Several cabin options dot the area around Trenton, Florida, with properties like Otter Springs Park & Campground and Ellie Ray's RV Resort offering cabin accommodations with varying amenities. Cabins at Otter Springs feature full hookups with access to electricity, running water, and nearby shower facilities. Most units include basic furniture and sleeping areas suitable for families or small groups. Ichetucknee Family Canoe and Cabins provides similar setups with additional amenities like picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor cooking and gathering. "Such 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," noted one visitor about their experience at Otter Springs.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Hart Springs Park offers more basic accommodations while Otter Springs Resort provides more comfortable options with amenities like nearby heated pools and spring access. Most cabins require reservations, particularly during summer months when swimming in the natural springs becomes popular. Pets are generally allowed at cabin sites, though policies vary by location. A review from The Dyrt mentioned, "We ended up here after our first stop in Georgia's heated pool broke. Heated pool here is great! Old facilities and shower houses but at $25 a night with military discount couldn't beat it." Many properties offer military discounts and weekly rates for longer stays.
Most cabins provide basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties - some offer only outdoor fire rings while others include basic indoor cooking amenities. On-site camp stores at locations like Yellow Jacket RV Resort and Otter Springs stock essential items, though selection is limited. Market access requires driving to nearby towns, as one camper noted, "Located in the middle of nowhere - Dollar General is four miles away and Walmart is 11 miles." Visitors planning extended stays should arrive prepared with groceries and supplies, especially if staying at more remote properties like Bowman's Landing where amenities are more limited.

Very nice KoA for a night or a season
Friendly staff. Clean campground. Some pull-thrus. Not gated. We have stayed here multiple times in our 40' motorhome with slides on both sides plus our Jeep. No problems. Recommended

Wrong listing! But still okay.
The 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.

RangerDogwood Campground — O'Leno State Park
Beautiful historic park
After 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.

Magnolia Campground — O'Leno State Park
Tight spots rough, sand roads,
Men’s handicap shower and toilet are both broke. No handicap benches to sit on in showers. Sand roads are narrow and bumpy. Backing in a 35’ trailer was almost impossible. No sewer hookups.

LegendArrowhead Campsites & Mobile Home Park
Budget-Friendly Stay Just Off I-75 in the Horse Capital of the World
Sitting quietly just off I-75, Arrowhead Campsites & Mobile Home Park in Ocala, Florida is located on one of the busiest thoroughfares that runs through Ocala. This place is a no frills, straightforward, budget-friendly campground where grass pads, shady trees and neighborly vibes create a cozy Old-Florida atmosphere. First impressions? This isn’t a resort, but while there is a community pool (that wasn’t working when we stopped by and TBH was incredibly cringe-worthy), it’s a practical, easygoing basecamp that gives you everything you need while keeping you close to Ocala’s natural gems ... as long as you manage your expectations before arriving here.
Facilities are simple but sufficient (unless they aren't working at all). There are around 100 sites with full hookups (30 / 50 amp electric, water, sewer), most on grass with decent leveling. Guests have access to free Wi-Fi, cable TV, mediocre bathrooms and subpar showers, a laundry facility, picnic tables and a recreation room. Long-term residents mix with short-stay campers, so expect a lived-in, welcoming feel. The campground also features a dining hall and small community events, adding a sense of 'cringy neighborhood' to your stay.
Ocala itself is the star attraction nearby. Known as the ‘Horse Capital of the World,’ you’re just minutes away from equestrian centers, rolling farms and the glass-clear waters of Silver Springs State Park. The Ocala National Forest offers endless hiking, kayaking and wildlife watching, while downtown Ocala brings restaurants, art galleries and Southern charm.
Insider Tips? Here’s a smathering: (1) IMHO the best sites are the ones with grass pads near the front loops for the easiest pull-in and better spacing, especially if you’re arriving late, which is convenient as well for those that want to make an early, discreet and trouble-free exit in the morning; (2) Should you need to stock up on anything, there’s a Walmart Supercenter, Publix, Home Depot and Lowe’s all within a 10-minute drive; (3) A nearby hidden ‘easter egg’ you’ll want to explore are the lesser-visited trails at Silver Springs State Park where you’ll find quiet boardwalks and an historic pioneer village that many tourists (and even local residents) miss; (4) If you’ve come with your kayak, a great place to launch is at Silver Springs State Park where you can paddle down the Silver River. Expect to see turtles, manatees and wild rhesus (not Reese's, but sounds the same) monkeys that somehow call the riverbank home; (5) Because there are long-term residents here at Arrowhead, it’s best to request a short-term site closer to the entrance for less foot traffic and quieter evenings; and (6) When you get tired of conjuring up that next meal from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler, then check on some local joints like Big Lee’s Serious About BBQ for its nationally acclaimed BBQ brisket, ribs, and sides or Ivy on the Square with its upscale comfort food in a historic downtown building and there’s also Latinos y Mas serving up fusion Latin classics with Mediterranean touches.
Happy Camping!

