ABSOLUTELY LOVE this campground. Our student goes to UF and this is so convenient to campus and we do t have to pay the outrageous hotel fees. This campground is meticulously maintained and the staff are SO sweet. The pool area is nice, the huge tvs are a bonus, and the facilities are gorgeous. Wi-Fi strength has a good with extenders on a lot of the light poles. I also feel safe because they have cameras EVERYWHERE! Spaces are a tad close but I also prefer more outdoorsy campgrounds. I love the benches and how they convert but sadly the last 2 times we stayed my neighbor took mine. No big deal tho, just rude neighbors. Don't feel they you can bring your own fire pit! My gator wanted to do some last minute shopping on our checkout day and they were kind enough to give us a 2pm departure. I have my 2 favorite spots and can't wait to get back there again soon!!

We had a nice stay at Santa Fe Palms resort for our annual fall meetup group with Central FL Grand Design Owners. We didn't have any issues with our campsite or neighbors. Majority of the people left Sunday and we stayed until Monday for a total of 3 nights. We already booked our April site and November site for next year. Until next time.

Paved, level pads for RV and patio furniture.

Very pleasant and well kept park with easy access to shopping, the university, and UF medical facilities. The staff is friendly and responsive.

The folks residing here are friendly & tend to watch out for one another, which is reassuring. Located on Lake Rousseau, where the fishing is plentiful. They have a small bathhouse (1 shower) & a nice laundry (3 washers @ $1.75/3 dryers at $1 per load). There's no cable & OTA is unreliable, but the wifi is excellent. TV channels are not consistent, but I really haven't missed watching it very much. Although I do watch a few channels occasionally, it's given me a great opportunity to catch up on some reading. Speaking of reading, there is a book exchange area in the laundry. These folks also own Big Bass Village RV down the road, so you can't always catch someone in the office, but the manager (Suzie) got back with me very quickly when I emailed her from the address on the website. I think the owners are really working hard to make this a beautiful place. It has great potential, it's VERY reasonably priced (lower than anyone else in the area), & are quick to answer questions or suggest sights/views/restaurants. I'm really glad that this was the RV park we chose for our stay in this pretty part of Florida.

What a nice group of people! We weren't planning to stay in Lake City.... just passing thru !!…read more But when RV problems popped up and we were directed to Rush Truck Service for repairs. Luckily, Casey Jones RV Park was just down the street. I called late Monday afternoon, spoke to Rose, who was so friendly and accommodating. Explained the RV repair situation and that we didn't know if our stay was going to be 1,2 or 3 nights. She said.."no problem". I asked for 2 nights, not knowing what the future held. They were very flexible & accommodating. Day 3.... AM..... . yeaaaa, RV was fixed. I gave my many "thank you's" and said goodbye. We were checking out !! Well, we got about 4 miles down the road.... engine alerts came back on and we turned the Coach around and headed back to repair shop. I called back to Casey Jones RV and asked for a 3rd night. Again, they said "no problem... and said that they even saved my same spot for us". . Almost like they knew we'd be back !! Now on Day 4.... RV fixed and we got on our way to continue our trip. Besides being very close to the Truck Service Center....... This park is nice, quiet and easy in & out for our 43 ft Coach. Reasonable overnight prices as well. YES..... I would stay here again & recommend to others.

Super friendly and nice. Really enjoyed how quiet and peaceful it was. Very clean bathrooms. Highly…read morerecommend.

FYI- Monica,...not "Kate", is the current "proprietress", chuckling as folks tend to still address her as "Kate". Being Nature Lovers ourselves, we fully acknowledge the rationale for not having an on-site dump station, with such close proximity to natural waterways, and such. This information is freely shared when calling or upon arrival with the additional info provided of access to dump station at local Love's Travel Center in Hawthorne. Knowing this, arrive with empty tanks in your camper unit, to give you peace of mind & extra time. The water provided is great; Wifi Access -Kudos!; and the shower facility offers a wonderful, strong, steamy, hot-water flow with the added treat of seeing the moon & night sky above! The shower area and bathroom were always kept clean, well-stocked, and well-lit for evening visits. Our stay also followed the passes of both Helene & Milton...so things may have been looking a little rough... It was truly a pleasant surprise to have such easy access to the paved Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail, of which we made frequent use for biking; hiking; and all-around wild-life strolling....while greeting local fisherman along the way. Lots & Lots of wildlife!!...Actually saw 21 wild turkeys one morning, that came out of hiding right after Thanksgiving passed!! The entrance from the main road may be a bit bumpy from the pavement change, and possible weather impact, just be alert & as always,.. take your time. There are traffic sounds heard, due to easy access to & from the campground,...however, it served as white-noise during those times when we were inside the RV. The benefit of having a taste of "Old-Time" Florida with such ease of access to Restaurants; Services; Healthcare; Parks/preserves; Entertainment/Sports/Art venues; & shopping , pretty much gives the best of both worlds. Be sure to take a stroll to the Campsite Office be fore you depart & treat yourself by picking out one ( or more) of the many hand-made soaps; lotions; balms; shampoos; & "Swamp Juice" that Monica creates!....Don't forget to pick up a few extras for gifting those worthy friends & family members!!

Kate's Fish Camp - Kate's was Kelly's saw mill in the 1800's. This is a picture of a turpentine harvest, cat faces are found all through the River Styx.
