    Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
    Unfound Florida Dark Sky Come enjoy the natural beauty of Northern Florida on our private primitive campsite near Suwannee River State Park. A hub for outdoor recreation! Spend your day fishing, paddling, or swimming in the nearby springs and rivers, or hike one of the many nearby trails, then retire under a blanket of stars at night. Northern Florida offers some of the darkest skies in the state with incredible star viewing opportunities on clear nights! We are conveniently located within a 9 min drive of Twin Rivers State Forest, 16 min drive of Madison Blue Springs State Park, and a 17 min drive to Suwannee River State Park. Don’t feel like driving? You’re in luck because we are just a 2 min drive (or 9 min walk) to the trailhead of Big Oak Trail (16-mile loop that connects to the Florida National Scenic Trail) and a boat launch to the Suwannee River. Parking is available at the boat launch and trailhead. The campsite sits on a 0.25 acre wooded lot surround by vacant wooded lots of similar size in every direction, so there is lots of privacy! Recent hurricanes felled many trees, but the roadways are clear. The area is entirely dirt roads, but there are street signs for navigation. Limited parking is available in front of the property adjacent to the dirt road. This is a primitive campsite in the woods! There is no running water, bathrooms, or electricity. You’ll need to bring everything you need and take everything you brought. A winding footpath leads you from the road to the campsite. There is a 15ft x 15ft clearing for a tent, a fire pit with table and chairs, and a dog hammock. Pets are welcome but there is no fence so they will need to be on a leash. Things to do nearby: Swimming: Madison Blue Spring has been consistently rated the best swimming hole in America. Because this is such a popular state park it reaches capacity shortly after opening, so it pays to stay close and arrive early. Paddling and Fishing: We are a 2 min drive to a boat launch to the Suwannee River. A few miles downriver you will connect with the Whithlacoochie River. Parking is available at the boat launch. Stargazing: On clear nights you will enjoy an unbelievable blanket of stars so pack the telescope! *You may hear distant gunshots from nearby hunting preservesCome enjoy the natural beauty of Northern Florida on our private primitive campsite near Suwannee River State Park.

    Clear instructions and easy to find. Nice pullout for the car and a short trail takes you to a beautiful fire pit with chairs and a table and plenty of space for a large tent. Very quiet and relaxing stay. Would stay again
