Brownville Park

We have stayed here several times last time was site #9 it's big with water, electric, picnic table, cement pad &amp; fire pit. This is a nice site other than a bright light that's on at the firewood storage area. The restrooms are small &amp; not cleaned a lot if the camp host is there Thursday-Sunday they are cleaned. The Canoe outpost launches canoes &amp; picks up canoes going or coming up or down the river. Some people take long trips &amp; 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 &amp; it's never full when were there. The outside sites have water &amp; electric, the inside sites have no hook up. They are supposed to change that. Lots of Hawks here Owls &amp; some deer. 

  

You can kayak or canoe the river &amp; find fossils or walk right off the campground into the Peace River &amp; fossil there. People have sifters they make and zip tie foam noodles around them so they float. Shovel in sand &amp; gravel &amp; look for fossils. They find Prehistoric sharks, gator, horse, Megalodon, Mammoth teeth &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; an appetizer or dessert.

Small campground good fossiling

Beautiful and quiet, we found a secluded spot. So close to the river! 

Last minute trip with the kids

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.
