High Bluff - Joe Budd WMA and Lake Talquin State Forest

Mixed feelings about this campground.  It has too many sites too close together, but if few people  are there it is peaceful.  We stayed on a weeknight.  Several people used the boat ramp, but only one other camper. So the night was quiet.  I could see how it could be well used for day picnics and fishing and could become quite noisy. The boat ramp is separated from the camp a bit, and it was not noisy.

Not much view of lake from sites, but the lake is pretty from the fishing pier and boat launch.  A bit of trash in some sites but not too bad.  I'm guessing someone does not come and check on this site every day.  We were in a van and did not try the pit toilets.

It is about 3 miles from the main road, one mile of speed bumps, two of dirt, but it is level and well packed.

Small campsites but it's a small campground. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. 2 out house style restrooms. Cleaned weekly. Took a long dirt road to get back to campground and got lost 1st time going in. Have stayed there twice since I have family living in Tallahassee. Once in spring and once in fall. Found tics on me both times so beware. Chiggers got on me too. That's just camping in the woods. Will definitely be making future trips back.

Camping, fishing, and boating, the big 3 in the mind of an outdoorsman. Now to catch that big one. A little warm and the bugs are getting ready for the dusk attack. There are gnats and flys during the day but nothing biting….yet
