    Ichetucknee Family Canoe and Cabins

    Great fun for the family.

    Best campsite I've been to so far! With the state park close by, you can go tubing, kayaking or just for a swim. The office has pool tables and games for kids to enjoy. The staff are incredibly friendly. There's also a lot of friendly animals that live on the property, such as goats, a donkey, chickens, dogs and cats. It's a wonderful family friendly experience for all. Bring your friendly pets too! Very pet friendly.

    Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground

    Quiet, close to okefenokee wildlife refuge

    Located right across George Highway 23 from the entrance to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, this is easy access to the facilities at the refuge. Most sites are full hook up, several are pull through. There is a laundry, showers, a dog park, camp store and restaurant. This is a Good Sam park !

    Suwannee River Rendezvous Resort

    Great river & springs access

    First time here. Love it, will be back for sure. Great river/springs access. Great for kayaking/tubing or boating. Great dog areas. Food is good on the weekends, live music, very poor wifi. Spots by the dog park don’t have shade but most of the other sites do. Lots of fun activities. Great bike path just off property. Friendly staff. Site 212 was 50 amp only so I had to use a converter. Can rent kayaks on site if you don’t own one.

    Good Overnight Spot

    Overnighted here on the way to FL Keys.  Pulled in way after hours.  Campground was easy to navigate.  Site was a pull through and very narrow but it worked for one night.

    Bonus was a large dog park right across the street.

    Starke-Gainesville NE KOA

    Big sites

    Would have given 5 stars if internet was decent but it was awful. Our rig is 42’ w/ 4 slides and had lots of space. Escorted to our site. Nice picnic tables. Pool area was clean and inviting. Big playground. Dog park was up in front by office so long walk when hot. Laundry was reasonable $1.25. Office staff were friendly. Starke is very small and not much to do. Sonny’s BBQ is good!! Gainesville is an hour away.

    Pecan Park RV Resort

    Nice park, friendly staff and close to beaches

    I would have given 5 stars but a couple of issues hindered that decision. For the $$$ per night we were not able to use the cable TV as it was being worked on while we were there as well as the wifi was down. No compensation was offered. We had to request a picnic table and no fire pit or ring available on the site. Pad was large enough, just, for our 42ft rig and truck. Water pressure was adequate at 50 psi. Park is large clean and well maintained, great dog park, pool, very close to I95. One exit down has a ton of shopping and places to eat. Airport very close so be ready to hear plains landing everyday. Local flee market next door. Beaches are a 30min drive but worth the ride. Overall it was a little pricey for this particular park.
