Royal Springs Retreat

Paradise

This was our family’s absolute favorite camping trip. It was beautiful and peaceful. Easy set up for our 30 foot camper and our kids had plenty of room to also tent camp. Our pups loved the space they had to run and play. Christine let us know before our “cancellation deadline” that Royal springs was still a bit murky from the Swuannee River run off but that didn’t keep us from having the best time. Christine was also incredibly generous by allowing us to use a canoe and kayak so we were able to paddle down the river and enjoy making memories. The signal is spotty there but we didn’t mind at all because it gave us an opportunity to enjoy our family. There’s a charcoal grill, cook utensils, fire pit, picnics tables, folding table, shovel, and there was even some wood left over there to build a fire. It was so private and peaceful. We will be returning many times in the near future. Thank you for sharing this absolutely beautiful piece of paradise Christine.

Private spot on the River

Wonderful, private spot right on the river. Had everything we needed including a place to put in our canoe and our dog enjoyed being able to roam around. We went through hurricane Debby while there so things weren't as relaxing and peaceful as it would be with good weather. The owners, Tony and Christine came over after the storm to help us get our canoe out of the water and help cut us out from the downed trees and branches. It was very much appreciated and they are great people! Loved the spot and we will be back - later in the year....

Best private campground so far!!

This campground have everything you need! Pack your personal items and head that way! I had so much fun! Power, water, sewer and CABLE! The overhang is great for rainy days. The steps to go down to the river is beautiful! The included cayaks, paddle board, life jackets, charcoal, grill, etc was very nice! I love how quiet it was and I really did not want to leave! Definatly coming back soon!!!! The spring is so close and the dirt road are perfect for RV/Trailers.

Family camping weekend

Great location with all the amenities. It rained every afternoon but the carport was great and kept us dry. A few good launch spots and a quick little paddle to Royal springs.

Camping Joy

Note: Written for people who care more about "Feelings" than logistics. Logistics are well covered elsewhere ☺️ What an amazing visit! My husband and I, along with our 6yo grand son and my sister-in-law visited for several days mid July 2024. Christine, who was out of town due to family matters, coordinated everything for our stay with perfection, during which, her location was hit by a Hurricane! Her husband, Tony, was absolutely among the finest "on-site" hosts we've ever encountered. We'll return not just to experience the magnificent location, which is perfectly documented in various pictures on this site, but because, as often happens within our community, we made new friends in Christine and Tony. Our purpose for being there was that a bunch of old Navy Buddies were visiting for the weekend. We and another couple have RVs, our other friends don't. No problemo! They have a gorgeous VRBO https://www.vrbo.com/3263260 within walking distance. So, if you're looking for the perfect place to relax, read a book, drink a glass of wine and feel centered, this could be your place. See you down the road, my friends! Cheers-Gaby
