Peace River Campground

2998 NW Highway 70, Arcadia, FL

Peace River Campground is a 160-acre destination in Arcadia featuring a mile of river frontage, full-hookup RV sites, and extensive wilderness camping. It is a prime spot for fossil hunting, off-roading with ATVs or golf carts, and enjoying the natural Florida landscape.

This family-owned campground offers a mix of modern and primitive outdoor experiences along the scenic Peace River. With 225 full-hookup RV sites equipped with 50/30/20 amp service and unique Buddy Sites for group travelers, the park accommodates everything from solo riders to large gatherings. For those seeking a more rugged stay, the 110-acre wilderness area provides off-grid camping beneath the trees, where four-wheel drive is often recommended for navigating the sandy terrain. Beyond the campsites, the property is a hub for activity with over a mile of river access famous for fossil hunting. Visitors can search for prehistoric treasures like shark and mammoth teeth or spend time on the muddy trails specifically designed for ATVs, side-by-sides, and golf carts. On-site amenities include a heated swimming pool, a fully stocked camp store, laundry facilities, and a boat ramp for launching canoes or kayaks into the river. The campground maintains a lively atmosphere with food trucks every weekend and monthly live music events. Located just off Highway 70, it serves as a convenient base for exploring the rural charm of Arcadia, including nearby antique shops and seasonal rodeo events. While the name suggests peace, the park is explicitly geared toward active families and enthusiasts who enjoy riding their toys through the Florida wilderness.
