• Located in the heart of Dunnellon near the Rainbow River

Site: 25ft long by 14ft Wide. Water, Sewer, 30amp Electric. Not on the water but walking distance. This property is shared with the owner. Camp site is separated from owner's house with a pole barn.

Please read to the end, including my cancellation policy.

This is not a waterfront site. You are not camping on the water, however, Rainbow River Peek is named because you can get a peek of the river from the site. You can bike to the river in about two minutes. This is a small, narrow (14ft wide) but quiet area, a few hundred feet from The Rainbow River. Located on a dead-end street, this camp site is a work in progress, yet livable. It is partially surrounded by Florida foliage next to a pole barn. There is a 50amp plug but you can use a 30amp adapter that I can provide. If you have slideouts, your living space will be limited but there is a picnic area that everyone uses, as well. The sewer is about 50ft from the site and you can dump on your way in or out.

**About the Site: **It is only 25 feet long and about 14ft wide. The back of the camp site has an area with a small table, umbrella and grill.

The Rainbow River is a gorgeous river that is walking distance from the site. There is a beach, free boat launch, free kayak launch, tiki bars with live entertainment, antique shops, restaurants and a Publix all within biking and walking distance.

**Kayak Excursions: ** Offered locally by many vendors. A 1.5 hour kayak paddle, with the current, back to the kayak launch near the RV site. However, you are encouraged to take as long as you want on the river before dark. You can also stop at the waterfront restaurant, Swampy's.

Firewood: Easy to purchase nearby at Publix, Ace Hardware or Tractor Supply. Literally a 2-3 minute drive.

You'll love how close the river beach, tiki bars, grocery stores and antique shops are!! All within biking distance.

My recent two night stay at Rainbow River Peek couldn't have been more relaxing! It is such a peaceful, quiet setting and the host is most accommodating. The location is ideal for access to recreational pursuits or for resupply needs. What an all-around positive experience I had!
