"Clean bathrooms. Swimming pool. Small market/ general store within walking distance."
"A little traffic noise but not too bad. It had a boat dock and pier to observe the St. Marks River. The St. Marks lighthouse is so close and a must see during all times of the day."
"Brian was very nice on the phone and didn't even come around to collect $!
In fairness, I was there for a short time and dropped the appropriate fare by the door of their RV on my way out."
$10 / night
"Had a fire pit with grill and picnic table. Right on the lake with pier access and boat ramp- pretty cool spot. Only lost a star because of previous campers leaving some trash behind."
"A little warm and the bugs are getting ready for the dusk attack. There are gnats and flys during the day but nothing biting….yet"
$9 - $16 / night
"Each spot is so far away from each other that you feel completely secluded, which is nice. We stayed at Pidcock Rd. "
"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. "
$25 - $35 / night

"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."
"However, it doesn’t take away from the enjoying the doors. The river is nearby and across the river allows hunting so you may hear hunters."
"Bathrooms are laid out super nice, clean and comfortable."
No complaints about this site; plenty of campsites to pick from even with about 6 other campers; space to spread out from others. Good for primitive tent camping. Had a fire pit with grill and picnic table. Right on the lake with pier access and boat ramp- pretty cool spot. Only lost a star because of previous campers leaving some trash behind.

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.
There’s a hiking loop called the Great Challenge. It’s so difficult, meandering up and down in elevation for 9 miles, that you may give up. Camping is grand— so much wildlife. If you’re lucky you may be able to see a panther or an indigo snake. The campgrounds used to be lush but Hurricane Irma really did a number of the vegetation. However, it doesn’t take away from the enjoying the doors. The river is nearby and across the river allows hunting so you may hear hunters. If you come in from the river and try to camp, make sure it hasn’t rained a lot which could make hiking up to a campsite challenging. They have both dispersed campsites and drive-up.
I wish I could give this park 6 stars! We camped on a quiet weekend in September and had the place mostly to ourselves. Two small bathhouses and both were spotless (I mean actually WITHOUT SPOTS, cleanest I’ve ever seen). The grounds were well kept and not a piece of trash in sight. They had aluminum can recycling which is always a plus! Tons and tons of trails, some more used than others but all well marked. History fans will enjoy the Gregory House and Civil War trail exhibit. Staff was AMAZING and super welcoming! We will be back!
Super friendly staff, very inviting place with pool, campfires, picnic benches at every site, super clean family friendly bathrooms and showers. It was Easter Sunday when we were there and they invited all children for egg hunting and after egg hunting they did raffle (at no cost) and let kids pick prizes (all prizes were related to outdoor toys or camping related like glow sticks) my oldest son won a grand prize (fishing rod) for collecting most eggs. Basic store inside the office for milk, eggs, and rv related stuff. Clean Laundry room at site. Nice wooded area to roam around, bike, collect woods 🪵for campfire. All sites are not paved but we enjoyed our weekly stay at very reasonable price of $175/week or $500/month. Highly recommend to anyone.
Another reviewer got it right-HOSPITALITY. We rolled in after hours but still were welcomed SO WELL by the owner & given a color print-out map with our receipt/etc. He helped us park & answered our many questions about the flora & fauna. Where we're from magnolia is a sort of decorative shrub- here they stand over 60' tall. Yes,, there are 'tree snakes'. Walk "firmly" to let snakes know you're coming, as its the startled ones that strike. Starting from a field near the barns there's a path leading to a small waterfall by a rise that may be an Native American burial mound. Flat Creek is nice, and clearly on its way to so e improvements also. Map I photographed shows length of today's spaces. Fortunately for us in spot 16,# 21 was open, so the pulling-through was just that. Pads are asphaltish- gravel… we needed to do some slight leveling. We really liked it here! Oh, and its across the way from a fun something we'd read about on the Atlas Obscura - the deadly fast, now illegal sport of Jai-Alai was once played and (bet upon) there.
Fabulous trip. Hiking is awesome in the area. Hiking at the park is a little rugged. Garden of Eden nearby is wonderful. Small, quiet campground. Very clean bathrooms. Sites can be tight and are very close together. Sites 17 and up have great views of the sunset.
Visited new years eve weekend and the campground was relatively quiet. The vault toilet was well stocked with toilet paper and kept clean, but there was some trash around the campground. The dock on the lake is nice and there were several people fishing. Good location for hunting the surrounding WMAs. The 3 star review is primarily due to the camping spots marked in cross ties are narrow and some spots are difficult to get a larger camper in. I would visit again.
There 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.
