O'Leno State Park

Beneath towering hardwood hammocks and alongside the mysterious Santa Fe River, O'Leno State Park in High Springs, Florida, combines historic charm with remarkable geological wonders. This campground is best known for its serene forest setting, a unique "disappearing" river that vanishes underground, and extensive recreational opportunities, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

The campground features two loops—Magnolia and Dogwood—offering 61 spacious sites equipped with water and electric hookups, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. Clean, centrally located bathhouses ensure convenience, while amenities like a playground, canoe launch, and miles of scenic hiking and biking trails enhance the experience. Primitive camping and group cabins are also available, catering to a variety of camping preferences. The park's highlight, the Santa Fe River Sink, captivates visitors as the river vanishes into limestone caves before reemerging miles away at River Rise Preserve.

Located six miles north of High Springs, O'Leno is perfectly situated for exploration of nearby natural treasures like Ichetucknee Springs State Park, less than a 30-minute drive away. A step into O'Leno State Park is a step into Florida's unique landscapes, rich history, and boundless outdoor adventures.
