Comfortable campground adjoining the Suwanee River (which has the only Class 3 rapids in FL -- river is very low right now), and gracious, attentive campground hosts. All the rangers were great, and restrooms/bathhouse were very clean as well as all sites. Highly recommend this campground, especially when there are events going on in the park. Quiet and nicely situated sites too.  |
Thanks for mentioning the Stephen Foster … State Park. DW and I were there too many years ago for one of their annual (every Memorial Day) Folk Festivals and enjoyed every minute of it. DW likes to quilt, and they have some quilting events there also. Perhaps we might see some of you all there come next Memorial Day?
