Best RV Parks & Resorts near Apalachicola National Forest

Several RV parks surround Apalachicola National Forest, offering varying levels of amenities and waterfront access. Ho-Hum RV Park in Carrabelle features full hookups with 50-amp electric service on level gravel sites overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. "Nice park. All pull through sites except for waterfront. Pier to fish from. Right on the Gulf. Facilities are clean," notes one camper. Coastline RV Resort in Eastpoint maintains 108 sites with water, sewer, and both 30/50-amp electrical connections, operating year-round with consistently high ratings. River Landing RV Park, though smaller with just 10 sites, provides 30/50-amp hookups, sewer connections, and fire rings. Carrabelle Beach RV Resort accommodates larger motorhomes with big-rig friendly sites and laundry facilities.

Access roads to some RV parks require careful navigation, particularly after rain. Many parks along coastal Highway 98 fill quickly during winter months when snowbirds migrate south. Cell service varies throughout the region, with stronger connections reported at parks closer to Tallahassee than those in more remote forest locations. Most RV parks are pet-friendly, though some have designated pet areas. Dump stations are available at Ho-Hum, Ed and Bernice's Fish Camp, and Tallahassee RV Park for those staying at facilities without sewer hookups. According to visitor feedback, RVers should come prepared with supplies as on-site stores have limited inventory. Waterfront sites typically command premium rates but offer direct Gulf views and fishing access from private piers where many parks include fishing licenses with stays.

    T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park Campground

    Beautiful site with diverse habitat

    Lovely area, bring snorkels, kayaks, and bikes. Lots of wildlife. Really neat shorelines with sand and very tall trees, driftwood, dunes. Make sure to explore both sides of the peninsula. About 1.5 hours from Apalachicola National Forest, lots more to do in the area. Watch the sunset! Camp sites have nice privacy, some areas are wooded for shade. Some of my group stayed in the cabins and they were also nice (though sparcely stocked, call to know exactly what to expect). Very clean, great services as described.

    River Junction - Lake Seminole

    Awesome surprise!

    What an awesome surprise! COE campground on a dead end road (ends at the boat ramp) with water and power. Dump is just up the road on your way out of the park and super easy to get to. Level sites, nicely spaced and mostly shaded. I bet it’s even more beautiful in the spring and fall. Picnic table, fire pit, grill and a fish station at all sites. Walking distance to boat ramp and lake access. Pet friendly. Road in was paved and well maintained. First come first served and although there is a camp host on site there is no way to call to check availability. $20/night ($10/night senior citizen or Access Pass).

    Three Rivers State Park Campground

    A Great Florida State Park

    Small, well maintained park and sites, with 30/50 amp and water hook ups. A pleasant surprise when we arrived, after miles of rural driving! GPS took us the correct way, but seemed we were lost! Staff greeted us at entrance, gave us a map and explained how to get to our site. It was raining, and our site was back-in and downhill, mostly level with gravel, a picnic table, has a fire-ring with grill grate. Bathhouse is clean and impressed how the trash area and dump station were placed away from campers. The dock/pier, and boat ramp, are at the back part of the campground, The amenities are nice and there is outdoor cleaning sink behind the bathhouse, sitting area overlooking the river, the fish cleaning station, fire pit area, trails, and canoe/kayak drying area. 3 concrete sites, as well as tent sites. Lots of spacing between most of the sites, some are waterfront. Wildlife is plentiful and the trails are a great way to enjoy it all! We will come back! And it’s only $20 a night!

    Florida Caverns RV Resort

    Nice Stay

    We 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.

    Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park Campground

    Very Nice and Secluded

    Very nice and quiet camp site. Each site is very private, and the camp is very secluded. After entering the park, it's a four mile drive. The closest large town is about one hundred miles away.

    The beach is walking distance, but no pets are allowed on the State Park Beaches, but pets are allowed on the public beaches outside the park.

    There's not much shade for tent campers.

    This camp ground is hard to get into, so it's best to book early.

    Lastly, although the camp ground have electric outlets at each site, 20, 30, and 50 amps, the closest high speed EV charger is 56 miles away in Mexico Beach, about one and a half hours drive.

    Tallahassee RV Park

    Very Nice RV Park

    We stayed nine days in Campsite 39, a gravel pull through with more than enough room for our 27' truck camper and jeep tow vehicle. We used 30 amp power and it was steady. The power, sewer and water connections were conveniently located. We were impressed by the cleanliness of this RV park; there are many pine trees and the staff worked hard to keep the sites and roads neat and raked. The laundry is reasonable at$2 wash and$1.50 dry and all the machines were clean and worked properly. We did not use the pool, restrooms or showers but they were all clean and in good condition. A Walmart Supercenter, Publix Market, Costco and Bass Pro are 4 miles away. Wakulla Springs State Park is 23 miles away and worth a visit. We enjoyed our time here and will stay again.

    Blue Spring Recreation Area

    Tiny and Free

    Nice tiny campground in the Florida forest. There are only 3 sites and you must reserve online through the water management district even though it is free.

    Porta Potty, garbage cans, covered and paved picnic table and fairly level sites on all 3 spots. All the sites are fairly separate and the middle site, site #1, is a "bump out" style and is more open and close to some swampy water. Sites 2 and 3 are back in and almost completely private.  No one else was there when we were. Mix of sun and shade and the covered picnic tables were a bonus because it added shade. Parking at the sites are sandy with some gravel but we had no trouble in out 26 ft class C. Not a very good spot for huge rigs or big fifth wheels unless you are a master at tight turns and backing in. On the road in is a day use area for the springs and there are hiking trails and picnic tables and grassy areas. There's also access to the water here in the day use area. Overall this is a nice place and we would stay again.

    Sheriff drove through on our second day and checked our reservation so be sure to make one. Other than that we only saw one other person drive through. Very quiet but a bit buggy. We had a couple of ticks on us, though not embedded, but they are there and some flying pests as well. Probably worse in late spring and summer. Great place if just passing through or if you want some peace and quiet.
