Camp REJO!CE Suwannee River is 15 acres of primitive forest, wetlands and 500 feet of riverfront. Owners Micheal and April Patterson (servants of Christ Alone) are providing a safe, family, faith-based environment away from the hussle-bussle of city life. Disconnect and feel God's awesome presence! Enjoy primitive camping, fishing (license required), paddling, swimming, exploring, nature watching, lounging in your hammock on the river or by a fire. There is even an optional Bible study held every Saturday right on the river!
"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say, rejoice!" -Philippians 4:4
History of the Suwannee River:
The Suwannee River is a wild blackwater river that rises int he Okeefenokee Swamp of South Georgia and meanders more than 238 miles southward through mostly rural Florida farmlands and conservation areas.
Florida accounts for 206 of those miles. White Springs is near the headwaters.
The flow of the Suwannee River is replenished along its way by numerous freshwater springs. The river's mouth is just south of the fishing village of Suwanee on the Gulf of Mexico.
It is considered to be part of Florida's "Nature Coast" aka "real Florida". An area in Florida consisting of 8 counties with almost a million acres of land.
The river has been part of Florida's history since the early days and was the location of Florida's first tourist attraction, White Springs, in the 1830s.
