Florida Caverns State Park Campground

Brand new road leading from the gate the caverns and the camping area.
Camping loop road is somewhat narrow and sites are perpendicular to the road, otherwise sites are well spaced, pea gravel and level. It appears most sites have sewer, but there is a dump station about halfway back out the park.
Sadly Hurricane Michael in 2018 did a number on all the larger/older trees so the majority of tree cover is gone; easily another 10-15yrs before anything resembling a canopy returns.
Cavern tour was fantastic and saw lots of deer on the way back after dinner.

If you don’t mind the live action at night from all the cool bats then this is the place for you! Spacious sites, full hook ups at the RV sites and walking distance to pretty much everything on the grounds. 1500 acres of wilderness! Also you can bring your little ponies and horsies too! They have stables for them to hang while you get your swim on in the watering hole that’s spring fed and a brisk 65!

Recently renovated after hurricane Michael, this CG is a delight. The sites are far enough apart, there is some privacy, not many trees, but there are some tall ones for shade and scenery. The bat house at the bath house is a treat. pleasant, easy trail to the Blue Hole "swimming" area, too many gators for us! The Cavern Tours and the hikes around the cavern entrance are the highlight of this CG. Close to town. Bath house needed more detailed cleaning. The sites are very level and drained well. Surface is rock, not sand. There was some CG construction during the week days which may noise, but we left

This is a great park. I would definitely camp here again. Staff was all very friendly and helpful. The other campers were friendly and would chat with their fellow campers. So that you can came prepared, there is little to no shade and it gets hot in full sun. This campground lost most of the tree cover from Hurricane Michael in 2018. Their trees are starting to come back but it is a slow process. It looked like they were preparing to fix the roads inside the park. We passed on the Cavern tour on this trip since we had toured the cavern in the past - it is added to our bucket list to tour on our next visit there. It was very quiet. One thing I can say is that the park trail maps could use some improvement. We had full hook ups that was upgraded after Hurricane Michael. Some sites are tight to back into and you just need to pay attention to the site length when you book. Not a lot of space between each site but still not too close. As I said above - great park and look forward to booking another trip there. On our Verizon cell service - we had 4G in the camper and up by the museum and gift shop we had 5G. Our nightly rate is the Florida senior citizen rate.

Florida Caverns State Park is small, very quiet and has plenty to do and see. The sites are large but not much privacy. This didn’t matter at all because everyone was friendly and courteous. Several nice hikes on multi use trails, bikes, hikers and horses. Only saw other hikers on this trip. Swam in the swimming hole, very refreshing. The highlight of the trip was the cave tour. Our guide, Steve, was knowledgeable, friendly and very engaging. The caves are amazing!!
We would definitely stay here again. The camp hosts came by each evening to see if we needed firewood! Very nice!

My husband and I differ on this SP. I’d go back. We both liked the level gravel site. No blocks needed. The cavern tour was lovely. The guide was less than enthusiastic but the caverns spoke for themselves. Wonderful! Traveling in our class B, we left it hooked up in the site keeping the pup cool in AC. No bikes so we walked to the caverns from site, 1.7 miles each way. No big deal for us, however it was all road and no shade. Bikes would have been handy.
Ladies wash house was fine! Mens was really dirty, but he had frogs jumping around in there for company.
Hiking trails very disappointing. Ok for a horse! Long grass and not maintained. We did enjoy finding the ranger geocaches.

Ravaged by Michael in 2018, it is now under controlled burns to clear the under brush which was struggling. Some of the fires got nasty so there were firefighters around as well as lots of restrictions including no campground fires and limited grilling. Staff, volunteers, everyone was super nice and they offered refunds for those wishing to leave. Park has no tree canopy so all camping sites are under full sun and have no privacy in between. Otherwise, park is vast and cute. There’s actually a beauty to the downed and burnt foliage. You can see it as the end of something or the beginning of something else. Facilities are almost all new and very clean. The few trails are pretty and easy. The blue hole is cool looking as are the caverns. A one or two night camp sort of place.
