About
Sand Pond Group Camp is a youth-focused group camping facility within Pine Log State Forest, Florida's first state forest acquired in 1936. Located approximately 14 miles north of Panama City Beach in Washington County, this separate camping area caters to organized groups seeking a primitive camping experience in a scenic natural setting. The campground offers two group tent sites, each accommodating up to 20 people. Facilities include access to restrooms and showers at the nearby main campground, two small picnic pavilions, fire rings, picnic tables, and a fishing pier on Sand Pond. Potable water is available, though sites do not have electric hookups. Pine Log State Forest encompasses approximately 7,000 acres of diverse natural communities including sandhills, flatwoods, cypress ponds, and titi swamps. Recreational activities include fishing, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, swimming, bird watching, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, and hunting in season. The forest's proximity to Panama City Beach attractions makes it a convenient basecamp for groups exploring the Florida Panhandle.
