This is our third visit here every time we came it never rained so the falls was just a trickle but this time the day we arrived it was raining we walked to the waterfalls and it was flowing like never before the place is always quiet the roads could use some love other than that we enjoy the stop here.

This is our second time to this park. We stayed here in 2015 in a different rig. It has changed a lot over the past 4 years with all the hurricanes and storms. It is a small park and the spaces are close together leaving little privacy but we got here Monday (after Tropical Storm Nestor) so it was only half full. The falls were flowing since the storms dropped a bunch of water. Camp hosts and rangers are great. Chipley is a nice little town. Bathrooms are among the cleanest we have ever seen.

Only did one night stay during Memorial Wknd. Looked like most of the sites were booked. I did primitive camping, so it was mixed with RV's. Still not horrible. I'd rec. an out laying camp area..
Decent bath house, clean. Dish washing area also.
Site 20 was sandy, still not an issue. Sites were close to each other.
Trees for a hammock. Fire circle with grill attached.
The trail to the lake was right near it, which was awesome. A short walk to the lake, swimming area with a bath house.
Take floaties or whatever for kids.
The hike to the waterfall wasn't long, doable for small kids. Mine is 7 and it was a breeze for him. Not many trails for more hiking aside from camp site to lake and to the waterfall.

We wanted to check out Florida caverns but unfortunately hurricane Michael prevented Any camping for the time we wanted to go, so we decided to check out Falling waters instead.
I would recommend booking an exterior site. That is going to be your best bet at any kind of privacy. My small family and some friends stayed for three nights. My friend had his tent and I had my pop-up camper. when we first got there there was this kid that would sit on the picnic table drinking his Capri Sun and a literally would just stare at me. It’s like he was digging into my soul with his eyeballs. I finally had enough of it, especially when the parents wouldn’t even tell the little kid to stop staring in our direction so I took a huge tarp and we hung it up on some trees to create a wall. I felt bad about doing it, but this family was something out of deliverance, so it only felt bad for about three seconds until I forgot about them on the other side of the tarp and the margaritas started setting in. Little to no privacy on the interior areas.
The other bad thing is that it is a dry county. Bring your own booze or else you are going to be stuck drinking puke Road brewery all weekend long. No liquor stores around in the beer selection is seriously horse piss.
The good things about the park are the bathrooms are super clean and they have family bathrooms. It’s a beautiful area right in the tall pine trees in the waterfall is more impressive than I expected. Everyone who is staying there was extremely nice in the park rangers are extremely cool. The place is also dog friendly. We also went canoeing and found a cool spring which was pretty fun.
This campground overall is pretty nice, and I’d bring my family again if Florida caverns wasn’t available.
Just for pure entertainment value, I highly recommend you go check out karaoke on Saturday night at the local Mexican restaurant called Cancun. Trust me when I tell you, you don’t want to miss that.

This state park boasts of having Florida’s Tallest Waterfall. A twenty foot wide cylindrical sinkhole one hundred feet deep catches the cascading water falling seventy-three feet and disappears into a cave at the base. It is very pretty. The campground also boasts that one of the first oil wells in Florida was drilled here in 1919 but ended in commercial failure. The park brochure also states that campers can "spend the night on one of the highest hills in Florida. Situated in a pine forest 324 feet above sea level, it is one of the nicest campgrounds anywhere." Well, that is not exactly true. Florida has numerous state campgrounds and most all of them are superior facilities with plenty of foliage, hiking, biking, and water activities. This campground is clean, but Michael definitely made his mark on her with fallen timber and green leaves blown off remaining trees and bushes. Of note, the restrooms at Falling Waters are also clean, with good showers, plenty of hot water, but the campsites have little to no privacy. The sites however are level and the clean gravel drives keeps the dirt out of the camper. Our AT&T service was two bars of 4G so that was good for streaming the DirectTV Now application, writing a bit, and getting a few emails answered.
The hiking trails are being cleaned up, with detours and modifications made since Hurricane Michael blasted through last year. New elaborate viewing platforms were being constructed during our visit restricting the use of some trails, and not all the remaining limited trails were open for hiking. On our one full day here we took the same hike as the day before but this time we went to the picnic and playground area hit hard by Michael. The vista was pretty awesome and we noticed the fence line. We decided to take the unmarked two-track all around the park boundary as far as we could. We turned back at a point almost connecting to our campground but downed tree prevented us from going further. That was great hike and not included as one of the park’s amenities. Riding a bicycle is certainly a challenge for anyone with a disability such as myself with bad knees. Believe it or not, the hills are actually beasts to climb on a three or seven speed bike. Still, all in all a good camping experience, but a bit of a disappointment for us due to the limited hiking, hill-hard bicycling, and lack of privacy. The unfortunate poverty in the area, and devastation due to Michael for miles surrounding us on the way in, was also disheartening to say the least. It will take a very long time for the Florida panhandle to recover from the effects of that violent storm.

Small campground, the bottom half of the stairs the waterfall were closed when I was there but I really didn't think they were as cool as they seemed online. Had no problems but the place was a little rougher looking. Was just passing through though.
