GenieSummary
Sweetwater Campground is a great destination for outdoor lovers, located in the heart of Floridas natural beauty. It offers a variety of activities, including hiking, biking, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The grounds are well-kept and clean, with bathhouses and bug spray available. Visitors can spot buffalo, deer, eagles, alligators, owls, and wild horses at the nearby North Paynes Prairie. The campground itself is surrounded by thick vegetation providing plenty of privacy, and offers level sites with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. The dump station is spacious and the restrooms are well-maintained. The nearby observation tower provides an unobstructed view of the prairie and its wildlife, and the visitors center offers educational sessions about baby alligators. The nearby town of Micanopy is a delightful small town with antique shops and nice places for lunch. Sweetwater Campground is an ideal spot for those looking for a peaceful and natural escape.
From The Campground
Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is Florida's first state preserve and is biologically, historically, and geologically unique. Visitors can experience wild-roaming bison and horses, nearly 300 species of birds, alligators, deer, and many other animals. The park's eight trails, including the 16-mile paved Gainesville-Hawthorne State Trail, allow one to explore the park's interior and observe wildlife, while a 50-foot high observation tower provides for panoramic views. Fishing and canoeing on Lake Wauburg are popular along with a shaded campground. During a visit to Paynes Prairie, one can easily understand why Seminole Indians once occupied a village along this vast savannah.
