Lafayette Blue Spring is located 7 miles northwest of Mayo on the west side of the Suwannee River. From Mayo, drive northwest on US 27 for 4.3 miles Turn right on CR 292 (old 251-B) and continue for 2.1 miles. Turn east on Blue Springs Road and go 0.6 miles to the park entrance.
Every June we rent a cabin here at Lafayette Blue or at Suwannee River State Park. We've never had a negative experience. The cabins are furnished and have a full kitchen with utensils etc. The porch is amazing at night to sit on the swing and listen to the frogs and other life of the Suwannee River. Our 2 kids love having the spring so close by. And it's close to other amazing swim spots. The Allen Mill Pond Spring run at the North Entrance has a lot of history. There's now a foot trail to view the beautiful karst windows and sinks connected to Lafayette Blue as well! We always make wonderful memories here and will be back again next June!
Also if you don't like having a phone signal or TV at your cabin this isn't the place for ya.
For sure we will back!! Very clean place with grills and gazebos. Swimming areas and fishing areas. The staff is very nice. Cozy place surrounded by nature.
We did a quick 2 night trip, rented cabin number 1 and enjoyed our stay. The cabins are very nice, clean, almost like renting a two bedroom, one bath house. The camp host and other staff we dealt with were awesome! The stargazing was great too. The cabins are fully furnished including linens. Just bring your clothes and groceries and you're good to go. The only thing missing, that we needed, was an oven mitt (or 2), a sponge to do our dishes and a bacon sized frying pan :-). This trip was a great opportunity to scope things out. We will definitely be back when we can spend some time on the Suwanee River.
