Mullet Lake Park

Can you imagine a serene camping experience surrounded by towering live oaks, the songs of native birds, and access to the untouched beauty of the St. Johns River? Mullet Lake Park in Geneva, Florida, offers a peaceful retreat on 55 acres of hammock land with eight primitive campsites, each complete with a fire ring, picnic table, and designated parking. Its location within a quiet peninsula of the marshy St. Johns River makes it a haven for birdwatching, canoeing, and enjoying the tranquility of Florida's natural landscapes.

The campground features a rustic charm with sites beneath ancient oak trees draped in Spanish moss, providing both shade and a sense of seclusion. The park’s amenities include restrooms, a boat ramp open 24 hours, and a barbecue grill at the group campsite, catering to both small groups and individual campers. While the park does not have hiking trails, the unpaved loop road through the campground offers a picturesque walk and opportunities for spotting herons, egrets, and even swallow-tailed kites. Seasonal wildflowers, like sunflowers in September, add a vibrant touch to the scenery.

Situated near the small town of Geneva, Mullet Lake Park is just a short drive from Sanford and offers easy access to the St. Johns River’s extensive waterways. This campground is ideal for weekend getaways, nature enthusiasts, or families looking for a simple escape to connect with the outdoors in a quiet and evocative setting.
