Falling Waters State Park Campground offers pet-friendly sites with water and electric hookups in a shaded setting. Dogs are welcome at all 20 campsites, which feature picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. Nearby, Florida Caverns State Park's Blue Hole Campground and Hidden Cypress Farm also accept pets with accommodations ranging from tent sites to cabins and RV spots. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash policies requiring pets to remain under control at all times. The campground at Falling Waters is arranged in a circular pattern with sites spaced for privacy, though some campers note limited screening between neighboring spots. Bathhouses are well-maintained with hot showers and convenient access from all sites.
The hiking trails throughout Falling Waters State Park provide excellent opportunities for dog walking with a mixture of dirt paths, boardwalks, and paved sections accessible to pets. The park features Florida's tallest waterfall (73 feet) emptying into a sinkhole, along with swimming areas at the small lake where pets must remain outside designated human swimming zones. Pine Log State Forest's Sand Pond Campground offers additional pet-friendly camping options with trails suitable for longer dog walks. Most sites in the Chipley area are relatively level with gravel pads and adequate room for both camping gear and pet equipment. The trails through the flatwoods and around sinkholes provide interesting terrain variations for dogs accustomed to Florida's typically flat landscape.
"The lookout point is a perfect location to stand and watch the waterfall and take pictures of course! The park offers some great hikes as well."
"Great open field behind volleyball court with fencing all around to burn the dogs’ energy before taking off."

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.
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.
GuideBeautiful, quiet country setting. Loved it!! Saw deer, many birds and gorgeous sunsets. Spacious sites with cement pads. Full hook-ups except cable. Able to get multiple channels with antenna only. Very nice clubhouse, pool, restrooms and laundry. Everything inside and out is immaculate. Fenced dog park with toys and obstacles. Gated RV park so only park guests are driving in. Manager, Stacey, cheerful and kind. Obviously enjoys her job. Park is within easy driving distance to 4 state parks and several small towns so we took day trips to sightsee. Would definitely stay here again if back in the area.
Campgrounds near Chipley, Florida range from densely wooded state parks to waterfront locations with springfed swimming areas. The region sits in Florida's panhandle approximately 80 miles west of Tallahassee and features numerous freshwater springs, sinkholes, and mixed pine-hardwood forests. Camping options include both developed sites with full hookups and primitive locations for those seeking a more rustic experience in the rolling terrain.
Visit local caverns and springs: The Florida Caverns State Park offers unique underground tours where visitors can see limestone formations. "The caverns are a must see in this park. Come early before they open as there is a line. The spring is closed as is the campground and some trails due to hurricane damage. The staff are friendly and very well organized," notes a visitor to Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park.
Fish in freshwater ponds: Several campgrounds provide fishing opportunities in clear spring-fed waters. At Sand Pond Campground — Pine Log State Forest, one camper mentioned, "We stayed on a campsite right next to the pond. It made for fantastic sunsets!" Another visitor noted, "You have a pond with a fishing dock and a camp host in site 1."
Paddle local waterways: The area's creeks and springs are ideal for kayaking and canoeing. A visitor at Florida Caverns RV Resort shared, "The water was gorgeous and clear on the adjacent spring/pond. We were located near the docks and I was able to launch my paddle board easily."
Peaceful natural settings: Many campgrounds offer quiet environments away from busy areas. At Hidden Cypress Farm LLC, campers appreciated the serene atmosphere: "Daryl and Nancy were fantastic host, got a private tour of the farm in his 4 wheeler. Caught sight of 3 deer and multiple rabbits. The Cypress pond is gorgeous and the trails were a lot of fun to walk."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: The region hosts diverse animal populations. One visitor to Cotton Landing observed, "From here it's a short paddle to Cypress Springs. We are visiting in late Febraury and the water has just receded below flood stage. This campground does flood so be mindful of that when planning a visit."
Well-maintained facilities: Several campgrounds receive praise for their upkeep and amenities. A camper at Falling Waters State Park Campground stated, "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."
Weather and seasonal considerations: Florida's panhandle experiences hot summers and mild winters. During summer, swimming areas provide relief from heat. A visitor noted about Falling Waters State Park Campground, "The swimming area was very mucky. The sites were spacious and well set up."
Site availability and reservations: Most popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during peak seasons. "We had a great overnight stay at this RV park! It was very affordable and offered full hookups — we used the 30amp plug, water hookup, and sewer connection with no issues," shared a camper at Hitchinpost RV Park and Campground.
Primitive camping options: For those seeking more remote experiences, primitive sites are available. A Sand Pond visitor mentioned, "There are only three primitive camping sites out here and they are very secluded. In site 3 we had a great view of the river and easy access to the hiking trails!"

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," noted a visitor to Florida Caverns RV Resort.
Road conditions: Access roads to campgrounds vary in quality. "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," reported a camper at Sand Pond.
