Suwannee River Hideaway Campground

Cindy Bahl

This campground is a hidden gem, not far off I-75 and worth the stop. The RV sites are spacious with full hook-ups available. It is so peaceful, relaxing and beautiful with the pond and Suwannee River to explore. The boardwalk to the River rivals Congaree National Park as you walk above the cypress-filled swamp and enjoy the flora and fauna. There is wildlife such as owls and deer, plus much more. The facilities are clean and in the process of more improvements by the new owners. We would definitely stay here again and for a longer stay to explore more.

We stayed at The Hideaway in February 2025 for a 3 day weekend. Other reviewers have called it a hidden gem which perfectly describes it. The Hideaway is one of the most peaceful, relaxing campgrounds we have ever stayed at. The 1500' boardwalk down to the river is truly a walk with nature. For those not wanting to fish in the river they have a catch & release pond. We did not use the bath/showers but they appear to be very clean and well appointed, and they have a very nice pool with a great clubhouse. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the interaction we had with the new owners was very enjoyable. A couple of the evenings we had dinner at very good restaurants nearby, returned to the campsite and had a relaxing night around the campfire with friends. We are glad we found this campground and will definitely be returning. We highly recommend The Hideaway.

The Hideaway features RV and tent camping along with bathouse and other accommodations. The grounds has a small patch dedicated to dog walking even though they can tour the grounds on a leash. The boardwalk seems a bit sketchy with some loose boards and a little swaying. It juts out to the Suawanee River and has a small area for picnicking/rest. The dock looks like a great place to fish. The Hideaway's pond allows catch and release but I'm not sure about the river. The RV sites include everything; power, water, and sewer but the sites are very close together. The "W" sites are along the pond. There are picnic tables and fire rings/pits at all sites but you must bring or purchase wood for burning. The entire grounds is built out and offers little for privacy even for tent campers. It's a very quiet and quaint retreat with not a lot to do here but relax.

5 Stars – An Exceptional Stay at Suwannee River Hideaway Campground! We recently spent an extended Thanksgiving weekend at Suwannee River Hideaway Campground in Old Town, FL, and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We stayed at site W1, right by the lake—our favorite spot from a previous visit last year. The location is idyllic, and the ability to walk down the scenic boardwalk to the river added so much to the charm of our stay. The campground is now under new ownership, and the improvements are impressive! From the enhanced bath house—spotlessly clean with perfectly hot showers—to the well-maintained grounds, it’s clear that the owners take great pride in providing a top-notch camping experience. Our site had full hookups, which made our stay even more comfortable. The pool was clean and well maintained, but too cold to enjoy in December (for us). One of the unique aspects of this campground is its designation as an owl sanctuary. At night, the owls treated us to a mesmerizing vocal performance, their hooting adding a magical touch to the tranquil atmosphere. The pet-friendly policies are a huge plus, too!! . The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring everything was well-organized and enjoyable. Between the peaceful riverside setting, the abundant wildlife, and the thoughtful amenities, we are thrilled with the direction the new owners are taking and look forward to seeing what’s in store for the future of this gem. Highly recommend Suwannee River Hideaway Campground for anyone looking for a serene, clean, and well-run camping experience. We can’t wait to return!

We did the tent camping area. It wss a few weeks after the hurricane. The grounds were not ready. Brush and tree debris everywhere. It was a mess and not ready to be rented. The clubhouse was very nice. The boathouse was dated and not clean. The pool was unavailable. Laundry facilities were poor and dirty. There were two possum carcasses at our site when we arrived. I had to get my shovel out to remove them.if they had waited until the grounds were cleaned up to rent sites, then it would have been a better stay. On the plus side, no one hassled us. The office was never open. The host did not answer the phone.
