  Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park & Campground

  Music Wonderland Camping Experience

  I imagine that Suwannee Music Park Campground was borne out of the wonderful brainchild idea of someone who was fortunate enough to attend the original Woodstock back in ’69 and after leaving the upstate NY experience, woke up 3,000 miles away here on the shores of the Suwannee and said to themselves,“hey, why not try to create that experience here in NW Florida?!” And thus, this nature-embracing outdoor musical playground was given birth.

  Let’s begin with the sheer size of this place: with 800+ acres and over 600 campsites to choose from, this thickly wooded sprawling campground expanse is massive. And when it comes to the camping itself, no matter what type you might be thinking of - from RV and 5th Wheelers to those towing Horse Trailers and, Primitive Camping and Treehouses as well as Cabins for lease, every type of outdoor camping is offered here.

  The major attraction here, apart from the live music performances that get booked very frequently in this camping outpost, is the direct access you’ll have to the historic Cypress tree-lined Suwannee River, which is nothing short of fantastic if you enjoy paddling a kayak or canoe. If you are looking for something just as active but different, there’s a dedicated disc golf course as well as endless miles of trails, perfect for hiking and biking.

  Other amenities include: horse stables, children’s playground, covered pavilions, a bird sanctuary, chapel, small lake with fishing dock (catch & release only), bat house (apparently the largest in the US), tree house, craft village, boat launch, barn museum, drum circle, horse wash / manure disposal, arcade game room with pinball machine, live music pavilions, shelters, potable water stations, karaoke, riverside beach, viewable bee hives, golf cart rental, designated dump stations, WiFi, on-site cafe and general store (firewood, ice, beer, T-shirts, hats and caps), bar and music hall, pickin’ shed, geocaching, rock waterfall, first aid stations, swimming pool (that also serves up ice cream and pizza poolside), multiple music stages, restrooms and shower facilities and Suwannee River dock. For the RV crowd, Suwanee Music Park offers 20 / 30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage hook-ups.

  Insider’s tips? Here’s a handful: (1) Despite being pretty far removed from civilization for those really wanting to embrace a nice chunk of untouched nature, I have to admit this place was overwhelmed with golf carts when we visited, which really takes away from the ambiance of being out in nature in the first place IMHO. Many times this place felt more like the Villages (the world's largest and most well-heeled retirement community located south of here in central Florida) than a remote camping outpost; (2) Should you need anything, the town of Live Oak is just a 20 minute drive south of here wherein you’ll find just about everything you are looking for, including a Busy Bee for excellent bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities, Walmart Supercenter and Publix for groceries as well as just OK restaurants like Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, Zaxby’s and a Waffle House, but for actual really good food, keep on heading south to the center of town where you’ll find Big Wood BBQ & Grill, The 406 or Brown Lantern; (3) If you were fascinated by the drama, murder and mayhem on the Netflix series Tiger King, then head south of Live Oak to Mystic Jungle where you can see all of their amazing wild cats that normally you would only be able to see while on safari; (4) For my primitive tent pitching bredren, of all the amazing places to consider here, I would strongly recommend those primitive camping spots that are either located near the Bat House over just north and west of Farm Field or the primitive camping sites just east of Spirit Lake; (5) Only downsides include: very overcrowded in some places, lots of bugs (so be sure to bring the Citronella!), uneven land to pitch a tent in the primitive camping area, RV sites are pretty close to one another, WiFi is intermittent and weak in many places, ‘golf carts gone wild’ scenarios, lots of restrictions and rules (destroys that Woodstock vibe I thought we would find here), dated bathrooms will take you back to the 1970s; (6) Upsides include: incredibly friendly staff, very close to Highway 10 making this spot very easy and quick to access, incredibly well-stocked general store; and (7) For best bat viewing, come at dusk to watch them leave by the tens of thousands turning the sky dark, and then come before dawn to watch them all return while sipping your Americano in a lawn chair.

