Suwanee River Rendezvous Resort and Campground is a bit unique among RV destinations in that part of it is a typical RV Park type layout, with rows of sites lined up side by side, but the other section is a wooded area with some cabins and sites more suited to tent camping and smaller campers. Located about 8 miles or so from the center of Mayo, the subject of my previous blog entry, the park, as the name implies, lies along the Suwannee River and there are canoes and kayaks available for exploring the slow moving river. A link is provided here to see more about the resort and this link will take you to today's photos of the area.
When you think of Florida, do you picture the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf Coast, the Everglades, the Keys, or how about Disney and Universal? Certainly, those things are the public face of the state, but much of the state is rural and agricultural.
A few years ago we spent the Winter mostly in Frostproof which is at the center of the vast orange growing and processing industry and today I am reporting to you from an even more rural part of the state. Mayo, FL, is the seat of Lafayette County and is the county's only municipality (pop. about 1200). There are two very small towns as well
with populations in the low hundreds and one ghost town.
This area is only a bit over 100 miles away from where we spent the first month of our RV adventures in 2007, Folkston, GA., and I have plans to revisit some of the same sites to see the effect of 10 years time.
