  Perry KOA

  Another hurricane victim

  Another KOA on our trip to circumnavigate Florida. Another KOA recovering from hurricane damage. But, they do have some things open: the rv sites are open, the dog park (a nice large dog park), the hot tub. They have propane and a limited store. There are also tent sites and cabins. Lots of large live oaks with Spanish moss survived the storm as well. It is about an hour from the Suwannee River State Park where you can see Manatees in the clear waters of the spring.

  Perry KOA

  Love this KOA

  Such a fun time at the Forest Festival. Walked to it from the KOA. Didn’t use laundry but nice facilities and pool & hot-tub are clean and nice! Cute playground! Our site was my favorite yet! Cows and horses are on the property behind the KOA & come up to site 27! The site also has a swing and sunrise and sunsets are so beautiful across the pasture. The bench, table, fire ring at the site, is amazing! Staff is friendly and the store is stocked and cute. Mosquitos are bad so we had to use lots of bug spray.

  Triple C's Campground & RV Park-PERMANENTLY CLOSED

  Quietest campground

  Needed to find last-minute reservation and they were able to put me in a cabin only $50 a night! Very clean, very quiet and very friendly staff. Cabins are rustic but they have a full service bath house. Now goes by the name Flat Creek Family Campground

  Tallahassee East Campground

  Do not bother unless emergency

  Very run down campgrounds that used to be a KOA and now a Good Sams campground. Not maintained very much even though the few staff tried to clean it a bit. Weeds, not mowed, peeling ceilings in dated bath house with exterior doors that do not close or have keyed entry. Only trash can was in laundry room which was at least open 24 hours but many machines out of order. WiFi only during business hours. Friend stayed in minimal cabin and was dim missing bulbs and smoke detector. They even charge a pet fee to clean cabin after pets.

  Torreya State Park Campground

  Mountains of Florida

  Great trails in the mountains of Florida. Campsites are narrow but long we had enough space to set our screen room up behind camper. Hurricane michael did extensive damage to the area. Trees and shrubs are growing back. Not much shrubbery between sites. Two super cool yurts for rent and a cabin. Campground is set above the ravine which makes for awesome sunsets. The trails can be accessed from campground. Most of the trails are pretty strenuous especially for Florida. Warning about copperhead snakes at this park so I would not take dogs on any of the trails.

  Torreya State Park Campground

  The Mountains of Florida!

  Love camping at Torreya! The rangers are fantastic. Tour the Gregory House - it's worth the couple bucks! 130 ft bluffs and great view of the Apalachicola River. Hike the many trails - we loved the "Torreya Challenge" trail! Visit the stone bridge to. Lots of history here and lovely campground. The woods even still have lightning bugs! Clean Bathrooms. The Cracker Cabin is great as is the Yurt - both are booked often and must be reserved in advance. easy access to hookups. A "must see " spot in North Florida!

  Great place

  Very nice and clean. Tent area has about 6 sites in a circle around a covered area giving each site shade, shelf, a light, electric and water. Sites have picnic table and fire ring. 6 private shower stalls, clean bathrooms, a clean pool, small playground and store. We have stayed here a few times in the tent area but they also have Rv sites and cabins.

  Torreya State Park Campground

  Nice spot in a quiet part of Florida's panhandle

  Torreya State Park is tucked away by itself and has a smaller campground at only 29 sites, and it's part of what makes it a great place to get away. 

  Small and remote means peace and quiet. The sites aren't very private, but there aren't many and folks seem to keep to themselves. 

  The bathrooms are small but decent and well-maintained, and there are 30-amp electric and water on each site. Another nice feature is a very clean laundry area. It only has one washer and dryer, but the campground is small enough that doesn't seem to be a problem. 

  Nearby trails, some accessible right from the campground, also make this a good spot to use as a basecamp if you want to get out and explore some of Florida's natural beauty. Also, Gregory House is an 1850s plantation home that you can visit for a guided tour and is within walking distance of the campground.

  Ed and Bernices Fish Camp and RV Park

  A hidden gem. Great place to stay. Beautiful park.

  Ed and Bernices is a hidden gem.  Beautiful park.  Very peaceful.  You have a boat ramp for use with your rental.  The park and bathrooms are very clean.  Staff is very nice and helpful.  A fish cleaning station.  Bring your toys for the river, we had a blast.  Everyone in the park treated us like family.  Our pets were welcome.   Just cant say enough about this park.  I really enjoyed my time there and am going to be back soon.  You’ll love it.

