Incredibly secluded, naturally beautiful and peaceful. Water and electric only. NO DUMP STATION. Road into park was terrible... nearly 20 minutes to drive 2 mi.

A great view from sites #1 and #2 and plenty of privacy and space on most of the other sites. Lots of nice hikes, including the Florida Trail. Electric hookup and water worked fine. Has a really nice beach. Very few sites and well landscaped. Single flush toilet and shower are fine.

Very quiet location, small campground with good hiking right from the campground.
Bathrooms clean and nice hot showers.
Unfortunately we were there during deer season and it’s a very popular hunting location.

It's easy to find via GPS. Road is a little bumpy coming in but not that bad. We were greeted by the camp host as we entered the campground ground. She confirmed our spot number and explained some of the basic rules for the federal park. Once we had completed setup of our campsite and rig we walk around the one mile loop of camel lake. The lake trail is an easy walk and takes less than 30 minutes. There were tent campers next to us so we minimized the generator use and shut it down for the remainder of the evening. March day I'm just waiting for one night but I'm gonna be back for a longer stay hence there are more trails to explore as well as Camel lake to fish.

Campground itself is beautiful. No laundry. 2 mi long road leading to campground is full of pot holes, Boulder size rocks that are used to fill holes. Very difficult to pull a trailer over.
