Full hook ups, big rig friendly. The hosts were extremely helpful and nice. Laundry room was great $2 a load with 2 washers and 2 dryers. Perfect stop to re group. Great location near gas, groceries and clothing stores

This has to be one of the most peaceful campgrounds we’ve been to. It’s very quiet and dark at night. The bathhouse was really clean and spacious. Our site is perfect with unobstructed water views. We were able to do the trails and ride our bikes on the road.
We stopped at the entrance, but no one was in there. Luckily a nice gentleman was coming in and said for us to follow him in. Rangers are at another office within the campground from 9:00-9:30 and 4:00-4:30. We went over in the afternoon to check in.

Sunset Paradise
Well kept campground. Paved roads. The loop C has a concrete parking pads. Gravel picnic table area with a fire pits and bbq stand. Well kept grass. Very shallow water off bank. We have camped here before and had a local five foot alagator that hung around. But I didn't see it this time. Spent a couple days. Has a few restaurants just a few miles. The park is in eastern time. A couple miles west is Central time. So my phone said eastern..my wife's phone read central. The shower house and restroom combo is very dated and needed some paint and rust removal. Didn't check out the other restroom. Don't plan on fishing...water very shallow and weeds. The sunsets are fantastic.

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!

Florida Caverns RV Resort
Observant Non-Guest
So we didn't actually stay here. We were at another campsite that was 30 minutes away with higher reviews. However, we stopped by to check this place out on our way to the Florida Caverns and we really wished we would of stayed here! This place was amazing. And the convenience of the gas station and corner store in walking distance plus all of the activities they had for kids. We surely would of enjoyed this place. And the view of the water and ability to fish and kayak were an added plus. Our kids were disappointed in me for not choosing this one. Definently keeping it saved for the next time we go though. And it was only 10 minutes from the Florida Caverns and close to several stores and not to far off Highway 10. There was plenty of spots and cabins when we went in October and spacious and not over-crowded.

Alliance Hill RV Resort
50 Over RV resort
Think The Dyrt forgot to mention that this site is for 50 years and older. My family and I were effected by Hurricane Isaias and were looking for a RV resort that hadn't lost power. We explained the situation to the resort manager and although we are in our 40s with 3 kids, they were very welcoming of us and so friendly. Mr. Glen, the owner, was a great person and I shared great conversation with him about his life. The view from the resort is amazing. Acres of land in a sloping hillside with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Small 4ft pool and very spacious and clean bathrooms and clubhouse. It SOOOO peaceful and quiet out here . I went along a trail that they have to read and watch the sunrise and was welcomed by deers that roam the land. This was a very gorgeous spot and I'll likely return in 9 years after I hit the age requirements to enjoy again😁. But we were so grateful for them being so accomodating given our circumstance.

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

What to do
Fishing from shore or dock: Eastbank Campground provides lakefront access with a fish cleaning station near the dump station. "There is a boat launch and a very nice fish cleaning hut near the dump station to process your catch," notes one visitor who appreciated the amenities for anglers.
Hike nature trails: Seminole State Park Campground features a 2-mile nature trail recently reopened after hurricane damage. A camper shared their experience: "The hiking trail just reopened and was an easy 2 miles. Tons of animal tracks to look for and identify!"
Cross state lines on foot: At Three Rivers State Park Campground, visitors can walk between Georgia and Florida. "There was also a trail to the Dam, it took you from Georgia to Florida," explains a reviewer who visited during their annual New Year camping trip.
What campers like
Lakefront views with sunset visibility: Many waterfront sites at Eastbank Campground face west for optimal sunset views. According to one camper: "Very nice views of lake and shade also for the hot summers." Another noted, "We were right off the water so the sunrises and sunsets were amazing!"
Spacious, updated sites: Coe Landing Campground offers generously sized lakefront sites. "Each spot is designated clearly, is level, and has its own lake vista. It's a small place but perfect for a night or two for a peaceful retreat," reports a visitor who appreciated the organization.
Wildlife observation opportunities: The region hosts diverse wildlife viewing chances. A Three Rivers visitor mentioned: "Wildlife is plentiful and the trails are a great way to enjoy it all!" At Seminole State Park, campers report: "We had fun walking the nature trail and saw signs of deer and raccoons and enjoyed listening to the birds from our site."
What you should know
Weather considerations: The region experiences significant storm events. A Three Rivers camper warned: "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."
Time zone confusion: Parts of Lake Seminole cross time zones, which can cause confusion. "The gate closes at 10pm EASTERN Time. Once in the campground, your phone will go to central time, FYI," advises a visitor to Flint River RV Park.
Insect challenges: Expect significant bug activity, especially during warmer months. One Eastbank Campground visitor reported: "The ANTS and FLYING ROACHES! OMG they almost took over our camper! If you stay get a site with no trees and that's not near the water. The dragonflies at a certain time of day are outrageous too!"
Road access variability: Some parks have challenging approach roads. A Three Rivers 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)."
Tips for camping with families
Playgrounds and common areas: Multiple campgrounds feature family-friendly amenities. At Earl May Boat Basin, "Playground for children. Rate: $35.00 self registration. No one onsite. Easy in/out for all size rigs on newly paved road. Paved walking or biking trails."
Summer programming: Some parks offer organized activities during peak seasons. "We enjoy it here they do concerts and fun during the summer and have great bass tournament schedules," reports an Earl May Boat Basin visitor.
Renovated facilities: Hurricane Michael damaged several area campgrounds, but most have recovered with improvements. At Seminole State Park: "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."
Wildlife education opportunities: The nature trails provide learning experiences for children. A Seminole State Park visitor mentioned: "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."
Tips from RVers
Site selection for size constraints: Not all sites accommodate larger rigs equally. At Cross Creek Campground, "Some sites are shorter than others so just make sure your rig will fit the site," advises a recent visitor who stayed in March 2024.
Leveling considerations: Terrain varies significantly between campgrounds and sometimes within the same park. A Cross Creek Campground visitor explained: "The site we stayed in was level left and right but had to lower the front end to level front to back. The pad had a bit of a drop off at the back so the owner had us park toward the front."
Electric system caution: Some older campgrounds have aging electrical infrastructure. A Hales Landing visitor recommends: "Electric boxes were old so recommend using a serge protector."
Front-back leveling needs: Several campgrounds require adjustments for proper RV positioning. One Cross Creek visitor reported: "The site we stayed in was level left and right but had to lower the front end to level front to back."
