What to do
Hiking trails with wildlife viewing: Torreya State Park Campground features challenging terrain unusual for Florida. "There's a hiking loop called the Great Challenge.

Freshwater fishing opportunities: High Bluff Campground on Lake Talquin provides excellent fishing access. "Right on the lake with pier access and boat ramp- pretty cool spot," notes a camper. The fishing pier attracts anglers targeting bass, crappie, and catfish common to the area's waterways.
Historical exploration: Visit nearby historical sites while glamping close to Sneads, Florida. "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," writes a visitor to Torreya State Park Campground.
What campers like
Lake access for water activities: Three Rivers State Park Campground provides direct water access. "Great smaller campground. Most of the campsites are shaded for those hot months. Several nature trails and easy fishing access. There are a few campsites that sit right on Lake Seminole," explains a camper who appreciates the park's layout.
Clean facilities: Florida Caverns RV Resort maintains well-kept amenities. "Nice campground resort. Within 10 mins to everything you need from Walmart to Hospital. Very nice Clubhouse with a kitchen that can be reserved by guests. Nice pool. Nice laundry room. And a workout room," reports a satisfied visitor.
Unique glamping with animals: For a completely different glamping experience near Sneads, Florida, Goat House Farm offers camping with livestock. "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 an enthusiastic family who enjoyed this unconventional setup.
What you should know
Hurricane recovery impacts: Several area campgrounds continue rebuilding after major storms. "Unfortunately, due to hurricane Michael last year, 80% of their trees were destroyed. Camp host, Art, was wonderful! Loved the park, near the water. Very peaceful," explains a Three Rivers State Park visitor regarding the ongoing recovery process.
Access road conditions: Some campgrounds have challenging entry roads. "The road in is very rough and rugged, but was completely manageable if you just go slowly (and weave a bit to avoid the huge holes)," notes a camper at Seminole State Park Campground.
Limited amenities at primitive sites: High Bluff Campground offers more rustic accommodations. "Be sure to fill your water before arrival as there is no spigot. Full primitive. The vault toilet is pretty gnarly. Still a lovely place to stay," advises a camper who appreciated the solitude despite basic facilities.
Tips for camping with families
Wildlife educational opportunities: High Bluff Campground offers children chances to observe wildlife safely. "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!" reports an excited visitor who enjoyed this natural spectacle.

Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: At Omussee Creek Park, choose your site carefully. "The campgrounds are about 15 acres of pretty flat land with some decent brush around it, complete with typical 30/50 amp electrical, water and sewage hookups. There's only 3 camping sites for tents all have fire pits with picnic tables," explains a visitor who surveyed the options.
Electrical service reliability: Three Rivers State Park has occasional electrical issues. "We stayed in spot 13 and the circuit kept tripping. Both the camp host and ranger from the check in jumped right on the issue and let us use an adapter," reports a camper who appreciated the quick response from staff.
Weather preparedness: RVers should prepare for seasonal storms. "Hard to do a fair overall review as we had tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms with buckets of rain most of the time. Our fire pit was under water," shares a visitor who experienced challenging weather while glamping close to Sneads, Florida at Three Rivers State Park.
