I almost dont want to tell anyone how good this place is. Its rustic but its so quiet, so gorgeous. The glory of the panhandle pine ecosystem is fully demonstrated here. Sunsets are out of this world. Trails galore straight out of the site . The road is rough coming in but its only 2 miles. Cell coverage is horrible but honestly youre too busy enjoying the woods to really care. Showers are hot and private. Bathroom always clean. The dump site is kinda far at Wright lake but the bathrooms are so close to every site it doesnt matter. Weve been here a ton of times. Hosts are always different people each time but really nice and helpful.

Arrived at the campground to find someone on our assigned site. Tried calling the campground number, but it was after hours. Called Recreation.gov, agent expected me to tell the person on the site that it was reserved for us and they would need to move. This is NOT something that should be done by me, rather by a park employee or camp host. We ended up taking a chance and setting up on another camp site that was reserved for the night we were staying. Fortunately no one showed up for that site that evening. Very upset with the advice of the recreation.gov agent's suggestion.

Magical! So quiet. Large spots, plenty of privacy. No one was ever down at the beach. We stayed 9 days! Showers were spotless clean, water was hot. Immaculate campground! My favorite in Florida.

We had a fantastic time at the camp ground. People were nice and the park was quiet. The bathroom and shower were very clean. We were at lot#3 and enjoyed the space we had. The walk around the lake was picturesque.We will be back again. Oh yeah, my husband and I are Amateur Radio Operators and had fun activating the park. No issue from other folks.
Good

Just so you know...The forestry service did a control burn in and around the camp ground. Still a great place to camp.

The road to this campsite is sharp rock 3-6 inches in diameter with no where to turn around. One sharp rock wedged between my duel tires on my motorhome and poked through my outer tire creating a big hole. Did not notice this immediately because other tire held me up. I did complain to host about the road incoming and they said Florida does not plan to fix or pave road. I would rethink this campsite. Cost me $350.00 new tire and almost had to buy a second one because the rock rubbed a wear facet into the inside tire. Tire store said still good but would have blown out if I waited any longer.

What a hidden gem! And “hidden” is the word. The road in is a mess! Go very slow and easy but the lake is a lovely, swimmable inland lake. The camp host greeted us right away and was fun to visit with as we settled in. Peaceful beautiful setting. Only water/electric at site. No dump station I can remember seeing. Bath house was clean.

Very small campground but very nice. All the camp hosts were great. Some hiking trails come right up to the campground. Clean bathrooms with hot water. Last 2 miles driving in a little rough, just have to take your time. About one hour drive to St George Island. Beautiful beach. Only negative no dump station.

Camp hosts were very friendly, helpful, and informative. The sites had nice separation for privacy. The bath house was clean and well kept. The location was great!

On site 8 with a great view of the lake. Some sites a little close together but overall nicely spaced. Obvious that improvements to the sites have been done recently. Very nice 4 mile trail around the lake as well as a 6 mile bike loop. Bathhouses were satisfactory and clean, though partially closed at random times. Never saw the camp host while we were there. Rangers did drive through regularly. Would happily return.

If you can get one of the few electric sites, they are near the lake and are very nice. The restroom has only one toilet and one shower Per gender with separate entrances. However there is no not water.
