Coe Landing Campground – Leon County Parks & Recreation
Nice and quiet in nature, by a lake.
25 campgrounds with availability this weekend
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."
"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."
from $28 - $35 / 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."

from $9 - $18 / 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."

"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."
from $25 - $35 / night
"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!"
"Right on Lake Talquin"
"No hiking around there, just walking along the boat docks and board walk. It's in a residential neighborhood so you could walk around there."
"Most of the sites have a beautiful lake view. All sites have water spigots with drinkable water but no electricity."
"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."

Nice and quiet in nature, by a lake.
Not the best place for a family for an extended stay. Bath and showers are outdated and just a weird feeling there. Dirt lots and just not for me.
Full hook ups, big rig friendly. The hosts were extremely helpful and nice. Laundry room was great $2 a load with 2 washers and 2 dryers. Perfect stop to re group. Great location near gas, groceries and clothing stores
This has to be one of the most peaceful campgrounds we’ve been to. It’s very quiet and dark at night. The bathhouse was really clean and spacious. Our site is perfect with unobstructed water views. We were able to do the trails and ride our bikes on the road.
We stopped at the entrance, but no one was in there. Luckily a nice gentleman was coming in and said for us to follow him in. Rangers are at another office within the campground from 9:00-9:30 and 4:00-4:30. We went over in the afternoon to check in.
Well kept campground. Paved roads. The loop C has a concrete parking pads. Gravel picnic table area with a fire pits and bbq stand. Well kept grass. Very shallow water off bank. We have camped here before and had a local five foot alagator that hung around. But I didn't see it this time. Spent a couple days. Has a few restaurants just a few miles. The park is in eastern time. A couple miles west is Central time. So my phone said eastern..my wife's phone read central. The shower house and restroom combo is very dated and needed some paint and rust removal. Didn't check out the other restroom. Don't plan on fishing...water very shallow and weeds. The sunsets are fantastic.
It’s small park. Big rigs will have trouble getting around the drive. A huge class A did come in and park at the front though. For our rig (F150& 20’Catina it’s just fine. It’s on a very nice lake . Sites have water and electric and a dump station on the way out. Quiet, nice people and apparently good fishing.
We stopped here due to Hurricane Isaias to get out of the cone. We were trying to get to Lake City but werent going to make it in time so we pulled up to the resort after hours and they had a late night number to call. The process for getting a spot after hours was so seamless and they were very helpful. Especially considering we pulled in during the middle of a storm. Unfortunantley, due to the tropical storm, a tree branch took out the electricity that night. However, the manager already had someone coming to restore power that morning and they were so nice and helpful. We didnt get to see the facilities due to no power being on but the place seemed very peaceful and well maintenainced. The parking spaces are pretty tight. We had to squeeze between a large tree and the neighboring camper. So if your not experienced or comfortable parking your camper yet I would definently rent a pull-through vs a back-end. But otherwise great site and friendly staff!
So we didn't actually stay here. We were at another campsite that was 30 minutes away with higher reviews. However, we stopped by to check this place out on our way to the Florida Caverns and we really wished we would of stayed here! This place was amazing. And the convenience of the gas station and corner store in walking distance plus all of the activities they had for kids. We surely would of enjoyed this place. And the view of the water and ability to fish and kayak were an added plus. Our kids were disappointed in me for not choosing this one. Definently keeping it saved for the next time we go though. And it was only 10 minutes from the Florida Caverns and close to several stores and not to far off Highway 10. There was plenty of spots and cabins when we went in October and spacious and not over-crowded.
Think The Dyrt forgot to mention that this site is for 50 years and older. My family and I were effected by Hurricane Isaias and were looking for a RV resort that hadn't lost power. We explained the situation to the resort manager and although we are in our 40s with 3 kids, they were very welcoming of us and so friendly. Mr. Glen, the owner, was a great person and I shared great conversation with him about his life. The view from the resort is amazing. Acres of land in a sloping hillside with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Small 4ft pool and very spacious and clean bathrooms and clubhouse. It SOOOO peaceful and quiet out here . I went along a trail that they have to read and watch the sunrise and was welcomed by deers that roam the land. This was a very gorgeous spot and I'll likely return in 9 years after I hit the age requirements to enjoy again😁. But we were so grateful for them being so accomodating given our circumstance.
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."
