ScoutThe photo associated with this description is a picture of the cedar key tourist area- not Shell Mound Campground. However, situated approximately 4 miles away, Shell Mound is an incredible camp site for tent camping, RV camping, kayak camping. It’s a county run park and only 10$ night for tent camping or pickup truck camping. It has a clean bath for men and for women and hot showers for both. Boat ramp only usable at high tide- otherwise need your airboat to slide up in low tide. Short hiking trails just to the south through the salt marshes and amazing archaeological mounds and history in walking distance. This is the best of Florida. At night, grab dinner and drinks in cedar key and come back to your camp site next your fire. Sleep good listening to crickets, owls, and other critters. Wake up to the glorious sun rising over the salt marshes! Use this site as a home base to explore the Lower Suwannee wilderness areas owned by the federal and state governments!

GuideThe park was beautiful with tons of mossy oaks, we camped in a tent, but the bathrooms were close, there was an outlet and a water faucet near to wash our dishes. I didn't see any manatees but the spring was beautiful and cold. Pretty hiking trails and a boat launch, the raccoons loved my husband's boat.
ScoutTo much for just tent camping
ScoutWe decided last minute to do some camping and they were very nice in the office. There are showers, bathrooms, tent camping, rv camping, canoe launching, and even a pool. Also if you keep going down the main road you will find a little beach and park. The only thing I could suggest is that they do not place the tent campers right in the middle of the rv's. It was hard to get used to our tent camping and hearing the a/c's and tv playing Every Body Loves Raymond.
ScoutMy fiance and I came for a week tent camping. Very friendly staff, clean facilities. Cozy game room for when we got a little bored. Great stay!
TravelerThe people are friendly and the fishing is great. Tent sites are primitive but there is a bath house.
GuideState park off the beaten path. Rv sites can be tight, lots of tent sites. Springs area is small but cave divers are always there. Make sure you check for ticks.
ScoutRV sites but they allow tent camping so you have electric and water hookups, showers, toilets, dog friendly, many hiking trails, and a 30-minute drive to the Crystal springs, dames caves, and manatee snorkeling!
Everyone there was super friendly. If you like off-roading, then you'll love their trails.
