is yours but you're getting it. The burger was not ours since my son-in-law ordered a bacon cheeseburger& this was a plain burger. Then she came with his Burger& it was overcooked. Mind you, this is a good 30 minutes after we had all finished our food. Another guy approached the table& asked if we need anything& we asked for four more sodas. He never came back with them. When we asked the waitress for them again, she brought them. She was doing a great job& we understood it was not her fault. We weren't in a hurry. The kids were playing some games they had& we were just chilling so it really wasn't a big deal yet. The big deal happened when we got our bill& kids meals were on there as regular meals. We figured it was just an oversight, so we told waitress& she sent over a guy who didn't introduce himself, but since reading the rest of the reviews assuming this was the owner Nick. Right away, he took an aggressive tone& said they brought over three-piece chicken meals and the kids ate them so we should pay for what we ate. We explained that we din't know that the kids had three chicken pieces& that that is not what we ordered. He said so basically you're saying you don't want to pay your bill& said our waitress said we were rude. This guy was aggressive, rude, and unprofessional. He ended up changing the bill, but then when I check our bank account they charge just twice once the original amount and then the amount that he changed it to. Needless to say we will be disputing this. Will not be back to use our$66 credit.

Like the opening for 'Waterboy' (starring Adam Sandler), when you first rock up to Twin Lakes Fish Camp, somehow you feel as though you are visiting family in the very deep south with the likes of Bobby Bocher (pronounced BOO-Shay) greeting you upon arrival with a dilapidated golf cart eager to show you around this fairly minuscule one lane, dead-end campground that is more swamp outpost than pine forested campground. While definitely geared more towards the slightly semi-permanent resident than the overnight camping crowd, you’ll find a mixture of heavily seasoned RV trailers that don’t look as though they’ve moved anywhere in the past several years(or decades) along with a small handful of cabin rentals. Sure, there are a few spots here and there that you might park a 5th wheeler, RV or even see a pitched tent, but those spots are far and few between, if available at all.
As you make your way down this single lane refuge, on the right, you’ll notice fairly tightly packed together RVs or 5th wheelers lining the tree-ensconced periphery, where on the left you’ll spot sites that have a bit more space to them and with less crowded confines. Also on the left, you’ll easily notice a decent inlet that is perfect should you be towing any form of small watercraft with you, be that a kayak, canoe or even small engine boat. As you make your way down this single lane, pass the river inlet boat parking structure on your left, you’ll spot the 4-5 cabins that are for rent before making your way to the very end of the lane, which you’ll discover the manager’s office on the right. It’s here where you’ll check in. Just beyond this spot is where the waterline begins, albeit for the first 20 or 30 yards, completely encased by Spanish moss of every variety hanging from ancient Oaks, Palmettos and the odd Pine. For dramatic effect, there’s even a partially sunken house boat (or two) in the rather shallow waters just off this small inlet, where you can easily walk on and cast a line or two from.
With regards to amenities, apart from the swamp-like, down-home feel to this place, you’ll encounter fully-furnished cabins equipped with Direct TV, a small general store (that was closed when we visited), a tackle shop, WiFi (albeit incredibly weak), a recreation room (that didn’t have much but incredibly well-worn paperback books and a single fold-up table accompanied by the prerequisite ashtray), TV, scattered fire pits, covered picnic pavilion, small laundry room (that was closed while we were there), horseshoe pit, restrooms (that were anything but clean), full hook-ups with 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage as well as a designated dump station and a fish cleaning station alongside that fishing boat parking structure.
If you can get past the overall dilapidated condition of this place that transports you to a swamp-like wonderland, the upside is that Twin Lakes Fish Camp places you smack dab right in the heart of some pretty amazing fishing country. With Twin Lakes situated between Lochloosa and Orange Lakes, it’s the mouth of the famous Cross Creek that will return you right back here to Twin Lakes Fish Camp. Nearby, there’s the very quaint town of Micanopy, where you can load up on sundries and groceries as well as, if need be, travel further afield to either Gainesville to the north or Ocala to the south for many more dining and entertainment options.
Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) Rather than stay here, what I would HIGHLY recommend, whether you have an RV or are looking to pitch your tent, is to instead, seek another location for your camping adventures. If it were me, I would double-back to Paynes Prairie SP and book a spot there and simply come here to Twin Lakes Fish Camp to disembark on a fishing odyssey. Remember, it’s always important to note and differentiate a place that might be nice to visit versus a site that you want to call home for the night!; (2) Should you want to rent a 'jon boat', kayak, canoe or sumptknocker, you can easily do that here for $35/ day (and something tells me, you could probably talk the owner down a bit); (3) This place is fairly economical at $35 per night / $175 per week / $375 per month, but I would definitely recommend you look at the photos I’ve posted as well as do a bit of research on-line before booking anything here; (4) When you grow weary of cooking up ‘franks& beans’ for your next meal, and want to check out some local fare, just down the road is a very nice, quaint and actually somewhat upscale joint called The Yearling that serves up low-country delights like fried green tomatoes, fried gator bites and conch fritters in addition to main entrees like blackened red fish or shrimp & grits; and (5) While you won’t find any decent hiking in or around Twin Lakes Fish Camp, if you double-back to Paynes Prairie SP, you’ll find a ton of really great paths to both hike & bike.
Happy Camping!

