Break Out the Family Camping Here!
This little gem is tucked away on the central-eastern side of Alabama, just a 20 or so minute drive from the AL-GA state line, just due south of Columbia, right off the Omusee Creek. Over in these parts you’ll find some solid nature to interact with, trails to hike and of course, all the fun and enjoyment you’d expect being this close to the water.
Let me share a bit about Family Time Campground: there’s a sweet little solar-heated pool that’s perfect for a classic sundowner (and not so great for swimming laps!), plenty of shaded and grassy areas for RV and trailers (22 spots in all), spacious long level lots in a private gated community, filtered water and free rentals, newly finished covered pavilion with about a half dozen brand new picnic tables that has a brand new BBQ, children’s playground, community firepit for s’mores and a fully functioning laundry facility. This RV site has full electrical, water and sewage hook-ups, free WiFi and there’s even a fully-stocked kitchen you can access while on site. For those that aren’t hauling their living room behind them, this property also has (3) bunk houses, (3) cabins, (4) camp rentals and even stationary RV’s for rent.
Insider’s Tip? On Sunday’s this campground offers up "all-you-can eat" pancake breakfast for $4 – you can’t beat this! Of course, there is the famed Coheelee Creek Covered Bridge that apparently people come from all over to see. For a good spot to dine out at, I recommend Log Cabin Restaurant right across the AL-GA state line in nearby Blakely – they’ve got everything you could think of fried, as well as some things that shouldn’t be fried, but taste great regardless! Last tip – if you’re out to kayak or canoe, get out either early or late, as the current during the middle of the day can be quite strong.
Happy Camping!

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!

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.

Awful
We called ahead to reserve tent sites and ensure they had electric and water on every site. Upon arrival, we were told all sites to the right edge (water side) and right of the road were tent sites. However, the first half of this row has electric for rv’s only. Moving down the row, the sites had no electric or water hookups. The last sites were in complete sun and next to a boat ramp. All the sites had trash on the ground and none had picnic tables. The showers were just curtained off from the bathroom with no privacy, hook or bench. The staff was unwilling to help and we left without staying.

Best Pioneer Site
We went with scouts and stayed in the pioneer group site. This site was within easy walking distance of the beach which was quiet and perfect for building a sand sculpture or just watching the sunset. Best of all the site had a flush toilet, a water tap, and outdoor shower to rinse off. As far as pioneer camping goes this is luxury. Large fire pit with benches. They also offered a discount rate for scouts. The ranger was helpful and friendly stopping by to educate the kids about local wild life (a gator in the nearby pond).

Gem of a campground!
This was our second trip to Seminole State Park and it was even better than the first. We had a beautiful lake view on a huge pull through site! Site was spotless, including the fire pit. Bath house was super clean and always stocked. The grounds were beautifully kept. We had fun walking the nature trail and saw signs of deer and raccoons and enjoyed listening to the birds from our site. We had a very strong cell signal and 30 OTA channels so that was a pleasant surprise. We will absolutely be back!

