Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park
Beautiful hideaway
Nice small campground far from highway, very quiet
Camping areas around Quincy in northern Florida center on Lake Talquin, offering both primitive and developed options. High Bluff Campground in Lake Talquin State Forest provides tent and RV sites with lake views and fishing access. Nearby, Williams Landing Campground features tent and RV sites with water access, while Coe Landing Campground offers full hookup options. Several private facilities including Beaver Lake Campground and Ingram's Marina & Campground provide cabin rentals along with traditional camping areas.
Many campgrounds in the Lake Talquin region require advance reservations, particularly during peak fishing seasons. Access roads vary in quality, with some campgrounds like High Bluff requiring travel on dirt roads that remain passable for most vehicles. Summer months bring high temperatures, humidity, and mosquitoes, making spring and fall more comfortable for tent camping. Most developed sites offer basic amenities like picnic tables and fire rings, while hookup availability varies significantly between campgrounds. As one visitor noted, "It's a very very clean and quiet campground! The lake is nice and it is easy to get to. I had great cell service while I was there."
The fishing opportunities represent a primary draw for many campgrounds in the region. Sites near the lake typically feature boat ramps or fishing piers with opportunities to view wildlife including alligators. Campground density varies, with some properties offering spacious, well-separated sites while others place campsites in closer proximity. The campground at Goat House Farm provides a unique experience where visitors camp alongside farm animals. Several visitors mentioned the quiet atmosphere as a major benefit, particularly on weekdays when boat traffic is reduced. A camper described Williams Landing as "a beautiful area with a friendly campground host, well maintained bathrooms. The sites are pull thru, which was nice as I am still not that great at backing up my little trailer."
$28 - $35 / night
"Nice, small campground at edge of lake. Beautiful views. Everyone friendly."
"It’s tucked away surrounding by lake. Extremely quiet! Woke up early to see the sunrise and it was the icing on the cake :) even witnessed a gator swimming! The showers aren’t too bad."
$9 / night
"A nice quiet campground (on weeknight) not far from the interstate, was quite pretty for a morning walk. Lake and fishing pier makes it a more enjoyable stop compared to many FL campgrounds."
"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."
$14 - $50 / night
"This is a great COE campground on Florida Georgia border. Everyone here was so friendly. Sites are large but very open. Three camping loops. We stayed in C 17."
"Get a lakeside site if you can for the most spectacular views. I thought I saw on their website that they had laundry facilities, but no, just a room with plumbing that should go to machines."
$45 / night
$16 - $50 / 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."
"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."
"Quiet and peaceful next to beautiful lake."
$9 - $18 / night
"Three wonderful loop trails 2 primitive camp sites and a great view through the trees."
"Fetch your own water from the lake. No modern amenities. Brilliant view of Lake Talquin, right on the water. Thickly treed so hanging hammocks and bear lines was no problem."
"I would have given 5 stars, but we lost water pressure in the morning, and there were hunting dogs on location that barked quite a bit. Those are the only complaints! Everything else is outstanding!"












Nice small campground far from highway, very quiet
This was our first time at Ho Hum, and we weren’t sure what to expect. We’ve stayed at places with higher and lower end amenities. Ho Hum was at the middle-lower end of amenities, but everything they had was very nice. Pulling into the park, you could assume that it was aged and might not be a great place, and the many RV’s can look a bit haphazard. But once we were hear for a few days, you could see that people have created some great spaces for themselves. Several multi-family camping situations, and it was great to hear the children running around and playing.
We reserved a waterfront site for our Class Super-C. The site was nice and well cared for; freshly raked, no trash. Only suggestion I would give the owners is to enforce that all waterfront lots of forward pull-in only. We had two neighbors that backed in, with us being frontward facing; therefore, our two outside areas ended up being right next to each other with little privacy.
The waterfront was really nice. On some days, you could see fish jumping and we saw schools of dolphins moving fairly close to shore and along the horizon. On a different day, we saw a shark trolling the shore about 50 feet out.
