    Three Rivers State Park Campground

    A Great Florida State Park

    Small, well maintained park and sites, with 30/50 amp and water hook ups. A pleasant surprise when we arrived, after miles of rural driving! GPS took us the correct way, but seemed we were lost! Staff greeted us at entrance, gave us a map and explained how to get to our site. It was raining, and our site was back-in and downhill, mostly level with gravel, a picnic table, has a fire-ring with grill grate. Bathhouse is clean and impressed how the trash area and dump station were placed away from campers. The dock/pier, and boat ramp, are at the back part of the campground, The amenities are nice and there is outdoor cleaning sink behind the bathhouse, sitting area overlooking the river, the fish cleaning station, fire pit area, trails, and canoe/kayak drying area. 3 concrete sites, as well as tent sites. Lots of spacing between most of the sites, some are waterfront. Wildlife is plentiful and the trails are a great way to enjoy it all! We will come back! And it’s only $20 a night!

    High Bluff Campground — Joe Budd WMA and Lake Talquin State Forest

    Nice site

    No complaints about this site; plenty of campsites to pick from even with about 6 other campers; space to spread out from others. Good for primitive tent camping. Had a fire pit with grill and picnic table. 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.

    Seminole State Park Campground

    Gem of a campground!

    This was our second trip to Seminole State Park and it was even better than the first. We had a beautiful lake view on a huge pull through site! Site was spotless, including the fire pit. Bath house was super clean and always stocked. The grounds were beautifully kept. We had fun walking the nature trail and saw signs of deer and raccoons and enjoyed listening to the birds from our site. We had a very strong cell signal and 30 OTA channels so that was a pleasant surprise. We will absolutely be back!

    Nature lover’s paradise

    Wonderful state park in South Georgia! 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. Great fire pit and grill combo along with a large and sturdy picnic table. The hiking trail just reopened and was an easy 2 miles. Tons of animal tracks to look for and identify! The playground close to the camping loop is nearly complete and looks super fun for the Littles. Bathhouse was brand new and showers were hot. Definitely coming back!

    Rough road in, biased by terrible weather

    Have waited six months into our RV life to start reviews for fair comparisons. Stayed 2 nights in 35 foot RV+tow car at$22/night. 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). 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. But the weather cleared somewhat on the last day, great hiking trails, some along the water, but of course very muddy from the storm. Fabulous birding including bald eagle nests. Bathrooms clean. Sites very close together with no privacy.

    Torreya State Park Campground

    Nice spot in a quiet part of Florida's panhandle

    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. The sites aren't very private, but there aren't many and folks seem to keep to themselves. 

    The bathrooms are small but decent and well-maintained, and there are 30-amp electric and water on each site. Another nice feature is a very clean laundry area. It only has one washer and dryer, but the campground is small enough that doesn't seem to be a problem. 

    Nearby trails, some accessible right from the campground, also make this a good spot to use as a basecamp if you want to get out and explore some of Florida's natural beauty. Also, Gregory House is an 1850s plantation home that you can visit for a guided tour and is within walking distance of the campground.

    Torreya State Park Campground

    The Great Challenege

    There’s a hiking loop called the Great Challenge. It’s so difficult, meandering up and down in elevation for 9 miles, that you may give up. Camping is grand— so much wildlife. If you’re lucky you may be able to see a panther or an indigo snake. The campgrounds used to be lush but Hurricane Irma really did a number of the vegetation. However, it doesn’t take away from the enjoying the doors. The river is nearby and across the river allows hunting so you may hear hunters. If you come in from the river and try to camp, make sure it hasn’t rained a lot which could make hiking up to a campsite challenging. They have both dispersed campsites and drive-up.

    Torreya State Park Campground

    Cleanest bathroom I’ve ever seen, including my own

    I wish I could give this park 6 stars! We camped on a quiet weekend in September and had the place mostly to ourselves. Two small bathhouses and both were spotless (I mean actually WITHOUT SPOTS, cleanest I’ve ever seen). The grounds were well kept and not a piece of trash in sight. They had aluminum can recycling which is always a plus! Tons and tons of trails, some more used than others but all well marked. History fans will enjoy the Gregory House and Civil War trail exhibit. Staff was AMAZING and super welcoming! We will be back!

    Three Rivers State Park Campground

    Small and quite.

    Small campground (and I don't know why). Sites are small and very close together. It has showers, trash and on site park host. The camp is right on the water (nice). The boat launch fishing peer and fish cleaning station are a short walk.


