Nice overnight stay

This was a nice place to stop for an overnight stay. We stayed at the state park campground in site 19. It was a full hookup site and close to the bath house.

Awesome freedom camping spot

Amazing spot! Just a few people there. Beautiful views! Right by the state park, no toilets and showers here. Loved every part of it!

Northern Florida backpack Camping

Black Water River State Forest is on the Florida and Alabama state line. This is all primitive camping so be sure to bring EVERYTHING you need to camp. Also it is connected to Alabama’s Conecuh National Forest, so there’s lots of ground to cover to get some miles in. My group of camping buddies and I decided we wanted to knock out two states in one weekend. It was perfect for that! There is an old lodging road that separate the two states. We camped in Florida the first night and Alabama the second night. The tall pines were beautiful and great for hanging. We even hit the beach during our stay an hour south.

Epic free spot just outside of the Black Water Forest State Park. Camp here for up to 14 days. The primitive area is really more geared for the tent camper with several nice flat spots to pitch a tent away from the parking area. However, there is room here for smaller rigs in the parking area. Please be respectful and don't hog the parking area so others can enjoy as well. We stayed here for 2 nights in late Febraury and were accompanied by a few others. I'd be willing to bet that this place would be heavily occupied by folks utilizing the boat ramp in the warmer months and wouldn't really be an option. This is boonedocking so no servics available. Pack it in and pack it out and be sure to leave no trace, so this can continue to be an option for be people to enjoy. On the edge of Verizon cell coverage service. Rigs over 40' not recommended.
