Florida Caverns RV Resort on Merritt's Mill Pond offers fenced dog park space in a location with clear spring water visible to the bottom. The campground features full hookups, concrete pads with daily trash pickup, and accommodates tent campers, RVs, and cabin guests. Security regularly patrols the grounds, creating a safe environment for pets and their owners. Campers with dogs note the resort's cleanliness and maintenance, with staff providing friendly assistance including site escorts upon arrival. Sites near the water provide easy paddleboard and boat launch access, though most areas lack shade trees. Pets must be leashed throughout the common areas except within the designated dog park.
Alliance Hill RV Resort's gated entrance ensures only registered guests access the property, providing added security for campers with pets. The park maintains a fenced dog park equipped with toys and obstacles for canine exercise and socialization. The spacious sites feature cement pads with full hookups in a quiet country setting where wildlife sightings are common. Dog owners appreciate the immaculate grounds, clubhouse, pool, and restrooms. The surrounding area offers multiple state parks within driving distance for day trips with leashed pets. Temperature considerations are important when visiting Florida campgrounds with pets, as summer heat limits outdoor dog activities to early morning or evening hours.

ScoutI have read a lot of the reviews. I think some of these people had other issues that caused them to give a bad review. Yes, this is known as a cat haven but with people who have dogs should stay in the dog parks, If they don't accept a place that cannot turn a blind eye to cats. This is an RV park and a campground and I'm not sure why people would expect more luxury than the outdoors experience. This is a beautiful getaway away from the ocean but right next door, and people would love this place if they knew the history behind it and maybe honor it a little bit more. The impact from people that don't like this place gives it a bad reputation. Why listen to someone who don't want you to know about the experience? Just want you to know what they think about it. This is a great place and there are a lot of hardworking, honest people. This is not just a campground, people are residents here and have been here a long time, some would even call it home. There's nothing wrong with anything about this place. It is a wonderful place to be.
GuideRight off I-10. Stayed 1 night. Owner is so nice. Park is well kept. Nice dog park. Little road noise but not horrible.
ScoutThis is a simple, no frills RV park with full hookups. There are no views of the bay or other scenic views but it is quiet and clean with level concrete pads. It also has one small bath house. The downside is that there are “grass burrs” everywhere in the sparse grassy areas if you want to walk a dog but there is a dog park.
LegendVisiting friends in Quincy, easy to reserve a last minute site. Pull through with FHU. Under $50 with our GS discount. Excellent Dog park(huge and clean with lots of grass and seating) Pool was behind our site, clean but didn’t use. Our 40” fifth wheel barely fit. The front sites, and back of the park were the best sites. Staff was friendly, and nice general store. Facilities were clean, but we didn’t use. Close to town I-10. Had fair connection with T-Mobile.
GuideStayed one night, clean bathroom and showers. Dog park just a fenced in dirt area. Gravel and grass with a small concrete pad.
ScoutNew convenient campground right off I-10. Level concrete FHU pull-throughs. Bare bones with no other facilities (restrooms, showers, pool, playground or dog park). Really designed just for an overnight
TravelerWe stayed here for two nights/three days of a ten day trip. It was hands-down the nicest of the locations. Clean, concrete pads, excellent location and good wi-fi that was not up-charged. The pool area was nice and clean. Service and staff were excellent/friendly and they escorted us to our site upon arrival. They also have trash pickup at your site daily. We saw a security truck drive through several times and had no problems from our neighbors. The location near the water cannot be beat. We were located near the docks and I was able to launch my paddle board easily. The water was gorgeous and clear on the adjacent spring/pond. Our AT&T cell service was good.
My only(very minor) complaints are that there are very few trees or shaded areas at this location and it would have been nice to have the fire pits included at the site. We did not spend any time sitting outside our camper and we only did about ten minutes in the dog park because of the sun, but then again, it's Florida in July in an area that's still recovering from tornadoes and a major hurricane. And by the time we thought it had cooled off enough to enjoy s'mores in the evening, the office had long since closed so we couldn't rent a fire pit. We have family that we visit often in the area, so we will definitely stay here again! We camped at Florida Caverns RV Resort at Merritt's Mill Pond in a Travel Trailer.
Florida's panhandle camping options near Altha include both state parks and private facilities within a short drive of this rural community. Located in Calhoun County at approximately 85 feet above sea level, the area features limestone formations with natural springs and sinkholes. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity, while winter overnight temperatures can drop into the 30s, making seasonal considerations important for campers.
