The Best Camping Near Fanning Springs, Florida

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.

Hidden gem with hot springs!

Arrived here for a four-night tent stay at spot 110 after The Suwanee Music Park, in mid October 2020. Took several country roads to get here and was happy to put gas at that last gas station. The staff is very affable, and the sights along the Suwanee River are breathtaking. The restrooms are adequate. The fire pits don't have a grill: they are old truck tire rims. Lots of squirrels, and they say that raccoons are around, though none have been spotted. The camp store has wood for $6. The TMobile signal is zero. Verizon is good. Sprint is ok, but not good enough for a personal hotspot. The camp WiFi is erratic. There's a nearby boat ramp: photos of the river from it included. Don't stay at #110 next to the men's room. The slamming of the restroom's door will drive you nuts if you're trying to sleep.

Isolated and quiet, except when college kids party on a Saturday

When you arrive there is a check in at the office. We were tent camping and got us an unmarked spot next to the main spring. There’s a review here that there’s a hot spring which there isn’t. There are two springs here that one flows into the other so that distance between them may be 50 yards creates a shallow stream area that parents and there toddlers can sit down in the water which by the way is a cool 72 degrees year round which is wonderful during the hot summer months. 
They have hot showers heated indoor pool blue grass concerts lots of activities including volleyball.
There are lots of trails with lots of wildlife. You can rent a canoe and take the spring run to the Suwannee River. The run is about 2 ft deep unless the Suwannee River floods in that case you can’t canoe it. 
The swamp there is absolutely beautiful with lots of large oaks and cypress. There is another spring there that’s called Little Otter that’s close to the river and accessible by foot. You need to ask at the desk how to get there.
Otter springs is owned by the county and leased to a person that is making the springs a place for veterans to live.


Beautiful springs

This has been one of my favorite campsites. The campground is nice: level ground, lots of trees, CLEAN bathrooms and showers, and walking distance to a great swimming area that’s clean and unpolluted. Didn’t see any otters but still 10/10

One of the best campsites I’ve been to!

Site# 54
Check in: 1pm
Check out: 11am
Full hook- up
Easy to level
Gravel back-in 
(Most, if not all sites are Buddy sites - so be prepared to face a neighbor you do not know.   -We were literally looking at each other for ten weeks - with us having two dogs and neighbors having three dogs-complete bark fest).  We were so close our awnings would not go out all the way or we would touch.  

Lot is Shaded with lots of trees. Not a big lot since you have to share space with your neighbor 
- No concrete patio - no picnic table but had a fire ring

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)
Closest highway (75) is 45 miles away &amp; I-90 is an hour

Zero WiFi or Zero cell service (1 tiny bar but not enough to do a basic internet search) - once we purchased Starlink ($599), we were able to stream. 
No Cable TV- limited channels
No Outdoor kitchen
No Outdoor community sinks to clean big pots

They do not pickup garbage at site daily, Must walk to garbage dumpster - not too far

Allowed to ride personal golf carts
Not Able to rent golf carts or pedal bikes from them
Golf cart not really needed- smaller campground
Indoor heated Swimming pool 
Natural Spring within park but due to rain &amp; 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.  
Had a Playground
No Bocce ball, shuffleboard, There was basketball court and volleyball court.  

Good general store with basics 
No Activity Center for kids
Unsure if there are activities for kids  (there were not from January-March). 
There is not a snack bar/restaurant . 
Not a Game room, putt putt, or jumping pad for kids
No Workout room

Streets are gravel/sand -not great for riding bikes in campground 
Great places to ride bikes outside of campground (not near this campground)  though- look for Nature Coast State Trail


Lots of cabin and tent space
Individual bathrooms with own sink, shower, toilet &amp; clean


Laundry machines (one washer &amp; one dryer) per bathhouse- only two bath houses 

Dog area - not fenced in - they have a huge field behind the campground that they keep the outside mowed &amp; is a great place to walk dogs 


There were not bugs/flies initially but as it has started warming up, it has slowly gotten worse

There were trails to hike off of the campground.

The most disappointing aspect is that they were selling presidential hats in the general store.  One - politics and recreation don’t go together and two- if you’re going to sell one candidate but not the other, you’re a biased business
