Beautiful site right on the river. Easy access, water and electric hookups as well as wi-fi accessible. Only planned on one day, but stayed a 2nd night. We plan on coming back.

The current Campground Host is Second to None! They take Exceptional Care of the campground as well as the needs of whatever campers may require.
This is not an easy task sometimes, but they do a fantastic job. This alone can change the quality of the camping trip.
Many sites we have camped at, the experience is less than desirable due to lack of attention by the local host. We go camping and seem to pay higher Fees every year and many locations have lost interest in maintaining a clean and inviting environment.
Bottom line... The Host, sometimes if not Always is what campers see as the folks we are dealing with!
The site was in good shape and well cared for!

Huckleberry Campground was exceptionally clean and well maintained. Sites were large enough for some privacy. Access to the St. Joe River was good. Two disappointments: no showers, and almost no shade. Since temperatures went into the 100's, we timed our arrival late in the evening and left early to escape the sun.

We have been enjoying this special place for over 30 years. But last stay was awful in terms of how the hosts treated us. We had a 20 ft trailer for husband and I and son had a tent camper on his truck. We hooked trailer up to water and electrical. Son had no water hook up and has no toilet in tent camper. He has medical issue and needs electrical connection at night for machine so he connected to our trailer on first night.. We had one tent for widow who camped with us (total of 4 people) and drift boat on trailer pulled to outside of our parking area. Host said we were not abiding by the "rules" (one RV and one tent per site). Yet we saw 3 other sites with 2-4 tents, one site with 5 ATV's parked on grass, etc, Signage in (Immaculate) outhouses says NO glass containers on beach, yet the host and his guest were at water's edge with bottles of beer on July 3rd. It seems the hosts impose exert authority with some guests and are more accommodating with others.
Host said they would throw us out if we reserve one site for the 3 of us (trailer and tent camper)... we were told we have to reserve 2 sites.