Cave exploration: Florida Caverns State Park offers guided tours through underground limestone formations. "Enjoy the blue springs in the summer heat or the cavern tour," reports Al M., while Jennifer D. adds, "This natural wonder of Florida is amazing. I highly recommend a visit and touring the caverns."
Boating and fishing: Three Rivers State Park provides direct lake access for anglers and boaters. "The boat launch fishing peer and fish cleaning station are a short walk," notes Larry H. The park features shoreline fishing areas and boat ramps with cleaning stations for successful catches.
Wildlife viewing: The wetland and forest ecosystems support diverse wildlife observation opportunities. At Alliance Hill RV Resort, campers report regular wildlife encounters: "Saw deer, many birds and gorgeous sunsets," describes Carol. Bring binoculars for spotting waterfowl along lakeshores.
Swimming in clear water: Natural springs create swimming opportunities with exceptional clarity. "We had a beautiful lake view on a huge pull through site," writes Jessica O. about Seminole State Park Campground, which offers swimming areas along with boat rentals.
Spacious sites: Many campgrounds feature generously sized camping areas. At Seminole State Park, Jessica O. found "a beautiful lake view on a huge pull through site!" Another camper, Elisha L., noted sites are "level gravel pads with a walkway that leads to a raised gravel sitting area for each site."
Clean facilities: Campground maintenance receives consistent praise. "Bath house was super clean and always stocked. The grounds were beautifully kept," reports Jessica O. At Three Rivers State Park, Daniel B. appreciated "Very clean bathrooms and showers."
Sunrise and sunset views: Eastbank offers prime locations for skygazing. Ted H. shares: "Very pleasant with a lakeside view. Our site didn't have any shade but the adjoining site, with friends, had plenty." Another camper noted "nice views of lake and great sunsets."
Pet exercise areas: Dedicated spaces for pets enhance camping with animals. At Alliance Hill RV Resort, Carol described a "Fenced dog park with toys and obstacles." These secure areas allow pets to exercise off-leash while remaining contained.
Seasonal considerations: Summer brings intense heat and insects. "During the summer months, didn't get any mosquitos bites but there were a lot of gnats, so bring bug repellent or screened tents," advises Daniel B. about his Seminole State Park visit.
Shade availability: Tree coverage varies significantly between campgrounds. Ted H. notes at Eastbank: "Our site didn't have any shade but the adjoining site, with friends, had plenty." Research specific sites before booking during summer months.
Hurricane impacts: Recent storms have affected some facilities. At Falling Waters State Park, Christina mentions "Waterfall wasn't very exciting," which can depend on recent rainfall amounts and storm impacts.
Road conditions: Access roads to some campgrounds require caution. Larry M. warns about Seminole State Park: "Be careful driving south because GPS will have you going down some dirt roads." Always verify directions with official sources.
Junior ranger programs: State parks often offer educational activities. At Florida Caverns, Bridgit L. reports: "Camping with a scout troop & it was awesome even though it rained. The caverns were just incredible & the amenities were great."
Playground access: Several parks feature play equipment for children. Jessica O. mentions Seminole State Park's amenities: "The playground close to the camping loop is nearly complete and looks super fun for the Littles."
Swimming safety: Natural water features require supervision. At Florida Caverns, Charlotte F. notes: "There's also a swimming hole right across the street from the tent sites which was also really nice!" Check with rangers about current water conditions.
Nature trails: Family-friendly hiking opportunities abound. At Stay n Go RV Resort, visitors appreciate the location's access to outdoor activities. Bobbie S. notes the "great location" with convenient access to local attractions.
Site leveling: Most parks provide relatively level sites. At Hitchinpost RV Park and Campground, Tijana & Andrew C. found their "pull-through spot had plenty of room, making setup easy."
Hookup specifications: Available utilities vary between parks. Tom W. notes at Seminole State Park: "No sewer hook up with a dump station on site." Plan accordingly for water and waste management during your stay.
Road accessibility: Some campgrounds have challenging entrance roads. Todd cautions that Stay n Go is "New convenient campground right off I-10. Level concrete FHU pull-throughs," which makes it good for overnight stays.
Time zone awareness: The Florida-Georgia border creates time zone changes. Joe B. warns about Eastbank: "The gate closes at 10pm EASTERN Time. Once in the campground, your phone will go to central time, FYI." This can affect arrival planning.
