Great location
Usually I’m a boondocker, but if I need to stay at a private RV place, this place is one of the nicest.
Best Campgrounds near Quincy, FL
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."

Womack Creek Campground — Tate's Hell State Forest
Sites are well spaced, lovely setting, potable water questionable
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.

Perfect for Overnight Camp
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.

Buckhorn Hunt Camp
Tent and sedan friendly
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.

Short visit, didn’t stay overnight
Was actually at the spot geocaching, but really like the look of this little campground. And I mean little.
There’s a combination of electric hook ups and non-electric hook ups. It’s all very well kept and clean and organized.
Favoring this one for potential return to actually camp at. Gave this one 4 to 5 stars which is above average for me. But I’ve earned a fifth star if it wasn’t so close to the road with road noise and had been staffed full-time, and had a few more amenities.

High Bluff Campground — Joe Budd WMA and Lake Talquin State Forest
Nice, very simple
This was a quick overnight stay for myself. I arrived a little bit after sunset and left fairly early in the morning.
Stayed at site number 18, which was Lakeside, but all campsites have decent view of lake through the trees. There is a dock and she can walk down to the water itself.
This is a very isolated place, and you have to drive down a dirt road, but very packed, which even sedans can handle no problem, unless it’s been raining that it might get a little slippery
When I stayed, it was 34° so didn’t do a whole lot but get set up in the rooftop tent and sleep. No real issues with Internet, for Verizon, but signal wasn’t super strong.
There is a toilet bathroom that is composting style, without sinks or showers.
But I booked I thought it said electrical, but after I booked, it said no electrical and when I arrived on site, there was a electrical pedestal, looked brand new, but not working. Unknown if they will soon have electricity or not ever used.
For its isolation and quietness and availability, I would definitely return. I don’t have a lot in this area to attend to, but this is a nice spot.
Star count is only down, ranked due to lack of electricity and water, as well as the slightly difficult drive in. That’s a plus for some people, but that’s how I do my star rankings.

Eastbank
Great campground, 2nd visit.
This is the second time we have visited Eastbank, the park is beautiful, staff very helpful and friendly, and bathhouses are clean.
We stayed for a week on site A-01 which is waterfront and loved it. During both our visits the park was not at capacity but was peaceful. The sunsets are not to be missed.
Should you forget anything there are a couple of options within a short drive to Chattahoochee (FL.).
Note that both bathhouses are in loop B, and while not too far are a bit of a walk from the other loops. Also, did not see any playground for the younger campers but all appeared to be having a wonderful time anyway.
Overall, quiet, beautiful, and relaxing.

Nice, clean, and great staff
Great campground. Small with only 30 sites but clean and well maintained. No sewer or wifi. Bit rustic but I enjoyed it. Very much away from everything
Guide to Quincy
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.
What to do
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!"
What campers like
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."
What you should know
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."
Tips for camping with families
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."
Tips from RVers
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."
