R.V. DUMP STATION for guests! . ALL THREE sites now have large pull-through circular driveways! . "SWEET TUPELO" is a magical 12-acre RIVERFRONT property offering 3 riverfront R.V. sites, spaced 150 feet apart from each other. We're directly on the Apalachicola River, approximately 15 minutes south of Bristol, Florida. These campsites have so much to offer with sweeping water views on a wide bend of the river! The campsites feature: . 1. Waterfront R.V. camping sites spaced far enough from another camper for your enjoyment, (150 feet apart from each other with Site 1 and Site 3 having woods on one side). 2. Picnic table at EACH SITE. 3. Swivel-top charcoal grill at EACH SITE. 4. Fire Pit with wood Adirondack Chairs AT EACH SITE. 5. EACH SITE has a 30-amp and 50-amp hookup, plus 110v electric outlets, along with two city drinking water spigots, (bring your own RV electric cord and RV drinking water hose). 6. Room for boat parking 7. County-owned boat ramp, playground, restrooms, just 300 YARDS AWAY! 8. R.V. size limit recommendations: Site 1 up to 50', Site 2 up to 40', Site 3 up to 40'. . (For best results to see ALL features of our listing, including dates/availability of ALL 3 campsites, view our Hipcamp listing on a laptop rather than your mobile phone) . Our three "SWEET TUPELO" R.V. campsites are located on 12 riverfront acres in the northern Panhandle of Florida on the historic Apalachicola River. The name “Sweet Tupelo” is taken from the Tupelo tree that grows exclusively in the floodplains and sloughs along the Apalachicola River. Local bees make their honey with the pollen of these trees creating many unique health and taste benefits found only in this part of the world. When you venture back into civilization, make sure you pick up a jar of Tupelo honey. You won’t be disappointed! . "Sweet Tupelo" is located roughly halfway between Apalachicola and Chattahoochee, at the river's mile marker 60. This river is Florida's LARGEST by volume of water, stretching 103 miles from the FL/GA border in Chattahoochee to the historic fishing village of Apalachicola on the Gulf coast. . WE DO NOT OFFER RESTROOMS - You would use your RV bathroom and our RV Dump Station. . Quiet and respectful campers only! No loud parties allowed.

I loved this camping spot in Bristol, Florida. I stayed in site 3 which was huge! I had an amazing view of the river. They had full electric which is important in Florida in the spring and summer. I really loved all the extra touches, like bees on the signs and climbing bush planted at my spot. It was all well thought out. The bird songs that morning make me smile.

We thoroughly enjoyed our return trip to Sweet Tupelo! We have had the pleasure of staying at Site 1 and Site 3 - Site 3 is our new favorite spot! Spacious, well kept, beautiful views, quiet and peaceful camping. The grandchildren really enjoyed their hammock time and playing at the nearby park! It was a wonderful extended weekend getaway and Glenn is a top notch, very accommodating host! Looking forward to our next stay very soon!

By far one of the best camp spots in the world! We LOVE coming to Sweet Tupelo, it’s always pristine and so well cared for. We’ve now stayed in all 3 spots offered and you can’t beat them. We try to get here at least a couple of time a year, wish it was more often… Can’t wait for our next visit to this outstanding HipCamp!

We loved our stay! It was so quaint and relaxing. We stayed in a tent and it was a perfect place for it. The river was beautiful and quiet. The view from the site is amazing. We brought our 2 dogs and they also had a great time! I loved the amount of furniture that was there, definitely enough room for a big group if you choose. Water and power super conveniently close as well! We only traveled about an hour to stay so we will definitely be back!!

Beautiful campground with great views. Lots of room and our dogs were very happy there too. A bit tricky to get out for us. The ground was a bit soft from the rain. Huge fire pit with great seating and tables.

The 3 sites are spacious, and immediately inviting. Each site has a variety of tables and benches, Adirondack chairs and fire pit that beg for good conversation, games, and fun. The grounds are magnificent: we arrived after dark, having no idea where we were until we woke to a magical scene of sunrise and mist on the river. This site is clearly a labor of love. Glenn provided clear and thorough instructions & responded quickly to any communication. I would go out of my to stay again. There should be a 10 star rating for this!!

We had a great experience at sweetTupelo. It was quiet, large camping area with a grill, fire pit and plenty of seating. It backs up to the river with plenty of trees for hammocks. It is within walking distance to the playground and boat ramp. And also dog friendly. We will be returning to this camp ground again. Strongly recommend.

Beautiful view of the river and sunsets! We also got a great look at the night sky and stars. Very clean and well organized site. The grill was really cool too. Neat custom swivel grate with handle. Lots of room to spread out. All three sites are visible to each other but spread out just enough to allow privacy. The sunsets here rival those I've seen at Mexico beach. This is a great spot to bring a hammock and a good book. You can hear the wind in the pines since you're up on a bluff. This spot will stay on our list for weekend getaways.

Beautiful location on the river. So much room to spread out. Def a good spot for yard games, frisbee, corn hole, etc. Outdoor seating and fire pit was perfect for card games and s’mores. Glenn and Lawson are so responsive with any questions or recommendations. Would love to come back one day!
