Charlie's Suwannee River Home

NOTICE: Some hosts go far beyond parking in a driveway and a 15 amp drop cord. I am not one of those. I ask a $5.00 per night donation to cover my out-of-pocket costs for electricity and other costs. My 2 RV sites are located across the access road from my home and the Suwannee River. My sites are FULL hookup, quiet, fenced, shaded and private. River access can be had through host's yard. A free county boat launching ramp is approximately 1/8th mile away while other free ramps are plentiful along the river. Rock Bluff General store is within easy walking distance (gas, drink and some food supplies). Sun Stop Grocery Store, Dollar General and Family Dollar stores are located 4 miles distance in Bell. Walmart is qin Chiefland. Gainesville with its many hospitals, doctor's offices, stores, etc. is q45 miles. Palm Medical Clinic in Bell, 4 miles. Several buffets and restaurants in area (List available from host). I also include an area information handout of area places, stores and recreation places. RVs greater than 28ft must back in a short distance through the gate due to the location of the septic tank, drain field and trees. German Shepards Dobermans, rotwilers, pit bulls, etc. are limited to one dog and MUST NOT show aggression toward humans or other dogs. Firewood is free and generally available at the fire pit. WIFI is not available. Rock Bluff General Store has earth worms for guests wanting to exercise their fishing skills. A fresh water fishing license may be purchased at the Courthouse in Trenton during week days or in Chiefland at Walmart. Suggested local attractions and several state parks are located within easy driving distance. One near by park has a very clear water for tubing it’s 72 degree year round water. , Canoes and kayaks and pontoon boats are available for and used on both the nearby Santa Fe and Suwannee Rivers. Gainesville, FL is about 38 miles northeast with all of its shopping, medical facilities, University of Florida and attractions. Recently Rock Bluff Springs Park opened June 2019 within easy walking distance of my RV sites. The spring water is clear and an excellent swimming location with flowing water 72 degrees year round. During summer months when river is low watch gulf sturgeons jump that range from 10 to 200 pounds. They are harmless fish but approximately 10 people a year get injured due to running in to them in their fast moving boats and PWCs. while they are still airborne. Rock Bluff area is their prime jumping area. They come up river from the Gulf of Mexico during the spring and summer months to spawn. During summer months, guests may swim in the river though host prefers they check with him prior to doing so for a river swimming briefing. Unlike lakes and pools, rivers and oceans do have currents that can be dangerous to beginner swimmers and those who have never swam in rivers or oceans before.
