Most recently we spent a few days on site 15. Date of visit: Feb 2009 |
 |
In Feb 2008, we were on site 13, a very pleasant site facing the open grassy area at the campground entrance. |
 |
On our first visit in 2006 we arrived without a reservation, and were lucky to get a large, private site, 12. It offered a nice mix of sun and shade, and I had no problem getting the satellite dish aimed. |
 |
In the cool of the winter months we prefer sites that offer some sunshine to enjoy. One of those sunny sites is #6. |
 |
Another nice open site is #21, a pull-through. |
 |
Site 20 is yet another option for the sun-seekers. |
 |
But overall, these three sites, 15,14, and 13 are my favorite. They're out in the open, yet widely-spaced . |
 |
Sites here are designed for any size rig. A good number are pull-throughs, while the back-in sites are easy to access as well. |
 |
This shows
both a back-in site and a pull-through. As you can see, there's a
good balance of sun and shade. |
 |
One of two
modern bathhouses serving the CG. Each offers a washer and dryer,
as well as hot showers. Although not heated, there is an infra-red lamp above the dressing area of each shower stall which provides some welcome heat in chilly weather. |
 |
Large old
live oak trees present a delightful setting for camping. The campground
road is paved and sites are hard-packed gravel. |
 |
A recent
addition to the park are five new cabins, located on the bank of the
Suwannee River. |
 |
The centerpiece
of the park is the Stephen Foster Museum, which depicts the life and
songs of the artist. The park is also home to a number of folk music
activities, including the Florida
Folk Festival over Memorial Day weekend. A free Coffee House-style concert is offered
on the first Saturday of each month. |
 |
The Carillon
Tower is home to the world's largest tubular bell instrument, built
in 1957. In addition to chiming the time, the carillon also rings
out Foster songs at scheduled times through the day. |
 |
The Suwannee
River offer some wonderful canoeing and kayaking. |
|
|
Near the park Entrance is the Spring House. Folks flocked to White Sulphur Springs all through the first half of the 20th century to "take the water."
