Blackwater River State Park Camping

This is our first visit to the area and we were blown away at how nice this park is! Only 30 sites in 2 loops, each site featuring FHU with clean gravel, picnic table, fire pit, clothesline, and grill. We stayed in 16 and had a corner spot with plenty of privacy. The hosts pick up trash from your site each morning as the dumpster is located in the day use area around the corner. Aluminum can recycling near the bathhouse is always a great find! The bathhouse was clean and stocked but no AC so a bit warm during our stay. No laundry but we didn’t need it yet so not a concern. The private beach at the river was pretty and the hiking trails were wonderful with lots to look at! Check in was a breeze and the hosts and rangers were very pleasant. One teeny tiny bar on both ATT and T-Mobile hotspot but once the day use closed we were able to stream easily. Several OTA antenna channels available. We had a GREAT time and will be back in the fall! PS as with most FL State Parks, plan on using CampNab to snag a spot!

This is a typical Florida state park that is clean and well-maintained. It's far west in the Panhandle and doesn't get a lot of traffic so it makes for a nice, quiet retreat. The campground is very nice and I recommend this park.
