"Pulled in around 3:00 on a Saturday afternoon. Only 3 other sites were being used . Felt very safe. $10 a night. With the America The Beautiful lifetime pass , we paid $8.50."
"Three wonderful loop trails 2 primitive camp sites and a great view through the trees."
"About a mile hike in. Primitive, which is exactly what we wanted. Fetch your own water from the lake. No modern amenities. Brilliant view of Lake Talquin, right on the water."
"These campsites include a metal fire ring and picnic tables. There is also a pit toilet that is surprisingly clean, trash receptacles, and water spigots."
"This campground is for tents only, however, due to a mix up with our reservation at Walker Landing, they moved us to this campground even though we are in an RV."
TravelerWe camped at Pidcock Road Campsite #49 during the 2020 Leonid meteor shower. Nice place for dogs (req'd on leash) as no other campsites nearby. Very quiet, no water or electricity. Don't trust google map for road directions, you have to approach from the east or north. Dirt roads could be an issue if wet and for larger RV-type set-ups. Marginal cell phone coverage (AT&T).
LegendThere are 3 separate High Bluff Primitive campsites, one at Dry Bridge, one at Rake Creek and one at Pidcock Road. Each spot is so far away from each other that you feel completely secluded, which is nice. We stayed at Pidcock Rd. Even though nobody was around we still kept the dogs on leash because the spot is surrounded by water on 3 sides, and we didn't want to risk any alligator attacks.
Site wasn't totally clean but definitely not the worst we've seen. There is a fire ring, picnic table, and grill. No toilet or garbage facilities so please pack out your waste.
Road in was bumpy with some huge pits but easily navigable even in our 26ft class c, just watch the road and take it slow. There was no cell service on the roads once we entered the dense forest but the spot itself was cleared of trees enough that we got service on ATT and Verizon.
We followed the step by step directions that were in the confirmation email and not google maps' directions and we had no problems.
Site was $9/night plus tax and fees which brought it to $16.79 for the one night.
ScoutTate's Hell State Forest is a primitive dispersed camping area slightly north the Gulf of Mexico in the Florida Panhandle region.

Many of these sites can accommodate a popup or RV, but there are no electrical, water or sewage hook ups in the state forest.

RangerAwesome campground with good amenities. Each site has fire ring, picnic table, water and electric. Most sites had good flora between sites, offering a little privacy. Restroom and shower facilities with a coin operated laundry.
Ranger Rob shared a secret, two campsites cannot be reserved and are always available first come first served. I got to spend two nights in one of those and it was great.
I found the hiking trails to be quite strenuous and not well-maintained in spots, but that's part of the adventure. I even took a tumble down a steep hill but made it to the primitive camp sites just to see them and get down to the river.
ScoutI arrived after lunchtime and set up my tent. There were two tent spaces all the way at the other end from the RVs on the water. They were large had picnic table, grills and fire rings. The bathrooms were a nice little walk and the water and the showers were hot. Nice place to break in my new tent. Oh I took her through a heck of a wind and rain storm. On my found it said the winds were over 60 miles an hour. But my Core tent held up fine.
LegendThis is a great COE campground on Florida Georgia border. Everyone here was so friendly. Sites are large but very open. Three camping loops. We stayed in C 17. Great site all have fire rings, picnic table, lantern pole, charcoal grill, and prep table. Sites are paved or gravel. Several pull through sites. Great for larger rigs. Loops A & C have waterfront sites. Loop B is inner part of campground. Bathhouses have separate showers from restroom area. Campground is right on lake Seminole. Great fishing, boating, and kayaking. Went in February it was cold and very windy coming off lake. Not much to do in area but great for long weekend stay. Ate at local restaurant called Rutabaga cafe which was great. You are right on the time zone switch so your phone will switch from eastern to central several times. There are amenities close by such as grocery, liquor store, Dollar general. Jim Woodruff Dam is across the lake. It was closed to visitors but we drove to the overlook which was cool. Will definitely come back for another stay.
TravelerNice pavilions with a picnic table and new fire rings. We had a flat spot and not needing to bust out the levelers is always a treat! The staff here is so kind and helpful. The others here have great knowledge about the area and we got some tips on what kinds of fish to catch...if you are into that sort of thing! If not, it is a great relaxing place to watch the river float past. Great cell signal and friendly four legged friends came to great us and our pups. Definitely stop here! Fantastic find!
GuideI stopped here for a quick overnight to tent camp off my motorcycle. Very easy to get in and out. It is nice having the convenience store right there. There are no designated tent sites, just an area to set up in. Mostly RV’s. There was only one other tent set up. Super quiet campground. Clean facilities. Will definitely stay again if I am in the area.
LegendThere are about 10 sites total at this free campground. There is a tent-only side with about 4 sites, with a pit toilet. The tent sites are much nicer than the RV sites. They are among the trees, they are more spread out, and on the water. The RV sites are all lined up in a row in an open field with no shade. The RV sites have a concrete pad as well as a fire pit and a grill and a picnic table.
We were here over a weekend and it was really, really quiet. There was only one other RV camper here besides us and no hooligans coming through, surprisingly.
Good cell service with ATT and Verizon. There are garbage bins (no recycling).
Not a fancy place but great for free. You need to make reservations in advance with the Northwest Florida Water Management District.