So let’s start with the sites. Intermingled rv, cabin, and primitive sites close enough to see the water. We RV camped while my mom and aunt set up tent in P3 ON the water. It was the best view and we sat out there both nights at their fire ring. There are lots of things to do if you want to hang with other campers like Chicken Poo Bingo? (We passed on that one lol) We did use the pool though and that area was so great. Corn hole, picnic tables with a huge fan, horseshoes, and more with two great pools and a jacuzzi open until 10pm. The store and staff were great and the bathrooms/showers clean and well kept! With close proximity to several springs, we’ll definitely return.
Guide
Great little park with walk-in tent camping, all sites have power and water which is an awesome bonus! Beautiful spring for swimming featuring a limestone bridge way you can snorkel under. If you're into diving they also have an underwater cave, just make sure to check in with the ranger station 2 miles north before diving. 5 two bedroom cabins are also on site for rental. Super clean bathrooms and an outdoor rinsing station/ shower (no indoor hot showers available unless you book a cabin). Rangers & volunteer staff are awesome! If your main purpose for visiting is to swim in the spring make sure to call ahead or go online and check water conditions as this spring is attached to the Suwanee river and can sometimes be "browned out" due to river levels.

This is a campground I have been to many times in the winter. It has water and electric hookups as well as a central playground and bathrooms. It is a short hike to the Santa Fe River and many trails that are not too strenuous. There are many historic buildings here to check out. Also, cabins if you don't have a camper. I would recommend this campground to any one who needs to get away quickly for some peace and quiet.
RangerWe had a good weekend getaway. The normal campsite was Taken for the weekend. We made the best of it though. This place has nice tent sites, RV spots, cabins, rooms and houses. There's pools, spa, and a spring on site, plus you are on the river. You can rent canoes or kayaks and paddle the river. There are many springs along the way. If want to stay at the resort there is plenty of things you can do as well.

