Road at campground is a little tight but manageable. Not all sites are level but they are doable. Quiet, peaceful, not crowded together. $25 includes water and electric. Convenient dump site at exit.
A few short hiking trails to the water fall and small lake. Very nice! Pet friendly.
No problem with bugs at the campsite but we did find a couple ticks while hiking.

This is a small park and sites are tight. Trail from campground to the falls was nice just watch out for the occasional root sticking up out of the ground. The falls were flowing full flow. Campers were all very friendly and we made several new friends at this campground. Cell service is not stable - our phones showed 3 bars LTE on Verizon but had trouble opening up apps and checking emails - very slow and when we opened up the email, the signal dropped to 1 bar. This park had the most birds of other parks. Some birds were birds that we rarely see in Florida. Got to see lots of deer and raccoons. Our main camping trips are close to our home and are meant to unwind and just get away from our house breaks. I think just about every camper had a dog or 2 - this was the most dogs we have seen camping. It was very quiet and we enjoyed our recharge trip. Our site was a dirt pad with a few stones however it was fairly level.

Absolutely beautiful little state park campground. The falls are breathtaking and the hiking is wonderful. The bathrooms are very clean and well maintained. Site #10 is one of the more secluded sights and in my opinion the best site at the campground! We originally booked for a full week and were so excited to hike and kayak but we are full time and still have to work. The reviews say that there is service and it is an absolute lie at the campground. There's service at the day use parking lot and at the entrance of the park but the campground has nothing. Even will our cell booster we couldn't get even google to load much less work out there the full week.
Usually when that happens we head into town and find a coffee shop but the closest coffee shop in town has sporadic hours and the next closest has spotty Wi-Fi and blasts Christian music so loud you can hear it outside.
We ended up finding another RV resort in Tallahassee to stay the week but we will definitely be back to spend a weekend (not working) sometime soon!

Small state park with rustic sights. FHU, not level, great dog walking. Best feature were baths and toilets. Likely won't be back.

Drive by kiosk to check-in, very easy. Easy access off I10. This is a small park only about 20 sites, site 24 was on the end which is away from other sites. Most sites are close together. Facilities were excellent, nice showers. Power and water worked well.
Very little water over the falls but still worth seeing. No noise just birds and hickory nuts and pine cones falling.
About 5 miles from Chipley, FL with many restaurants, grocery stores and Walmart.
Decent AT&T cell service 3-4 bars; 15-20 HDTV channels.

Website only allows reservation for next day. Based on one of these reviews We showed up on a rainy day and got lucky as they had 1 cancellation. There are only 21 sites here. A hidden gem with a lovely lake and waterfall. Very quiet.

Because of the rain there were some cancellations, so I was able to get into this park as a drive-up without having to make a reservation with RipOffAmerica.com. The $10 rate reflects a 50% discount for Florida seniors.
Also because of the rain, the waterfall was flowing at a fantastic rate. The waterfall is a 25 minute hike from the campground. It descends 73 feet into a sinkhole formed by the waterfall. Along the way you'll pass a swimming beach (somehow the park rangers have trained the alligators to not attack the swimmers.) Along the path, much of which is a boardwalk, you'll pass an old oil well and many sinkholes.
The campground is dirt, requiring only slight leveling. The restrooms were clean, in good condition, with nice hot showers.
View my photos for a good look at the waterfall.

This is our third visit here every time we came it never rained so the falls was just a trickle but this time the day we arrived it was raining we walked to the waterfalls and it was flowing like never before the place is always quiet the roads could use some love other than that we enjoy the stop here.
