Torreya State Park Campground

Torreya State Park is tucked away by itself and has a smaller campground at only 29 sites, and it's part of what makes it a great place to get away.

Small and remote means peace and quiet. The sites aren't very private, but there aren't many and folks seem to keep to themselves.

The bathrooms are small but decent and well-maintained, and there are 30-amp electric and water on each site. Another nice feature is a very clean laundry area. It only has one washer and dryer, but the campground is small enough that doesn't seem to be a problem.

Nearby trails, some accessible right from the campground, also make this a good spot to use as a basecamp if you want to get out and explore some of Florida's natural beauty. Also, Gregory House is an 1850s plantation home that you can visit for a guided tour and is within walking distance of the campground.

This park had easy access off a paved road. 2 sites are concrete pads. The rest are dirt or dirt with some spots of grass. By dirt I mean sand that adheres to the soles of your shoes and you better have a long handled brush available to clean off your shoes EVERY time you want to enter your vehicle or else you'll have one horrible mess. Otherwise this is a great park. Rest rooms super clean and well maintained. Hot showers. Book exchange. Very reasonably priced clothes washer and dryer. Pleasant campground hosts. The sites are rather close together so you'll definitely get conversation noise from your neighbors. Otherwise the area is quite quiet -- no highway noise, no airplanes, no trains. Fairly good trails thru the forest but you better keep a sharp lookout for copperhead snakes; they abound here but are very docile and you just move them out of the way with a long stick. A self guided tour of the Gregory house is a must -- such splendor. This park lies adjacent to the Apalachacola River and contains the remains of a Confederate battery that protected the supply shipments from Columbus GA, Price above reflects discount for Florida seniors.

Every site lacks shade so if it’s the middle of summer I’m not coming here but fall and winter it’s the place for me. Site 1 if probably one of the most private sites. All others lack any brush in between. The morning views are nice and it’s basically a get away into nature. The air is super crisp in the mornings as we’re on top of a Deep forested hill in the pan handle of Florida quite some distance from the cities and highway. People were saying 30-40 min off of I-10 but it’s only about 25 minutes off I-10. Bathrooms are nice too if you use them.

This campground is at the top of a bluff. It's mostly sand/dirt except for a couple ADA accessible sites which are paved. We were in a paved site. Sites are pretty tight and close together with little privacy. Nice bath house and laundry machines (one set) is at the back of the older bath house. The newer bathhouse has nice private showers. The older bath house had no water pressure in one shower and the other shower worked okay. Both bath houses were kept clean while we were there. All but two of the trails are still closed due to prior hurricane damage, which is still prevalent everywhere you look. The poor park took a serious beating. Not much nearby. The dump station is near the bottom of a dirt/clay road. If it rains, you're going to have a messy exit from the park.

We enjoyed our stay here despite the lack of tree cover due to hurricane Michael last fall. Many of the trails are still closed but there are enough open to still enjoy yourself. We hiked down to see a waterfall. It was about an hour long round-trip .
The park rangers are very friendly and will be happy to share the history of the area with you.
Site #28 is a sand pad which I was not a fan of.
Our site was not cramped by neighboring sites and had a row of bushes in between them. Would definitely stay here again!

This state park just reopened 3/1/19 after hurricane Michael destroyed it in OCT. 2018. It is up on a hill and just about 90% of the trees have been cut down from the hurricane. Site was beach sand, that was just laid down. Electric and water, dump station just down the hill. Bath house was clean, two showers, and laundry available. Ranger station is an old house on site. Very quiet and peaceful with only 30 sites. Some sites, as ours was very close to the others. Not a lot of privacy. Firepits were about 10 feet from each other on the back of the site. Park is about a 30 minute drive off I-10, closest town is Bristol about a 20 minute drive.

Great place to relax. The silence is deafening took a little hike down to the small falls moderate to easy less than an hour round trip. If you’re up for excitement you won’t find it here, but a super place to relax. One tip and the reason for only 4 stars. There is a water hookup for every two sites. While you have your own connection, if you are in an odd numbered site, you’ll have to run your hose under or around your rig to get to the hookup. Solution here is to book an even numbered site.

Sites are dirt, with some growth between each other. Lots of woods surrounding.

Getting here requires some patience in a big rig. Lots of winding country roads.

Overall great place. Will come back.
