Small but nice
This place was nice and quiet. We stayed for NYE weekend and we had a lot of fun and met some really great people. The water is ripe with sulfur so it smells like eggs but no biggie. The kayak and canoe launch was a couple miles north and then you paddle back to the site. It's a nice paddle with a lot of gators on the banks. You can also dig for fossils along the banks and find some cool shark teeth. I'd visit again.

Last minute trip with the kids
Beautiful and quiet, we found a secluded spot. So close to the river!
Small campground good fossiling
We have stayed here several times last time was site #9 it's big with water, electric, picnic table, cement pad & fire pit. This is a nice site other than a bright light that's on at the firewood storage area. The restrooms are small & not cleaned a lot if the camp host is there Thursday-Sunday they are cleaned. The Canoe outpost launches canoes & picks up canoes going or coming up or down the river. Some people take long trips & primitive camp along the way back to the campground.
There is a boat ramp, and a dump station here. They take cash or checks only. They say the campground is full a lot & it's never full when were there. The outside sites have water & electric, the inside sites have no hook up. They are supposed to change that. Lots of Hawks here Owls & some deer.
You can kayak or canoe the river & find fossils or walk right off the campground into the Peace River & fossil there. People have sifters they make and zip tie foam noodles around them so they float. Shovel in sand & gravel & look for fossils. They find Prehistoric sharks, gator, horse, Megalodon, Mammoth teeth & tusks, Glyptodon (giant Armadillo body armor, Tapir teeth and much more. You can get a Florida fossil license for $5.00 a year. mail it in in advance. We sit in the river & fossil, it's so much fun. Yes there are gators if we see big ones we move on. Otherwise when you put your shovel in the water/sand it makes noise they usually move away.
Arcadia is a cute town if you like to Antique there's a great Nautical/other shop in town.
We have also stayed in site # 11 which is nice #12 is good to.
There can be some groups camping together in sites but usually not to loud. Solomon's Castle is close by it's a neat place to visit, have a drink & an appetizer or dessert.
