The campground has a mix of 34 concrete pads and gravel pads - all are level. There is a tent-only location within the family campground, as well as primitive (hike or hoof) sites and equestrian sites. Lots of trails that are good for both hiking and biking (level green). The trails can have standing water during rainy times. The park backs up to a wilderness preserve so there are a lot of spur trails that go miles and miles (per AllTrails and the park trail map). Very clean bath house with hot showers and laundry. There are two small lakes in the park for fishing and paddling. Lots of birds, deer and the obligatory "Caution Gator" signs.
Arrive before sunset or call the ranger station as Florida State Parks close their gates at sunset

Call Creek State Park was a beautiful park with a friendly staff and was very well-maintained. It had one camping loop with around 30 sites including eight or 1010 sites. We were in site 21 which we found to be private and very comfortable. we had afternoon shade over part of the site and morning sun. in general this park doesn’t have a lot of shade because of the type of forest around it. Bathrooms were very clean. It has showers and laundry facilities and some hiking trails which we did not get to use. The only downside was there is no cell signal at all. We like the park and would definitely stay there again. It is near Lakeland for Florida, which is a nice town with all the amenities you could need. Despite being there over Labor Day weekend and the park being full, everyone was quiet and respectful.

Stayed 2 nights and a very nice park. Clean and spacious but no phone signal. Dump station is at the main entrance and not so convenient.

We loved this state park! Plenty of walking, biking, hiking trails. They also have two ponds that you can fish from. The campground was nicely kept up. Bathhouse was cleaned everyday. They had one washer and dryer which is located on the outside of bathhouse but it was kept really clean. We got to see plenty of deer and other wildlife while we were out walking our dogs in the morning! Just a lovely place all the way around. No cell phone coverage for T-Mobile.

We think Colt Creek State Park is a perfect 10 in the Florida wilderness. The moment we pulled into the campground, we were highly impressed with the well-manicured grounds, the wide spaces between sites, the raked and level gravel pads, and the overall cleanliness of the park. We did NOT find dusty, sandy roads, highway noise, or mosquitoes and flies swarming us.
We took a several-mile nature trail on one day through the woods and prairie; it was peaceful and serene, with butterflies everywhere. Still no mosquitoes to be found even in the wettest parts of the trail. Every part of the trail we walked on was covered in thick, mowed grass.
At the campground exit, there are two dump stations that are plenty wide. Verizon cell service was 2-3 bars, but was presenting consistent 20Mbps download speed.
This will be our new local favorite campground, it sets a new bar.

A hidden gem in the Florida State Parks camping system, the Colt Creek State Park Campground absolutely blew us away. This campground truly is a hidden gem within the Florida State Parks camping system. You will be greeted by spacious big rig friendly campsites with 50/30 amp electric and water. A few campsites have sewer and all the facilities look new, and this campground has several dump stations near the exit. Verizon cellular service clocked in at 5.08 Mbps download speed and 0.10 Mbps upload speed. AT&T cellular service clocked in at 7.55 Mbps download speed and 0.69 Mbps upload speed. T-Mobile cellular service clocked in at 2.68 Mbps download speed and 0.12 Mbps upload speed.

The state park itself is lovely - lots of trails to explore.
The campground is not the classic Florida State Park style - it's the new style era. Wide huge level gravel sites with lots of space between them - but little separation. It looks like most trees were cleared and there's little brush between in the campground itself.
Which on a sunny hot day, leaves little to no shade. In February you'd think that would not be an issue, but during our stay it was in the mid-80s.
Overall, enjoyed the park - but wouldn't be a top pick for a return. We just prefer a campsite with lots of privacy or something of interest to see.
T-Mobile & Verizon here was really strong with great speeds. AT&T a bit on the weaker side.
