In 1990 the State of Florida banned logging within 1,000 feet of the Suwannee River so Southeast Timberlands sold off it's holdings and we were lucky enough to purchase 6 acres and 444 feet of riverfront. A designated "Pristine Scenic Waterway" with very steep banks, the Suwannee is one of the few"wild" rivers left in the United States and can rise over 30 feet to flood stage almost overnight; yet due to its unique topography we can access it no matter how high or low the water. The Forest Service has bought up the surrounding lots, creating a 10 mile Conservation corridor supporting the National Scenic Florida Trail, it's clearly marked footpaths and natural attractions. To that end, we have left the old growth upland forest the way we found it. The campsite is a natural feature as is the Zen deck and canoe launch, a swale draining the ridge. The campsite is level, the lane to the river slopes gently dropping in elevation 20 feet over 1,000 in making it easy for able bodied guests to navigate their way to the white sugar sand beach. We want to share our retreat with those who are looking for a real wilderness experience in an exclusive private setting. A Waiver of Liability is required by all guests as the Wilderness is an inherently dangerous place. We only offer one accommodation per weekend with a maximum of 8 people so our guests can have the seclusion they desire and be free to enjoy the natural wonder of the woodland experience in any manner they choose.

Nature at its finest

The property itself is filled with magic. It is set next to the Florida Trail and the Suwannee River. The endless trails and nature not only sets it apart, but makes this campground unique. The amenities that are included in the site are well and above everything you need for camping. The covered patio is massive and has a microwave, fridge, grill, flattop and just about anything you need. My wife and two boys loved this place and we will be back :)

We had a great experience. The fire pit and screen room are lovely. Area is private and has a lot of trails. Our dog loved being off leash the entire time. Would recommend.

Absolutely wonderful stay! We went with our kids and puppy. Even with the rain, our stay was comfortable and fun. This was our second time there and won't be our last! Janet is always a wonderful host and Jerry checked on us daily.

What a great stay!

What a great stay! Very secluded but only 10-25 minutes away if you forget a necessity. Space was clean and host Janet was very welcoming: We loved sitting around the fire ring and hanging out under the canopy with the fires. We visited during new moon and the stars were absolutely incredible!I loved that we could clamp with some comforts like a toilet and hot water but feel isolated like we were the only ones around!

Great spot to explore
Great spot! We felt secluded and like we had plenty of privacy while feeling safe the whole time. Such a great blend of roughing it while having the basic necessities. The disappearing creek, waterfall, and where it all comes out into the Suwannee are worth a trip alone. It’s nice being able to enjoy the bluffs well above the river or have multiple access points down to the waters edge. Plenty of flora and fauna as well. We came across deer, raccoons, opossums, black racers, millions of frogs, wild persimmon, lions mane, chicken of the woods, and more without having to leave the trail. We will be back!

Glamping with Bentley
Me and my pup had SO much fun Glamping last weekend! Janet is a great hostess and Jerry made sure I had everything I needed (including things I forgot to bring). I spent the majority of time at the G Spot (gazebo) on the river! Watching the river, the sun go down, doing my yoga and listening to music in this paradise. The weather was amazing! We enjoyed a fire in the outside fireplace each night while we watched the moon come up. EXACTLY what I needed after a week of anxiety and turmoil! Reset my soul!
