Suwannee River Wilderness Trail Peacock Slough Campground

About

Peacock Slough River Camp is a well-equipped paddle-in campground on the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail at river mile 113.0, positioned just south of Wes Skiles Peacock Springs State Park. The outpouring of water from the nearby spring system to the river is often visible at the river camp entrance. The camp offers five screened sleeping platforms, each accommodating up to eight people and equipped with ceiling fans, electrical outlets, hammock hooks, and small tables. Primitive tent camping sites are also available for those preferring a more traditional experience. Each sleeping platform has its own water spigot, fire ring, and picnic table just outside. Additional shared amenities include hot showers, restroom facilities, grills, and a covered picnic pavilion. The camp is accessible only from the river or hiking trails; no vehicles are allowed. Peacock Slough sits 8.3 river miles from Lafayette Blue Springs State Park and 9.7 miles upstream from Adams Tract River Camp, making it an ideal intermediate stop on multi-day paddling trips. Local outfitters can deliver gear, coolers, and food to the river camps for paddlers on extended trips.
