CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

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.

    Bainbridge Riverview Campground Bainbridge Georgia

    Nestled along the Flint River with canopy of Live Oaks, peaceful trails ++

     Disclaimer: we are current Camp Hosts at this city-owned campground in the Earle May Boat Basin Park. The city has totally redone this small, quiet campground and reopened it in Spring 2024. 

    There are 12 sites, 1 is reserved for Camp Hosts who are onsite 24/7. Sites are gravel, loop road is paved. 3 of the 11 available sites are wide back ins, the rest are very long pull through style. Most sites are nestled among the grove of live oak trees and pines that canopy the peaceful setting along the Flint River. All sites have electric(50/30/20/15) and water. There is an easy, level dump station for camping guest use only. The registered camping guests bath house is an older style but has also seen some upgrades. 

    A 2 mile riverfront paved walking trail takes you from the campground entrance into the historic downtown center filled with restaurants, breweries, boutiques, antique shops and cafes. Another nature trail loop at the CG entry has options for 3 to 5+ miles through dense old growth forest or around the boat basin itself.. All trails are basically flat and paved. 

    The campground also sits within the 300 acres Earle May Boat Basin, ideal for fishing enthusiasts. There is a small playscape in the campground and another laeger playgeound in the park which is walkable from the campground. Bainbridge is known as the Bass Fishing Capitol of Georgia! Each campsite also has a long picnic table, standing BBq grill and fire ring. Sites are wide. Sites 7, 8 and 12 are best for Starlink users as they have more open sky. Advance reservations are suggested and all reservations must be done BEFORE entering campground. It is no longer first come first served and reservation can ONLY be done online. Camp hosts do not have ability to make or change reservations or accept payment. Bainbridge has many festivals, concerts and special events all year long. Major big box stores, hardware stores, gas stations and grocery stores are within 2-3 miles of the campground. Rates in 2025 are $35 per night, currently no discounts offered. Max say length is 2 weeks. Campground is big rig friendly but loop road is narrow in some places so go slow!

    Newport Park Campground

    Very nice campground!

    I called a couple hours before getting to the place. The lady on the phone was very nice, and the place looks perfectly fine. Nice camp sites, bathroom in great conditions, and a small place that gives it a cozy vibe. I recommend it.

    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.

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. Winter temperatures typically range from 40-65°F, making it a popular destination for seasonal campers looking to escape colder northern regions.

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."
