What to do
Kayaking on the Suwannee River: The Suwannee River State Park Campground provides access to one of the region's most iconic waterways. "Great beach to keep boats over night. Very clean and nice facilities. Wonderful staff! Great trees for hammocking!!" notes Jessica W., highlighting the park's river-friendly amenities.
Golfing at dedicated resorts: Madison RV Resort and Golf Course combines camping with a 9-hole golf course. According to MickandKarla W., "Our nightly rate was based on the monthly rate and included a golf cart and golfing on their well maintained 9 hole course." The course makes a good activity option during cooler months.

What campers like
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness consistently ranks high in camper preferences. At Lake Park Campground, Cathy mentions, "The roads and sites are paved. The wifi is not bad, but no cable TV if that is important. The staff is nice. Grounds are kept up well."
Water features: Swimming and water recreation opportunities stand out as highlights. According to Shea A., Suncoast RV Campground offers a "Beautiful campground on the water conveniently located. Lots of animals to see and the staff is outstanding, friendly and accommodating."
Dog-friendly areas: Many campgrounds accommodate pets with dedicated spaces. MickandKarla W. appreciates that Madison RV Resort has "a huge bonus for us was their large(about 2 acres) fenced dog park. There's a smaller fenced-off area for small dogs."
What you should know
Highway noise levels: Many campgrounds sit near I-75, creating ambient traffic sounds. Teresa S. notes about Eagles Roost RV Resort, "This is a great stopover since it has easy access to I-75 on the FL-GA line. The sites are shady and have many pull through concrete pad sites that are well maintained. The only reason I have given it a 4 star review, because of the traffic noise."
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require work to level RVs properly. According to Eleanor the Airstream R. at Suncoast RV Campground, "Site was unlevel and took three boards to fix side to side, disconnected from TV to fix fore/aft. Concrete pad was all the way forward on the site while connections were over midway back making it so we couldn't use both easily."
Train proximity: Railroad tracks run near several campgrounds. MickandKarla W. cautions, "If you are allergic to train noise, there is a train track adjacent to the CG. Trains didn't run every day, but when they did, they have been during daylight hours."
Tips for camping with families
Consider kid-focused amenities: Ragan Family Campground offers extensive activities specifically for children. Ashlee R. shares, "There is close zero cell reception and they have wifi but we really weren't able to connect and use it. Very spotty. Madison Blue spring is a quick drive and SO beautiful. In all, lots of people lots of cool ATVs to check out, a great little store, hilarious karaoke, clean grounds."
Theme park proximity: Some campgrounds provide easy access to local attractions. According to Rob V., Wild Adventures Campground offers "Camping / Roller Coasters / Waterpark" all in one location. "This is a wonderful campground. We love to get one of the sites backed in on the animal side. You can walk to the park to ride roller coasters and after that you can go to the water park to swim."
Swimming options: Water recreation features heavily in family camping preferences. Elizabeth from Rainbow Campground states, "It is such a great place to camp. I sent up my tent with a few friends had plenty of space. Water was available on site along with electric. Table grill and fire pit. Bathhouse was close by and the swimming is refreshing."
Tips from RVers
Late arrival procedures: For those traveling after office hours, Joe R. notes about Love's RV Hookup, "This is our stopover on 75 if going north. Easy access on and off 75. Decent rates for full hookups. They have a good store and bojangles on site. Propane (broken last time) is also on site."
Site selection strategy: Choose your site based on specific needs. Heather H. from Suncoast RV Campground advises, "Pros: staff that did our reservation couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Grounds are clean, camping world connected to property, all people we met here were very friendly, even the people that live here."
Hookup configurations: RVers should note varying hookup placements. Eleanor the Airstream R. points out, "Concrete pad was all the way forward on the site while connections were over midway back making it so we couldn't use both easily. Had to park father back to reach connections which was where the site dropped off."
