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."
Park cleanliness: Multiple cabins receive positive feedback for maintenance standards. According to a visitor at Ochlockonee River State Park Campground, "This campground is spotless. Concrete pads are level and electrical hookup looks new." The park rangers reportedly encourage minimal outdoor lighting to enhance stargazing opportunities.

A camper at Newport Park Campground stated, "Me and my husband have been camping here for three days now the campsite is very clean. The lady is very very nice. Great showers great bathrooms great people great location."
What you should know
Site selection considerations: Some campgrounds have significant variation between sites. At Ochlockonee River State Park Campground, a visitor advised, "The best sites seemed to be #7-9 and #18-21 as they have the best privacy, are close to the river, and are completely set back from the main loop. Sites closest to the bathroom have to contend with hearing the bathhouse fan."
Seasonal conditions: Summer humidity and insects can affect cabin comfort. For Seminole State Park Campground, a camper noted, "My visit was during the summer months, didn't get any mosquitos bites but there were a lot of gnats, so bring bug repellent or screened tents."
Facility maintenance issues: Some properties experience maintenance challenges. A visitor to Tallahassee East Campground reported, "Very run down campgrounds that used to be a KOA and now a Good Sams campground. Not maintained very much even though the few staff tried to clean it a bit. Weeds, not mowed, peeling ceilings in dated bath house with exterior doors that do not close or have keyed entry."
Cash payment requirements: Several properties have specific payment requirements. According to a reviewer at Ed and Bernices Fish Camp and RV Park, "Felt $35 (cash only) was too high for value. No sewer at our site but we were able to dump on way out."
Tips for camping with families
Interactive animal experiences: For families with children, Goat House Farm offers unique accommodations where animals are part of the experience. One parent shared, "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."
Swimming opportunities: Multiple cabin locations provide swimming access during warmer months. An Ed and Bernices Fish Camp visitor noted, "could not keep the kids from playing by the water they scooped up minnows and found crawdads. Was great to watch." The swimming areas typically lack lifeguards, so parental supervision is required.
Playground access: Some parks offer dedicated play facilities. A reviewer at Seminole State Park Campground observed, "The playground close to the camping loop is nearly complete and looks super fun for the Littles."
Educational opportunities: Historical and natural learning experiences are available near several cabin locations. A Torreya State Park Campground visitor suggested, "Tour the Gregory House - it's worth the couple bucks! 130 ft bluffs and great view of the Apalachicola River."
Tips from RVers
Site access challenges: Some properties have limitations for larger vehicles. A visitor to Ed and Bernices Fish Camp and RV Park cautioned, "Far from the main road, down a steep rutted driveway, onto a grassy lot. Yes, there is 50 amps, water and sewer, but the water spigot is 25 feet from the coach and the turn-on switch is an inch underground."
Hookup variations: Utilities differ significantly between locations. At Ingram's Marina & Campground, a camper noted, "The sites are level and pretty easy to get in and out. Definitely bring your fishing poles!"
Signal availability: Connectivity varies by location. A reviewer at Seminole State Park Campground mentioned, "We had a very strong cell signal and 30 OTA channels so that was a pleasant surprise."
Leveling considerations: Some cabin and RV sites require minimal adjustment. A visitor to Ed and Bernices Fish Camp stated, "We had a flat spot and not needing to bust out the levelers is always a treat! The staff here is so kind and helpful."
