Three Rivers State Park Campground

Small park, good for several days of camping. Agree with other reviews: lovely lake views, wildlife, tidy sites, very clean bathouse, nice hiking trails. Very attentive camp hosts.
Not a lot else to do in Sneads, but this was a quiet, pleasant stay for 3 days.
Note: our GPS, in its comical way, directed us toward an unpaved, defunct road. If coming from Rte 90, turn on River Rd and continue past McDaniels Piggly Wiggly. The campground entrance right will then be on your right. And that grocery is the best one near the campground.

We stayed in January, during a hard freeze across the country. Hosts and rangers were very attentive and didn't let anyone's pipes freeze. Extremely clean bathroom and showers were private (heated). No laundry on site, but a utility sink for washing dishes on the back of the bathhouse. Lots of trails good for easy mountain biking and hiking. Saw deer, armadillos and millions of migratory birds. Lots of hunters use this camp as home base for Lake Seminole hunting. Gravel level sites.

Well good news: The road has been finished! Beautiful new asphalt from River Road into the campground and day-use area. This was a "cool-down" spot for us at the end of a two month road trip and before a three day dash home. We could not have picked a better location. The sound of an occasional fishing boat and a few raucous crows are the only things to disturb the peace and quiet. A number of walking trails offer even more solitude, and a chance to see wildlife and the forest's effort to recover from 2018 Hurricane Michael. Not into walking? Waterfowl and alligators can be observed from the fishing pier.

Arriving here I found the road in better shape than I expected. Not great but they are still working on it. Staff was friendly and helpful and the sites were kept clean. Nice fishing pier and fish cleaning station. There are a few chairs and picnic tables set up in a common area by the lake. This is a small park with only 30 sites. We stayed in site 27 and had plenty of room for a 27 ft trailer and pick up truck. Good 5g reception on ATT.

The park is small, quiet, well hidden, peaceful, and, overall, a great option. As many have mentioned, the access road is in rough condition, but was under construction during our visit (05/23) and should be improved shortly. Each site has a fire ring, picnic table, and clothesline. We stayed in site #2 and it was level, had some trees for shade, and privacy from other sites. There are sites along the water with better views, but the sites on the outside edges offer more privacy and are more quiet. There are kayaks and canoes for rent and plenty of birds, fish, and alligators in the lake. There are also several easy hiking trails in the park. The Woodruff Dam, what creates Lake Seminole, is a cool nearby sight to see and is the beginning of the Apalachicola River. I would certainly stay here again and recommend this campground to fellow campers.

There was something about the park that kind of turned me off. I believe that it was possibly a weird layout. Site 15 was a nice waterfront site but it was strange how you got into the site. The staff was great. There are a couple other state parks in the area of this park which I would choose to go back to before this one. There wasn't much for walking trails. There was only a 1 hour time frame when you could register with the staff.

The campground is clean and all facilities are well maintained. The sites are pretty open as a result of hurricane damage in 2018. The road in is also in desperate need of repair. We came here planning to stay 4 nights. However, as we pulled into the park the transmission in our van failed. The camp hosts were very sympathetic and helped us extending our stay and finding transportation while we had the van repaired! Thank you!

The trails are wide and mowed. The forest was devastated by Michael and is slowly coming back.

Lots of great bird watching opportunities.
