Best Campgrounds near Monticello, FL

Monticello, Florida serves as a strategic base for travelers along Interstate 10, with several RV parks and campgrounds positioned for convenient overnight stays. Tallahassee East Campground (formerly KOA) offers year-round accommodations with full hookups for RVs and tent camping options. Just a quarter mile from I-10, A Stone's Throw RV Park in nearby Lamont provides easy access for travelers while maintaining reasonable rates. Madison RV Resort and Golf Course, located about 30 minutes east, offers a more destination-oriented experience with its 95 sites, 9-hole golf course, and amenities designed primarily for adults. The camping landscape ranges from basic overnight stops to more developed resorts with recreational facilities.

Road noise is a common consideration at campgrounds near the interstate, with several reviewers noting the highway sounds at properties close to I-10. As one camper at A Stone's Throw noted, "This park is literally 1/4 mile off of I-10 (you hear the traffic, which did not bother us)." Most RV parks in the area feature full hookups with 30/50 amp service, though site spacing varies considerably between properties. The region experiences typical North Florida weather patterns with hot, humid summers when insects can be problematic. Several campgrounds offer laundry facilities and clean bathhouses, making them suitable for longer stays. Cell service is generally reliable near the interstate corridor but may diminish at more remote locations.

Campers seeking more natural settings can explore Suwannee River State Park, located within driving distance, which receives consistently high ratings for its trails and river access. "We've been to about 10 state parks in Florida and we loved this one the most. It's very well maintained and super clean and the bathhouse looks new," reported one visitor. Dog-friendly accommodations are common throughout the area, with several parks offering designated pet areas. Madison RV Resort features a spacious fenced dog park spanning approximately two acres. Most campgrounds in the region cater primarily to RV travelers, though tent camping is available at select locations. Budget-conscious travelers will find options ranging from basic sites at Rocky's Campground (around $9 for primitive tent camping) to more upscale resorts with rates exceeding $40 per night.

    Jennings KOA

    Safe, convenient parking lot

    Immediately off of the highway. Very easy in and out. Full hookup, narrow, pull thru spots. New change to not include cable. There were lots of gnats around our site and some fire ants. Sites were almost all empty when we stopped over. Friendly staff. Next to a Shell station. Good phone signal.

    Camping / Roller Coasters / Waterpark

    This is a wonderful campground. We love to get one of the sites backed in on the animal side. You can walk to the park to ride roller coasters and after that you can go to the water park to swim. I recommend the lazy river. I would recommend this campground to families and anyone to just relax.

    High Bluff Campground — Joe Budd WMA and Lake Talquin State Forest

    Nice Experience

    This campground was a nice surprise. We reserved the very same day an there were several spots available. $17 per night with all fees included. Very quiet. A very well maintained dirt road to get there. It looks like most people go there to fish.

    Madison RV Resort and Golf Course

    Another Great Visit

    This was our fifth year staying at this campground(CG) for a two-month stay at site 60A. For the monthly rate, you pay electricity, which was not bad. We even got a bit of snow in January—a surprise for the area! Another unexpected change was the sale of the golf course and CG to Jennings Communities, which also owns two other CGs along the I-75 corridor in Florida. Senior management was on-site frequently during our stay, discussing upcoming improvements and anticipated price increases. They also introduced new on-site CG managers, while the current work campers continue handling grounds maintenance and activities. We’ll see how things evolve moving forward.

    Gibson Park

    Closed!

    I tried calling twice this week and checking the website before heading out but wasn’t able to get in touch with anyone. Since it looked like it was an active site online, I decided to take a chance. Signs are posted that it’s closed. Don’t waste your time unless you contact someone. It’s also a very small campground without much privacy between sites.

    Coe Landing Campground

    Simply Beautiful

    A small beautiful park. Boat ramp, dump station and showers. Docks by many sites. Check size of site. Some can be tight. Water and electric.

    Lafayette Blue Springs State Park Campground

    Gunn and Earl’s Big Adventure

    Beautiful stop. Rain forced a 3 day stay. Camp host beyond helpful and understanding as we’re on a Ural motorcycle. Walk-in with onsite large wheelbarrow no problem.


