Best Campgrounds near Tallahassee, FL

332 Reviews

Camping areas around Tallahassee include established RV parks and campgrounds situated along lakes and forested areas. Tallahassee RV Park offers full hookups with gravel sites and shade trees, while campgrounds near Lake Talquin provide more natural settings with water access. The region supports a mix of accommodation types from basic tent sites to RV-friendly campgrounds with 30 and 50 amp electrical connections. Coe Landing Campground features boat-in access for fishing enthusiasts, while Ed and Bernice's Fish Camp provides cabin options alongside traditional camping areas. Most mixed-use campgrounds maintain year-round operations.

Access to campgrounds varies significantly, with many sites requiring reservations, particularly during football season when rates increase substantially. "We stayed here for one night. Was fine for limited stay. Was about double the nightly rate ($90) due to a FSU football game over the weekend," noted one camper about Tallahassee RV Park. Weather conditions remain relatively mild throughout the year, though summer brings heat, humidity and mosquitoes. Many campgrounds feature level sites with gravel pads, though primitive camping areas may have more challenging terrain. Cell coverage is generally available near established campgrounds, while more remote sites may have limited connectivity. Most RV parks provide full hookups, while primitive sites at Fort Braden Tract and other forest locations offer more basic amenities.

Water access represents a significant draw for campers in the region. Sites near Lake Talquin State Forest provide opportunities for boating and fishing, with several campgrounds featuring docks or boat ramps. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, fishing appears particularly popular at Coe Landing, where "heavy day use from serious fishermen" was reported. Campers seeking quieter experiences may prefer the more remote forest camping at Fort Braden Tract or High Bluff Campground. Big Oak RV Park offers convenience to town amenities but with road noise. Cleanliness varies significantly between facilities, with Tallahassee RV Park receiving multiple comments about its well-maintained grounds and bathrooms. Several reviews mentioned tree cover and shade as important features, particularly during warmer months when temperatures can rise significantly.

    Whitehead Landing NF Campground

    Nice quiet off grid sites

    Decent Verizon signal, no T-Mobile. Non-potable water spigot. There’s a nice little boat ramp on the river.

    High Bluff Campground — Joe Budd WMA and Lake Talquin State Forest

    Nice Experience

    This campground was a nice surprise. We reserved the very same day an there were several spots available. $17 per night with all fees included. Very quiet. A very well maintained dirt road to get there. It looks like most people go there to fish.

    Peaceful Lakefront Campground

    Lakefront, open, grassy campground with scattered trees that provide partial shade for many sites. Very friendly and helpful staff. Old, but clean restrooms. Nice views of lake and great sunsets. My only complaint is most sites are too close togetherfor my taste.

    Madison RV Resort and Golf Course

    Another Great Visit

    This was our fifth year staying at this campground(CG) for a two-month stay at site 60A. For the monthly rate, you pay electricity, which was not bad. We even got a bit of snow in January—a surprise for the area! Another unexpected change was the sale of the golf course and CG to Jennings Communities, which also owns two other CGs along the I-75 corridor in Florida. Senior management was on-site frequently during our stay, discussing upcoming improvements and anticipated price increases. They also introduced new on-site CG managers, while the current work campers continue handling grounds maintenance and activities. We’ll see how things evolve moving forward.

    Porter Lake Dispersed Camp

    Nice Place

    This campground is at least 30 miles either way on F13 (dirt road to campgr )and other RTS to any type of civilization. There are alot of logging trucks who use the road during the day and other vehicles but at night total quiet just the wildlife. There are vault toilets and a water spigot . They say non potable but there are no signs. The river is beautiful to boat or kayak and fish.

    Myron B. Hodge City Park

    $20/night. Quite and few other campers

    Very pleasant campground. That caretaker is super nice and helpful, as well as knowledgeable of the area. Kinda in the middle of nowhere, but that's great if that's what you're looking for. Provisions are a half hour drive. Full hookups by the road (maybe 5 cars a day drive past) and water/power riverside (which is on an incline that is difficult to level on without leveling blocks.
