Cedar Canyon Quarry @ Ichetucknee

Cedar Canyon Quarry is a family-owned property that was once a lime rock mine which has been inactive since the 1970's and has since "rewilded" itself with hundreds of red cedars. The lake itself which is located within a canyon and surrounded by cliffs has numerous connections to the Florida Aquifer via underground springs and is filled with bass, bluegill, catfish, perch, and even a small population of freshwater eels! Less than an hour from Gainesville and only 2.5 miles from the Ichetucknee river, we are available by appointment only 7 days a week, 365 days per year. At this time we do not have tubes or kayaks for rent so you will need to bring your own.

The private campsite.  One reservation per weekend up to 8 guests.

Suwannee River Glamping

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.



The only waterfall I've seen in my 18 years in Florida.

One of the many areas available to sleep. We stayed in the screened room to the back.

Large fire pit, plenty of room for tents and hammocks.

4A River Camp

This area was inhabited by indians many years ago and the remnants of their civilization are scattered about in the rivers and land.  The Ichetucknee River was named by a tribe of Creek Indians who came down from north Georgia and Alabama, and means "place of the beavers".  This area is rich in history and beautiful nature.With over 1/3 acre of dedicated riverfront property on the Santa Fe River, you’ll have all the peace and quiet you can handle in this single spot campsite. The campsite was purpose-built for friends and family who come to visit this slice of paradise we call home. Ideally located in the heart of spring country in North Central Florida, we have over 18 major springs within a 50-mile radius of this location, which allows for all the outdoor exploration and watersports you desire. With tubing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, boating, and fishing available within feet of the campsite, you can stay nearby or venture out to some of the best springs in the world.
Boaters – Private boat ramp is 200 yards up the road on the Santa Fe, public boat ramps within 10 miles on the Santa Fe and Suwannee rivers.
Tubers – Tube the private section of the crystal-clear Ichetucknee river accessible only by the homeowners via our 3 waterfront parks. Both get-out parks are within walking distance to the campsite for your convenience.
Paddlers – Paddle the Santa Fe or Ichetucknee rivers from within the neighborhood, or if the time of year is right, venture up to the Ichetucknee State Park to paddle the head waters and north entrance. This is limited in season and numbers to keep the impact on the river to a minimum.
Swimmers – Swim the Santa Fe or Ichetucknee rivers from within the neighborhood via our 9 waterfront parks (6 Santa Fe, 3 Ichetucknee) or venture to either entrance of the Ichetucknee River State Park just a few miles away.
Nature lovers – Explore the unspoiled conservation areas within the neighborhood that can be hiked and explored. Setup a hammock and sit by the river and watch all your worries wash away, you may get to see the occasional manatee.
Whatever your passion, this campsite accommodates it with electric (50/30/15), water, picnic table, concrete firepit, clothesline and plenty of room to spread out. The neighborhood is golf-cart and UTV friendly and has lots of dirt roads to explore.  The deer can be found quite easily every morning and evening while riding around and rarely run away from the vehicles.
Area Springs and Recreation attractions include the following springs and state parks. Google search Florida Springs for more information on each.

The waters of the Ichetucknee are clear, cool, and refreshing on a hot Florida day. This is Point Park, a ten minute walk from camp.

Lots of space to lounge on the river directly behind where you pitch your tent.

Bring a float. This place is walking distance to the crystal clear Ichetucknee river where you can take a leisurely raft ride.

The campsite sits directly on the Santa Fe River. Not crystal clear like the Ichetucknee, but still lined by beautiful cypress trees and provides excellent boating opportunities.