Located in the town of Trenton, Florida is this gem of a spot loved by the locals and tourists alike. They offer Lodge Rentals, RV Sites, Tent Camping & Cabins, Heated Pool & Great access to Otter Springs and the Suwannee River. There is a day use area, canoe & kayak rentals, basketball and volleyball court, and canoe rentals available. You can fish in the spring run or on the Suwannee River. We chose to camp in site with water and electric so we were in an RV spot but they have a designated tent camping area with water access and no electric.
We enjoyed exploring the over 600 acres, river, springs, nature trails and loved getting ice cream in the store after! The camp store has just about all you might run out of. Be prepared with insect repellent at dawn and dusk. Sites are spacious enough - not too close together but not much privacy either. If you do not like noise choose a sight away from the pool! RV sites have Full hookup: Electric (30& 50 amp.), water, and sewer. Good Sams memberships are accepted.
This is a great place to host a local event and they are VERY Veteran Friendly offering 15% off on daily and weekly camping. There is Wifi is available in the Pool Pavilion.
Though this place is not brand new and shows some age, it has a wonderful, welcoming feeling. We really enjoyed our stay!
ScoutNice campground on the Sante Fe river. Not many trees for shade and the sites are a little close but not bad. They have full hookups and a nice bathhouse and laundry room. There is a nice pool and jacuzzi which is nice alternative to swimming in the river. The staff is generally nice and helpful but they have the same problem with finding employees as everyone else. They have a pontoon boat and jet ski rentals also. There is a restaurant and bar which serves decent food but again could use more help. They have Thursday night Prime Rib which brings in the locals as it is a good deal. The bar has karaoke and live music sometimes, with a couple of pool tables. It’s a bit pricey but would be worth it with another star.
Traveler
Easy access to I 75 Has nice pond with wildlife , cabins to rent and all services . Friendly staff and dog park.
GuideI can’t say too much about this campground because I didn’t stay here. We say the sign and wanted to check it out so we just talked to the nice people in the office and they told us to take our time. The campground looked like nice decent size sites. They have 5 cabins available. A cute playground, volleyball area and a covered, screened in pool. The spring wasn’t anything amazing but definitely a way to cool off here in the Florida heat. I will definitely be staying here in the future.

This private RV and tent campground has a gorgeous hot spring on site which flows into the Suwannee River. Recreation includes swimming, canoeing, hiking, biking and birding. Full hook ups, BBQ grills, showered and laundry available. There are also 3 cabins and an historic stilt house available for overnight stays.
TravelerThis place is great whether you are a tent camper, trailer camper or have an RV. They even have A motel and cabins to rent. If you like activities there are plenty. Anything from kayaking and bike riding to pigeon races and fishing. A lot of the tent sites are along the Suwannee River. Great views! My only complaint is it can use some updating. But they are trying!
ScoutThis is a really family friendly campground. We try and go 4-5 times a year and each time NEVER disappoints. It not only sits on Convict Springs, but on the Suwanee River as well. In addition to having chicken poop bingo and pigeon races (yes, those are real things! LOL) They also have regular bingo, karaoke and live music. There are RV spots, tent camping, hotel rooms, motel rooms, cabins and houses.
LegendFHU, gravel site. The sites Very close together and guests pull in all around your site and park their boats, cars, trucks, golf carts. Luckily, we only stayed a weekend. Lots of full time residents. The dog park is big, Pool house, jacuzzi and pool are large and clean. There were activities planned for the kids which was fun! There are tennis courts, which we didn’t use. The playground has many different play areas and was tidy. There are lots of area attractions and a beach with a designated swimming area at the end of the road. If we had come off season, it would have been great. The swing and pond, behind our RV, was a nice touch for our puppy and granddaughter.
GuideSuch a nice campground! The indoor pool is so amazing except for the overwhelming chlorine smell and vapors. We stayed in one of the cabins and felt right at home. It was a really nice change from sleeping in a tent. It was fun hiking the trails and paddling out to the Suwannee River. The springs were flooded at the time so we weren't able to enjoy a swim but the paddle out to the river made up for it. I'd definitely stay here again.
Guide
So the layout is basically one small dirt road loop with rv parking/primitive camping around the center as well as cabins around the outside. It was quiet when we were there but if the spots around us were rented, it’s very close quarters with no natural barriers. The staff was SO friendly and the general store at the front had everything this rookie forgot. 😂 You can rent tubes there but you will need transportation to the springs and river run, which were both AMAZING. We just drove the RV to each. We would totally return to this park simply because of the proximity to the springs.
LegendI didn’t actually stay overnight here, but biked over from the nearby Hart Springs campground. Nice facility with fully shaded spots among Florida forest. There were a number of unmarked buildings, but upon researching it looks like a covered pool and clubhouse. The spring swimming area was lovely and clear and no crowds. Seems like a nice place to stay for a fun, activity filled getaway.
