Thrown out with no warning and no refund
I organized a group camping weekend here October 2 to 4, 2026. My group booked and paid for more than a dozen campsites and approximately 40 people, all next to each other, so the people around my site were my own friends. On Saturday afternoon we were sitting in our chairs when a security officer walked up and demanded that I lower my music. Nobody refused. I was turning it down as I explained that the music was for my whole group and that the neighbors around us were all our people. I also asked who had complained. Instead of answering, he snapped,"You do what I said and turn the music down." I told him I already had. With no attempt to calm things down, he shouted that we were out of there and had 30 minutes to pack up and leave. Nobody in my group raised a voice or got hostile. We were polite and we complied, and we were still treated like criminals. When we went to the front desk to report how he had behaved, the clerk made it clear that our whole group was the issue and that they were watching us and that I had to leave. That told me this was never about one speaker or lowering the music. We were singled out while other groups were left alone. I even heard from others that were allowed to stay, that they heard Spanish music blasting at 1am AFTER QUIET HOURS! So, why were we kicked out? Discrimination! No refund was offered. They kept our money for a stay they cut short. We have held several events here over the years, about 8 visits in the last three years. There will be ZERO in the future. The springs are beautiful, but the way security and the front desk treat paying guests is not. My group is taking our events and our money somewhere else!

Wooded and quiet sites on grass
I’ve stayed here twice in my camper van while en route in and out of Florida. The campground WAS closed for repair prior to SUMMER 2026, but is now OPEN. There’s a boat launch, clean restrooms and electric hookups, for $22/night. Caretaker on site.

Nice spot for dispersed camping
This is a great place for dispersed camping, but it’s not as quiet as you might expect. Dogs bark all night, so it’s not the best place for those who are sensitive to noise. However, it’s a great place to experience nature, even though there are some houses nearby. Just be aware that it can get extremely hot in the summer, so if you’re planning to go, make sure you have an RV or trailer.

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!
BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!
This place appears to be a hidden gem until you encounter the“soulless” owners in charge and their entourage. It’s not just the performance they put on when you first arrive, but their behavior after you’ve paid.
King Vicky and Queen John are tyrannical figures. Initially, everything seems fine, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. They proudly display a Christian flag with the American flag on their flagpole, claiming to be Christians, yet their actions reveal otherwise. They are judgmental and create a hostile environment that makes it impossible for my children and me to enjoy our stay. They refused to mow the yard next to our RV as a protest for our presence. They even had the audacity to laugh at my husband and me(in front of our three children, aged five, four, and one) for our beliefs. Queen John openly admitted to his posse and King Vicky that they talk about us constantly and have some good laughs at our expense. Are they truly Christians? I doubt it.
Queen John disrespected me, called me names, and attempted to evict us while my children were in the room. Later that night, he knocked on our door and apologized for his actions. When I began to correct him on the events that transpired, which he was misrepresenting, and I rely on factual evidence rather than personal feelings, he told me he didn’t care and needed me to shut up so he could apologize. Was this a genuine apology? I don’t think so.
King Vicky went so far as to withdraw funds from my account without my approval. They even called the police on themselves when we demanded a refund for the theft of money. It’s clear that they dislike confrontation, and it’s evident that no one has ever stood up to them before. King Vicky’s voice trembled as she realized the illegality of her actions. They only issued a refund after the police arrived. To this day, we haven’t received an itemized receipt for the refund.
Be cautious around Queen John. He touched my children, and I immediately grabbed them and pulled them away. I refuse to let that negative energy affect my children. Interestingly, this energy transfer is even mentioned in the Bible. However, I don’t see Christians complaining about it. After that, King Vicky complained about having to talk to my kids and started asking them,“Did you have fun here?” I cut her off and firmly stated,“Do not speak to my kids. John owes my children an apology for his actions. You were not there to offer any sort of apology. Moreover, you complained about talking to them in the first place.”
The employees at this park are not properly trained. On our first night, Peach and her husband Jim greeted us. Peggy was also present. Peach was struggling to figure out the system for changing the site number and had to wait for Vicky in the morning. When Peach arrived in the morning, she claimed that Vicky had fixed it, but only for the two-month stay. She couldn’t understand how to charge for only one month. As a result, she instantly charged me for two months.
King Vicky and Queen John insist that they are good park owners, but I’ll leave that for you to decide. We don’t hold them in high regard based solely on their numerous ignorant behaviors towards our family. We’ve already had a difficult experience with them, and I’m writing this review to warn you all to exercise caution before staying here. We’ve been through it, so you don’t have to. My recommendation: CHOOSE A DIFFERENT RV PARK. There are many more options available nearby. Make a better choice than we did.

Beautiful
Great spot to camp, did see a baby bear and a few wood peckers. Quiet clean and beautiful. No marked camp sites no reservations and no fees.

