Family Campsites and Cabins
Parks are open 365 days a year from 8 a.m. to sunset. Family campsites and cabins may be rented on a first come, first served basis by walk-in visitors, or may be reserved from 1 day to 11 months in advance by calling the phone number above from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. Reservations may also be made online at http://www.reserveamerica.com. Reservations are made on a pay-in-advance basis. Same day reservations are not made. Campsites may be reserved for stays of 1 to 14 nights. Cabins are reservable for 1 night during the week, Monday – Thursday, or a minimum of two nights on weekends and holidays, Friday and Saturday, departing Sunday, or Saturday and Sunday, departing Monday. Topsail Hill Preserve bungalows have a 7-night minimum. Suwannee River Wilderness Trail state parks with cabins will rent them for one night on weekends. These are Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, Suwannee River State Park and Fanning Springs State Park. All campsites or cabins not already occupied or having a prior reservation may be rented by walk-in visitors.

Reservations Cancellations
Visitors may cancel family campsite and cabin reservations up to the day of arrival for a $10 fee by calling the ReserveAmerica call center, (800) 326-3521, by calling the ReserveAmerica visitor service line, (888) 622-9190, or by going online at http://www.reserveamerica.com. Visitors canceling on the day of arrival will be assessed the first night’s use fee in addition to the $10 cancel fee. After the day of arrival, visitors calling ReserveAmerica will be directed to call the park to make arrangements for arriving late or to obtain a refund. Visitors will receive a prorated refund less the $10.00 cancellation fee when canceling after the day of arrival.

Reservations Changes
Date or site changes to family campsite or cabins reservations may be made up to one day before the day of arrival by calling the reservations call center at (800) 326-3521 or the visitor service line at (888) 622-9190. A fee of $8.50 will be charged for making a change. Once visitors have arrived at the park and are registered, the park may make date and site changes on the local reservations computer without charging cancellation or change fees, depending on availability.

No Shows
To make available reserved but unoccupied campsites and cabins, a reservation will be held until check-out time one day after the scheduled arrival date. If the park or ReserveAmerica is not called before that time, the reservation will be considered a "no show," and the remainder of the reservation will be cancelled. The amount refunded will be the amount paid for the campsite or cabin reservation, less the one night's fee.

Family campsite pricing varies from $12 to $38 a night depending on the park. Cabins vary from $25 to $120 a night. A 50% discount on base campsite fees is available to Florida citizens who are 65 years of age, or, Florida citizens who are 100% disabled. Documentation will be requested on arrival. Discounts do not apply to cabins stays. The family camping fee includes the use of park facilities such as boat ramps and playgrounds but does not include tour, attraction or museum fees.