  Ochlockonee River State Park Campground

  Beautiful oaks and the famous white Squirrels

  This trip, we stayed 2 nights in space 25. It is convenient to the bath house (which is among the cleanest we've ever seen) and has plenty room for our 28' trailer. All of the spaces are very close to their neighbors, some are too close. This park is the tightest Fl State Park in our experience. The road among the sites and the sites are all dirt but level to the eye. Only the handicap space has a concrete pad (#23). The river makes the experience. Boat ramp and swimming area. Fishing. Rental kayaks. Bicycling. Hiking. Mild climate except for late summer heat.

  Ochlockonee River State Park Campground

  Remote and quiet

  Set back in palms and live oak, the campground is private with some sites very private and others not at all. The best sites seemed to be #7-9 and #18-21 as they have the best privacy, are close to the river, and are completely set back from the main loop. Sites closest to the bathroom have to contend with hearing the bathhouse fan (although light from the bathroom didn't seem to be an issue). Unfortunately I ended up with the last sight available, #26, right next to the end of the bathrooms with the fan. Good thing I travel with earplugs. On the plus side, my site was a pull through so coming and going was very simple. 

  There are some really nice trails along both the Ochlockonee and Dead Rivers, as well as a pretty scenic drive that is "paved" with wood chips, which makes it perfect for hiking. While I didn't see any gators, there were signs warning about them. I did see several deer, a raccoon, and some lizards. 

  Town is about twenty minutes away if you need anything. There are several bars and restaurants as well as an IGA grocery. You can even find services offering boat rentals.

  Very nice campground

  I love this place. It’s located in a unmolested part of Florida. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff. We tent camped and had 3 tents on one spot without feeling cramped.

  Very family friendly.

  Elevated Florida with a view

  During the week of 7/19/2020 I spent 2 nights at this unique state park. After settling in I found the view out of my back dinette windows to be unlike any I had ever seen in Florida. Futher exploration found even better views from the bluff over the Apalachicola River and wooded expanses. Just keep an eye open for bears and snakes as this is true Florida wilderness.

  Great State Park

  A Florida State Park that reminds us of the foothills of North Carolina except for the occasional palm tree. Toured the Gregory House a cotton plantation house that was moved across the river by the CCC. We made a trip into Chattahoochee, FL for lunch and a look at the Jim Woodruff Dam where The Chattahoochee, Apalachicola and Flint Rivers converge.

  Ochlockonee River State Park Campground

  Beautiful, peaceful

  We LOVED this campground. It’s now one of our favorites in Florida. Campground is lovely, with live oak trees providing ample shade and privacy. Trail network connects directly to the campground so you can just walk right out onto the trails. River is serene with lots of tiny beaches along it. Trails go along river and through pine tree forest with prairie grasses. Rangers encourage campers to limit outdoor lights at night and the stars are amazing. Our site was tricky to back into but beautiful once we got in. Avoid site 11 - not much space or privacy. Others all looked great. Yummy BBQ restaurant (Hamahockers) nearby in Crawfordville along with groceries etc. Beautiful, remote campground in nature. Love it! We will return!

  Perry KOA

  Not bad not great

  As we have been full-timing since August we see a big difference between KOA “Holidays.” We don’t plan too far ahead. This has not been a problem until we got to Florida this month. This KOA had availability so we booked it. The good:The staff is very nice. We asked to change sites and they did so no problem. The sites in the back are nice and well spaced between each site. The bad:The pool and spa had worms in them. They probably drop in from the trees but the staff needs to maybe do a better job vacuuming them out. There is also not a lot to do in the town of Perry but that is certainly not the fault of the KOA.

  Ochlockonee River State Park Campground

  Peaceful and small park

  I live near Ochlockonee River SP and I really enjoy it for day use and camping. Camp sites are indeed close and some sites might be hard for trailers, campers, or RVs but I have no problems with my SUV and tent. Is it miserable in April - September? I wouldn’t know because I stay far away from forests in the Florida summer! You will certainly experience mosquitoes and deer flies if you do go in the warmer months, which isn’t the park’s fault but be warned. I love the Ochlockonee River - it’s very serene. There is a boat ramp and fishing spots as well as a campfire circle, benches along trails, and places to walk along the river. The flatwoods trail is often very wet and you may need at least knee-high boots to get through it. I usually bring tall water boots everywhere but I can see how it’d be disappointing if you didn’t have any on you and couldn’t hike far! There are indeed white squirrels and deer, and lots of deer in general! Bathrooms were pretty clean and everything was functional. They also have a little library with books to read! They have a dumpster and dump station for holding tanks. I had good phone and LTE service as a Verizon user. Sopchoppy is indeed basically non-existent. It has gas but come prepared with other essentials. No major complaints about the park other than it’s a little small! Love it though!

