About

The campground features 10 individual campsites plus one group camping area that accommodates up to 15 people, all available on a first-come, first-served basis. The site offers basic amenities including vault toilets and seasonal drinking water from a hand pump, typically available from June through September. Campers should be prepared to pack out all trash as the campground operates under a Pack It In, Pack It Out refuse policy. A day use area with picnic tables is also available. The St. Joe River provides excellent recreational opportunities including fishing and scenic floating. Tubing and floating are popular activities through mid-July when water levels remain adequate.