  Happy Camping!

  Madison RV Resort and Golf Course

  Our Winter Place

  We enjoyed this campground (CG) as this was our 4th year coming back. There is plenty of signage and GPS takes you right to the CG. You turn left after the railroad tracks that will take you around the golf course, past the clubhouse, and to the check-in office. Do not go to the clubhouse to register, it is a small parking lot not suitable for RVs. After we checked in, we proceeded to buddy sites 60 and 60A. We easily backed into 60A and set up for our two-month stay. Madison had a rough 2023 with hurricane damage that was still being cleaned up when we arrived in mid-February. Our nightly rate is based on the monthly rate and golf package. We enjoyed golfing on their 9-hole course. WiFi is better than normal for this sized CG and we got two bars on Verizon. We had clear shots of the southern or northern sky for satellite and several OTA channels. On the back of the office are showers and a laundry room with 4 washers and 4 dryers. Firewood& propane were available and included propane pickup(set the tank at the end of your site) and firewood delivery if requested. The CG has a nice mix of back-in and pull-thru sites. Our buddy site was spacious, but we would rate the other sites as"nearby." They also have three cabins for rent. This CG is not a kids’ destination(big pro for us) as there is no playground nor much to do for the young ones. The CG is more adult-oriented with a pickleball court and activities such as group walks or special events like golf tournaments/leagues, karaoke, game nights, and potlucks. There is a large(about 2 acres) fenced dog park with a fenced-off area for small dogs. If you are allergic to train noise, a train track is adjacent to the CG. Trains run periodically normally during the day. Otherwise, this is a quiet park considering its size.

  Nice GA Stste Park

  Really liked this campground, I would return. Nice walking trails And you can also kayak down the river. Bathrooms are clean and kept up. I stayed in site 9 - it was a pull thru and very shady with a nice area in the back. Would choose that site again. Did put up the screen over the table as the gnats are fierce. Mosquitoes were there but not that bad

  Lake Park Campground

  Good for an overnight

  Selected campground based on proximity to interstate. Loud traffic drove us to stay inside our camper instead of enjoying outside.

  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. Had to park father back to reach connections which was where the site dropped off (causing us to use extra boards to level). We moved the picnic table back towards the camper, otherwise it would have been by our truck’s doors.

  Bathrooms were clean, but dated with rusty stall doors. Be aware there are speed humps throughout the campground. No fire pit on our site, but other sites had them. Not sure if we were allowed a fire as such.

  For overnight guests, I would recommend asking for sites up near the front of the park, as they appeared newer and more level, although less trees. I would avoid the row next to the bathrooms on the far side of the lake as they appeared to be the most unlevel, like the one we chose based on the website (site 41). Be aware that some of the outer ring sites in the wooded area on the far side are pull-in sites, not pull-thru or back-in, which could make it challenging if you want to drop your trailer and leave.

  We would stay again in a pinch, but this isn’t a destination.

  Excellent Stay

  My family and I stayed here our first night with a camper without any camping experience. The facilities were great and hooking up was a breeze! I will be going back for a more extended stay but we just wanted to spend a night away with our new camper for this one.

  Never again

  This place has some rude and unwelcoming staff. The lady who checked us in must not realize she works in the hospitality industry. It’s listed as a KOA “Holiday” but it must have been given that designation a very long time ago. All the amenities are very dated. The sites are narrow and very close together. Would not recommend.

  Ragan Family Campground

  Fun filled 4 night stay

  This campground has so much to offer for the kids. Between fishing, the pool, the water park, mining for gems and the 3 playgrounds around the park our son didn’t run out of activities. That’s not to mention to activities the campground plans for the weekends that they write on a board each morning with the times.

