Horne Lake RV Resort

73 RV Sites

Horne Lake RV Resort in Yulee, Florida, offers 73 paved full-hookup pull-through RV sites across 182 acres of north Florida woodland, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 72 feet. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with a heated saltwater pool, natural lake, ponds, and walking trails at I-95 Exit 380. Seventy-three sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 72 feet. Paved pads, a single consistent spec, and 72 feet of length make this an unusually easy park to pull into after a long interstate day. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A heated saltwater pool anchors the property — saltwater rather than chlorine is a genuine quality-of-life difference on a long stay. A natural lake and ponds support fishing and wildlife observation, with walking trails, a game room, recreation center, community fire pit, playground, billiards, hiking, biking, swimming, and picnicking filling the rest. Pets are welcome. One hundred eighty-two acres of woodland gives the property real substance — this goes well beyond the overnight I-95 stop its exit location might suggest. Yulee sits in Nassau County along the Florida-Georgia line, which puts Amelia Island's beaches and historic Fernandina Beach, the Okefenokee, coastal Georgia's islands, Jacksonville, and the north Florida springs all within a comfortable drive. Winter and spring drive the heaviest demand as snowbirds move down the I-95 corridor. Reserve well ahead for January through April, with easier availability through the humid summer.

Pecan Park Sun RV Communities

119 RV Sites

Pecan Park in Jacksonville, Florida, offers 119 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Five tiered categories run from premium through elite and elite plus in both back-in and pull-through configurations, with a pool, hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, and lake views in an all-ages community. One hundred nineteen sites span premium back-in, premium pull-through, elite back-in, elite pull-through, and elite plus pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Laundry, propane fills and exchange, a dump station, restrooms, and showers support the year-round and seasonal residents who make up much of the community. The property was formerly Pecan Park RV Resort. The amenity roster is broad. An outdoor pool and hot tub anchor the recreation, with a clubhouse, recreation center, and craft room for the social calendar. Tennis, pickleball, bocce ball, basketball, sports courts, and billiards fill the competitive side, with a playground, dog park, community fire pit, and on-site dining besides. Fishing runs from the property's lake, and live music and planned activities run through the season. A beach and state park are nearby. Jacksonville sits in Duval County just south of the Georgia line — geographically the largest city in Florida, with a professional football franchise, an established museum corridor, 22 miles of barrier island beaches, and the St. Johns River threading the urban landscape. Winter and spring carry the heaviest demand. Reserve ahead.

Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Campground

35 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 16 Tent Sites, 4 Glamping Sites

Just outside the main entrance to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in the small community of Folkston, Georgia, Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins, RV Park and Campground has created a destination of unusual character and completeness—a property where a dark sky astronomy field, a weekend restaurant, a pollinator garden, and 31 full-hookup RV sites combine to serve the full spectrum of Okefenokee visitors from the serious swamp naturalist to the family that discovered the campground's star-gazing pavilion by accident and stayed two nights longer than planned. Three deluxe cabins, two camper cabins, four glamping tents, and 17 tent and camping sites extend the accommodation spectrum, making Okefenokee Pastimes one of the most diverse lodging operations at any campground in coastal Georgia. All 31 full-hookup RV sites include electric, water, and sewer connections alongside property-wide Wi-Fi and access to eight tap-to-pay laundry machines, ADA-accessible bathhouses, and a camp store stocked for both practical supply runs and snack-and-souvenir impulses. A covered pavilion and book exchange serve the community's social infrastructure, and a DVD library provides rainy-afternoon entertainment when the afternoon showers that are the Okefenokee's seasonal norm make outdoor activity temporarily impractical. The on-site restaurant, open Thursday through Saturday from noon to 8 p.m., serves burgers, sandwiches, and locally sourced food that makes it the best dining option within several miles of the refuge entrance. The dark sky astronomy field—a pavilion with a communal fire pit positioned away from the property's lighting infrastructure—represents one of the campground's most distinctive amenities in a region where Charlton County's minimal light pollution creates nighttime sky conditions that urban campers rarely encounter. A catch-and-release fishing pond, pollinator garden with butterfly and hummingbird plantings, and the dog park with proof-of-vaccination entry requirements create an on-property environmental ethic that reflects the campground's proximity to one of the most ecologically important protected areas in the American South. Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, beginning at the campground's doorstep, protects 438,000 acres of one of North America's largest and most intact freshwater ecosystems—a peat bog and swamp environment supporting American alligators, sandhill cranes, wood storks, and the American black bear that moves through the refuge's interior terrain. Canoe and kayak trail permits into the wilderness interior require advance reservation and provide multi-day paddling experiences through blackwater channels and lily pad prairies representing the most immersive Okefenokee experience available. The Folkston Funnel, where two major CSX rail lines merge into one of the nation's busiest freight corridors, draws railroad enthusiasts to the city's famous train watching platform for an experience unlike anything else in the Deep South. The Okefenokee area's subtropical climate—hot, humid summers and mild winters—supports year-round camping, with the most comfortable conditions from October through April when the extreme summer heat moderates to temperatures that make swamp paddling, wildlife photography, and stargazing most rewarding. Winter is the driest season in the Okefenokee, when alligator activity slows but sandhill crane migrations and wintering waterfowl bring the refuge to a different kind of peak natural beauty. Spring wildflower season in the surrounding Charlton County landscape and the alligator mating season in April and May—when the swamp reverberates with the bellowing of territorial males—provide the most compelling seasonal reasons to visit the refuge in its most active period.

