Big Creek Campground

Accessible via dirt roads, Big Creek Campground accommodates RVs up to 45 feet without formal hookup sites. The US Forest Service charges fees for camping, with additional costs for extra spaces, and the campground closes earlier in the fall season. Campers must pack out all trash since no disposal facilities are provided on-site.

Basic amenities include drinking water, restrooms, picnic tables, and designated fire areas. The surrounding forest produces blackberries during harvest season. For those exploring the broader region, campgrounds around St. Joe National Forest provide additional options for extended stays.

BBQ, Firepit, Benches, and Space!

Not a formal RV site but has space to fully set up with anything you have.

This is not a free spot, and closes earlier in the fall season.

It costs extra for extra spaces. Dirt roads leading up to the sites.

We managed to find a lot of blackberries. There’s no trash areas so you need to pack out everything you pack in which always disappoints me when I’m paying fees.
