So so...

Fairly nice grassy, well spaced campsites. Lake ain't much more than a pond. Very quiet and remote which is a plus BUT... bathhouse was DISGUSTING! Not sure when the last time anything was cleaned. Was planning on staying 7 days but bailed after two. Couldn't take the filth in the facilities. No cell service (t-mobile). Short drive to Appalachiacola but everything there uber-expensive! Will not be back....

Nice host, new facilities

The area was nice and clean. Facilities seemed new and were very clean. The sites aren’t clearly marked and there isn’t much room between them. The lake was pretty but small, more of a pond.

Quiet National Forest Campground

I made the trip over from Panama City at the relative last minute for a quick night in the Apalachicola National Forest. Seeing that Wright Lake opened up recently, and with the majority of sites listed as First Come First Served, I figured I would make the drive and check it out. I was pleasantly surprised to find that only six sites were occupied and found myself Site 14 along the perimeter of the campground. Distance between the sites was pretty decent with at least some demarcation between each with vegetation. In the inner camp sites surrounding the bath house there however isn't anything that really breaks up one campsite to another. That being said, with most of the campground being empty, everyone had plenty of space. Things look a little refreshed with the grills and fire rings almost looking new, however some sites were missing grill plates for the fire ring. The lake itself isn't very big and there's an easy .25 mi trail that circles around it.
