We stayed here right in our airstream right after it reopened after hurricane michael. The even park is brand new and very clean and plenty of space between each site. The caverns tour was really cool and everyone who works here is so nice. The blue hole is beautiful but it was too cold to swim. We also ate at two local restaurants that were so good. One was a Greek restaurant called Mashawy Restaurant that was right at the entrance to the park. The lamb chops were to die for! The next night we drive 13 miles to Landshark Restaurant that had some of the best seafood we have ever had, and we are from Louisiana so we are used to good seafood. The raw oysters were literally the best we’ve ever had. And the fried crab claws and catfish were perfectly fried, crispy and delicious. We highly recommend this park!

Florida Caverns is a terrific state park. It's quiet, the spots have adequate privacy, and the tree canopy is lovely. In addition, the tour of the cavern was just great. It's not an enormous cavern like Carlsbad or Luray but does have many beautiful formations. Worth the $8 tour fee. There is also a private flashlight tour of the caves in the evening, ask at the gift shop as it's not widely advertised.
We intended to stay four nights but left early due to the massive amounts of mosquitos, even during the day-time. Even doused in bug spray we were eaten alive on the trails during the day. In the evening we had a lovely fire going that we had to put out in less than 10 minutes and go eat dinner inside because we were getting bit terribly. Since we could not do much of anything outdoors either day or nighttime, we left after 3 nights.
Our stay was unfortunately disappointing as it would have been cool to just chill at the campsite in a hammock all day but that was just not possible. Perhaps it is more manageable at a different time of year, we stayed in early September.

Florida Caverns State Park is such a cool place. Full hookups, small campground, wooded, satisfactory bathhouse and restroom with plenty of hot water, miles of hiking and riding trails, fishing, canoeing, swimming, and even a good restaurant in town if you want to enjoy southern fried cuisine. About four miles from our campsite, Jim’s Buffet and Grill in downtown Marianna offered up the best fried catfish I have ever had, not to mention fried chicken that was comparable to the best I have ever eaten. Baked chicken and pulled pork rounded out the protein with among other choices such as cooked cabbage, mustard greens, rutabaga, lima beans, and a huge salad bar. Of course, with any southern themed restaurant, the dessert bar was enormous with lemon meringue pie and banana pudding highlighting the choices.
The wooded trails around the park are what will bring us back here. The landscape is beautiful and the paths well-marked and maintained, with little to no activity on them as most campers are most likely inside their trailers watching television and the visitors to the park are on the cavern tour or browsing the large gift shop.

Overall our experience and stay here was great. Amanda at the park entrance was extremely friendly as well as the other park rangers we met during our stay here. The park entrance is tight if you have a larger rig and the road into the campground is narrow, especially if you were to meet a larger rig coming the other way but we had no issues. It is a beautiful ride in.
The campground is a loop with a narrow road, but again we had no issues. We both work remotely and had no issues with cell coverage (Verizon) during our stay. With the booster we got 3 bars at times. The campground has 2 washers ($1.50) and 2 dryers ($1.00). During our stay one of the washers was out of order, but it was quickly replaced with a new washer. There are showers. We took a peek at them and they seemed pretty clean. There is also a vending machine by the washers and dryers.
We did the cavern tour which we would definitely recommend if you stay here. It is a ways from the campground (3 miles). If you do the tour in the morning you want to arrive early. It is first come first serve. You are not able to buy your tickets ahead of time. We believe you can if you are doing the night tour. There is a swimming hole in the park close to the campground. We didn't use. We did see someone swimming in it. It just didn't seem that inviting, but it may have been the time of year. We stayed here end of February, beginning of March. The mosquitoes are brutal so bring your bug spray.
This was one of our favorite Florida State Parks we stayed out. We definitely recommend staying here.

We LOVED this place. Smaller campground with all types of camping. We have a 24 foot pull behind trailer and it fit great and was nice and private. We stayed in site 24 which backs up to the woods and my kids could explore their little hearts out. It was close to the bathroom without anyone being right in front of you. The bathrooms were great (nicely heated and lots of privacy for showering and changing). The 2 washers and dryers were great to have too. We stayed mid December and there was hardly anyone there. We took a cavern tour and we ended up being the only ones on the tour. Make sure you check when school kids are scheduled because they block out some of the times for that. The cavern tour was amazing for me and my kids. We really learned a lot and it was amazing to see the cavern...it really is something special. We took lots of hikes to the blue pool, behind the caverns (which have more caves), and on their other trails with our dogs. We loved this place. We would definitely go again!
If you want a yummy quick meal nearby, check out The Wharf. They have great seafood options and great food!

This is a beautiful campground the provides easy access to a wonderful guided tour of the Florida Caverns. if you go during a popular time, it is a good idea to get to the beautiful CCC-built tour office and museum by 8:30, so you can sign up for the first tour at 9 and view the exhibits. Beside the fact that the tours can fill up, there is limited parking for rigs, so arriving early is doubly wise.
This park Is very convenient to the I-10, so if you're passing through north Florida, as we were, it makes for a great thing to do. We got the 50% discount for Florida seniors; the regular rate is still only $20/night for a water and electric site, plus the $6.75 fee for Reserve America.
I only gave four stars for site quality because it was somewhat overgrown and needed mowing. The office was aware, but said the site had been so busy they couldn't mow it. It's a pretty campground.

We liked this small campground more than expected. Even though it was spring break during our stay and the campground was full of families, our site was on the end of the loop with just enough trees to create a bit of privacy. We enjoyed our generously sized site and were pleasantly surprised to discover the full utility hook-ups. For only $20/night this was quite the deal.
Aside from the campground, there are trails to hike, a river to kayak, a sink hole for swimming, and of course, caverns to tour. We did it all except for swimming (too cold at that time of year).
One thing to note about cell service. If you're like us and work while traveling this is not the most ideal spot. The coverage I reported is without a booster. With a booster we got 1 bar of AT&T 4G and 2 bars of Verizon LTE, but it was very, very slow. I did get a better signal in the open field near the picnic area.

We came here specifically to see the caves. Having recently gone to Mammoth Caves my expectations weren't too high however I was pleasantly surprised! While not even close to the size of the Mammoth Cave complex, the caves here still were impressive and had a few features I had not seen before. This being my 4th cave experience. In summary, if you're here, see the caves!
The campground was small but okay. Sites were sandy and if it rains a bunch, muddy. Nice, clean bathrooms with showers and laundry. The swimming hole wasn't opened and I hope it looks more inticing when it is open. It looked like a alligator home when I was there.
The downside: the campground is far away from things you'd want. The visitors center (where the cave tours start) is 2 miles away and firewood, only available at the Ranger Station is 3 miles away. No easy access to either via a trail or shuttle so we walked down the road 2 miles both ways to visit the cave. You can rent canoes which looked like fun if we had stayed longer. Everything was reasonably priced.

Nice wide back in site, a little sandy but not a problem, pretty level. They were only offering flashlight tours of the caverns so we passed on that. There is geo caching in the park and we did find one which is always fun. No problem with cell coverage. We did not use facilities but seemed to be fine. If we are back in the area we would definitely stay again.
