Only 40 Gated RV Sites in Phase 1, starting Spring 2026. Be One of the First to Stay on Florida’s Historic Mineral Springs.
Chumuckla Springs RV Resort: Where History Flows and Time Slows
Nestled along the Escambia River, Chumuckla Springs RV Resort invites you to experience Florida’s forgotten past — with gated, riverside RV pads on 55 acres of healing mineral springs land. Stay for a day, a week, or a while.
Phase 1 is now opening Spring 2026, with just 40 RV sites, each one thoughtfully placed for peace, privacy, and connection to nature. These are the first and only sites being released for early guests, and they won’t last long.
If you’ve been waiting for a quieter kind of Florida getaway… now’s your chance to claim it.
Before you settle in, a quick backstory…
Long before highways cut through pine forests and the buzz of modern life filled the air, people journeyed across oceans and swamps to reach a single destination: Chumuckla Springs.
Ponce de León came to Florida in search of the Fountain of Youth. What they found here felt close.
They came by steamship from Europe. Then by wagon through dense woods. Not for luxury — but for healing.
They called it Chumuckla — “Chum” meaning healing, “uckla” meaning water — a name that carried the very promise people came seeking.
Drawn by waters rich in minerals, rumored to cure everything from joint pain and ulcers to skin conditions and chronic fatigue, travelers bathed in a shallow spring-fed pool built right into the land. Cabins lined the path. A glass pavilion stood over the bubbling spring. And even Davy Crockett himself once stood here.
Today, those same springs still rise from the earth — and for the first time in decades, their story is being written again…
Welcome to Chumuckla Springs RV Resort:
A private RV community on the Escambia River, designed for those who appreciate the beauty of a simpler time — and the chance to experience Florida’s forgotten past.
This is your opportunity to stay where the river winds, the air is clean, and the spring-fed waters of Mineral Springs still whisper stories from generations past (often referred to locally as “Mineral Springs” due to the area’s historic healing waters).
In 1924, you could order Chumuckla Springs Water by the container — and get your money back if it didn’t work.
Modern comfort. Historical character.
Chumuckla Springs RV Resort was built with one goal in mind: to restore the soul without sacrificing the essentials.
Here, you’ll find the kind of simple pleasures and thoughtful details that make you slow down and stay a while — whether you’re kayaking down the Escambia, relaxing by our lazy river-style pool, or just sipping coffee with the sunrise.
Each RV & cabin site (waterfront & interior) includes:
Dedicated access to standard RV pads
RV pads accommodate 5th wheels, campers, and buses
Full sewer and water hookups
30/50-amp electrical service
Concrete pads and paved roads
WiFi throughout the resort
Private, gated entry for you
Access to our full, on-site store
And while the world-famous mineral spring water still flows just steps away, so does the peace of knowing you’ve got everything you need right at home.
Long before highways and hashtags, Chumuckla’s mineral water was delivered by wagon — trusted for its purity, bottled for its promise.
This photo from the early 1900s shows R.F. Jernigan Dairy proudly sourcing from the springs that still flow today.
At Chumuckla Springs, we’re not just offering weekend getaways.

-
3. Settle In & Unplug
Chumuckla Springs RV Resort isn’t a tourist trap or noisy campground. It’s a quiet return to simpler living. A place to breathe deep, watch the river roll by, and reconnect with what matters most.
And with limited sites available, this is a first-come, first-served opportunity.
Stay where history runs deep and the pace runs slow.
Rent a spot. Reclaim the quiet.
Imagine this: a peaceful riverside spot that feels like your own — without the cost, upkeep, or long-term commitment.
At Chumuckla Springs RV Resort, you don’t need to buy in to slow down.
With just 40 RV sites currently available to rent (starting Spring 2026), you can escape to the healing springs on your terms. For a night, a week, or even a month at a time.
No contracts or large crowds.
Just you, the river, and 55 acres of peace and quiet.
It’s the kind of place that feels like it’s always been there. And now, for a little while, it can be yours.
Life at Chumuckla Springs isn’t scheduled. It’s savored.
Wake up with the sun pouring through your cabin window and the sound of the Escambia River just beyond your porch. Paddle out before breakfast, or take your time with a second cup of coffee while mist still hangs over the water.
Wander beneath tall pines. Wade through the spring water like generations before you. And when night falls, trade stories by the fire under a sky full of stars — the kind you forgot you could see.
This isn’t just a place to visit.
It’s a return to what matters.
Wander a little beyond the gates…