The central area was always well groomed and freshly raked, and the staff were super nice. The restrooms, although a bit rustic and aged were always clean and welcoming.
We stayed over Easter weekend, and the staff did a small Easter egg hunt with prizes, candy and pastries.
This park is located about 4.5 miles away from Carrabelle, and you can get most of the groceries you need and some select dining. There was also a great fish market at Millinder’s. We got some red fish, snapper and shrimp there…delicious.
This was a really nice, relaxing place. The roads, during weekdays, weren’t terribly -bike/e-bike friendly, but on the weekend, I was able to ride up Morality Road toward the prison, turned right and came back through the forest road, which was easily passable on an e-bike with 2” tires.
Spaces are tight, all gravel and uneven
Seminole State Park was completely renovated for 2026. We recently visited in February as they were preparing for the grand reopening.
This is a gorgeous park with lots of things to do; fishing, boating, a sandy beach, fishing pier, with boat ramps, and kayak and canoe rentals to name a few. Miniature golf is also available for a fee.
As well as a completely renovated campground with new bathhouses, there is also cabin rentals should that better serve your stay.
All located on Lake Seminole. We were truly impressed and making plans for an extended visit.
Usually I’m a boondocker, but if I need to stay at a private RV place, this place is one of the nicest.
Nothing special, pit toilet, great boondocking spot, $3 nightly fee
Stayed in the area with campsites 28-40, I was in Campsite #38 with my 26' travel trailer. Most other campsites for tents only. Drive in was good with flat sandy roads, not too bumpy. The setting is beautiful among tall pines and saw palmetto. Only one bathroom, having a 1 toilet and sink with low water pressure and a shower. Fairly clean. Had electric at my campsite, but no water.
Website says "non-potable water available nearby", but it was not clear where. I found a two taps on the neighboring campsite, but they were not labeled if the water was potable or not.
Walking trails from the campite were not apparent, but I walked some of the many flat sandy forest service roads. Came during early spring migration for songbirds, and heard Northern Parula and resident white-eyed vireos, but the weather was not prime for fall outs. Had a few 80+ F days in late March, but otherwise beautiful weather. Loved the sound of the breeze in the trees. I would come again but with my fresh tank filled to meet my needs.
On Saturday my neighbor had their music playing a little too loud, but other than that I enjoyed a quiet stay.
Stayed on C 31. Easy parking for my fifth wheel. Right on the water. Breezy & full sunshine, no tree shade. Beautiful sunset! Grass needed to be mowed, and park attendant warned of Argentine ants (gave me a flyer with suggestions to protect against them). I spray my contact points anyway with bug spray, and saw rigs with bluish powder sprinkled around tires. Level concrete pad. Picnic table weathered & rough. Park was 75% full.
I travel in a toyota sedan so I was a bit worried about taking the dirt road. From the blacktop, it’s about 2 miles of bumpy dirt road. My car had no trouble playing go-cart, but wouldn’t come through here in the rain. Otherwise, will be back if I’m in Northern FL.
I stayed in a tent and had no trouble finding a flat area with good drainage. Stakes were easy to set in the ground and held well.
Camped for one night with just two other campers. Very quiet and great view of the stars.
Decent cell service for Verizon, was even able to stream.
Bring a book or plan for some quiet meditation as there’s no trails or much to explore. Great place to stop for the night before heading down to the keys.
Grab food and supplies before entering the National Forest. If you poop, bury it unless you want to lull critters to your campsite (: No trash available so plan ahead.
I heard mourning doves, Carolina wrens, and Cardinals before the sunset and fell asleep to the southern frog chorus.
Lake Talquin serves as the main attraction for camping spots near Quincy, Florida, situated about 18 miles west of Tallahassee. The region features rolling hills with elevation changes not commonly found in Florida, ranging from 100 to 200 feet above sea level. Summer temperatures frequently exceed 90°F with high humidity, while winter nights can drop into the 30s, creating variable camping conditions throughout the year.
