Exploring Suwannee River Campground Locations

By Elsa English


There is a place in Northern Florida where both people connect. This is at the Suwannee River Campground located near the town of Live Oak. It is an area which has a great deal to offer camping, fishing and music enthusiasts.

Other historical aspects include one of the State's oldest burial places along with relics from old steamboats and other equipment. There are five trails ranging from easy to difficult which feature different views. Timelines differ based on experience but the distances range between a 1/4 mile to 18 miles in length. Hikers need remember that simply because a trail is long or short in distance does not mean it is easy and check distance, time and difficulty ratings before each hike.

Each trail loops around woodlands, many with panoramic views of the area. Different trails offer the opportunity for boating, fishing, hiking and picnicking. Nature abounds with flora and fauna as visitors view a variety of birds, butterflies and honeybees in natural habitats, and occasional exhibits. Located only thirteen miles from Live Oak, Floria, travelers will find easy campground and park access off U. S. Hwy 90.

Individuals tend to visit these parks and campgrounds on both a walk-in basis and with reservations. As the area plays host to several popular music festivals in Spring and Summer, it is generally best to call ahead to make reservations. For those passing through without reservations, there are several options for lodging should campgrounds be sold out.

At most campgrounds, individuals are going to find everything necessary for a great night's lodging. This includes cabins, ample tent space and RV parking areas with hookups, rest rooms, and showers. There may also be campgrounds in the area which are more primitive for those who are a bit more daring, or just prefer a rougher camping experience.

One of the most upscale campgrounds on the river is that of the Suwannee Music Park and Campground. It is a one of a kind park that offers several music festivals throughout the year. The park also provides live entertainment on certain nights of the weeks, a fun camping experience whether tenting or RVing along with many other amenities. When deciding whether to stay here, at the State park or other campground, it is good to research the location online to assure the location can meet all required needs during a stay.

Families traveling with small children are most often going to want to stay near a swimming pool, playground and other activities for children. As use of the campground equipment is often based on staying at the location, those with children may want to consider staying at a local KOA, the Music Park or other campground with equipment for children. Whereas, older individuals, hikers, youth groups, etc. May want to consider the campground at the State park. The State park offers a number of self-guided and guided hikes and is a great place for solo travelers, couples, families and youth groups to learn more about nature.

Visiting each park is often the best plan while visiting this area of Florida. Individuals can then decide which works best for camping or other lodging needs. Since both offer campgrounds with cabins, RV and tent space along with other lodging options in the area, it has become a well known area which is quite welcoming to tourists year round.
