      Coe Landing Campground – Leon County Parks & Recreation

      This is a perfect kind of park for us.

      It’s small park. Big rigs will have trouble getting around the drive. A huge class A did come in and park at the front though. For our rig (F150& 20’Catina it’s just fine. It’s on a very nice lake . Sites have water and electric and a dump station on the way out. Quiet, nice people and apparently good fishing.

      Hurricane Isaias emergency stop

      We stopped here due to Hurricane Isaias to get out of the cone. We were trying to get to Lake City but werent going to make it in time so we pulled up to the resort after hours and they had a late night number to call. The process for getting a spot after hours was so seamless and they were very helpful. Especially considering we pulled in during the middle of a storm. Unfortunantley, due to the tropical storm, a tree branch took out the electricity that night. However, the manager already had someone coming to restore power that morning and they were so nice and helpful. We didnt get to see the facilities due to no power being on but the place seemed very peaceful and well maintenainced. The parking spaces are pretty tight. We had to squeeze between a large tree and the neighboring camper. So if your not experienced or comfortable parking your camper yet I would definently rent a pull-through vs a back-end. But otherwise great site and friendly staff!

      Buckhorn Hunt Camp

      Free and peaceful

      Camped here with my wife . The ground isn’t hard to get to and the space is open . When we arrived it took only 30min to an hour before a local ranger doing his patrols to greet us and give us a rundown, afterwards we were left alone. Lots of ants but they’re not a huge nuisance

      Ochlockonee River State Park Campground

      Amazing campground, so much to do

      We loved this campground! The sites are beautiful, with lots of vegetation. There are a ton of hiking trails and opportunities to get on the water. The town of Sopchoppy is a short drive and they have a brew pub with great pizza!

      Holiday Campground on Ochlockonee Bay

      Waterfront campground but sites are tight.

      What you see, is what you get! Campsites in this campground are close but that is the tradeoff for being on/near the water. Many campers were seasonal and very settled in. We stayed here to see the area and enjoy the great seafood and natural areas. Our site (#69) was very close to our neighbors but easy to back into. The prime sites are riverfront with nice views and a little more space. There is a small pool and a community pavilion with picnic tables. Waterfront firepits and a fishing pier are nice amenities. Campsites are crushed gravel and level. Our site backed up to another RV (which was really close) and was in full sun. Some sites are more shaded but they all looked like seasonal sites.  Barking dogs seemed to be a common theme that nobody cared about but us. The site was level and the water, electric, water, and sewer were in a good location. The wifi tower was next to our campsite and worked very well and our Verizon phone and hotpot worked well. We enjoyed exploring Bald Point and Wakulla State Parks. Across the street is Angelo’s Seafood Restaurant which came highly recommended. We ate there twice and really enjoyed the food and sunset views.

      Tallahassee RV Park

      Good location, decent campground

      This campground is convenient to downtown Tallahassee with easy access on and off I-10 to the east of the city. The campground itself is decent– nothing special but we were there to see friends in the area so it was fine. I wouldn’t call this a destination or a place you would want to hang out for an extended period of time. A mix of transient campers and those that live there permanently and work in the area. Lots of pull thru sites and trees for shade. Mostly an adult-oriented park. The roads are paved and in good shape and campsites are gravel. Our site was a pull thru that was long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car and level. Our electric was located at the back of our site but not a problem with the cord we have. All other utilities were well-placed. Check-in was easy and the office staff were very friendly. There is a small pool that has plenty of lounge chairs and tables and chairs with umbrellas. The pool is small but was not crowded during our stay. Community fire pit located near the entrance with some Adirondack chairs. There is a pet walk area. A small playground with basic equipment.

      We were only here for Two 2 days, great little place to stay, fishing, boating and a little camp store with bait.

    Guide to Wacissa

    Camping near Wacissa, Florida offers year-round access with summer temperatures averaging 90°F and winter lows rarely dropping below 40°F. The area features a mix of oak hammocks and pine forests surrounding freshwater springs and rivers. Most campgrounds in the region maintain gravel pads with varying levels of shade coverage, and many offer both primitive and full hookup options.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: High Bluff Campground provides excellent fishing access on Lake Talquin. "The dock on the lake is nice and there were several people fishing. Good location for hunting the surrounding WMAs," notes Stacie R. The campground features a boat ramp and fishing pier.

    Hiking trails: Ochlockonee River State Park offers multiple nature paths along the river. "There are some really nice trails along both the Ochlockonee and Dead Rivers, as well as a pretty scenic drive that is 'paved' with wood chips, which makes it perfect for hiking," explains Annie C. The trails connect directly to the campground.

    Water activities: Coe Landing Campground offers swimming and boating access to Lake Talquin. "Nearly every spot is lake view. The keepers and residents are all very polite. They have a well kept womens restroom and shower," states Tatum B. Most waterfront sites include docks for fishing and swimming.

    What campers like

    Quiet surroundings: Campers appreciate the peaceful setting at Tallahassee RV Park. "Absolutely beautiful! Tall trees and spacious spaces. Full hookups. They rake the spaces so they're nice and even. Very quiet and beautiful!" reports Tonya B. The park's layout minimizes noise between sites.

    Wildlife viewing: Multiple reviewers mention unique wildlife spotting opportunities. "This park is the tightest Fl State Park in our experience. The river makes the experience," states Marvin E. about Ochlockonee River State Park, known for its white squirrels. High Bluff Campground offers alligator sightings from the fishing pier.

    Clean facilities: A Stone's Throw RV Park receives praise for maintenance. "This RV park is right off I-10 making it great for overnighters. All the sites are pull-through making late arrival less stressful. All sites have full hookups and there is wifi," writes David A. Most dog friendly campgrounds near Wacissa maintain basic but clean shower facilities.

    What you should know

    Site size variations: Some campgrounds have tight spacing. At Ochlockonee River State Park, "We had site #15... the sites are best for small/mad size campers but there were several big guys in the campground," explains Janet S. Measure your RV length before booking.

    Budget options: High Bluff Campground offers lower-cost primitive camping. "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," shares Ch C. Most primitive sites lack water and electric hookups.

    Highway noise: Some campgrounds experience traffic sounds. "Due to COVID-19 all contact with the staff was by phone but they were very polite and helpful. The only complaint is minor...traffic noise due to the close proximity to I-10," notes David A. about A Stone's Throw RV Park. Running AC units helps mask highway sounds.

    Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer swimming areas. "We walk thru a couple of trials and everything was well maintained. The tide creek Picnic Shelter is well maintained, lots of parking and there is a lot to do if you bring the kids including swings and slides," notes Ronald H. about Ochlockonee River State Park.

    Pet-friendly activities: For pet-friendly campgrounds around Wacissa, consider open spaces. "My husband and I really enjoyed this campground.

    Tips from RVers

    Leveling concerns: Big Oak RV Park provides level sites. "Stayed one night, clean bathroom and showers. Dog park just a fenced in dirt area. Gravel and grass with a small concrete pad," notes Al M. Bring leveling blocks for some of the older campgrounds with uneven pads.

    Late arrivals: A Stone's Throw accommodates after-hours check-ins. "Terri was very easy to work with as we were a late, overnight arrival. Great little park for an overnight right off I-10. Easy access," shares Karen C. Call ahead to arrange late check-in procedures.

    Seasonal considerations: Campgrounds near Wacissa experience higher occupancy during winter months. "We only have a tiny trailer but sites are full hook up and can fit larger rigs. Cable TV and Wi-Fi. We were in site 1, right next to the restrooms, common room and laundry," explains Janet H. about Tallahassee RV Park. Book winter stays several months in advance.
