Blue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park

Caverns and trails are a must. Ran out of time to kayak. Campsite was nice and clean, and campground area is very friendly and quiet

Fort Braden Tract - Lake Talquin State Forest
Excellent primitive but not private
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. Thickly treed so hanging hammocks and bear lines was no problem. Brilliant quiet spot, mostly, I’ll get to that in a bit. Even got a visit from your friendly neighborhood alligator in the middle of the night, which when I realized after the fact what the sound was was terrifying. Lol. Steep bank on this sight though so fewer worries about him actually visiting camp. Fabulous spot for fishing and camping. But, and this is the one star off, the camp sites are about 30 feet off the trail. So there is virtually no privacy. Makes… let’s use the euphemism “#2”… a bit challenging. The trail wasn’t heavily trafficked but it was travelled so we had maybe 9 or 10 people pass the site over the course of the weekend. If you can tolerate that I’d say put it on your list.

Nice clean , friendly staff
We stopped in without a reservation. Heading home to central Florida after polar vortex made camping miserable. Spent Christmas Day here. 21 degrees overnight.
Welcomed. Helpful friendly staff.
Starlink best for download & upload Strong download but week upload are both 5G services, T-Mobile and Verizon
Visible was strong enough for tv streaming
David S.TravelerBlue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park
Beautiful Caverns
Stayed here with my wife and two daughters. We enjoyed the cavern tours and the hiking, but we did not take advantage of their kayak rentals during this trip.
The Good:
- Tent only sites were well isolated from the RV sites.
- The tour of the caverns was a lot of fun and very informative.
- beautiful hiking trails.
- clean bathrooms
The Bad:
- Tent only sites do not offer much privacy from your neighbor.
- bathroom leaks in the rain (very slippery floor)
- the firewood sold at the Ranger station was wet, moldy, and would hardly burn.

Cave Exploring
Very well kept RV spot 2 miles south of the main cavern attractions but still within the park and walking distance to the blue hole spring. Not a lot of shade but plenty of space between neighbors. Clean bathrooms and shower facilities. Lots of hiking, biking trails.

Quiet campground nice amenities
Stayed here in one of the 3 tent only sites. Very peaceful and had bath house with shower right near sites. Pavilion also across from sites which was great when it poured rain on us. A little farther is a small spring which allows swimming the kids loved it on hot days to cool off. They also offer canoe and kayak rentals, and of course a tour of the caverns!

Special little State park
What a sweet little campground! Small loop of 32 sites. Plenty of space between sites, although with the hurricane there was very little foliage. We had perfect weather but as it gets warmer you will need the awning and AC. The sites were set up at a 90° angle from the street so very very difficult for anything but tiny rigs to back into on the first try, but we eventually got there with our 24’ trailer. All the sites have FHU but some have an odd placement for the sewer (ours was at the very front of the site by the curb) so either bring long hoses or plan to pull forward and pull the tanks on the way out. Bathhouse was clean and had a great shower and dressing set up with wonderful water pressure. Rangers and hosts were friendly, and there are lots of trails to hike including several right across from the campground with more trailheads at the park Visitors Center. Saw deer and bunnies and heard owls at night! All in all a quaint and QUIET park to relax in nature.

Family friendly calm RV Park
Small campground with very generous spacing between sites. Sites are wide and have full sewage, electric, and water. They also have hammock posts. Bathrooms were heated and are clean. Washer and dryer are available. Camp hosts were awesome and friendly. You can buy firewood from them. The kids love visiting the caverns, museum, and gift shop. Awesome experience!

Great spot
We started off at the rv / tent campground. Not too private but very clean. We moved to tent only site when one was available. Peaceful, clean facilities, hot showers and a firepit. Poles for hammocks too. Helpful staff and firewood on site to purchase 5$

Great park, great restaurants nearby
We stayed here right after it reopened after damage from Hurricane Michael. The newly renovated campground is very nice, with water, electricity, and sewer hookups. The sites are nicely spaced and near a beautiful little lake called the blue hole. The restaurants we are at were delicious. One was Mashawy Grill right near the entrance to the park, and they had the best lamb chops! Then we are at Landshark Restaurant, which was about 13 miles away and had some of the best seafood we’ve ever had and we are used to good seafood as we are from Louisiana. The raw oysters were the best we’ve ever had and the fried crab claws and catfish were perfectly cooked and so good!

Great family experience
Camping with a scout troop & it was awesome even though it rained. The caverns were just incredible & the amenities were great. Plenty of room to roam & setup camp.