Guide to Tallahassee

Tallahassee camping options extend beyond the city limits into diverse ecosystems that transition from pine flatwoods to cypress swamps. The region sits at elevations between 100-200 feet above sea level, creating some surprisingly hilly terrain for Florida. Weather conditions remain mild year-round, with summer temperatures averaging in the high 80s and winter lows rarely dropping below 40°F, making yurt camping near Tallahassee an option in all seasons.

What to do

Wildlife viewing at Lake Seminole: Lake Seminole offers excellent wildlife spotting opportunities, especially for bird enthusiasts. At Seminole State Park Campground, visitors report impressive sightings. One camper noted, "Great for swimming, boating, fishing, and kayaking. Very quiet and peaceful. Great camp hosts. Very clean bathrooms and showers."

Hiking diverse terrain: The area features unusual elevation changes for Florida. Torreya State Park Campground offers challenging trails with serious inclines. A reviewer warns, "There's a hiking loop called the Great Challenge. It's so difficult, meandering up and down in elevation for 9 miles, that you may give up." The park sits on 130-foot bluffs overlooking the Apalachicola River.

Fishing opportunities: Fishing spots abound near Tallahassee. At Lake Talquin, anglers catch bass, crappie, and catfish. A visitor to High Bluff Campground shared, "This campground was a nice surprise. We reserved the very same day an there were several spots available. $17 per night with all fees included. Very quiet. It looks like most people go there to fish."

What campers like

Primitive camping experience: Campers appreciate the remote, quiet options available. One camper at High Bluff Campground described it as "Super quiet and lonely. You have to love the lonelyness here. On the weekend there have been three other parties with tents. From Sunday to Monday we have been the only ones."

Yurt accommodations: For those seeking shelter beyond traditional tents, Tallahassee-area yurt camping provides comfortable alternatives. A visitor to Newport Park Campground commented on their accommodations: "Campground was nice and quiet. A little traffic noise but not too bad. It had a boat dock and pier to observe the St. Marks River."

Budget-friendly options: Many sites offer affordable rates. At Three Rivers State Park, a camper noted, "This is another example of why I just love our state parks here in Florida. Campground is set up on the river. Great small boat and kayak access right at the campgrounds. Lots of great trails for hiking. Sites are a little closer then most SPs I have visited but for the price of this one at 16 a night we will totally be back."

What you should know

Limited amenities at remote sites: Many primitive camping areas lack basic facilities. A High Bluff camper advised, "No power, no water, no WiFi, no store. T-Mobile was very good with 300+ Mbps. The last 3 miles are dirt road, but in good condition as long as you can stay in the middle without traffic."

Seasonal pest considerations: Insects can be problematic during warmer months. At Three Rivers State Park Campground, a visitor shared: "Small campground (and I don't know why). Sites are small and very close together. It has showers, trash and on site park host. The camp is right on the water (nice). The boat launch fishing peer and fish cleaning station are a short walk."

Wildlife encounters: Alligators and other wildlife are common in the area. A camper at High Bluff Campground reported, "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!"

Tips for camping with families

Unique experiences: Consider alternative camping experiences like Goat House Farm, where a family reported, "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. They cried when it was time to leave and told all the animals bye."

Clean facilities: Sites with good bathroom facilities make family camping easier. A visitor to Seminole State Park noted, "Bath house was super clean and always stocked. The grounds were beautifully kept. We had fun walking the nature trail and saw signs of deer and raccoons and enjoyed listening to the birds from our site."

Child-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with accessible recreation. Another Seminole State Park camper mentioned, "The playground close to the camping loop is nearly complete and looks super fun for the Littles. Bathhouse was brand new and showers were hot."

Tips from RVers

Site spacing: RV sites vary significantly in size and proximity. A Three Rivers State Park camper advised, "Sites are small and very close together. It has showers, trash and on site park host. The camp is right on the water (nice)."

Road conditions: Access roads to some campgrounds require caution. A visitor noted, "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)."

Water views: Several campgrounds offer waterfront parking. A Holiday Campground visitor recommended, "Nice little CG on the bay with a good number of direct bayfront sites. Some with pine trees for shade. Clean bathrooms. Swimming pool. Small market/general store within walking distance."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average cost of glamping in Tallahassee compared to traditional camping?

High Bluff Campground provides more affordable options with lake access, pier facilities, and boat ramps, though with fewer luxury amenities. The price difference reflects additional comforts, hookups, and prime locations that glamping sites offer over basic camping experiences.

Are there yurts for rent in the Tallahassee area?

While traditional Mongolian-style yurts are limited in the immediate Tallahassee area, alternative structure rentals can be found within driving distance.

For those willing to travel a bit further, some state parks in the broader North Florida region have begun introducing canvas-walled structures and cabin rentals that provide the glamping experience similar to yurts.
