This was our first time staying at Hideaway Campground, and we highly recommend it! From check-in to check-out, everything was smooth, clean, and family-friendly. Campground & Amenities: The campground is well-maintained and spotless. The brand-new bathhouses are some of the nicest we’ve seen — modern, clean, and comfortable. Laundry facilities are conveniently located and in great condition. The swimming pool area is beautiful — complete with lounge chairs, regular chairs, and umbrellas, perfect for relaxing on a warm afternoon. The clubhouse is a nice touch too, giving campers a space to gather or cool off indoors. General Store & Firewood: The general store is well-stocked with camping essentials, snacks, and little extras you might have forgotten to pack. Firewood is available for $10 per bundle, and note that you’re only allowed to use firewood purchased on the property — a good policy for keeping the grounds and surrounding forest safe. Atmosphere: Hideaway is very kid-friendly, with open spaces and a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The staff couldn’t have been nicer — everyone we met was friendly and helpful. Check-in was quick and easy, and you can tell the owners take pride in keeping things running smoothly. Fishing & Wildlife: We had some good luck catching bluegill in the catch-and-release pond. There’s even a small alligator that occasionally shows up, but it kept its distance and didn’t pose any problem — just added a touch of local wildlife to the experience! Nighttime Views: At night, the view of the stars is absolutely breathtaking. With minimal light pollution, it’s a perfect spot for stargazing after the campfire dies down. Nearby Convenience: If you forget anything major, there’s a Walmart just a short drive away, which makes last-minute supply runs easy. Hideaway Campground offers a perfect blend of comfort, cleanliness, and family fun. Between the friendly staff, great amenities, and peaceful atmosphere, it’s a place we’ll definitely be returning to.

Stayed at The Hideaway RV campground while transiting through Florida. Only stayed for a couple of days, so we really didn't get to enjoy the campground amenities. PROS - Very friendly check-in experience. Escorted to the site by the campground host. - Site level enough to not need blocks to level the travel trailer. - Some of the cleanest showers and bath houses we've seen in our travels all across the Midwest and East Coast. - Very cool walkway/boardwalk to the river. - Very quiet and peaceful campground. CONS - 1/2 mile road to the campground a bit rougher than expected. - Several spots in the grassy areas contained cocklebur - type seeds that made walking the dogs more difficult than expected. Overall though, this is a great campground to relax and unwind at for a couple of days.

Tucked just a short boardwalk from the serene Suwannee River, this campground is a true gem. The staff's warm hospitality sets the tone for an exceptional stay, complemented by impeccably clean facilities and a thoughtfully designed layout. With strong 5G Wi-Fi and spotless pool and activities center, every detail enhances the experience. Conveniently located near several state parks, Old Town, and a short drive to charming Cedar Key, this campground is perfectly positioned for adventure. Thank you for an unforgettable stay! Oh yes, bring a fishing pole for the stocked lake.

Great little campground and a really friendly group of hosts! Really awesome shaded spots with big old live oaks everywhere. Great facilities if you need them. Boardwalk to the Suwanee River is really unique! Would definitely stay here again.

We spent this past weekend at the campground and prior to arriving we had no idea what to expect. It’s very easy to look online and see photos but it’s hard to know if those photos will compare to what you’re actually getting. We did arrive after hours, but we had spoke to Kathy previously who had all of our paperwork set out for us upon arrival so that we could quickly get settled in. Over the course of the weekend, we noticed that the facility was very quiet and peaceful, and that there was no chaos whatsoever. All of the residents were friendly and welcoming as well. This facility does run a couple items off the honor system so there is ice and firewood accessible at all times with a little dropbox for the money. I would recommend having cash just in case you need one of those things after hours. The general store is super cute and has pretty much everything you could think of that you would need for camping. There is a bath house and laundry room, which are both super clean. We did have a couple frog visitors in the bathroom, however that comes with the territory of camping in the middle of the woods. The pool was super clean and warm, which was wonderful after a long hot day. There is a boardwalk on the backside of the property, which leads back to the river for an adventure filled with nature and animals. During this trip, we saw a giant tortoise multiple deer and even owls. We should absolutely wonderful experience and we highly recommend this property to anyone looking to camp in the area. It is affordable all of the residence and employees are super friendly and helpful and all around. This was a great experience. We will most definitely be back.

We enjoyed this off-season visit to this RV Park. The park was not busy at all, it was exceptionally peaceful, and well maintained. All of the sites are on grass & there is an abundance of ants, so spray up. There is a wonderful, long boardwalk from the campground to the Suwanee River. We saw Cypress Knees and there we large fish jumping in the river. We will certainly stay at this park again when we are in the area.

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.

Great campground. Has great privacy. Stayed here many times and keep coming back. Good owners, staff, and really good long term campers. Short term comes and goes but ownership but ownership takes good care of them too.

We had a great stay and enjoyed the walk to the river.

This campground is pretty with a lot of oaks. It has a rustic feel being tucked away from everything but the campsites were level. I found it amazing that we did not have a problem with mosquitos or no-see-ums. We did use our pads under the levelers because it seemed sandy enough that the levelers would likely sink into the sand. The bathrooms were clean and also kept the rustic vibe going. I think the only thing we weren't wild about was the road into and around the campground caused the towed vehicle to be covered in fine white dust. Everyone was very nice and helpful.

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.

Very pretty campground, nice pond, boardwalk to the Suwannee! The staff was wonderful, helped us extend a day and helped my wife get unplugged when leaving while I was out Jeeping! Thanks to all!

4 plus stars for this Suwanee River Hideaway campground. If you want to be off the beaten path and like quiet star filled skies, this is the place. Amenities rustic and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Plenty of space to just be!

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.

Peaceful campground! Enjoyed the walking paths and boardwalk to the river. Friendly camp hosts also.