Don’t waste your money
Extremely run down. Not even close to being a water park. Save your money and go to Splash in Milton or if just passing through stay at The Station across the highway for a better maintained and friendlier environment.
Guide to Jasper
Campgrounds near Jasper, Florida offer camping options on sandy terrain with patches of pine forest and hardwood hammocks, sitting 100-130 feet above sea level. Most campsites in the region experience a humid subtropical climate with average summer temperatures between 85-95°F, while winters stay mild with temperatures rarely dropping below freezing. Water levels on the Suwannee River fluctuate seasonally, affecting river camp access points and paddling conditions.
What to do
Kayaking the Suwannee River: Launch from Gibson Park for day trips or multi-day paddling adventures with camping at river camps. "We go kayaking down the Suwannee river and we normally use this as a base camp," notes one visitor about Suwannee River State Park Campground.
Hiking trail networks: Explore woodland paths with varying difficulty levels throughout the region's parks. "There is a nice trail that winds beside the river located over the bridge from this park," mentions a camper at Hamilton County Park Gibson Campground.
Christmas light displays: Visit Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park Campground during the holiday season for festive illuminations. "Christmas season here is a delight with all the holiday lights," shares a reviewer who found the seasonal decorations worth the trip.
Live music events: Attend weekend performances at multiple venues, particularly at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. "Live Music is a presence at the park which hosts weekend shows at the restaurant and bar, and the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park is host to several big music festivals of all genres," explains one music enthusiast.
Horseback riding: Bring your horses or use rental options at certain facilities. "There are backcountry tent sites to full hookups; or if you prefer you can rent a cabin or tree house. Horses and riding lessons are available at the stables," mentions a visitor describing the diverse activities available.
What campers like
Riverside camping spots: Sites with direct water access rank highest in reviews. At Woods Ferry River Camp, "There is a nice beach at lower water levels to pull up your vessel or you can tie boat up under ramp," explains a frequent visitor who appreciates the river access.
Screened sleeping platforms: Several river camps offer elevated, bug-free sleeping options with electricity. "The platforms are amazing. Power, fire ring, and running water. Hot showers also," reports a camper at Holton Creek River Camp.
Golf cart trails: Extensive networks of paths specifically designed for golf cart exploration. "Over 800 acres to explore on a golf cart or hiking," shares one camper at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, highlighting the extensive trail system.

What you should know
River water levels: Suwannee River water height significantly impacts camping experiences, especially at river camps. "On our recent visit River Level was at 52 making it easy to get out of kayak on a small sandy area under ramp," explains a river camper, showing how water levels affect accessibility.
Train noise: Some campgrounds experience nighttime train disturbances. "There is a train that comes roughly 2 times a night after midnight. Kids all slept through it so no problem there," shares a family camper at Suwannee River State Park.
Seasonal insect conditions: Bug activity increases during warmer months, especially near water. "Make sure you have some bug spray for evenings in summer months," advises a regular visitor to Holton Creek River Camp.
Weather preparedness: Afternoon thunderstorms occur regularly during summer months. One kayaker recounted, "As we were aware of the trouble we could have with the weather we were able to get a call out luckily (limited cell service here) and arranged for our outfitter to pick us up."
Fire restrictions: Rules about campfires vary between facilities, with some providing wood for purchase. "Camp hosts were wonderful and had ice as well as firewood available for donation," notes a reviewer describing the amenities at a river camp.
Tips for camping with families
Swimming areas: Several campgrounds feature designated swimming spots suitable for children. "Decent little swimming area to the side of the boat ramp," reports a family at Suwannee River State Park Campground, indicating accessible water recreation.
Playground facilities: Some parks maintain play equipment for younger visitors. "Great family park. Swimming pool, outdoor park n play yard," notes a grandmother at Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park.
Educational opportunities: Historical features provide learning experiences. "There are trails to explore and if you look closely you will find remains and signs of old turpentine harvesting in the area close to the camp in the forest," explains a camper describing the historical elements visible along hiking paths.
Weather planning: Schedule activities earlier in the day during summer months. "We took the 2 hour guided boat ride and got a feel for the swamp. My grandsons spent two nights on platforms, there are many, paddling through the Swamp and exploring," shares a grandparent who planned appropriate activities for teens.
Meal options: On-site dining at certain facilities provides alternatives to cooking. "There is a bar and restaurant on site with live music which was great," mentions a visitor at Long Branch Rest & Ride RV & Horse Park, noting the convenience of food service.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose locations based on specific needs for space, shade, and hook-ups. "The sites were clean and the campground was quiet. I did make a video of the individual sites so others could see what they look like for planning purposes," notes a helpful RVer at Stephen Foster State Park.
Utility access: Water and electrical connections vary significantly between parks. "Our site had full hookups water electric and sewer," reports one RVer, providing important information about the complete services available at their campsite.
Navigation challenges: Some areas have narrow access roads or limited turning space. "Easy pull-through site right off of 75," mentions a reviewer at Jennings KOA, highlighting the convenient access from the interstate.
Seasonal availability: Booking patterns change throughout the year, with winter months drawing snowbirds. "Huge sites just off I-75. Shade and highway noise depend on area. Great laundry and showers," explains a visitor familiar with the KOA facilities that attract seasonal travelers.
