The sites were all under tree canopies, so we never had to put up shade.
Lime Sink trail has such a beautiful view from the bigger bridge. Every hiking path was well worth doing & very close to the campsites!
Canoeing/kayaking is $40 per boat & they pick you up right from the campground. We never had to drive the entire stay.
Full rv hookups & the bathrooms were clean. There is only one washer & dryer. The camp host & volunteers were friendly and made great recommendations.
We will be returning to this campground.

Yay! We needed a campground in this general area, off I-10. We searched Passport America and Good Sam and didn't like the choices, so tried Campendium! Just saw a blog post and could tell it would be perfect for us. We needed a big site for our new 40' rig, needed close to I-10 and we love hiking/walking trails. This had it all.
Arrival: Greeted at the Ranger Station by an enthusiastic volunteer. She provided all the info we needed for a great, but short, stay.
Tips: How do you add tips when you arrived in a heavenly location! This is our 8th State Park experience. We've never been disappointed. This one ranks up as one of the best (because of full hook ups and the trails).
Favorite things: Flat and large sites.
Any negatives: Little gnats. We should have used some bug spray but if you walk fast, they don't bother you!
We didn't check out the amenities as we are self contained.

Lots of shade here. Great to have full hookups, but some in some sites the sewer connection is almost too elevated. The bathrooms were in good shape. We had to cut our stay short, so we didn't have time to get out on the river, but there is a canoe rental outfit close by. We plan to come back for that. We did take the Suwannee River Trail to the Balanced Rock Trail, and came back by way of the Lime Sink Run Trail. It was a great hike: interesting and not too strenuous. This is a quiet little campground with easy access to I-10.

This is a fantastic Florida State Park with full hook ups at a great price. The hook-ups for our particular site were placed a bit oddly (sewer toward the front of the site), but nothing too terrible. For the price, we weren't complaining. The rangers at the Florida Parks are always very kind and helpful and the camp hosts were great as well.

The only downside is, there's not much to do around there. The river runs through the park, so if you have kayaks, it's great. The park doesn't rent them though, so you have to go to a private company, and we had problems getting in touch with them (it was their low season). It would be great if the park rented some of this stuff.

The hiking trails are well maintained and we enjoyed checking the park out. But other than the park itself, there's not much around. It's a real small town in the middle of nowhere. So, if you're on I-10 and you want to stop for a couple days to take a break, it's a great choice. But I wouldn't generally make it a destination.

Campground is nice. Convienent when crossing the panhandle. We had a pull through site. Site was angled oddly but still used FHU. Cell service was sketchy. Couldn't use data but calls & text worked fine. With FHU didn't check the restrooms. Our site was nice sized & fairly private. Some others were neither. River is beautiful & this park has trails from short to long. Really enjoyed our short stay & we will gladly return.

This campground was a very pleasant surprise. We stopped here for just one night as we traveled from Punta Gorda to New Orleans. We were unable to make day-of reservations but luckily a site was available when we arrived. It was an easy back-in and quite level. Full hook-ups but the sewer was too far in the front of the site to be hooked up while parked in the site. The bathrooms were very clean and it was convenient that there was a family restroom as well. We really enjoyed the hiking trails along the river here. What a beautiful part of FL!

We originally had site 11 reserved, but we lucked out when we arrived because site 28 (a pull through) was available after the last campers left early. We have a 21ft Kodiak TT with slides on both sides and I just don’t think it would have worked in site 11. Overall, a great campground! Very clean facilities. Very nice ranger station (although it isn’t always staffed). The convenience store (Jay Veer?) is just up the street in case you need ice and supplies. Just be prepared that it isn’t very clean and princes are high.

We did a lot of biking on the trails - You will definitely need a mountain bike on the Balanced Rock trail. Make sure you bike out to the abandoned bridge off highway 90! You can take the back way off the mound trail, cross the railroad tracks then head past two old houses to 90.

Just from my observations from walking the campground: The sits near the entrance (1-20) seemed a little narrow to me. Sites 16/17 would be least desirable to me since there really is no separation between the sites. Also, be aware that the sewer hookups are elevated and placed near the fron the site so longer hoses may be necessary.

All in all, a great little campground!

A good stop over campground if you are travelling across the Florida panhandle east or west. The sites are smallish and sandy, but full hookups, nice bathhouses, and convenient to I-10. Short hiking trails along the Suwannee River and a full boat ramp for the same. If full, a better spot is Stephen Foster Historical SP that is just a few miles away. Both convenient to the interstate. We live near Mobile, AL and have marked this as a stop over site on our way to the Atlantic coast.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Check-in is 3:00. We arrived around noontime (we always seem to be early). The park ranger wasn't in the office yet and there was someone still in the spot we reserved as check-out is 1:00. There is an open area where you can wait down by the dumpster. The work campers do clean the sites, so if you set up right after someone leaves the work campers won't get a chance to clean. This didn't bother us and the site was clean anyways. We would definitely recommend site 15. It is on a corner and offers a little more privacy than some of the other sites. The site is also larger, pretty level and easier to back in with a larger rig. We noticed some of the other sites near us were tight and small. With the trees it makes it difficult to back in (as we noticed with other people backing in to their sites). The road is paved but is narrow. It was very quiet during the week and around Thursday and into the weekend it would get a lot busier. Overall it was very peaceful here. We stayed here the end of January.

The cell coverage was very good. With the cell booster we had 3 bars of 4G (Verizon). We had no issues at all working during our stay here.

There are 6 trails here for biking and walking. The majority are under a mile, one 3 mile trail and the longest trail is 12.5 miles. There is a dumpster here within the park that is emptied often. Amenities are 20 minutes away. There is a Publix which we loved and there is a Laundromat on the way into town. There is also a Wal-Mart in town. There is a train that you hear a few times during the day and during the night, but it didn't bother us. We laughed as it seems like every place we have been staying at lately has a train nearby, maybe we are just used to it now.

We were definitely entertained by the squirrels here. They were not phased by us at all and seemed to be a little crazier when the park wasn't crowded. We had one try to climb up our screen door and another one that was hanging from our awning. We just kept an eye on them....they were pretty harmless.

This is another great Florida State Park and we would definitely stay here again. We actually were wishing that we could have stayed more than the 14 day max even with the crazy squirrels.
