Blackwater River State Park Campground

About

Blackwater River State Park Campground provides 30 sites spread across two camping loops surrounded by the scenic longleaf pine and magnolia forest of the Florida panhandle. Each site offers full hookups with 20, 30, and 50 amp electric service, potable water, and sewer connections. Every site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and grill, with spacious gravel pads accommodating everything from tents to 50-foot RVs. The campground features a well-maintained restroom building with flush toilets and hot showers located centrally between the two loops, accessible via boardwalk. The Magnolia Loop includes a playground easily visible from most sites. Three ADA-accessible sites offer concrete pads and are positioned near the restrooms. A dump station is available on the campground road, and an on-site convenience store sells firewood, ice, and RV supplies. The park provides access to the Blackwater River, known as one of the purest sand-bottom rivers in the world. Popular activities include canoeing, kayaking, tubing, swimming, fishing, and hiking the Chain of Lakes Nature Trail. The river's dark, tannin-stained waters flow through pristine sandhills, making this an ideal basecamp for exploring northwest Florida's waterways.
