Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location.

GuideA “real Florida” campground originally built by the CCC. Sites are decent size with typical Florida flora between the sites for some privacy. 30 amp/water hookups on site. Roads are hard pack sand/gravel and not real smooth. A nice family campground for smaller size rigs. A playground accessible to most sites and classic bathhouse with showers is conveniently located. Lots of hiking trails. There’s an orange tree on my site!
GuideI liked this park it is large, lots to explore. We took our dog on her first camping trip and she was fantastic. I would like to go back without her though because I think I could hike better without her. There are a number of trails, but it rained for some of our stay so we getting get away from our camp too much. It was still lovely. I think a trip back is in order because we definitely didn’t experience all we would like to have experienced. We had our kayaks but since we had the dog we didn’t go. But I can see us returning for more adventures. We did walk over the suspension bridge, that was beautiful, a nice after the rain thing to do.
TravelerOak tree is more of a trailer park home opposed to being a campsite but there are people who live in tents on the property
ScoutThe facilities were very clean but no room in between campers and most look like seasonal. No trees or bushes for shade or privacy. Kids all over in golf carts and scooters. Would not come back again.
TravelerOverall, an excellent campground found that all amenities are here. Electrical water power added extras are a very nice swimming pool and spa and it is on the on the Swanee river
ScoutThe phone number listed directs you to a campsite just up the road, which actually shares the same name as this listing. However, most of the photos shown (up to around photo 22) are of a different campground than where you’ll end up if you book here.
If you follow the booking details, you’ll be taken to a more open RV-style site with many long-term renters, and it does not match the photos provided. The area itself is still nice, and there’s a convenience store nearby with basic supplies.
If you’re specifically looking for the campground shown in the photos, make sure to search for Ichetucknee Springs Campground on Google to find the correct location.
ScoutCrystal Isle has been a dream in regards to starting our RV journey. The staff is wonderful. The sites are clean and I feel spacious (again just starting out but we have space). We don't have to worry about our overflow as they have overflow parking. The have a boat ramp for the park residents only. And it is an easy boat ride to the Golf. Shopping, food, and river access are close by. You have Three Sisters Springs and Hunter Springs Beach within 15 minute. Hunter Springs is a great place to bring the kids. It is a small beach on the river so the littles don't get smacked with waves. We stayed the whole month of January and February.
RangerAfter exploring the museum, enjoying the nature trails, enjoy some fishing, or bird watching along the river. See where the river sinks( ends) and look for the turtles in the water. The campsites are shaded, level and qell kept. Bathrooms are clean, handicapped accessable, and conviently located. Pets welcome, families welcome. Big rigs may find the campground roads tight, but there are multiple sites available for big rigs. Be aware there are trees along the roads, so be aware of any lower branches.
RangerNice quiet campsite with decent level spaces Ok cell service Verizon and att Lots of deer and armadillos

Most cabin rentals are located within a 30-minute drive radius of downtown Chiefland, with peak rental seasons running from March through September.
