Take a paddling trip on the historic Suwannee River and make memories that will last a lifetime. Enjoy the serenity of the river, then end your paddle in comfort at one of our five river camps. The Suwannee River Wilderness Trail is a system of hubs, parks and river camps along the river that provide amenities and sleepover options to trail users.

Five river camps — Woods Ferry, Holton Creek, Dowling Park, Peacock Slough and Adams Tract — are nestled along the riverbank to provide overnight accommodations.

The river camps are intended to be used by paddlers on the Suwannee River or through-hikers on the Florida Trail. To maintain the wilderness experience, drive-in camping is not available. Many private, state and county locations are also available for overnight stays or restocking supplies. Call us with questions or contact one of the local outfitters, who are experts on river conditions and accommodations.

The Suwannee River is dynamic, and every visit will be unique. River and weather conditions can change overnight. As your visit approaches, keep an eye on the weather forecast and check river conditions with the live river level readings.

Regardless of how you choose to enjoy your time in the great outdoors, come join us for a taste of the Real Florida.
