South Hurricane Lake Recreation Area

By far my favorite campsite in NW Florida. Remote but good roads all the way to it. South Camp is water only sites but COE has plans to upgrade with some electric sites and a new shower facility soon. Always has a resident host onsite who is helpful and can provide you with local tips. many sites are on the lake edge but realize that there ARE gators in the lake and they have legs to crawl on land. I have been there maybe 50 times and have yet to see the first gator though. Boats and fishing allowed but no gas motors only trolling motors. Grounds are kept up and only the occassional pinecone falls from mischievous squirrels who will enjoy bombing you from above while laughing at you with their friends.. A magical place, plenty of shade and potable water near your campsite. Communal batheoom located near the Campground host but no dedicated shower at time of this posting. A large dumpster provides a place to leave all your trash so theres no excuse not to leave a trace on your site when leaving. I believe you can stay up to 14 days at a time before being required to pick up and move.

Spent 2 nights @ the hurricane lake south. Beautiful spot to relax and decompress. I suggest bringing fishing gear if you are into fishing. I was motocamping so I couldn't fit my fishing gear on my bike. I eneded up meeting some awesome folks there

We were greeted by the kindest friendliest host as we were setting up. He made sure we knew the rules and amenities. We stayed in camp site 2. The sites were spacious and grassy. Each site had a fire pit, a picnic table and shared a water spigot. Hurricane lake surrounds the campground so every camping spot has a view of the beautiful lake. I love that the tent campers are in a separate campground from RV campers. This makes for a more peaceful camping experience. There are bathroom facilities although, no showers. I will definitely camp here again.
