This location is at one of the most unpredictable water level spots along the Peace River  - this is not the wide deep Peace River you will find further south, but it is a very popular location for the locals and fossil hunters! water levels here controlled by rainfall and can range from 4 inches to 6 feet  easily. I believe this is the most beautiful stretch of the river - from here to Brownville.

  

  Located on the corner of U.S. Highway 17&amp; S.R. 64 it is an easy and quick stop for an unplanned overnight for RV travelers - Over 30 ft rigs - sights are laid out like a parking lot with no trees and there are pull through sites. Under 30 ft rigs there is a wooded area available. Electric is available,  a dump station and pay per use showers ($2.00). The road noise can be pretty loud the closer to the road you are till after dark.

  

Tent camping is much better! Primitive dispersed and under the trees. Watch for snakes in heavy cover areas and if it has been raining avoid low areas. there is a place to get water but I chose not to drink it.... No Hammocks, 2 pets per campsite 10 ft max leash at all times. No swimming anywhere in park (yes there are gators). Simple boat ramp good for canoes and kayaks if river is up. If water very high you may see some john boats and skiffs being launched

  

Bathrooms are onsite but last I saw they were charging for showers.

Finding Peace on the Peace River

Hot showers bathrooms cheap price don't let that fool you this is a beautiful place. Lots to do and see in the park and it is so peaceful. I will be back over and over again

Awesome place

What a pleasant surprise to find this park.  We where staying across the street and came over to check out the wildlife refuge.  We stopped at the office in the park to ask about the campground and found out this is a FF park.  We opt for a primitive site by the water for a couple nights and couldn’t have been happier.  We had a solid picnic table and fire ring and a very large site.  

Being staying here since Thursday night till Sunday idk whenever. Only staying here cus my friend help me out with the payment for 3 night. I love doing stuff like dis if I had ways of paying for it I wouldn't leave the camp site. It's quite n neighborhoods don't bother you. If they walk by or cross of where you set up they just wave a hi 👋 n carry-on.  Our babygirl Lady likes it too n she's been enjoying the fresh air too lol. I would definitely recommend the camping site. Just needs an upgrade in the shower/bathroom but other than that I love it here n wish I could stay here forever 💯.