This was our favorite campground to spend the winter months until new owner and managers took over in 2023. Jon has anger issues and no respectful communication skills. If he doesn’t like you, he trumps up an excuse to evict you. We have seen this many times. It’s like walking on egg shells all winter. Jon and Vickie are not consistent on their new rules, which change all the time. And, they don’t follow through with new improvements. They advertise a heated pool. However, it was inoperable one whole winter season with them saying,“it will be fixed in a few days”. The following winter season it worked but was not warm when it was getting nice to swim. The workers have no respect for campers and their personal property when they are mowing or blowing leaves. Snowbirds can no longer secure a reservation on their preferred site for the following season upon departure. Now we are put on a waiting list until November with the hopes we’ll get a phone call saying our preferred site is available. November is too late in the season to try to secure a site at another campground in the event a space isn’t available. How is this a respectable way to treat loyal, recurring snowbirds?!?! This new policy has caused them to lose multiple recurring guests. Sadly, a former beautifully maintained and friendly campground in a nice town is going downhill fast. Too bad there isn’t an option for negative star ratings.
Guide to Trenton
Cabin camping near Trenton, Florida offers rustic accommodations within a landscape dominated by natural springs and the winding Suwannee River system. This North Central Florida region sits at just 45-55 feet above sea level, creating ideal conditions for the numerous springs that maintain a consistent 72-degree temperature year-round. Most cabin rentals require advance booking during March through September when water activities are most popular.
What to do
Spring swimming and activities: At Hart Springs Park, visitors can enjoy the natural spring swimming area alongside boardwalks along the river. "The springs here are gorgeous and the swimming area is large. We came in the winter and it was a bit cold to swim, but there are plenty of boardwalks around the rec side of the park to tour the sights," notes Jessica C. about Hart Springs Park.
River exploration: Canoe or kayak rentals are available for exploring the Suwannee River from various locations. "There is a boat slip and boat rentals available on-site. There is also a pool and hot tub," explains Josh W. from Yellow Jacket RV Resort, where direct river access makes water activities convenient.
Cultural exploration: O'Leno State Park features historical CCC-built structures and unique geological features. "The park had nice hiking trails, but I enjoyed the kayaking most of all. The river goes underground but you can't kayak in this area. The river has a small rapids area, for Florida," writes Sean B. from their visit to the park.
What campers like
Indoor pool access: Several cabin properties feature indoor heated pools that provide swimming options regardless of weather. "The indoor pool was awesome and the springs were too. I would recommend this place and will be going again!" shares Shaun G. about their stay at Otter Springs Park & Campground.
Riverside locations: Cabins positioned along the Suwannee and Santa Fe Rivers are particularly valued by guests. "Directly on the Suwannee River. The sites are nice and the people are great. Stayed here many years ago and just spent a week on a riverfront site in Feb 2020," notes Linda C. about their experience.
Multiple accommodation options: Visitors appreciate the range of cabin styles available. "We stayed in the cabins for two nights. Perfect for small family. Right near water and dock. Pool and jacuzzi," reports Jenn B. about their experience at Ellie Ray's RV Resort, highlighting the family-friendly cabin arrangements.
What you should know
Seasonal flooding: River levels can affect spring access and activities. "Due to rain & flooding of the Suwannee River over the ten weeks we were there, we were unable to access the spring or experience kayaking or the few amenities of the park. Very disappointing," notes Julia H. about their extended stay experience.
Limited shopping access: The remote location means planning ahead for supplies. "Located in the middle of nowhere - Dollar General is four miles away and Walmart is 11 miles (doesn't seem far but on all back roads, it takes a while)," adds Julia H. about the shopping challenges.
Reservation considerations: Cabins at Ichetucknee Family Canoe and Cabins and other properties should be booked well in advance during peak spring and summer seasons. "The sites are good and great location but the bath house is in need of upgrades," comments David R., highlighting the importance of understanding facility conditions before booking.
Tips for camping with families
Animal encounters: Some properties feature farm animals that children enjoy. "There are so many adorable animals roaming around, my favorite was Daisy the pig (who acts more like a dog)," shares Kacie W. about Ichetucknee Springs Campground, where animals are part of the camping experience.
Recreation options: Look for cabin properties with family-friendly amenities. "There is a picnic area, a pavilion, a lodge, a museum, several other structures and a swimming area," notes Shelly S. about the facilities available at one park, providing options for all ages.
Swimming safety: Springs and rivers require adult supervision for children. "There is a swimming section. The river goes underground but you can't kayak in this area," explains Sean B., highlighting important safety information for families planning water activities.
Tips from RVers
Site positioning: For those with cabins near RV areas, understand the layout before booking. "RV sites have Full hookup: Electric (30& 50 amp.), water, and sewer. Good Sams memberships are accepted," explains Jeanene A. about the Magnolia Campground, which offers discounts worth investigating.
Site privacy considerations: Cabin spacing varies significantly between properties. "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," warns Josh W. about navigation challenges at one resort.
Seasonal planning: Peak and off-season timing affects cabin availability and pricing. "We ended up at Otter Springs after our first stop in Georgia's heated pool broke. Heated pool here is great! Old facilities and shower houses but at $25 a night with military discount couldn't beat it," shares one visitor about the value found during their visit.
