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.

BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!
BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!
This place appears to be a hidden gem until you encounter the“soulless” owners in charge and their entourage. It’s not just the performance they put on when you first arrive, but their behavior after you’ve paid.
King Vicky and Queen John are tyrannical figures. Initially, everything seems fine, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. They proudly display a Christian flag with the American flag on their flagpole, claiming to be Christians, yet their actions reveal otherwise. They are judgmental and create a hostile environment that makes it impossible for my children and me to enjoy our stay. They refused to mow the yard next to our RV as a protest for our presence. They even had the audacity to laugh at my husband and me(in front of our three children, aged five, four, and one) for our beliefs. Queen John openly admitted to his posse and King Vicky that they talk about us constantly and have some good laughs at our expense. Are they truly Christians? I doubt it.
Queen John disrespected me, called me names, and attempted to evict us while my children were in the room. Later that night, he knocked on our door and apologized for his actions. When I began to correct him on the events that transpired, which he was misrepresenting, and I rely on factual evidence rather than personal feelings, he told me he didn’t care and needed me to shut up so he could apologize. Was this a genuine apology? I don’t think so.
King Vicky went so far as to withdraw funds from my account without my approval. They even called the police on themselves when we demanded a refund for the theft of money. It’s clear that they dislike confrontation, and it’s evident that no one has ever stood up to them before. King Vicky’s voice trembled as she realized the illegality of her actions. They only issued a refund after the police arrived. To this day, we haven’t received an itemized receipt for the refund.
Be cautious around Queen John. He touched my children, and I immediately grabbed them and pulled them away. I refuse to let that negative energy affect my children. Interestingly, this energy transfer is even mentioned in the Bible. However, I don’t see Christians complaining about it. After that, King Vicky complained about having to talk to my kids and started asking them,“Did you have fun here?” I cut her off and firmly stated,“Do not speak to my kids. John owes my children an apology for his actions. You were not there to offer any sort of apology. Moreover, you complained about talking to them in the first place.”
The employees at this park are not properly trained. On our first night, Peach and her husband Jim greeted us. Peggy was also present. Peach was struggling to figure out the system for changing the site number and had to wait for Vicky in the morning. When Peach arrived in the morning, she claimed that Vicky had fixed it, but only for the two-month stay. She couldn’t understand how to charge for only one month. As a result, she instantly charged me for two months.
King Vicky and Queen John insist that they are good park owners, but I’ll leave that for you to decide. We don’t hold them in high regard based solely on their numerous ignorant behaviors towards our family. We’ve already had a difficult experience with them, and I’m writing this review to warn you all to exercise caution before staying here. We’ve been through it, so you don’t have to. My recommendation: CHOOSE A DIFFERENT RV PARK. There are many more options available nearby. Make a better choice than we did.

Don’t waste your money
Extremely run down. Not even close to being a water park. Save your money and go to Splash in Milton or if just passing through stay at The Station across the highway for more a more updated, clean experience.

Should have hookups soon
Nice quiet spot by the lake, this place is clean and peaceful.
Each spot had an electrical box and a water spigot. When I plugged into the electrical box, there was no juice even though the breaker was turned on. Water was working fine though.
Their website still lists it as primitive and it was 10 bucks to camp.

Relaxing Waterfront Campground
This is a small but very relaxing campground right by the water, surrounded by wildlife. You can spot several alligators, and at night there are lots of frogs creating a truly impressive natural soundtrack. Considering the waterfront location, there are surprisingly few mosquitoes, which was a nice bonus. The showers and restrooms are simple and clean. For the price, this campground is an absolute gem and offers really good value.

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.