  Lots to do

  There's a water slide pool and lazy river. Cabins are pretty nice, there are atv trails if you have your own atv. You can rent golf carts, there's a store, games (not all of them work tho) pool table. Lots of fun for the whole family. Some of the staff had attitudes when we were there but still had a great time

  Nice Small Campground

  PROS 

  Site 14- shady; 100% sand; moveable small wooden picnic table and metal fire ring with cooking grate; small clothes line permanently erected 

  Fairly new bathhouse which was very clean 

  Quiet except for Interstate 10, US90 and occasional train 

  Park security gate closes at sunset and requires code to enter 

  Campground Drive thrus by sheriff and park personnel 

  Very friendly and helpful volunteers 

  Lots and lots of squirrels. 

  Didn’t see any other wild life. 

  CONS 

  Paid transaction fee for making my own online reservation 

  Camping in cars permitted in FHU campsites 

  No privacy from other sites or campground roadway 

  No Park WIFI 

  1 bar TMOBILE

  Don’t Miss 

  Live Oak is the next eastbound Interstate 10 exit, so 7 miles, which has Walmart with Murphy fuel, Lowe’s, Winn-Dixie and Publix 

  Watch local law enforcement speed surveillance on US90. Goes from 60 mph to 45 mph at the Interstate junction! 

  Robbie’s Cafe for some reasonably priced home cooking 

  O’Neal County Buffet in Madison for bodacious fried chicken

  Madison RV Resort and Golf Course

  Another Great Stay

  There’s signage as you get close to the campground (CG) to guide you in. We arrived and checked in with no problems. As this was our third time here, we did not need an escort to our site, 60a, to meet up with our travel partners who were in site 60. Sites 60 and 60A are the buddy sites by the pond. Our nightly rate of$41 was based on the monthly rate, electricity, and a golf package with the cart. The CG area is adjacent to their well-maintained 9-hole course. WiFi is better than normal for this sized CG, and we got two bars on Verizon. We had a clear shot of the northern sky for Starlink, and there were several OTA channels. As this is a newer CG with not a lot of interior mature trees, there is no problem with satellite reception. Connected to the office are 3 very nice individual shower rooms and a laundry room with 4 washers and 4 dryers. If a washer or dryer breaks, they get it repaired quickly. Firewood& propane were available, including free propane pickup(set the tank at the end of your site) and firewood delivery if requested. The CG has a nice mix of back-in and pull-thru sites. Our buddy site was spacious, but would rate the other sites as"nearby." They also have three cabins for rent. This CG is definitely not a kids’ destination(big pro for us) as there is no playground nor much to do for the young ones, including they aren't allowed to operate the golf carts. The CG is more adult-oriented, with a pickleball court and activities such as group walks or special events like golf tournaments/leagues, karaoke, and potlucks. This year they added a very nice Tiki Bar at the pool. A huge bonus for us is the large(about 2 acres) fenced dog park. There’s a smaller fenced-off area for small dogs. We also enjoyed daily walks around the CG and along the front of the golf course. 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. Otherwise, this was a quiet park considering its size. Madison has your basic amenities and a few restaurants. Valdosta, GA, is about 30 minutes away with the major amenities such as Walmart and big box stores. If you’re a foodie or desire a robust touristy experience, this is probably not the destination for you.

  Gators

   The campground is a real gem. It's beautiful!

  Many nice sites that look like camping in the jungle. Water & electric sites. Some are small- more like tent sites.

   Sites- 1-25 seem larger. you could get a bigger rig into them. 

  Sites 26-58 seemed smaller.

   Site 39 was very small. tent only. 

  Sites 59-64 are pull throughs. The rest are back in.

  We had site 41 which was plenty big for us. It was also near the bathroom.

  If you like being close to the facilities, 40/41/42 are the spots to choose.

  There's 2 comfort stations. The bathroom/showers are individual units. They were very clean for a state park in the swamp!

  It was buggy & we were there the end of April. 

   Thursday night was dead quiet, but the weekend was busy.

  The dump station has only one dump.

  This is a small state park- only 120 acres, but camping here is definitely worthwhile.

