A group of us stayed at Jiggs Landing this past weekend. It was a good experience for the most part. We brought our kayaks and did some fishing, had some delicious burgers and enjoyed the evening tranquility. The place is amazing. We rented cabin #'s 2 and 3 for three nights. The air conditioning was not working in cabin # 2 which we reported on the first day. We were told it was fixed, however it was not. We went back to report the problem again and were told there was nothing wrong with the unit. This cabin consistently maintained around a 20 degree temp difference from our second cabin. By the evening of our last night the A/C unit was blowing water out of the vents and water was all over the window sill.. clearly a problem. My recommendation to their management staff.. if a guest points out an issue, don't dismiss the issue... Fix it.

The place is neat and clean. There was live music going on all day on St Patrick's Day. We launched our kayaks and spent 6 hours on the Braden River. We saw tons of basketball sized turtles and four gators. It was a very nice paddle and the water is clean and the river is wide and current is very slow.

Old Florida historical fishing camp on the Braden river. Entertainment throughout week. Sometimes free, sometimes a fee. Boat rental available. Tiny cabins available for rent. Snack bar serves beer. If visiting as a tourist or snowbird, please respect the local families who gather here.

I've been coming here all my life “38yrs" always wonder what the inside of the fisherman's cabins looked like? Stayed the weekend and got my chance.. Cabin 1 They are so Cute, Cozy and Comfortable. All cabins have different sleeping arrangements but the all have A.C, Wifi, and a T.V. The trip was amazing filled with wildlife and lake rides.

Are we allowed to bring a cooler with snacks and drinks from home? I came here with a friend on Tuesday afternoon and was rudely told that we would have to move to the picnic pavilion, farther away from the music. No signs clarify this. Thanks.

You are welcome to bring food and drinks from home, but we do not allow outside alcohol. The area directly around the concession building is primarily for patrons and concession customers have seating priority there. The pavilions, however, are first come first served unless they are rented by a private party.

Are there any restrictions on boat size or motor size? I know you have to run idle only.

Jason Hollis | Sep 2, 2021

No restrictions on size, only the posted speed limits.

How do I rent a kayak? No one answers the phone or calls me back.

Donnajean Ahigian | Sep 3, 2019

It's first come first serve and it's by the hour. I believe its 35 an hour for a small boat. The kayaks may be cheaper. I would buy a kayak and take it in myself. An hour isn't long enough. Time flies when you're in the water. And kayaks are fairly cheap.

Is the boat ramp open 24/7?

Josh Dickson | Sep 3, 2019
Shonnda M (Super-Mommy) | Sep 3, 2019

Yes... although there is a sign that says open dawn to dusk I believe that is more for the park side and the bait and boat rental shop plus to give the cabins privacy at night?

How do you go about renting a cabin. Do you have to reserve it in advance. Can you rent on the spot.

brad vigar | Sep 3, 2018
Lynne Fakih | Sep 3, 2018

It's best to go thru Airbnb for a good rate. Bring an air mattress or something to put over the mattress. The beds are really uncomfortable! You can also call ahead directly to them for a rental.

Do they rent power boats

Ronald Trusty | Sep 3, 2018
Rick Albrecht | Sep 3, 2018

Sorry, no. However, they offer canoes and kayaks. BTW this place is awesome for exploring by paddle boat. You could never actually see it all. I've had small alligators swim along side of my canoe, seen Eagles swoop down and snatched a fish from the water just a few feet from me. The large mouth Bass are everywhere, but not easy to catch....Lots of wildlife..and best of all, this place is not crowded, just you and nature.

Are dogs allowed like a small to midsize one ? Thanks

David Ramsey | Sep 3, 2018
Kimberly Nemeth | Sep 3, 2018

Yes, Dogs are welcome. Must be on a leash & you must clean up after them. They are welcome to stay in the cabins also, with a $10 a day pet fee to cover the extra cleaning & laundry expenses. The Aligators keep to themselves and to the water.
