Torreya State Park Campground

We were part of a Trail Maintenance work crew and stayed in the campground, Site 9. Ours was one of the 2 paved sites so enjoyed having a little less dirt to track in the camper. Solid picnic table and in ground fire pit/grill at each site. The bathrooms are SPOTLESS and heated in the cooler months. Rangers and hosts were wonderful and checked in on the crew many times. Always had 2 or 3 bars on both ATT and T Mobile with several TV channels. As mentioned there isn’t much to do which is part of the attraction. The trees are on the mend and in a few years the foliage will be back between the sites. Aluminum recycling near the dumpster which is always appreciated.

This is a small campground out in the middle of no where. Closest town is Bristol which is 14 miles away. Bristol has groceries and gas there. We like parks that are not close to cities so this park was perfect for us and we do plan to visit again. There is not much to do in the park except relax. Trails are too strenuious for seniors and as another posted - watch out for the copperhead snakes. The staff was very friendly and informative. The park is still in recovery from Hurricane Michael in 2018 - this park was beat up bad. Most of the sites were level with only a few having a hump in the center of the site. The sites with the humps were a little tight on the sides and depth. This park had the best cell service compared to the other near by state parks. Price is senior rate.

Must have been some upgrades. All sites have individual water and power hookups. Paved then short gravel road into the campground. Sites are grassy and level. The sites on the exit side of the loop are large, plenty of vegetation screening in between. Site 29 is awesome, 30 next door is very nice. Area and bathrooms are super tidy. The campground is like a small park. Nothing around just good camping.

Our kind of park. No frills, old school, dirt roads. Bathrooms and hiking trails, that’s it. Camping sites are on the highest plateau so you see the park all around. Best site 19. Not too much distance or foliage between sites, so limited privacy. But the laid back nature of the campers made it very relaxing and chill. Ranger super sweet and cool. You can still see some of the Hurricane Michael damage but it’s definitely recovering. Trails are also legit hiking trails - relatively undeveloped, dirt, muddy at times, narrow in some areas, buggy (ticks), snakes, very cool. Torreya loop trail is moderate (steep ups and downs, creek and tree crossings) and good hiking shoes and long pants (some thorny areas) a must. We did not do the second loop trail called the Torreya challenge. Sign at its entrance describes it as arduous taking 6 hrs for 6 miles.

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.
