What to do
Hiking the dam trail: The trail connecting Georgia to Florida at Eastbank Campground provides a unique cross-state experience. "There was also a trail to the Dam, it took you from Georgia to Florida," shares Joe B., noting the interesting time zone difference: "Once in the campground, your phone will go to central time."
Cave exploration: The limestone caves at Blue Hole Campground offer a rare underground Florida experience. "The cavern tour is worth it," reports Brenda S., while another camper noted, "The caverns are a must see in this park. Come early before they open as there is a line."
Bird watching: The lake environment attracts diverse bird species, including bald eagles. Christina from Eastbank Campground encountered "lots of good bird watching, including bald eagle nests" and also spotted "a few alligators" during her stay.
What campers like
Waterfront sites: Lake access is a primary attraction for Seminole State Park Campground visitors. Jessica O. describes the experience: "Our site was on the water and had beautiful sunset views. Newly renovated after Hurricane Michael, the upper loop had new gravel pads and plenty of space between sites."
Fishing opportunities: The lake system provides excellent fishing options. At River Junction - Lake Seminole, Tami P. notes the campground offers "level sites, nicely spaced and mostly shaded" with "picnic table, fire pit, grill and a fish station at all sites" and is "walking distance to boat ramp and lake access."
Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness ranks high in camper satisfaction. At Three Rivers State Park, a visitor noted, "The bathrooms were very clean" while another mentioned that "camp host went around to check on all new arrivals" showing attentive management.
What you should know
Insect considerations: Summer brings increased bug activity. According to one Eastbank Campground reviewer: "The ANTS and FLYING ROACHES! OMG they almost took over our camper!" The same camper warned, "The dragonflies at a certain time of day are outrageous too!"
Time zone confusion: The Florida-Georgia border creates an unusual time zone situation. Ted H. at Eastbank Campground advises: "It is in the eastern time zone with the dividing line in the middle of the lake" while another camper warns "The gate closes at 10pm EASTERN Time. Once in the campground, your phone will go to central time."
Road conditions: Some parks have challenging access roads. Christina notes that Three Rivers State Park has "a very rough and rugged" road in, though it's "completely manageable if you just go slowly and weave a bit to avoid the huge holes."
Tips for camping with families
Nature education: Wildlife viewing provides learning opportunities. Jessica O. from Seminole State Park Campground recommends the "hiking trail" where there are "tons of animal tracks to look for and identify!" She also mentions the "playground close to the camping loop is nearly complete and looks super fun for the Littles."
Swimming areas: Lake access for swimming varies between campgrounds. Daniel B. found Seminole State Park "great for swimming, boating, fishing, and kayaking" while noting it was "very quiet and peaceful."
Storm preparation: The region experiences severe weather periodically. Christina from Three Rivers State Park recommends preparation for possible 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."
