Hitchin Post Corral & Campground

We spent one night here after driving two days in the rain. The owner escorted us to our pull-through spot in the rain. A great place for RVs with full hookups. Wish the weather had been better so we could take advantage of all the fun things to do here. The owner told us she lost over 300 trees in the hurricane! She has done a great job making this a family friendly place. Close to the freeway but didn’t bother us.

Nice little campground with real horses and bunny rabbits. When you come in the entrance and it says Stop! Bunny crossing, they are actually serious, lol, so please stop and make sure the bunnies are not near when you come in. Very accomodating hostess. Good stop on the way down or up the main Florida peninsula if you are traveling to/from west or northwest. Private fishing pond so no license needed. Easy to access from US10.

Convenient location off of I-10. Well maintained grounds complete with two dog runs and a walking path to a small lake. Only stayed the night on my way west and would stay again. Vonda (the owner) was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. She escorted me to my spot and even put out a little mat outside my door! Spacious pull through spots and if available she spaces occupants out so you’re not on top of one another. Great experience!

This was an overnight stop for us. Did not unhitch. Vonda, the owner, was busy digging post holes when we arrived. She stopped long enough to check us in and escort us to our level, grass pull-thru, full hookup site. She even provided a door mat. We had over a dozen TV channels over the air and 4 bars of Verizon LTE service. This place is pet friendly and has 2 off-leash fenced areas. Vonda has a quarter horse named Armor that you may pet and give treats with Vonda’s supervision. The park continues to recover from last year’s hurricane but is completely functional. There are no bathhouse facilities. The park is next to Interstate 10 (East) but we were not bothered by the traffic noise due to our air conditioner.

We wanted to have a couple days downtime in a park so we made reservations here. When we arrived we almost cancelled and left because the park looked real rough from the hurricane devastation. Once we talked to the owner we decided she could use the money so we stayed 2 days. She was a very nice person and is working hard to get the campground back to what it was before the storm. Easy access off I10 and we would not hesitate To go back on future trips.

Stayed here overnight on our way home. It is convenient because it is right off the highway. The owners greeted us and treated us like royalty! You can tell they put their heart and souls into this campground and they are proud of their accomplishments. They escorted our 45 ft a class to a pull through site and it was level for the most part . They have trash cans right in front of the sites for your convenience. The only thing about our site was highway noise but they are working on planting bamboo and we didnt mind as our coach is pretty soundproof. They even gave us a carpet so we didnt have to get our personal mat out ! So thoughtful! We wish them all the luck with the future and will stay there if we pass through again ! .

My experience with the the Hitchin' Post runs true with the great reviews others have left. The couple running this campground were welcoming, friendly and very helpful.

This Hitchin' Post is just minutes off of Interstate 10. I was on the first day of a trip beginning in Central Florida and heading west. I had called a couple of days ahead but there were a handful of sites still available around 5pm. Easy access from I-10 and a friendly welcome from the owners made this a pleasant stop and one I definitely recommend.

The campground is a little "quirky" meaning the Owner's are doing it their way. But their heart shows and I found it a fun stay. Earl enjoyed nosing the tether ball suspended from a tree in the dog park. I enjoyed the wi-fi which was surprisingly good. The pull-through sites are compacted shell and the roadways have recently been topped with asphalt.

As a location, Cottondale, Florida doesn't offer much, but as a friendly stopover, the Hitchin' Post rules. The only annoyance (not the fault of the Owner's) was that Gnats were in out in full.

Some of the sites near I-10 could be a bit noisy but this was made clear on arrival. There is a Love's Plaza on the way out which is a good place to get fuel.