Sun Outdoors St. Augustine

98 RV Sites, 4 Park Models

Sun Outdoors St. Augustine in Florida offers 98 full-hookup RV sites and four park models on wooded land 4.6 miles from the historic downtown, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 75 feet, open all year behind a gated entrance.

The cozy tier keeps a lower-priced option available for smaller rigs, and the patio categories add outdoor living space. Seventy-five feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Four park models and resort-style vacation rentals round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The property was formerly Compass RV Resort. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a fitness center, clubhouse, walking trails, a lake, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing, swimming, corn hole, picnicking, and planned activities round it out. Pets are welcome. The resort sits off State Road 207 near I-95, which makes the drive into town straightforward. St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied European-established city in the United States, and the historic district, Castillo de San Marcos, and the beaches are all close. Spring and the winter snowbird months drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Dreamin' 'n' Driftin' RV Resort

Dreamin' 'n' Driftin' RV Resort in Lake City, Florida, is a brand-new facility on 35 acres in Columbia County — a full-hookup pull-through campground with modern resort amenities at the I-10 and I-75 interchange that positions guests at the gateway to north-central Florida's extraordinary spring and river recreation corridor. Lake City's crossroads location between the Suwannee River, the Ichetucknee River, and the Osceola National Forest gives guests who stop for more than a single night the freshwater spring access, tubing, and natural Florida character that the crystal-clear spring systems of the Columbia and Hamilton County landscape provide in their most accessible and most spectacular form. Spacious full-hookup pull-through sites, a swimming pool, and the comprehensive modern amenities of a brand-new resort facility give guests the complete practical base for north-central Florida spring exploration from an I-10/I-75 location that makes Lake City one of the most practically accessible campgrounds in the state for travelers on Florida's primary north-south and east-west interstate corridors. The 35-acre property's new infrastructure — roads, utilities, and site layout built to current standards — gives big-rig operators and long-term guests the facility quality that new construction provides in a region where the campground inventory's age often works against comfortable modern RV sizes. Pets are welcome. Ichetucknee Springs State Park, approximately 30 miles west of Lake City in Columbia and Suwannee Counties, protects the Ichetucknee River's nine first-magnitude springs — springs that discharge a combined 233 million gallons of 68-degree water daily through a five-mile river corridor of extraordinary clarity, aquatic vegetation, and wildlife density that is simply one of the finest natural tubing and snorkeling experiences in the United States. The park's summer tubing operation from June through Labor Day manages the river access to protect the spring ecosystem while sustaining the float experience through two-hour and full-day tube floats that reveal successive springs, wildlife, and the specific sensory quality of cold, clear spring water in a North Florida summer. The Suwannee River, winding west of Lake City toward the Gulf, is one of the iconic rivers of the American South — immortalized in Stephen Foster's "Old Folks at Home" (Florida's state song), a genuine wilderness river whose tannin-dark water through cypress and live oak bottomland gives paddlers the specific blackwater Florida character that the spring-fed rivers contrast with in the same north-central Florida landscape. Canoe and kayak travel on the Suwannee through the Big Shoals section north of White Springs — Florida's only significant whitewater — provides the most adventurous paddling in the state's otherwise flat river network. Dreamin' 'n' Driftin' RV Resort serves guests year-round in Lake City's north Florida climate, where the spring and fall seasons from March through May and September through November deliver the most comfortable outdoor recreation conditions and the summer months bring the primary Ichetucknee tubing season that drives Columbia County's most intensive visitor activity. The Osceola National Forest, northeast of Lake City, provides upland pine and cypress dome hunting and wildlife viewing access for guests extending their north Florida stay into the national forest's 157,000 acres of managed public land. Reserve sites ahead for the summer Ichetucknee tubing season and the winter snowbird period when north Florida's mild climate draws the seasonal visitor market from the northeastern and Midwestern states.

