History

This campground as a lot to offer. First off, it is on the well known Florida river, the Suwanee River, so there are many water sports that can be done here. There is an accessible boat ramp, but unfortunately it is low at this part of the river (May 2018), so its best for canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding. I was able to take me dog down there for a quick swim which she loved! Pets are allowed as long as they are on a leash and do not enter the cabin areas. The tent/RV areas are very large and also pretty private which is nice. The facilities were very clean and large and the staff is wonderful!

What makes this site different than a lot of places I have been is that there is a craft village. They are usually open daily for different activities. The gift shop is very large with a lot of crafts that have been made in the village. Make sure to ask about Edgar the Alligator. He is hidden around the park and if you find him, you get a free ice cream. This is such a fun idea for kids (or if your like me, adults too!). There is also a very old bell tower and muesem on site which offers a lot of history about Stephen Foster and his influence on folk songs.
