One of my favorite little primitive car camping spots
I love the seclusion this little campground has to offer. I’ve camped here many times over the years. There is a pit toilet, but no running water. There was a water pump but the last several times I went it was broken. Perhaps the well dried up. So, pack in water. I’ve heard more wildlife at night here than just about anywhere else. It’s not a campground for those who require amenities. But if, like me, you just love being in nature, it’s a lovely place to car camp. There is actually a small store a short drive up River Road at Green Cove with fishing supplies, drinks, snacks, etc. It’s a great launching point for exploring the area. In all the years I’ve been going there, it’s never been crowded, especially in the Fall season. There have been times we were the only ones there, and I think that’s great. I almost hate to write this review because I feel like it’s my special secret.
Quiet, peaceful, affordable
Nice somewhat primitive campground. Make sure you bring drinking water and everything you need because there is no store.
Empty
Empty during month of September. A little creepy if I'm being honest.