  White sands on the Ochlockonee River

  This is a pretty nice campground. It is flat and sandy, with lots of palms and shrubbery dividing most spaces. We tent camped, but there were hammock posts at our site, as well as the usual fire ring and picnic table, and a water spigot. Our site was very roomy. There are tons of sand squirrels here--as soon as we got in, we took to the bath house (nice); when we came back our neighbors had weighted down our food totes as those (really cute, white) squirrels (read: jerks) had already tried to get into our food. I appreciated that the tent camping sites were clumped together so there wasn't an RV right on top of us.

  The campground is right next to the river, which is part of the Ochlockonee River Paddling Trail (the lower part, map 5 I think). There is a very flat walking/biking trail with historical facts posted periodically, which goes around the small park, a swimming area in the river, a playground. Nearby there is another walking trail, for birding. There are no real strenuous activities here, I would say. There is a lot of neat flora and fauna (white deer!). There is also less neat fauna--horse flies. They bite and it hurts like heck. Cover up, with clothing or spray. No sitings of those big reptiles with teeth and dino tails.

  Sopchoppy is the nearest town. There isn't a lot to do here, it's pretty remote. There is at least one fish shack. Head into Apalachicola for oysters, craft beer, beaches, etc.

  Ochlockonee River State Park

  We booked 5 nights and left after one night due to ticks. The campground layout is real bad. We went there to see the white squirrels and white deer.  We saw them and left the next morning. See "RV Camping Journal" for details. We were told that there is only one Albino deer in the park.

  Smaller quiet wilderness campground

  We came to this campground after staying at St George Island state oro to complete a 2 week trip. We read the reviews of the small spaces for big rigs and we confirm it as we arrived.. although it is a fact we still made it with our fifth wheel on campsite#9 designated for a 35’. If the site had the front bushes trimmed out it would make it easier since it’s a curve to back it. But at the end we just back straight and the privacy of it was worth it.. it’s just back of the river and canoeing area and although we got rained at arrival since hurricane Sally approach same day we were able to see what we came for, quiet, peace, small not crowded campsite and got to see very close the unique white squirrel. Rangers at main gate were very friendly and gave us great information and tips due to heavy rain and winds expected due to hurricane Sally approaching same night. We walk thru a couple of trials and everything was well maintained. Also used the women’s restroom and although is not new the toilet and sink areas were really cleaned and the toilet paper was actually of a great quality. ( impressive knowing this to be badly rated restrooms). The tide creek Picnic Shelter is well maintained , lots of parking and there is a lot to do if you bring the kids including swings and slides. Canoeing, fishing, fire rings and all the uniqueness of the palmetto bushes and oak trees. If you like to be alone in the woods and no heavy city population this is the park to come. Did not got to enjoy the stars because of all the rain from hurricane path. We never experimented any bad winds during this Hurricane situation and the rain went so well for our taste of resting before heading back to our 7 hour trip back home. And yes looking forward to come again but will try other better sites for our fifth wheel now I know which they are.

  Small, quiet, and the best of nature

  Lots of trees and hiking paths along the river, etc. Boat, kayak, fish, or just chill at your site. In my opinion, the sits are best for small/mad size campers but there were several big guys in the campground. Bathrooms were clean and lots of hot water. We had site #15.

  Small sites, Friendly Neighbors

  1/29/2021 This campground is spotless. Concrete pads are level and electrical hookup looks new. Our truck camper fits perfectly, but big rigs are a tight fit.

  Although many sites are close together we found the other campers to be friendly, and interesting conversations abounded.

  We saw the white squirrels. On our walk through the nature trails we saw a doe (not the resident white deer).

  We were only able to get one night because the campground was full.

  Great camping g on the forgotten coast

  Camped here for two weeks in July of 2019. Very nice clean campground. Boasts a herd of dappled deer and white squirrels. Not albino but white with a small patch of gray on top of their head. Supposedly brought here by a gypsie from Spain.they were trapped on a game preserve smuggled here by said gypsie. They are not found anywhere but the park area. Very good fishing and a very relaxing place.

  Beautiful quiet place.

  My site was part of a cluster of sites suitable for bigger rigs, enough room to maneuver into even though the park has very tight dirt roads. Site has partial shade but is open to the others around it. Would be good for buddy site. Each site has what appears to be hammock clothes line and hammock poles. ATT was consistent with 2 bars LTE

  Beautiful and Quiet

  We had site #29, which was at the end of the loop and near the road and dumpster, but it was nice in that you don't really have neighbors at that spot.

  We looked and looked but we never saw the white deer or the white squirrels.

  Beautiful campground and park with nice walking trails and water views. Nice free hot showers.

  Good cell reception.

  Sites have power and water and there is a dump station near the entrance.

  With taxes and fees it came to about $30/night.
