Exploring Suwannee River Campground Locations

By Elsa English


There is a place in Northern Florida where both people connect. This is at the Suwannee River Campground located near the town of Live Oak. It is an area which has a great deal to offer camping, fishing and music enthusiasts.

While mostly focused on camping and entertainment, the area is also historic. Most of the longstanding mounds of destroyed earth have been in the area since the Civil War when it was used as a bunk against enemy weapons. It is also easy to discover other aspects of the past on the many different hiking trails found in the park.

If looking for activities at a local game room, golf course or swimming pool, then the Music Park may be a better option. Whereas, when looking to hike different trails, the State park may be a better choice. The parks are also close enough that individuals can enjoy both on a single visit regardless as to the location of a base camp.

Music lovers should note that during festivals, the Music Park and Campground is often sold out with tickets only available from the music promoter. Whereas, the State park is often open and available throughout the year. Weather in the area is often beautiful year round though there can be periods of heavy rain, especially during hurricane season.

At most campgrounds, individuals are going to find everything necessary for a great night's lodging. This includes cabins, ample tent space and RV parking areas with hookups, rest rooms, and showers. There may also be campgrounds in the area which are more primitive for those who are a bit more daring, or just prefer a rougher camping experience.

Several music festivals occur at the Suwanee River Music Park and Campground each year. This park is a one-of-a-kind music park and premier campground on the banks of the Suwanee River. Visitors to the area may also want to note that this park offers live music during the week at the Music Hall as well as an amphitheater in addition to the many annual events which take place at the park.

Families traveling with small children are most often going to want to stay near a swimming pool, playground and other activities for children. As use of the campground equipment is often based on staying at the location, those with children may want to consider staying at a local KOA, the Music Park or other campground with equipment for children. Whereas, older individuals, hikers, youth groups, etc. May want to consider the campground at the State park. The State park offers a number of self-guided and guided hikes and is a great place for solo travelers, couples, families and youth groups to learn more about nature.

A good way to determine the best places to stay whether visiting the area for the first time, or a return visit, is to research any lodging of interest online before making a reservation. Visiting other locations while spending time in the area can provide insight as to whether to return to the same campground, or if another may be more convenient.
