Good value small-ish campground

I’m a tent camper. The location is a good jumping off point for seeing nearby attractions. The host is very nice and the place has decent washroom/shower facilities. $15 nightly fee. I did not like the proximity to the busy highway (noisy) and the campground itself isn’t big (although it does seem to cram in these enormous rv’s and trailers). Lot of electric light at night. Ok for a short stay but not very conducive to being out in nature.

Nice spot

Campground was nice and quiet. A little traffic noise but not too bad. It had a boat dock and pier to observe the St. Marks River. The St. Marks lighthouse is so close and a must see during all times of the day. We visited at least twice, once to walk along the beach and the second time to see the sunset. There are so many beautiful sights in the area. We visited Alligator Point and Bald Point State Park. We saw a bald eagle and so many other species of birds. I will return. The host was gracious and very informative. They did have some trouble with the restrooms, they were closed for a short time when we arrived and closed again before we left. However, we did use the showers and the bathhouse was clean when it was operational. I would recommend this camp if you are exploring the area and there is a lot to explore.

Quaint

Nothing fancy, but a nice spot to stay. They do have bathrooms and shower which are clean. They also have FHU, W/E and primitive. It is located on a busy HWY 98 so there is traffic noise during the day. St. Marks wildlife refuge is right across the street and Wakulla Springs is about 10 minutes down the road.

Overnighted B4 Paddling the St. Marks

Called ahead and booked a tent site at this county campground.

Brian and Betty were the hosts (BnB!). Brian was very nice on the phone and didn't even come around to collect $!

In fairness, I was there for a short time and dropped the appropriate fare by the door of their RV on my way out.

Nice bathroom facilities gave me the chance to clean up.

There's a boat ramp within walking distance if you've got one!

Inexpensive on St Marks River

This is the area where Tarzan was filmed and located across the street from St Marks State Park and on the St Marks RV with boat ramp. Sites run around $17 and there is centrally located bathroom and shower facilities. Less than 100 sites and away from the rush of humanity.