St. Andrews State Park Campground
Right on the water and in town
Level and newish gravel sites so still LOTS of rocks no mud. Fire pits on a brick base. Newer wooden picnic tables. State park has a beach with public restrooms. There are 3 camp stores throughout the park. One at beach, one at jetty, one closer to camp. Many campsites are tight on the bay and you can see the water from most of the sites. It’s a large park. You can rent golf carts to get around. There is a large center area in the campground with a built in corn hole game and a giant checker board with a large community fire pit. There are areas along the sandy bay shoreline in the campground where you can sit on the beach. The bathhouse is ok. Certainly not terrible but it won’t wow you. It would be better if the showers had a private “dry area”. That’s the one part about the bathhouse I don’t care for. You either stand in the wet shower to dress and possibly get your clothes wet or come out naked. But if you don’t need to shower in there it’s awesome!
Guide to Chipley
Glamping near Chipley, Florida offers waterfront opportunities within Florida's pine forests and hardwood landscapes. The area's elevation varies from coastal plains to 130-foot bluffs along the Apalachicola River. Camping options range from primitive sites to full-hookup RV pads with concrete pads within short driving distance to beach destinations. Northern Florida's subtropical climate creates warm summers and mild winters, with occasional humidity spikes during peak summer months.
What to do
Hiking trails through varied terrain: Sand Pond Campground at Pine Log State Forest features a two-mile Campground Trail through mixed hardwood and pine forest. "The two-mile Campground Trail, part of the Forest Service's Trailwalker Program, winds along the banks of Cyprus Pond, through the mixed hardwood/pine forest, and around Sand Pond. This is a nice and easy, well-maintained, level trail," notes one visitor.
Fishing from waterfront sites: Access fishing opportunities directly from your campsite at Three Rivers State Park Campground. "There are a few campsites that sit right on Lake Seminole. Easy access to the water either off the bank, on the pier or rent a canoe/bring a boat and drop in," shares a camper. The park provides convenient amenities for anglers including fish cleaning stations.
Paddleboarding on clear waters: Launch directly into clear waters from several campgrounds. "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," reports a visitor at Florida Caverns RV Resort.
Scuba diving and water recreation: Vortex Spring caters to divers with dedicated facilities. "I've been here a couple of times for diving and hanging out with friends this place was great. They have rooms available, cabins available, RV spots, and areas to set up a tent. There are many things to do on property. Swimming, diving, water slides, swings, bike trails hiking trails, and Jeep trails," a reviewer explains.
What campers like
Waterfront views and sunsets: Seminole State Park Campground offers premium lake-view sites with thoughtful amenities. "Our site was on the water and had beautiful sunset views. Newly renovated after Hurricane Michael, the upper loop had new gravel pads and plenty of space between sites. Great fire pit and grill combo along with a large and sturdy picnic table," shares one camper.
Private, secluded sites: Several campers praise the privacy at Sand Pond Campground. "Super nice primitive sites! Would advise to book Campsite 2 or 3 as they are more spacious and provide better river views. Overall, well kept and neat. You really feel like you are in a pine forest all by yourself," notes a camper.
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Parks in the region offer chances to observe native Florida wildlife. "We saw a security truck drive through several times and had no problems from our neighbors. The location near the water cannot be beat," reports a camper at Florida Caverns RV Resort. Many campers mention seeing deer, rabbits, and various bird species throughout the campgrounds.
Clean, maintained facilities: The upkeep of bathhouses and common areas receives consistent praise. "Bath house was super clean and showers were hot," writes a visitor to Seminole State Park Campground. Another camper at Three Rivers State Park reports, "Bathrooms are clean and impressed how the trash area and dump station were placed away from campers."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Summer months bring higher temperatures and more visitors. "We spent the first 3 nights of our Florida trip here (February 2020). Kids enjoyed the pool (polar plunge), the basketball hoop and the docks at the pond," shares a visitor at Florida Caverns RV Resort.
Reservation timing: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. "Looking forward to going back for a longer stay next time!" notes a summer visitor to Seminole State Park. Advanced booking becomes necessary, especially for waterfront sites.
Site variations: Campground sites vary significantly in size, shade, and amenities. "We have about 1 mile of dirt road to get here. Some campsites can be tight if you have a big rig. Within the past year, they have removed some trees to make it easier to maneuver in the campground," reports a visitor to Sand Pond Campground.
Electricity limitations: Some campgrounds have power restrictions. "Our 30 amp camp site could not support AC and a microwave for 30 seconds without tripping the breaker," notes a camper at St. Andrews State Park Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Water activities for kids: St. Andrews State Park Campground offers protected swimming areas ideal for children. "A special treat for the kids each year is the white tailed deer walking through the sites and the bike ride over to the 'Kiddie Pool' at the jetties," shares a regular visitor. The protected swimming area within rock jetties provides safer swimming conditions.
Playgrounds and recreation: Several campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. "Great facilities. Very clean and nice facilities. The playground close to the camping loop is nearly complete and looks super fun for the Littles," reports a visitor to Seminole State Park.
Biking opportunities: Paved roads and designated paths make for safe family cycling. "These sites are perfect for our group to book two or three sites together (we book between 6-10 months in advance) and for the kids to ride their bikes around the loop," notes a St. Andrews State Park visitor.
Educational opportunities: Nature trails offer learning experiences. "The hiking trail just reopened and was an easy 2 miles. Tons of animal tracks to look for and identify!" reports a visitor to Seminole State Park Campground, highlighting opportunities for children to connect with nature.
Tips from RVers
Site selection for larger rigs: Choose sites carefully based on access and size. "Older reviews here were for Arrowhead Campground. New name and new management (or ownership?) We spent the first 3 nights of our Florida trip here (February 2020)," mentions a visitor to Florida Caverns RV Resort, noting the newer management has made improvements for RVers.
Distance from attractions: Twin Lakes Camp Resort offers excellent amenities while maintaining proximity to attractions. "Far yet close…that's the first thing that comes to mind. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the beach areas but close enough to enjoy them just the same. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try if you are in the Panama City beach/bay county/Walton county area," recommends a camper at Sand Pond Campground.
Pad quality and leveling: Concrete pads at some campgrounds make setup easier. "Pads were clean and level. Staff was very nice. Bathrooms were clean," reports a visitor to Florida Caverns RV Resort.
Hookup reliability: Water and electric connections vary by location. "Site 10 was fabulous and all sites have 50/30 amp hookup and water. Dump station nearby and a hood bathhouse area with showers," notes a camper at Sand Pond Campground.
