A great place on the Saint Joe River

We enjoyed our stay and would do it again. Quiet and close to the St. Joe River. There was even a pedestrian access to the river by our site where we could step right into the water!

All sites on the river side of the access road are reserve only, and in peak season it is usually full. There are some walk-in sites as well that are open in the middle of the week.

Electric hook-up an water is available at all reserve sites.

Local party spot

The CDA river is incredibly beautiful. This campsite is typically a local party spot. Nice big area for group camping. There is a bit of trash out there left by other campers. One bathroom available but no other facilities. Most sites have a path down to the river. Gorgeous spot but not usually very quiet.