  Great park

  Great Park, some of the sites are a challenge to back into. With us being with limited experience some are a challenge to get into. The park is always very clean (our second time here) and never very crowded. We were here in March of last year and last of April and early May. Let’s say March is a lot better due to the yellow flies, mosquitoes and horse flies bothersome this trip. We took the guided tour last year and enjoyed it very much. Also this is a very quite campground just be sure your stocked the necessities since the nearest store is app 18 miles away. When we come back it will be February/March. Hope this review helps.

  This was our first stop of many and it did not disappoint. We were in loop 1 . Very quiet, for smaller rigs and tents. Restrooms and showers were clean . Much to do in park . Several hiking trailers. A nice boardwalk walk. We rented a canoe for a few hours .

  Nice campground

  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. The trees are beautiful here with the Spanish moss. Kind of pricey for the limited amenities. The sites are also a little snug for big rigs, but doable. Would stay again

  Nice campground on the lake

  We stayed here for just 1 night on the way back to Tennessee. Half of the campground was closed due to renovation. The other sites are almost all pull through sites, which is very nice of you have a bigger camper. Each site had a picnic table, firepit, water and electricity. The bathhouse and showers were very clean. Unfortunately we had no time to do any of the activities like hiking or kayaking. The lake looks very inviting for fishing or boating. We also saw several Gopher tortoise dens but unfortunately no tortoise. We would love to stop again and explore the park.

  4.5 stars

  Stayed for one night and would have enjoyed several more. Good sized sites, nice trails and live oaks, a playground. Add 5 bucks to the cost of booking, because there is a 5 dollar park fee. Still reasonable, cheap actually for what you get. 8 to 10 minutes off of 75, but worth it for the quiet and beauty compared to roadside stops.

  Suwannee River State Park Campground

  Quiet camping in the "real" Florida

  General: 30-site campground, all with full hookups (water, electric - 30 and 50 amp - and sewer). Two of the sites are handicap accessible with concrete driveways; the others are gravel. There are also cabins which looked very nice. We received a call from the ranger since the ranger station would close before our arrival letting us know the gate code (although it turned out the gate was still open), and where to pick up our hang tag and park information.

  Site Quality: All sites appeared to be level. Not much privacy/separation between sites and with the exception of one of the handicapped sites, it was full when we were there on a weekday at the end of October. A picnic table and fire grate complete the site.

  Bathhouse: Very clean. Didn’t use the shower so cannot comment on them but they looked very clean. 

  Activities/Amenities: Several hiking trails, most of them short in length but there was one 12.5-mile trail. The trails are all well-marked. There is also a boat ramp. Nice modern washer and dryer for a very reasonable cost of $1.50 each 

  This was just an overnight stopover for us but we did walk partway on Lime Sink Run, Balanced Rock, and Suwanee River Trails. It looks like they are making improvements to the park, including a wooden boardwalk and a new bridge on the Suwanee River Trail. If there was more separation/privacy between sites, would have given this four stars.

  Can’t beat this KOA Journey

  I’m only staying one night at this KOA Journey in Tifton but from what I’ve seen you can’t beat it! Tons of amenities including a playground, bathrooms, dog park, 1 mile dog nature hike, large spread out spaces for well over a hundred rigs I’d guess. If you’re planning a trip down 75 through this area, I highly recommend this spot for a stay over or longer.

  Cute park in the middle of nowhere

  We really enjoyed this park! They offer rental boats & tours of the swamp, there's also a little boardwalk (pictured: Trembling Earth Nature Trail) if you're not comfortable on the water. There are defiantly alligators & bears in the area. This is a dark sky park, but unfortunately it was cloudy during our visit so I can't speak to the view. Cell service is spotty, even starlink had issues w/ all the trees. It pretty far out in the boonies so be prepared for a long drive if you need to go to town. The road in the campground is pretty narrow & winding, bigger rigs might have some troubles.
