Palms and Pines Campground & RV Park

Jennings, Florida


50 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 4 Tent Sites

Palms and Pines Campground and RV Park in Jennings, Florida, is a north Florida campground on the Hamilton County stretch of the I-75 corridor near the Georgia border — a flexible overnight and extended-stay property with spacious RV sites, tent sites, and deluxe cabins serving solo travelers, families, and long-term guests who use the north Florida gateway location for both I-75 through travel and as a base for exploring the Suwannee River watershed's extraordinary spring and blackwater river system that makes Hamilton County one of the most naturally rich counties in Florida's first-class natural areas landscape. The campground's north Florida position just south of the Georgia line gives snowbirds and Florida-bound travelers the first opportunity for a genuine Florida camping experience after crossing the state line. Spacious RV sites with hookups, tent sites, and deluxe cabins give the campground the accommodation range for both quick I-75 overnights and multi-day stays for guests exploring the Suwannee River and its spring tributaries. The welcoming atmosphere and the pet-friendly policy create the hospitable north Florida campground environment that extended-stay guests specifically need for the weeks or months of winter residence that the mild north Florida climate and the campground's comfortable infrastructure support. Pets are welcome. The Suwannee River, made famous by Stephen Foster's 1851 composition "Old Folks at Home" (Florida's state song), flows through Hamilton County in a blackwater river channel through cypress and live oak bottomland that is one of the most scenic and most ecologically intact river systems in the southeastern United States. The Suwannee River State Park near Live Oak, 30 miles south of Jennings, provides the first major public land access on the river downstream of the Georgia line — a park at the confluence of the Suwannee and the Withlacoochee River (north) where the meeting of two iconic Florida rivers creates one of the most significant natural landmarks on either system. White Springs, 20 miles south of Jennings on the Suwannee River, is the site of the Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, Florida's premier folk and heritage park — an institution that preserves the Foster legacy, the Suwannee River's cultural and natural history, and the Florida Folk Festival, one of the oldest and most attended folk music festivals in the southeastern United States, held annually in late May on the park's riverside grounds. The park's carillon tower plays Foster compositions across the Suwannee River bottomland on the hour throughout the day, sustaining the sentimental association between the river and the song that Foster himself never saw, having written the composition about a river he learned of in a geography book. Palms and Pines Campground and RV Park serves guests year-round in Hamilton County's mild north Florida climate, where the moderate winters from November through March attract the snowbird market from the northeastern and Midwestern states and the spring and fall seasons provide the most comfortable outdoor conditions for Suwannee River canoeing, fishing, and the natural Florida landscape that the Hamilton County area sustains in a relatively undeveloped form. The Big Shoals Public Lands north of White Springs protect Florida's only significant whitewater on the Suwannee River — the Big Shoals rapids in a section of the river accessible by paddleboat and kayak that provides the only whitewater experience in Florida's otherwise flat river network. Reserve sites ahead for spring break and the winter snowbird season when the I-75 north Florida campground market fills from southbound seasonal travelers.
