About
Falling Waters State Park Campground is the base camp for experiencing Florida's only waterfall, a 73-foot cascade that descends into a cylindrical sinkhole. The 24 sites are set on sturdy gravel and milled asphalt pads measuring approximately 50 feet long by 24 feet wide. All sites include water and 20/30/50-amp electric hookups, while sites 1-7 and 16-21 add full sewer connections. Each site comes equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. The campground sits in a shaded upland longleaf pine forest and features a full-service bathhouse with hot showers and flush toilets. A dump station is available for RV waste disposal. Five pull-through sites accommodate larger rigs, though some back-in sites can be tight for vehicles over 40 feet. Beyond the campground, a half-mile boardwalk trail leads to the waterfall overlook, winding past additional sinkholes and through wiregrass and wildflower meadows. The park's spring-fed lake offers swimming (no lifeguards) and fishing from shore or the ADA-accessible pier. Ranger-led programs at the amphitheater and a butterfly garden round out the recreational offerings.
