Hello ,
I will be looking to tent camp and also in need of electric and water. Are the tent sites private? The last place I stayed , I felt like I was sharing the site with others.
You can choose how deep in the woods you want to camp, so you can be as close to or far from the building (and others) as you wish. We just ask that you come before dark to set up.
As for water and electric, you can charge your electronic devices for free by the building, and we also have a complimentary bathroom and shower. If this is not enough, you can camp closer to the building for water access and we can drag you a cord for an additional $5 a night.
Do you have any available sites fo 25,26 of November for a popup
yes, call 3523721026
thank you
My wife and I are planning on camping with truck tent Wednesday and Thursday of this week . We would like to rent a small boat and do some lazy fishing . Is this possible ? If so what kind of fish can we catch there this time of year ? Thanks Greg .
Thursday night we have booked a party of 100 UF students
Is there parking near tent camping? If not, how far would I have to haul all my stuff from the parking lot to the tent? Thanks!
We have several areas to choose from depending on how you prefer to camp. We have spots closer to the bathroom/parking lot, all the way to deep into the woods/near Newnan’s Lake. You decide where to set up.
Looking for a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday site for Jan 13-16. I need a place not too far from showers/restroom, and preferably not in high traffic as we have young children.
no problem for tent camping,
Do you have a electric / water / site available on April 13-16 pop up?
yes but only 110 electricity
Hi,
We are up in Jacksonville and plan on coming down this weekend to tent camp. We plan on staying Saturday the 14th and Sunday the 15th if available. I would like to reserve a spot off of the foot traffic path, but not too far from the restroom, if possible. It will be just me and my young daughter. I would like to have a power cord to the site if possible. We are also interested in renting a canoe for a half day as well. That saves us the hassle of loading ours onto the SUV. We are really looking forward to experiencing a new place.
We have booked a party for Saturday night, I am sorry if this is an inconvenience. Call me please 352 372 1026
Hi there! We would be interested in camping for two nights with ya’ll, Feb 3rd-5th. Tent camping with two well behaved dogs. Do you have availabilityRe?
sure we do. band your dogs are ok too. just try to get here before dark.
Hi! I would like to reserve 1 tent spot (with electricity) for 3 people for the weekend of March 3rd – March 5th. A riverside spot, if available, would be awesome! Do you have any availability? Thanks! Maggie
That is fine, but the electricity is $5 extra for tent campers and it is provided via an extension cord so you must be reasonably close to the building (water spots are farther away.) We offer free electricity for charging devices by the building, however.
OK, great! I think having a site by the water is more important than electricity! 🙂 Can you reserve a spot for me or is it easier to call and reserve? Thanks!
You don’t need to reserve a tent site.
Thank You!
Really miss you guys. Many a great time on the water and visiting with you. climate change reaches up here. perma frost melting in many areas. need to be carefull where you land, or plane gets stuck in mud. Fun watching the drunken moose near the dump and bears rummaging thru the trash. Take care Bill W
How have you been? It is good to hear from you.
Would you do monthly rentals for a rv?
We don’t have the sewage hook up, we are in a conservation area and are not allowed.
Does a teardrop trailer pulled by a MINI Cooper count as a pop-up?
sure
Hello there, I hope I’m reaching Kate’s fish camp. My husband and I are planning on arriving there on April 26th and staying until May 4th in a tent, do y’all have a spot available?
We have plenty of room for tent camping, we only ask that you get here before dark and when you leave be sure the property looks like it did when you came.
how close are your campsites? is it possible to get something secluded, or are you right next to other people?
We have a very large area for tent campers to choose from. We have a grassy area near the building which is close to the bathroom/shower/wi-fi/electricity, we have a woody area that has access to the waterway/campfire pits, and we have a more secluded densely wooded area. Typically we only fill up during holidays or major events like Gator Nationals, so even if you don’t camp in the dense woods, you won’t have to look far to find a secluded location.
Great! do you have any spaces still available for this weekend? and you say in the woody area there is access to waterways/fire pits. can you have a fire at each campsite, or is it just a large communal fire pit?
Hello,
I am currently out of the country or else I would just call! But I am wondering whether it would be possible to camp with you for a two week period in July…say the 18th to the 31st?
Thanks,
Emily
sounds good