Guide to Monticello

North Florida's camping landscape around Monticello features a mix of private RV parks and more natural settings within easy access of Interstate 10. The area sits at approximately 200 feet above sea level with a subtropical climate that brings humid summers and mild winters.

What to do

Golfing opportunities: Madison RV Resort and Golf Course offers a well-maintained 9-hole course that receives consistent praise. "Our nightly rate was based on the monthly rate and included a golf cart and golfing on their well maintained 9 hole course," notes one reviewer who appreciated the value.

Trail exploration: Tallahassee RV Park provides access to scenic paths. "Beautiful trails," mentions one camper, while another states they "were pleasantly surprised at our stay here. We were not expecting much, but the park was actually beautiful."

Water activities: At Reed Bingham State Park Campground, campers can enjoy paddling on the 375-acre lake that connects to Little River. A reviewer explains: "Paddling/Fishing is fun on the 375 acre lake. The lake also connects to little river and it is a @ 3 hour leisurely up river paddle to Red Robin Boat ramp in Adel Georgia."

What campers like

Spacious dog areas: The two-acre fenced dog park at Madison RV Resort and Golf Course stands out as exceptional. "A huge bonus for us was their large (about 2 acres) fenced dog park. This year they fenced off an area for small dogs," shared one frequent visitor.

Clean facilities: Tallahassee RV Park maintains high cleanliness standards. According to a reviewer, "Very pretty RV park. Level gravel sites and roads. WiFi, cable, full hookups. Lots of trees and shade. Nice area to walk dogs. Will stay again."

Easy highway access: A Stone's Throw RV Park offers exceptional convenience for interstate travelers. As one camper noted, "This RV park is right off I-10 making it great for overnighters. All the sites are pull-through making late arrival less stressful."

What you should know

Price fluctuations: Campsite rates near Monticello, Florida can vary dramatically based on local events. At Tallahassee RV Park, one camper observed: "Was about double the nightly rate ($90!!!!) due to a FSU football game over the weekend but the place was only about 25% of capacity. Maybe because of crazy mark up policy."

Highway noise considerations: Most campgrounds in the area experience some road noise. A reviewer at A Stone's Throw RV Park stated: "The only complaint is minor...traffic noise due to the close proximity to I-10. This is easly solved by leaving the HVAC fan on to mask the noise."

Site spacing varies: Many campgrounds feature close quarters between sites. At Tallahassee RV Park, a camper mentioned: "Sites are VERY small… really great for parking but not socializing. With little outdoor space between RV's, most folks just keep to themselves. No fires and no outdoor grills."

Tips for camping with families

Recreational options: Reed Bingham State Park Campground offers numerous family-friendly activities. "We love this state park park with its large wooded campsites, 375 acre lake and river for paddling & fishing, 7 miles of multi use trails for hiking & biking trails, playgrounds, and putt putt golf," shares an enthusiastic reviewer.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Bring binoculars for spotting local fauna. "Home to gopher turtles, alligators, deer and seasonal home to vultures and bald eagles makes wildlife spotting fun," notes a Reed Bingham visitor.

Child-friendly amenities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "The kids enjoyed the playground, climbing tree and mini-golf nearby," mentioned a family who stayed at Reed Bingham State Park with their children in December.

Tips from RVers

Late arrival planning: A Stone's Throw Lamont, Florida accommodates after-hours check-ins. "Terri was very easy to work with as we were a late, overnight arrival. Great little park for an overnight right off I-10. Easy access," notes a satisfied RVer.

Pull-through site availability: Many campgrounds offer convenient pull-through sites for easier parking. At A Stone's Throw, "All the sites are pull-through making late arrival less stressful. All sites have full hookups and there is wifi."

Big rig considerations: Tallahassee East Campground has size restrictions that may affect larger vehicles. One visitor warned: "Looks like a wonderful campground, unfortunately we came as a group in a mini church bus and were turned away. So if you have a bus camper or are bringing a group here in a bus i would keep looking."
