Out of the Way & Quiet

I lived in this park for three years long term. The original owner (Peanut) was still alive but I believe his Son now runs the place. I had a site on the back side and had plenty of room to spread out. One thing though was towards the end of my stay a group of shall we say Meth heads moved in next door and made my last few months there interesting (fights, alot of vehicle traffic etc) so I left. I live this way to get away from that type of folks so it was a deal breaker. Reasonable rent, fixed rate for long term visitors and enough amenities to let you keep your laundry clean. No showers were available when I lived there but that may have changed by now. There is a lake there and alot of ducks and chickens on the park grounds. Most people there keep to themselves and dont cause trouble.

A piece of Heaven

By far my favorite campsite in NW Florida. Remote but good roads all the way to it. South Camp is water only sites but COE has plans to upgrade with some electric sites and a new shower facility soon. Always has a resident host onsite who is helpful and can provide you with local tips. many sites are on the lake edge but realize that there ARE gators in the lake and they have legs to crawl on land. I have been there maybe 50 times and have yet to see the first gator though. Boats and fishing allowed but no gas motors only trolling motors. Grounds are kept up and only the occassional pinecone falls from mischievous squirrels who will enjoy bombing you from above while laughing at you with their friends.. A magical place, plenty of shade and potable water near your campsite. Communal batheoom located near the Campground host but no dedicated shower at time of this posting. A large dumpster provides a place to leave all your trash so theres no excuse not to leave a trace on your site when leaving. I believe you can stay up to 14 days at a time before being required to pick up and move.