Hi, my name is Matt Thomas. I would like to book a tent campsite for Saturday September 16th. Please let me know if you can accommodate this. Thank you!
We are completely flooded from hurricane irma at the moment and are unable to accommodate any sort of camping.
Do you have an available campsite for use from sept 17 to sept 21st?
Hi there! Are the campsites still flooded?
Thanks!
It will be at least 3 weeks before the ground might be dry enough.
Do you have tent ⛺ sites available for the 9th and 10th of March?
Yes we do! Give us a call to reserve a specific spot if you have one in mind!
Hi, we’re looking for somewhere to go on Memorial Day weekend with our small 15′ A-frame camper. Normal 15 amp electrical via extension cord is no problem. How is it there over that weekend usually? I know most places get kinda party-ish. I just don’t like to be packed tight with other people camping.
We should have plenty of space! You can always call and make a reservation for free.
I was wondering… is it $9 per night per primitive camper and only $20 per night for a pop up? How many people can be in the pop up site. Also, are there any primitive sites near the pop up sites?
Yes, $9 per person primitively camping. Pop-up campers are $20 and after 4 people it’s $5 per extra person. There’s tons of space for tent camping and pop-ups to coexist neatly next to each other!
We are thinking of coming RV camping June 22 & June 23 with our 28′ pull behind camper. Some questions we have:
1. Are all campsites dry now?
2. How’s the bugs this time of year?
3. Can we have a fire in a fire ring at our site?
4. Do you have john boats or other small boat available for rent?
5. Are pets allowed in rental boats?
6. Do you have a map of your campsite layout?
7. Where can we fish?
Sorry for all the questions. :-]
1. Are all campsites dry now?
It is raining now but the puddles dry up fast.
2. How’s the bugs this time of year?
They haven’t been bad at all this year.
3. Can we have a fire in a fire ring at our site?
yes
4. Do you have john boats or other small boats available for rent?
Boats, canoes, and kayaks, no motors,
5. Are pets allowed in rental boats?
You get 1/2 price rentals when you camp here.
6. Do you have a map of your campsite layout?
No, but you can do a GOOGLE image search for “kates fish camp” and there are loads of pictures. You can also find out most of this by reading the comments.
7. Where can we fish?
Most anywhere except by the rental boats.
Will you have a 30 amp (class C ) site for the 19 July 2018
Hello, Michael, We do have a spot for you! come on down.
Hi Question, I have a friend who lives in Williston. Her 7 month old son just finished his bone marrow transplant and treatment at Shands. They have to stay within a certain amount of miles from the hospital and Williston is too far. She has a pull behind camper that she is looking to park and stay in until the hospital clears them to go all the way home. Would this be something she could pay for a small spot with your camp? We have been searching campgrounds but all we can seem to find are places with mobile homes and not like an RV spot or Camper spot to rent and if so, what would that cost?
Hello Julia,
I am happy to help, we can offer her a spot with electric, water for $ 120 a week.
We offer a bathroom and shower, wi-fi, and are less than 10 minutes from Shands, one of the Best in the country!

No problem. We have completely secluded spots too.
For primitive tent camping is there any chance you can have a car next to the site? If not how far?
you can park at most sights
Do you have spots left for the weekend of October 20 2018 only primitive camping I’m only bringing my car
no problem
Hi, a few questions.
For primitive tent camping is it $9 per person and we bring our own tent (aka we are just paying for a spot on your land)?
Is the bathroom close to the camping sites and are there showers or just toilets?
Can we park next to our camping site?
Can we bring our own grill?
Are there trails to hike?
Thank you!
Thanks for your interest Alexa, You can camp near the shower and restroom and office, but there is so much more land to explore for a real camping experience. Most of our sites are accessible by car and you can park by your site. Bring what you like except your dog, we don’t allow dogs in tents. Oh, and yes we have trails, We have a paved bike, and many hiking, and a 7-mile canoe trail. So bring your toys, build a campfire and have a great time, its mandatory.
Thanks so much, hope to go soon! No reservations needed correct?
Do you have to pay the extra $10.00 a person over two people if the others are children? I only have one adult and 4 children ages 10, 6, 4, and 11 months.
Children 6 and under are free
Okay, thank you!
I called your facility on the 3rd and was told the camping sites were too muddy. Is this still a problem or can I book? Please let me know!

Hi, what do you charge for an RV spot for a year? Or 6 months even?

No, most of our tent sites are primitive and secluded.
Hello, I’m wanting to take my kids camping. How much would it be for a primitive site with 1 tent (a small 3 person tent) for 1 adult and 2 kids? Also, how much would that be if we got a site with electric and water?
