There was a lot of trash while I was here, there are bins but people didn’t use them? Or they did and nobody has come to get the trash bags? At least a truck beds worth of trash right now. However I am incredibly grateful for this spot, It’s raining and it is a paved easy road to get down in this land of low lying dirt roads, that was clutch. There’s a really nasty vault toilet down the hill, surprisingly there was toilet paper and what looks to be some trails but since it’s raining I probably will not partake.
Cool dam to watch if you drive down the hill too where the bathrooms are. It’s a shame that those who have used it have abused it, I’m going to clean it up the best I can, it could be a really pretty place.
There was nobody here in December on a rainy day. There are 2 loops - 1 for tents and smaller rigs and 1 that anything could fit. I wonder if this place gets busy, it is well used.
Friendly staff. Mountain biking. Campsites with them without electricity and water. Great place to stay.
Great place. Has laundry, showers. Pool and table tennis in same room as laundry. Snack machine. Cabins. Unfortunately we arrived late and left early so we didn't get to use all the facilities. Wifi was pretty good.
Nice and quiet. Good separation between campsites with shade. Bathhouses clean and close to most campsites. Plenty of walking trails. Love the Bird tower and kayak launch. Sandbar near launch to hangout when paddling. Perdido Key state park is close by for great beach access. Free if staying at Big Lagoon.
Campground and beach area as well as bathrooms are in good shape. Camp sites are missing shade trees from hurricanes. Worth a stop👍
Very clean, well kept park. Good space between sites. The only downside I could find was I10 is close enough to be heard. 5 minutes away from battleship park. Plan for a whole day there if you really want to see everything they have to offer. Only an hours drive to the Naval Air Station at Pensacola. Highly recommend the museum there as well as Blue Angels practice viewing.
Our site was pull thru, all with FHU, great water pressure, gravel sites. Great place to decompress and unwind, in a natural environment. Spacious sites, also saw a nice tent area, several portable potty’s, and a free to use washer and dryer in the Hanger/guest clubhouse , that also has a sink station, picnic tables, and grilling area! Lots of added touches! 3 dog parks, dog washing station, mutt mitts throughout park(which was much appreciated,) a nice playground, tree swing, volleyball area, soccer field, and disc golf. This is our third time here, the first was for the balloon festival, and we stayed in a smaller back-in site, second time was for our granddaughter’s cheer competition, in Orange Beach, and now we are here to kick off the summer with our grand at OWA! The pull through site was partly shady and more than accommodating, with our truck and 40” RV. T-Mobile was ok, but we used our Starlink for work and streaming, which was awesome…no interference. We went to the fireworks at OWA tonight and ate at The Goat and watched the playoffs! The rest of the week will be full of fun at Tropic Falls, and ACC is within minutes of restaurants, stores and beaches!
This was a nice spot and was free. You do have to have a reservation. It's a little unlevel and best to back in. Be sure to get a site map, or it will be hard to find.
Nice campground, gravel site with small pad with picnic table and fire ring. FHU, and plenty of activities and amenities for our granddaughter. Playground, mini golf, large outdoor Connect Four game. Nice dog park, camp store and pool, but too cold to swim. Didn’t use facilities, but looked clean. Tents and cabins in backside of the park. I would reserve there if possible some interstate noise upfront. Staff friendly and took us to our site. Love the bike trails nearby.
We had some rain but wasn't a big deal. The site we had was superb as had plenty of elbow room and with all the trees and bushes, could not even see the camper next to us. Great location if you want to drive into Pensacola. Was nice walk to the river with all the sandbars.
This campground has spacious campsites and not too far from a river. The river has soft Sandy bends, Perfect for swimming in. The campground has electric sewer and water. The restrooms were very clean here.
Our family drove over an hour to fish here. Upon arriving at the gate, we weren’t even greeted. A older lady stood up and just stared at us with a mean look. After about a 30 second stare, she finally said“hi”. I said“hi”. Another 15 second stare and she said”can I help you?” Very rudely. I said“yes we’re here to fish”. She said“we’re closed”. I asked what time they close daily and mentioned that google says open 24hrs and their website doesn’t list hours and she said“4”. I said we drove an hour here and you don’t close for another 45 min can we just drive through and look around, it’s our first time here. She said well I’m not charging you. I said this place was recommended to me on Facebook-can we at least look around? She said“no we’re closed”. I said ok what’s the price? She said we’re closed. I said I understand what you’re saying but what is the price? She sat down and refused to answer me. We left. We probably won’t be back. I decided to check around to see their reviews and it seems this lady is rude to everyone. Why has she not been replaced? I believe her name is Tracy. I tried to find out who her boss was by calling and emailing. However, no one answers the phone and she told me via email she’s the supervisor. SHE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED! So many people complain about her!!
