Yellow Jacket RV Resort

4 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

With full hookups and year-round availability, Yellow Jacket RV Resort sits directly on the Suwannee River in Old Town, Florida. The privately owned campground accommodates RVs through multiple access options including drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in arrivals. Staff provides advance notice that hookups are positioned at the front of sites, requiring campers to bring additional 25 feet of hose and electrical cord.

Site navigation presents challenges for less experienced RVers. The layout makes maneuvering into spots difficult without using space from adjacent sites when occupied. Single-digit sites provide better river views than double-digit locations, though marsh vegetation separates most sites from direct water access. Rock and gravel surfacing keeps sites level and well-draining. The campground maintains good shade coverage throughout, which reviewers appreciate during Florida's summer months.

Linda C. notes the location is "Directly on the Suwannee River" with accommodating staff. The facility includes a swimming pool, hot tub, boat slips, and rental boats for river access. WiFi works reliably within the campground boundaries, though cellular service varies. Staff spreads out reservations to reduce crowding when possible.

For a different experience, Manatee Springs State Park Campground offers state park camping with spring-fed swimming areas just northeast of the resort.

A small, well-maintained riverfront campground where visitors often highlighted the helpful staff and nice facilities. Some feedback indicated challenging site layouts requiring maneuvering skills, though the level gravel sites and river access were appreciated.

Interesting place

The office staff is very helpful and nice.

The location itself is pretty remote and not close to many amenities. 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 to use their space. I struggled even with the adjacent sites being empty. The sites are close together, but the staff does a good job spreading out their reservations. We booked a riverview site, but there is a good amount of marsh between our site and the river, so the view is not that impressive. The single digit sites have a better river view than double digits. The site is pretty level, and I do like that it is rock/gravel and not dirt. The hookups are at the front of the site, which requires you to have an additional 25 feet of hose and power. The staff does warn you prior to arrival of this, so we were well prepared. Wifi is good within the campground, but I couldn't get the cable to work. There is a boat slip and boat rentals available on-site. There is also a pool and hot tub ( the hot tub was not functional during our visit). Good amount of shade within the entire campground, which is nice in the summer months. Depending on what you are looking for, this campground may or may not be for you.

Loved it!

Small and yet beautifully cared for privately owned campground. Our kids enjoyed the pool. The docks on the Suwannee River were beautiful. Will definitely be back with paddle boards or kayaks.

Absolutely beautiful!

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. Staff is very accommodating and helpful. Will definitely be going back.

They are also biker friendly if you’re traveling with your bike.
