Best Campgrounds near Chattahoochee, FL

Campgrounds near Chattahoochee, Florida cluster along the Apalachicola River and Lake Seminole, where several state parks and Corps of Engineers facilities provide developed camping options. Torreya State Park offers tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and yurts on elevated terrain with river views, while River Junction Campground provides first-come, first-served sites with water access.

Access to camping areas varies seasonally, with some parks experiencing closures or limited facilities following hurricane damage. "A Florida State Park that reminds us of the foothills of North Carolina except for the occasional palm tree," noted one visitor about Torreya State Park, highlighting the unique elevated terrain unusual for Florida. Many campgrounds in the area sit along the Florida-Georgia border where the Chattahoochee, Apalachicola, and Flint Rivers converge, creating potential cell service fluctuations as phones switch between Eastern and Central time zones. Most developed campgrounds maintain year-round operations, though summer heat and humidity can make spring and fall more comfortable for tent camping. Reservations are recommended for weekend stays at state parks, while some Corps of Engineers sites operate on a first-come basis.

Waterfront sites consistently receive positive reviews, with campers noting the quality sunset views over Lake Seminole. Several campgrounds feature boat ramps and fishing access, making them popular with anglers and water recreation enthusiasts. Florida Caverns State Park, located near Marianna, provides a unique camping experience with access to Florida's only developed cave system open for tours. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "The campground is small but decent. There's a waterway that runs by the campground you can go kayaking." Hiking trails are available at most parks in the region, with Torreya State Park offering more challenging terrain with significant elevation changes rare in Florida. Wildlife viewing opportunities include deer, rabbits, and various bird species, particularly in the less developed areas.

    Houston County Chattahoochee Park

    Not a campsite!

    The coordinates take you to private property, and the nearby state park looks like it’s permanently closed.

    Falling Waters State Park Campground

    Nice Quiet Stay

    Falling Waters is a convenient stop, close to the interstate and easy to access. The campground is gated with an access code for after-hours entry, which made us feel secure. Sites are level gravel with a picnic table, fire ring, and even a handy towel-drying rack. They’re spaced nicely, not too close to neighbors, which we appreciated.

    The bathhouse facilities were clean and well-kept (we didn’t use the laundry facilities), and there’s a dump station since none of the sites have full sewer hookups. Cell service with T-Mobile was excellent.

    The park itself has a small but nice swimming area at the ‘lake’ with its own restroom house. Unfortunately, there hadn’t been any rain during our visit, so the falls were dry, but the trails were still worth walking. We brought our e-bikes, but aside from riding around the campground and down to the lake and trailhead, there really aren’t bike-friendly paths—definitely wouldn’t recommend taking bikes on the trails.

    Oh, and the play ground was very nice and the covered pavilions were nice.

    We checked in after hours without any issue, but Joey came knocking at 8 AM sharp the next morning like the police 🚨 to give us our parking pass—definitely a wake-up call we weren’t expecting!

    The nightly rate was advertised at $18, but after fees it came to around $30 per night, which still isn’t bad for what you get. Overall, it’s a peaceful, clean campground with good amenities and a nice location, just don’t expect to be able to ride bikes on the trails or always see water at the falls.

    Highly recommend the 45-minute drive to Econfina creek, we rented a canoe and did the 8-miles to see 7 springs.

    Stay n Go RV Resort

    Great nights rest

    This is our second stay here. It is so easy to book online or over the phone. They have restrooms, a bathhouse and restaurant options within walking distance. I. Forgot to take pictures AGAIN. Would definitely stay here again and will try to remember to take photos 😂

    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.

    Falling Waters State Park Campground

    Tent camping at falling waters

    Pretty nice small campground. The hike trails are not that exciting with little to no reward at the end. There is a tiny “waterfall” but not something that’s gonna make you say wow once you get to it.

    Very nice views of lake and shade also for the hot summers


Guide to Chattahoochee

Camping areas near Chattahoochee, Florida sit at the convergence of the Florida-Georgia border where several rivers meet. The region features unusual terrain for Florida with elevation changes and bluffs reaching 130 feet above the Apalachicola River. Cell service fluctuates between Eastern and Central time zones as phones switch between states, often creating confusion for campers tracking reservation times.

What to do

Hiking through diverse terrain: Torreya State Park offers elevated hiking rare in Florida, with one reviewer noting, "There's a hiking loop called the Great Challenge. It's so difficult, meandering up and down in elevation for 9 miles, that you may give up." The park features unusual flora and fauna encounters uncommon in other Florida locations.

Cave exploration: Florida Caverns State Park provides access to Florida's only developed cave tour. A camper observed, "The caverns are a must see in this park. Come early before they open as there is a line." Tours cost $10.75 per adult and regularly sell out during peak seasons.

Water activities: Lake access points around Lake Seminole support boating and fishing, particularly at dawn and dusk when fish are most active. "Boat launch is just down the road. If you want to bike, be warned that this area of Georgia/Florida has hills!" explains one Eastbank camper.

What campers like

Lakefront views: Eastbank Campground receives high marks for water views. "Lakefront, open, grassy campground with scattered trees that provide partial shade for many sites. Very friendly and helpful staff," writes one reviewer. Sites directly facing the water offer unobstructed sunset viewing across the lake.

Clean facilities: Despite remote locations, most campgrounds maintain well-serviced amenities. At Seminole State Park, campers appreciate the "bath house was super clean and always stocked. The grounds were beautifully kept." Sites typically include fire rings, picnic tables, and access to potable water.

Wildlife observation: The region supports diverse wildlife viewing opportunities. One Torreya State Park visitor reported, "If you're lucky you may be able to see a panther or an indigo snake." Birdwatchers regularly spot numerous species including bald eagles nesting near the waterways.

What you should know

Hurricane impact: Several campgrounds continue recovering from hurricane damage. "Very clean, very good hospitality and very nice location. Sites are a little tight and few are on water but the atmosphere and hospitality by far makes up for it," notes a visitor at Fins and Feathers Campground.

Seasonal challenges: Summer brings intense heat, humidity, and insect pressure. One Eastbank camper warned, "The ANTS and FLYING ROACHES! OMG they almost took over our camper! If you stay get a site with no trees and that's not near the water."

Time zone confusion: The region straddles time zones, affecting campground operations. A visitor to River Junction Campground reported, "The gate closes at 10pm EASTERN Time. Once in the campground, your phone will go to central time, FYI." Always verify check-in and access times with hosts.

Tips for camping with families

Best campsites for children: Areas with playground access provide additional entertainment options. At Seminole State Park, "The playground close to the camping loop is nearly complete and looks super fun for the Littles."

Swimming locations: Three Rivers State Park offers water access during summer months. "There were places to sit and watch the alligators and boats. The bathrooms were very clean," notes a camper who visited with children.

Educational opportunities: Schedule cave tours at Florida Caverns or plantation house tours at Torreya State Park for educational experiences. "Toured the Gregory House a cotton plantation house that was moved across the river by the CCC," mentioned one visitor about the historical resources.

Tips from RVers

Accessibility considerations: Three Rivers State Park Campground provides moderately challenging access. "The road in is very rough and rugged, but was completely manageable if you just go slowly (and weave a bit to avoid the huge holes)."

Hook-up details: Services vary widely between campgrounds. At River Junction, sites "offer water and electric with a dump station on exit" but no sewer connections at individual sites. Most campgrounds provide 30/50 amp service rather than just 30 amp connections.

Site selection: For larger rigs, specific sites work better than others. "Based on other reviews about that steep section, we unhooked ahead of time," shared one Eastbank camper, highlighting the importance of researching approach roads and site angles before arrival.
