About
State Park
Ecological restoration at Ochlockonee River State Park has successfully preserved the beautiful longleaf pine forests that once covered much of the state. Trails allow visitors to explore the park and see the diverse wildlife, including the red-cockaded woodpecker, and natural communities such as pine flatwoods and sandhill.
A boat ramp provides easy access to the river. Both freshwater and saltwater fish inhabit the waters around the park, including largemouth bass, bream, catfish and speckled perch.
For overnight visitors, there are full-facility campsites with access to restrooms and showers. Youth group camping is also available. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent at the ranger station.
Picnic facilities and a swimming area are located near the scenic point where the Ochlockonee and Dead rivers intersect.

Peaceful and small park
I live near Ochlockonee River SP and I really enjoy it for day use and camping. Camp sites are indeed close and some sites might be hard for trailers, campers, or RVs but I have no problems with my SUV and tent. Is it miserable in April - September? I wouldn’t know because I stay far away from forests in the Florida summer! You will certainly experience mosquitoes and deer flies if you do go in the warmer months, which isn’t the park’s fault but be warned. I love the Ochlockonee River - it’s very serene. There is a boat ramp and fishing spots as well as a campfire circle, benches along trails, and places to walk along the river. The flatwoods trail is often very wet and you may need at least knee-high boots to get through it. I usually bring tall water boots everywhere but I can see how it’d be disappointing if you didn’t have any on you and couldn’t hike far! There are indeed white squirrels and deer, and lots of deer in general! Bathrooms were pretty clean and everything was functional. They also have a little library with books to read! They have a dumpster and dump station for holding tanks. I had good phone and LTE service as a Verizon user. Sopchoppy is indeed basically non-existent. It has gas but come prepared with other essentials. No major complaints about the park other than it’s a little small! Love it though!

Wildlife, boat access and scenery
Nice boat ramp and fantastic scenery on the river. Check your site size to ensure your vehicle will fit because they are all different. Otherwise, really nice park. Lots of wildlife, hot showers, beautiful trail along the river with convenient access behind most sites or via campfire circle for all. Very quiet.

Nice stopover spot
Small, out of the way Fl state park. I’m guessing maybe 35 sites. A few concrete pads but most were dirt. Good level spots with electric and water. Sites are close but heavy vegetation gives the feeling of privacy. Decent trails to get the dogs out for exercise. Clean bathrooms and hot showers. The great part about this park was that it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Only stayed one night. There is a lake with a boat launch so I would assume fishing is an option. Enjoyed the stopover here.
