Blackwater River Boat Ramp Camp

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Within Blackwater River State Forest, this dispersed camping area operates under Florida Forest Service management but currently faces access restrictions. A recent visitor reported the original campground remains closed indefinitely, though an unofficial alternative site has emerged nearby where portable facilities have been placed. The replacement location sits directly adjacent to the road, creating noise concerns for overnight stays.

The area allows campfires, pets, and alcohol while providing basic amenities including restrooms and trash service when operational. Cell service reaches this section of the forest. Campers should verify current access status before traveling, as conditions appear to change frequently in this dispersed camping zone.

Great spot for tent camping or car camping. Right next to the state park

Went there June 2026 pulled up to a little spot parked the car and set up near the boat ramp. The state park is right there you can visit and get water use the bathroom if you neeed for like 4 bucks entrance or 20 (36 with fees for the night ) couple other tent campers were there. The blackwater river is right there with a couple of different trails to take you down. Bugs were not that bad. Water was nice a cold but not too cold. There a bunch of forest roads all over the place you can camp along as well with more access to different river beaches. Honestly was an awesome time. No power or facilities literally just the woods so bring everything you need!!

Very crowded

This campground is closed indefinitely. If you drive past it, there's a new area people are using where a port a potty has been placed, but I don't reccomend staying there. It's right on the road and was very crowded.
