ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND SERENE This campground is positioned on the eastern end of the Chassahowitzka River. Here you will discover spectacular scenery, clear freshwater springs, wildlife and some of the best kayaking in Florida. The campground hosts RV’s with full hookups and a separate area for primitive tent camping. Since the weather was cooler, we stayed at the tent camping area, and found it quiet and restful with no problems at all. Potable water is available near each site. The restrooms and bathhouse is a reasonable short walk and located in the RV section. As you can tell from my photos the campground is dog friendly. The campground hosts a place to launch boats and kayaks. Kayaks are also available for rent. We have brought our own kayaks in the past and have enjoyed the Seven Sister Springs, the Chassahowitzka River, and the Crack Springs located shortly off the river on Baird Creek. The Chassahowitzka River is absolutely astonishing in it beauty and serenity. It meanders through tributaries and coastal swamps many miles to Homosassa Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. On this visit we took time to enjoy the camping area and spent some relaxing time in the boat launch area enjoying the scenery and having interesting conversations with locals and those from afar who found this hidden gem.

Only rented kayaks. This place is so close to some great spots and had a ton of manatees right out in front. Gave us great recommendations for our two hour time frame, and how to spot the difficult to find entrance to the crack. It was the most amazing place to kayak ever. Prices were great and had plenty for us even though we didn’t reserve. The kayaks were comfy and in very good condition. The river was really low due to extremely low tide but it was fun walking back to the crack, could float most of it.

Great spot. My only feedback would be to do some work on the women’s room shower drains. Standing water with other people’s hair. Gross. Husband said men’s room was great. No issues there. The campsites are wonderful for our van. Water/dock access dreamy. Endless paddling, fishing, snorkeling right from camp. Boat /paddle board lockers at the dock to store your own vessel while there so you don’t have to haul it up to camp every day! Genius! Camp staff super sweet! If you use the docks or rent equipment, don’t forget to tip the boat gettin’ staff!!