Did an overnight pit stop only. Conveniently located of the freeway, yet quiet. Fenced in dog yard. The staff is super helpful and friendly!
Blackwater River State Park is a hidden gem. Yet another one of the state of Florida's fantastic state parks. You don't need the beach when you've got the pristine white sands of the shores of Blackwater river. The river and the surrounds are super quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Tubing, kayaking canoeing are all super here as is the bike riding, if you know where to go, (hint: follow the road to the boat ramp just north of the entrance).
The campground itself is beautiful. The noise level is terrible. So if you are retired or want a nice, quiet place, this isn't it. The sprawling playground that aligns the campsites assures of loud, screaming children at all hours. Further, either there is no noise ordinance, or it is not enforced as loud music is ongoing into the night. Unfortunately, have to strike this beautiful spot off the list.
They are not calling guests with reservations to let them know that there is no longer free cable or internet. The outside pool is empty and unsafe. They have removed putt putt, basketball, and docks for fishing. Also, the amenities listed, like alcohol and market, do not exist. More lies to get people in. After raising rates and getting really bad feedback, they are now begging people with promos to get them to stay. And don't let them tow your rv because they don't have the truck that they use insured. So if they damage it who pays for it? They can't afford repairs in the park so don't count on them paying for your repairs if it gets damaged. I see no future for this park with the " investment " management company they brought in. More worried about filling their pockets than caring for guests. It's sad that the summer folks will show up and find all of this out and be stuck because all of the other parks will be full for summer. It's companies like this that take the fun out of the rv life. If you want to see for yourself Google REEAF and RVPM. They don't even treat outside investors well.
So well maintained, it is way back in the woods. Cell service was on the struggle bus the whole time, but overall this is a great little place.
Large sites with plenty of space between. They rent tubes to float the creek or canoes to paddle the ponds in the park. Ponds have fish to catch, don’t even need an Alabama fishing license to fish. Super quiet.
While traveling from TX to Tallahassee, we wanted our 2nd nite to be more enjoyable than staying at a Rest Area. Booked last minute at this KOA and checked in after hours. All went smoothly!
Hospitable staff, nice trails, great scenery and wildlife, clean restrooms with great water temperature and pressure. Very nice sized campsites and some are concrete pads. All look pretty level.
Great price for camping with water, electric, dump station. Some issues with flooding in shower house 1. No problems finding another available one with plenty of hot water, space and cleanliness. Most sites were a bit close together - no privacy. Quiet campgrounds with nice view, wildlife and trails. Possibly my mistake in not understanding the alert that water was down in lake, but unable to launch our boat caused the lower rating. Normal size kayaks would have no problem.
Clean restrooms, reasonable fees (cash only), on-site manager friendly, but makes sure rules enforced to keep campground clean and family friendly.
I’ve camped at Mystic Springs numerous times. I book the group site. Very large & spacious. Perfect for a large group or multiple people. Plenty of room for several tents. It has a fire ring, grill, covered structure with 2 picnic tables, a garbage can and a large portapotty. It’s generally very quiet. It’s a gated site so to me it feels more secure. People do walk through the site occasionally but not too often. It’s primitive camping so no power & no potable water. Most sites have water view.
Passed through one night stay. Convenient to get to off I-10, shady spot and full hook up. Should have used our own shower, but I like to look around......not good. Code to use the shower wasn't necessary because door wasn't shut and locked, shower was NASTY, but they did provide your own personal brillo pad for cleaning.....Wait, that wasn't a brillo pad!......lol. Walked dogs in the morning to have to retreat back to camper due to pit bull running around off leash. Probably won't be back.
Seems newer, close to town but not with all the noise, set far back from the road, clean, really nice pool, great amenities. Reasonably priced. We would visit again
I know there are new owners but when I pulled in there was no one in the office. They had a lot of long term people with some pretty old rigs. Did not like the place at all and I moved on.
Great location, concrete pad, full hook up
