SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Fishing, paddling, and riverside walks give campers plenty to do at Myron B. Hodge City Park, a municipal campground along the Sopchoppy River in the Florida Panhandle. A walking pier extends over the water for fishing, and a boat launch with flexible trailer parking makes it straightforward to get on the river. Reviewers caution against swimming, noting the habitat is well within alligator territory, though wildlife viewing along the bank is part of the draw. The park also includes a boardwalk, trail, and a children's playground.

Sites sit in two configurations: riverside spots with water and 30-amp electric hookups on a slope that may require leveling blocks, and full hookup sites closer to the road with minimal traffic. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The camp host collects fees in person during morning and evening rounds, so there's no need to arrange payment in advance. At $20 per night, it's one of the more affordable full-hookup options among the places to camp near Sopchoppy. Showers are secured with a passcode provided to registered campers only.

Opinions on the facilities are split. Several reviewers praise the cleanliness of the restrooms and grounds, while others note the buildings show their age and could use renovation. Marvin E. describes it as "large grounds, clean, well kept," and notes he has never seen it full. Cell service runs about two bars on Verizon, and Starlink has tested well here. Campers should plan for a roughly 30-minute drive to restock provisions, and those bringing RVs on riverside sites should pack leveling blocks.

$20/night. Quite and few other campers

Very pleasant campground. That caretaker is super nice and helpful, as well as knowledgeable of the area. Kinda in the middle of nowhere, but that's great if that's what you're looking for. Provisions are a half hour drive. Full hookups by the road (maybe 5 cars a day drive past) and water/power riverside (which is on an incline that is difficult to level on without leveling blocks.

Very quiet and peaceful.

A beautiful little park with a nice children’s playground. Boardwalk, trail, clean bathrooms, secure showers with passcode given to campers only. Security gate that closes at night. Very friendly and helpful staff. Verizon 2 bars, Starlink 20 to 114 Mpbs with cloudy skies, which allows me to get my work done. It rained about 50% of the time I was there with temps dropping into the 30-40s at night.

Not great

We drove out of our way to stay here because the reviews led me to believe it was a hidden gem. While it gets high marks for ease of use, ease of check in and is definitely quiet...it is quite run down. The bathrooms are adequate, in that there is hot water and working toilets, but they are run down. The whole place felt like an ancient summer camp in need of some fundraising for repairs and a cosmetic facelift. The grounds are pretty if you can look past the buildings.

Clean and quiet

This park is a largely undiscovered gem. Large grounds. Clean, well kept. I have never seen it full and I drive by often even when we aren't camping. Great place to fish from a walking pier. Wouldn't recommend swimming here. We have not seen any gators here but it is prime habitat for them and well within their territory. Camp host comes by mornings and evenings. When you arrive, choose any open spot, hook up (water and 30 amp electric). He'll come to you. $20/day.

Overlooked

Apríl 7 to 9, 2021 I had a Sopchoppy River front site w/ water & electric, picnic table & fire ring, bench swing. Sites are first come, first served. Hot shower. (Ask Camp Host, Tom, for key when He comes by early evening to collect camp fee.) $20 per night. Swim, fish, boat launch, pavilion. Beautifully landscaped, clean campground and facilities. Handicapped accessable. Friendly locals are day users & will engage in conversation about the area if you’re interested. Sopchoppy, pop. 500+, is a little known, out of the way, inland Florida Panhandle location worth visiting.