Hiking trails and wildlife viewing: Fort Braden Tract in Lake Talquin State Forest offers three loop trails with elevation changes unusual for Florida hiking. "A fantastic stay over all. About a mile hike in. Primitive, which is exactly what we wanted. Fetch your own water from the lake. No modern amenities. Brilliant view of Lake Talquin, right on the water," reports Edward W.
Water activities: Fishing remains the primary recreational activity at many campgrounds. At Coe Landing Campground, visitors find good fishing access. "Remote site with great fishing. Did some car camping here in March and it was already hot and full of mosquitos. The sites are huge and far from each other. Big dock with heavy day (and evening and early morning) use from serious fisherman," notes Dan X.
Wildlife observation: Many campers report wildlife encounters, particularly alligators. At High Bluff Campground, Tucker B. remarks, "Caught a beautiful sunset over the lake and saw a massive gator hanging out by the fishing pier. The gator was back in the morning as I was enjoying my cup of coffee out on the pier!"
Spacious waterfront sites: Most campers appreciate the water access and views. At Eastbank Campground, Terry P. notes, "Lakefront, open, grassy campground with scattered trees that provide partial shade for many sites. Very friendly and helpful staff. Old, but clean restrooms. Nice views of lake and great sunsets."
Quiet atmosphere: Many campgrounds offer peaceful settings, especially midweek. "We enjoyed our time here. Nice, small campground at edge of lake. Beautiful views. Everyone friendly. Great hiking with huge trail network at Fort Braden on adjacent property," shares Kathy L. about Coe Landing.
Budget-friendly options: The region offers affordable camping compared to more developed areas. Ted H. from Eastbank describes, "Very pleasant with a lakeside view. Our site didn't have any shade but the adjoining site, with friends, had plenty. Sites were absolutely level with gravel. Plenty of room between and little noise."
Road conditions vary: Access roads to some campgrounds present challenges. At High Bluff Campground, Sebastian L. advises, "The last 3 miles are dirt road, but in good condition as long as you can stay in the middle without traffic."
Insects can be intense: Mosquitoes and other insects are prevalent, particularly during warmer months. Jacqueline F. at Coe Landing warns, "The only thing that is a downfall are the mosquitoes and gnats, but it is what it is when surrounded by the beauty of nature here."
Primitive sites require preparation: Some campgrounds lack basic amenities. Joey S. from High Bluff Campground cautions, "For a 26" tt the spot was just enough, a little rough to back into. Entirely worth it. If you're looking for a peaceful, quiet place this is it. Be sure to fill your water before arrival as there is no spigot. Full primitive."
Farm animal encounters: Goat House Farm offers unique camping where children interact with animals. "We had such a fun time camping at the goat farm. Where you literally camp with goats. The male goats hang out right beside you and your tents. The kids absolutely loved it," shares Abby.
Pull-through sites: Williams Landing has sites better suited for families less experienced with backing trailers. Dawna J. explains, "The sites are pull thru, which was nice as I am still not that great at backing up my little trailer. They are all on a grade so leveling out was a fun experience."
Monitored swimming areas: Not all water access points are safe for swimming due to alligators. Alycia P. from High Bluff Campground advises, "I don't recommend swimming in the water, its pretty murky. Nice and shady spots and you can reserve ahead of time."
Site selection considerations: Ed and Bernice's Fish Camp offers unique covered spaces for RVs. "The RV and Campground is small with eight covered spaces and room for some limited tent camping. Four of the covered spaces are right on the bank of the river with fishing available as well as a boat ramp for smaller watercraft," explains Mark S.
Leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the area have uneven sites requiring attention. EMRY H. at Coe Landing notes, "Sites are gravel and some take creative leveling of the rig. Sites 3,4,5 back up to a fence with a private residence on the other side, they are pretty noisy at times."
Limited services: Cell service varies by location and provider. At High Bluff Campground, Sebastian L. reports, "No power, no water, no WiFi, no store. T-Mobile was very good with 300+ Mbps."
