Cave tours and swimming in spring-fed waters draw campers to this 32-site campground within Florida Caverns State Park. The small loop sits 2.2 miles from Marianna, with full hookups available for RVs up to 40 feet and three dedicated tent-only sites that require a short walk from parking areas.
Sites angle 90 degrees from the road, creating backing challenges for larger rigs but offering decent spacing between neighbors. Hurricane damage reduced foliage coverage, though campers report clean facilities and helpful staff throughout their stays. The bathhouse provides hot showers with strong water pressure, while some sites place sewer connections at unusual locations near the road requiring longer hoses or strategic positioning.
Activities center around the park's signature cave system, where guided tours reveal limestone formations in naturally cool underground chambers. The Blue Hole swimming area offers year-round relief from Florida heat, with crystal-clear spring water that stays cold even during summer months. Jessica O. notes seeing "deer and bunnies and heard owls at night" around the campground. Multiple hiking and biking trails wind through the property, including paths that showcase sinkholes and alternate cave entrances. The park also maintains equestrian facilities with stalls, corrals, and dedicated horse camping areas.
Reservations help secure preferred sites, especially during cooler months when the lack of coastal breezes makes summer stays uncomfortably hot. Rangers sell firewood on-site, though some campers report quality issues during wet periods. The visitor center houses a museum and gift shop, with weekend wildlife presentations adding educational value. For additional camping options in the region, explore campgrounds around Marianna.
Book during fall through spring for the most comfortable temperatures and optimal cave touring conditions.
