GuideNo 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.
GuideThis was a quick overnight stay for myself. I arrived a little bit after sunset and left fairly early in the morning.
Stayed at site number 18, which was Lakeside, but all campsites have decent view of lake through the trees. There is a dock and she can walk down to the water itself.
This is a very isolated place, and you have to drive down a dirt road, but very packed, which even sedans can handle no problem, unless it’s been raining that it might get a little slippery
When I stayed, it was 34° so didn’t do a whole lot but get set up in the rooftop tent and sleep. No real issues with Internet, for Verizon, but signal wasn’t super strong.
There is a toilet bathroom that is composting style, without sinks or showers.
But I booked I thought it said electrical, but after I booked, it said no electrical and when I arrived on site, there was a electrical pedestal, looked brand new, but not working. Unknown if they will soon have electricity or not ever used.
For its isolation and quietness and availability, I would definitely return. I don’t have a lot in this area to attend to, but this is a nice spot.
Star count is only down, ranked due to lack of electricity and water, as well as the slightly difficult drive in. That’s a plus for some people, but that’s how I do my star rankings.
GuideVery small county campground. Went selected for location to bike trails and beaches. Bathhouses were mostly clean but well worn. No personal on site most of the time. Handful of long term people who are friendly.
LegendReagan family working hard to restore this park...waterslide, bounce houses, arcade, pools, disc golf, etc ..they have something for everyone. We love the sites on one of the stocked fishing ponds. On site store fully equiped and great coffee and ice cream. This was first campground we went tent camping in!
ScoutVisited new years eve weekend and the campground was relatively quiet. The vault toilet was well stocked with toilet paper and kept clean, but there was some trash around the campground. The dock on the lake is nice and there were several people fishing. Good location for hunting the surrounding WMAs. The 3 star review is primarily due to the camping spots marked in cross ties are narrow and some spots are difficult to get a larger camper in. I would visit again.
GuideCampground 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. The St. Marks lighthouse is so close and a must see during all times of the day. We visited at least twice, once to walk along the beach and the second time to see the sunset. There are so many beautiful sights in the area. We visited Alligator Point and Bald Point State Park. We saw a bald eagle and so many other species of birds. I will return. The host was gracious and very informative. They did have some trouble with the restrooms, they were closed for a short time when we arrived and closed again before we left. However, we did use the showers and the bathhouse was clean when it was operational. I would recommend this camp if you are exploring the area and there is a lot to explore.
ScoutNice 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.
LegendCalled ahead and booked a tent site at this county campground.
Brian and Betty were the hosts (BnB!). Brian was very nice on the phone and didn't even come around to collect $!
In fairness, I was there for a short time and dropped the appropriate fare by the door of their RV on my way out.
Nice bathroom facilities gave me the chance to clean up.
There's a boat ramp within walking distance if you've got one!
GuideWas actually at the spot geocaching, but really like the look of this little campground. And I mean little.
There’s a combination of electric hook ups and non-electric hook ups. It’s all very well kept and clean and organized.
Favoring this one for potential return to actually camp at. Gave this one 4 to 5 stars which is above average for me. But I’ve earned a fifth star if it wasn’t so close to the road with road noise and had been staffed full-time, and had a few more amenities.

Limited amenities at primitive sites: Some campgrounds in the area offer minimal facilities. "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. The vault toilet is pretty gnarly," advises Joey S. about High Bluff Campground.
Cell service variability: Connectivity can be unreliable in the more remote camping areas near Wacissa. "There is close zero cell reception and they have wifi but we really weren't able to connect and use it. Very spotty," reports Ashlee R. about her stay at Ragan Family Campground.
Wildlife presence: Expect to encounter native Florida wildlife, particularly in waterfront locations. "Fishing dock is nice and you can see lots of gators.

"The 3 star review is primarily due to the camping spots marked in cross ties are narrow and some spots are difficult to get a larger camper in," notes Stacie R. about High Bluff Campground, suggesting advanced planning for RV site selection.
Road conditions: Access roads to more remote campgrounds may require careful driving.