Still recovering
The caverns are a must see in this park. Come early before they open as there is a line. The spring is closed as is the campground and some trails due to hurricane damage. The staff are friendly and very well organized. There is a store. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

Crazy 8 Ranch
Very peaceful ranch.
Marcie is the owner of this rescue ranch. She’s just starting out having RV’s come in (we were her 4th). There’s power and water hookups, but no dumping stations yet. She runs a quaint rescue ranch for various animals. At the time we were there (8/14/20) she had 21 horses, a Bantam rooster, two pot bellied pigs (one that looks pregnant), a pregnant goat, a bull and a dairy cow (also pregnant ) and three dogs; one if which was an adorable Great Pyrenees puppy that she saved from deaths door). She also offers guided trail rides in the adjacent state park (we only spent the night, so we did not do that). You really can’t beat it fir $25.00 a night!Note: the road into her ranch is pretty rough and beat up, so use caution and go slowly. Make sure you bring plenty of carrots and apples for the animals! Feeding them was a big highlight of our stay!

Caves in Florida
Only cave in Florida where you can take a tour. I love caves and this was a great tour I was very surprised of the extent of this cave in Florida. There was some pretty good hiking trails and the campground was small but decent. There's a waterway that runs by the campground you can go kayaking.

Caverns, need I say more?
This natural wonder of Florida is amazing. I highly recommend a visit and touring the caverns.

Hot but beautiful
We took this trip mid summer, and it was ridiculously hot. There was no coastal breeze, in fact there was no breeze at all. The playground was nice but the equipment was too hot to touch.
Luckily we cooled off in the Blue Hole... which, let me warn you, is ICE cold all year long. It felt amazing and the kids loved it!
There are a few hiking trails that are nice, including one with a cave tunnel. The cave itself is wonderfully cool, and although it isn’t very big, it is still quite beautiful. It was easy to navigate for those that are looking to see what a cave looks like without the full crawling and spelunking experience.
The little shop at the cave tours was well stocked (including ice cream!). There is also a museum that gives lots of information about the cave and the area in general; on Sunday they had a reptile/wildlife presentation.
The restrooms were large and clean. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Overall would definitely go back... just during a different time of year!

Need to go back
This beautiful, and historic Park is one I'd like to revisit. My husband and I spent only one night there, as a pit stop along a long drive between South Florida and Texas.
We were so impressed with the beautiful nature around us. Admittedly, we didn't have time to go into the caverns this trip, and therefore need to go back when we can. We did get to hike around the grounds a bit, and enjoyed every minute of it.
We chose a tent site, which required a very short hike from our car. This is the first time we had done that, and although the city side of us may worry around our car and it's contents, it sure made us feel more in the woods than we were. It was quiet and beautiful, having a campfire surrounded by nothing but sky-high trees.
They did experience damage from Hurricane Michael, but I plan on revisiting once things are repaired!
Angela B.TravelerBlue Hole Campground — Florida Caverns State Park
Quiet, friendly, clean, and the ranger was extremely nice and helpful.
When plugging into electric, if you need a 20 amp, it is at an angle. It can be easily missed. Ranger was very helpful with issue. lesson learned. Will go back.

Great Campground and a Cave to Explore!
My husband and I were pleasantly surprised at our stay at Florida Caverns State Park. Although not a huge cavern such as Carlsbad or Mammoth, Florida Caverns did not disappoint.
We found plenty to do at the park. We rode our bikes several miles on the many trails in the park and had a blast. Roots and rocks galore...but excellent mountain biking. The campsites are very nice with good bathroom facilities. The swimming hole rocks and the water is crystal clear. So much to do...mountain biking, hiking, swimming, geocaching (we found a cache), kayaking and even horseback riding.
The cave tour was nicely done and we were impressed as there are some nice formations and the trail near the cave was amazing...a short hike that will give you an idea of what a Florida swamp looks like and you can view several sink holes and alternate cave entrances (closed off of course).
Lot's of stuff if you are into horses...stalls, trails, corrals and a horse camp facility...pretty cool!
Another great place to camp for all ages...beautiful, fun and perfect for families with children.
This is "The Real Florida"
Enjoy!

Great!
Great tent campground. Lots of privacy. Water spikes and grill and picnic table on site. The bath house was pretty clean though the shower head wasnt great. They were really close to the tent sites though. There's also a swimming hole right across the street from the tent sites which was also really nice! The caverns were beautiful. Will definitely go back!