High Springs RV Resort and Campground

52 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

High Springs RV Resort and Campground in High Springs, Florida, offers 52 RV sites and seven primitive tent sites minutes from Interstate 75, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 90 feet. Six categories cover grass and paved back-ins and paved pull-throughs, with an outdoor pool and on-site dining, open all year in north-central Florida's spring country. Fifty-two sites run in grass 30-amp back-ins, grass 30/50-amp back-ins, paved 30/50-amp back-ins, paved 30-amp pull-throughs, and paved 30/50-amp pull-throughs, carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 90 feet. The grass-versus-paved distinction is useful — paved sites hold up better in Florida's wet season. Seven primitive tent sites cover simpler camping. Laundry, restrooms, showers, and WiFi handle the practical side, with on-site dining for meals. An outdoor pool anchors the on-site recreation, with a playground and walking trails across the grounds. The real draw is what surrounds the property: snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, and fishing in the spring system, with hiking and boating nearby. Pets are welcome. High Springs sits in Alachua County amid one of the highest concentrations of first-magnitude freshwater springs in the world — natural limestone vents producing millions of gallons of 68-degree water daily, creating some of the most remarkable aquatic environments in North America. Gainesville's university culture is east, the Suwannee River's cypress-shaded corridor north, and a state park is close by. The resort is open year-round. Summer spring-diving season and the mild winter months both draw steadily — reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

The Palms of Gainesville RV Resort

115 RV Sites

The Palms of Gainesville RV Resort in Florida offers 115 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout, behind a gated entrance.

One hundred fifteen sites run in back-in 30-amp, back-in 30/50-amp, and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. Three straightforward categories keep booking simple — pick your amp service and whether you want to back in. Accessible sites are available. A laundry, restrooms, showers, and a concierge handle the practical side. A concierge at an RV resort is unusual and tells you something about the service level. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a fitness center, pond, pickleball, ping pong, and swimming filling the grounds. Planned activities run through the season, and a golf course, a state park, and a national park area are nearby. Pets are welcome. The resort was formerly Santa Fe Palms RV Resort, under the same ownership and management with a new name and look. Gainesville blends small-town hospitality with the amenities of a university city — the University of Florida campus, Paynes Prairie Preserve's wild bison and horses, the Florida Museum of Natural History, and the north Florida springs corridor are all within easy reach. Fall football Saturdays and the winter snowbird months drive the heaviest demand. Reserve well ahead for home game weekends and for January through March.

The property operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The music venue is the reason this place has no direct equivalent anywhere in the country — hundreds of acres of old-growth Florida forest, a working festival ground, and a full-service campground that have coexisted for decades. Festival weekends fill the park months ahead. Check the concert calendar and reserve as early as you can.

Pine Island Campground and Marina

26 RV Sites, 2 Onsite RV/Trailers, 1 Tiny House

On the eastern shore of Lake George in Putnam County, Florida, Pine Island Campground and Marina offers the rare combination of direct lake access, a working marina, and comfortable RV accommodations on one of the most ecologically significant lakes in the St. Johns River system. Lake George—the second-largest lake in Florida—sits at the heart of a waterway network that connects springs, river channels, and wildlife refuges, and Pine Island's position on that network makes it one of the most compelling water-access RV parks in Central Florida. Whether your priorities run toward bass fishing, spring-fed swimming holes, or simply watching the morning light come across the lake, this is a campground that rewards guests who use the water. RV sites with 30 and 50-amp full hookup service are complemented by individual fire pits and picnic tables, coin-operated laundry, clean shower facilities, and a dump station centrally located for convenience. The marina operation adds a layer of capability that typical campgrounds can't offer: 20 covered boat slips, a boat ramp with easy launch access, pontoon rental, kayak rentals, and ethanol-free fuel on-site. A 22-foot Lexington pontoon is available for full-day rental—the preferred choice for guests heading to Silver Glen Springs, exploring the wildlife refuges along the lake, or seeking waterfront dining options accessible only by boat. A coffee and bait counter and camp store round out the daily convenience needs. Tiny house lakefront accommodations are available for guests who prefer to forgo the RV setup. Lake George is a landscape of exceptional ecological richness. The lake sits within the Ocala National Forest waterway system and provides access to Silver Glen Springs—one of the iconic first-magnitude springs of the Florida system—along with Alexander Springs, Juniper Springs, and the broad, tannin-dark waters of the St. Johns River itself. Manatee sightings near the springs are common in cooler months, and the lake's bird life—ospreys, bald eagles, great blue herons, and wading birds of every variety—provides constant entertainment for guests who keep binoculars on the picnic table. The broader Lake George region offers a historical depth that complements the natural setting well. The Ocala National Forest, one of the nation's oldest national forests, surrounds the waterway with hiking trails, off-road opportunities, and some of the most extensive longleaf pine restoration in the Southeast. The town of Palatka is within reasonable range for provisioning and historical exploration, and the Spring-to-Spring Trail connects multiple natural springs through the forest. Crescent City, Deland, and the St. Johns River corridor provide additional day-trip destinations for guests who want to range beyond the lake. Pine Island Campground and Marina operates year-round in the warm Central Florida climate, and each season brings distinct character. Winter is prime manatee season at the springs, spring and fall offer the best bass fishing conditions on Lake George, and summer brings the full subtropical lushness that makes Florida's freshwater corridor so distinctive. Waterfront sites and marina slips book ahead for holiday weekends and peak fishing season, so early reservations are recommended for preferred positions. Pack the fishing rods, arrange a pontoon rental, and let Lake George set the pace for a Florida water-country experience that goes well beyond the theme-park circuit.
