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.

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!

Fantastic site with great hosting! Highly recommend and I will definitely be back. The river water was very high and that was disappointing, but this great location gave us plenty to do.

Great spot for families!
What an awesome camping spot! We LOVED letting our pup roam freely—and our kids had an excellent time. “Best trip ever!” Jerry was an excellent help, too; friendly, accommodating, welcoming. It truly was a trip to remember! NOTE: while the site was quite pest-free, we did experience a ton of ticks (mainly on our pup) through the woods. Prepare yourself! We WILL be back!

Dogs LOVED it
The dogs loved running around and exploring. They set up a little kitchen for us, which made cooking super easy. Nice hikes around the river. Would definitely return!

My boyfriend and I had a great time camping. Janet was a great host and Jerry gave us a tour of the property and checked on us daily to make sure we had everything we needed. The property was amazing with access to launch our kayaks and a miles of hiking trails adjacent to the property. We camped in august, so having power for our fans was a huge plus. A cold shower after a hot day was definitely welcomed. We kayaked and hiked the trails near the campsite. We didn’t see a single person, with the exception of Jerry, the entire stay. The screened in porch and covered patio area were great places to spend the evening relaxing. We will definitely be back!!
