Coe Landing Campground

This is a nice little camp ground. We stayed in site 6 and it was a very private and spacious area. The site was level and we needed no leveling blocks. I was going to say that I didn’t think this area would be very big rig friendly due to relatively small sites and a couple of tight curves, but I saw a couple of class a’s one with a towed, so I guess it can be done. Most of the people here seemed to either be hunting or fishing so there was a fair amount of activity before the sun came up.

This is a small, shady, quiet park with some nice lake front spots. There were some bass fisherman here but otherwise just a handful of us travelers. $27 cash honor system or catch the office peeps to pay by card. Sites are a bit tight and watch for tree branches but they were level and gravel. We are 32' and we saw a 34' Tiffin but I wouldn't go any larger. There are some hiking and biking trails in the area but we didn't have time this trip. Bathrooms are old but clean. Overall, a sweet spot!

Coe Landing is a beautiful and well-maintained Leon county campground less than twenty miles from downtown Tallahassee and very close to the airport. Lake Talquin, a part of the Ochlockonee River, is right outside your door. Twenty campsites and at least five or so having lake views. A bit pricey but there isn’t another good campground this close to Tallahassee that offers comparable amenities and comforting views of nature. The public boat ramp offers many docks to fish from and the park is well-maintained. The Fort Braden Lake Talquin State Forest trailhead is also just a couple miles west of Coe Landing off Hwy 20 and offers several miles of hiking and equestrian trails. Day use is only $2 per person and is self-pay.

The showers and restrooms were in better shape than expected for a county park. Beverly saw a couple wolf spiders in the ladies room. They get very big and scary looking. But all in all it was nice to have a hot shower. Not much ground to cover on a bicycle so that is one big negative for me. The proximity to Tallahassee for business, medical reasons, or entertainment events cancels out the negative. There were two bars of AT&T service and streaming on the trailer’s Furrion television worked well with no excessive buffering. Internet and cell coverage were acceptable.

If I were a fisherman this park would be perfect for me to spend several days here camping. But three nights here seems plenty enough to complete what we need to accomplish in town and subsequently also enjoy a little down time relaxing in this pleasant park. The nearby hiking trails are also a big plus for us and there are plenty of options to choose from.

It’s a lovely spot along the lakeside and convenient for Tallahassee, should you wish to visit. The advertised $24 becomes $27 once taxes are added, including a Bed tax! And goes up to $31 if you have another vehicle. So RV & Toad is $31! There is also a $6 reservation fee. The trees are low in many places so not great for larger rigs, but host was happy for me to trim them!

Very very beautiful spot with a private view of the water from this camp site. Great cellphone coverage for hotspot and voice conversation. Well worth it to get in here. Minimal services of electric and water (dump station was flooded).

This may be the last good priced campground location before you hit all the hurricane damage west of Tallahassee from hurricane Michael. OMG it is really terrible as it starts with 50% of the trees damaged and then goes to every tree torn down for fifty miles. COE LANDING is good and not affected.

Beautiful setting and the sites are well maintained. I have a view of the lake. BUT I can only hope to get out of this spot without damage to my rig. I verified with the park manager that my 35’er would fit, as it appeared on the site map, but it is too tight for comfort. Only one of three slides could be used. If you have a smaller rig, you’ll love the place.

On our way from Disney to Pensacola. I often check campendium for perfect overnighters or rare finds and this was really great. Site 15 on the waterfront, pull thru, easy to maneuver with 60 ft trailer + truck length. We did have to roll over one set of blocks on the street side. Did not check out bathrooms, we used ours. No sewer but for overnight that is just fine. Writing this review with good cell service. Highly recommend from our family and thank you to the Campendium community for letting us plan our peaceful and quiet night with this view at our doorstep.

We picked the campground exclusively because of its proximity to Tallahassee, especially the airport, but ended up really enjoying our stay. That's probably because we had site #13, recommended by Aluminarium below, and absolutely loved the direct waterfront experience. Hearing the lake lap against the shores just feet from our front porch was so relaxing. The whole area was very quiet, and we noticed very little noise from the adjacent boat ramp.

As others have mentioned, the campground itself is fairly small, with some tight turns. Pay close attention to the site sizes when selecting a site. Several of the waterfront sites are pull-throughs, but all of them have fairly steep driveways that could make parking a little tricky.

The bathhouses are pretty dated, and suffer from some unfortunate design flaws -- both the men's and women's showers tend to flood the whole bathroom rather than draining into the drains inside the showers. The shower stalls also need benches and hooks inside the stalls.

Though there is no ready access to hiking directly from the campground, there are great trails at the nearby Fort Braden area of Lake Talquin State Forest. The trailhead is about 2 miles from the campground, just to the west on SR 20, and the loop options range in length from 3 to 11 miles.

Free (unsecure) wifi was pretty solid for surfing: download speed 4.18 mbps; upload .43 mbps.

Well maintained small wooded campground situated right on Lake Talquin. The sites are tight but manageable if you choose the correct size site for your rig. We didn't use the bathhouses but they were decent for their age and were clean. No sewer hookup.

We were able to get 28 local channels, and the Wifi signal was good.

No check-in required with reservation. Our site was marked "Reserved" with our information on it.

The "Office" is a storage building next to a "Residence". If you need assistance, the "Residence" is where you go, and the manager is very helpful.

This is a very small park (20 sites), about half of which are right on the water. Some pull-thrus, some back-ins, but the lakeside sites are set so that the side of your rig faces the water, rather than the back—great for sitting under your awning with an unobstructed view. Sites are a few feet above the shoreline with wooden railings. Water-side sites are relatively private, lots of foliage, but the sites in the center are right out in the open. Bring your DEET, there are mosquitoes and very pesky no-see-ums.

Restrooms are old and not overly clean. Sites are level-ish, with the entrances to some sites a definite downslope paved with slippery gravel—we heard some rigs skidding a bit as they were pulling out.

If you’re into fishing or boating, there is a boat launch ramp and a small pier to tie up; our neighbors just pulled their small boat up onto the shore below their site. When we walked out on the pier, we were lucky enough to see an alligator swim slowly towards us, and there are signs recommending that you do NOT go swimming. Checkout time is 4pm, allowing you to really use your last day, though it does mean that if you arrive before 4pm on your first day, you might have to wait for your site.

You have to call to make a reservation, and print out your permit—no printer in the Airstream, but the host was fine with it, so you probably don’t need to bother.

Dog’s perspective: There’s virtually no place to walk unless you just walk the campground loop. The road the campground is located on is very narrow with no shoulder, so even walking along the road can be tricky.
