Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park

White Springs, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Electric/water

We stayed here for two nights and paid $34.70 per night. We had pull-thru site 34. The campground is small and most of the sites have some privacy. Water and electric are available at the sites but there is no sewer hookup. There is a dump station at the entrance. We really enjoyed this campground. It was quiet and peaceful. They have a free museum dedicated to Stephen Foster, an 1800s American song composer of 200+ songs including “Oh! Suzanna”. The museum contains dioramas from the 1950s which are incredibly detailed and animated. The park also borders the Suwannee River. The town of White Springs is small but was the home of a sulfur springs resort in the 1800s so it was a popular tourist destination. Unfortunately, you can no longer go up on the sulfur springs platform. We did not camp here long enough to have a lot of recommendations on activities. Tip: When you reserve a site online, it may show up on your credit card statement as “Tyler Technologies”. (Dec 2023)

• Suwannee Hardware and Feed: They have tools, antiques, and a neat outdoor area.

Thousand Trails Three Flags

Wildwood, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full hookup

We stayed here for two weeks and paid $0 per night as Thousand Trail members. It was our first experience with a Thousand Trails campground. When we arrived, we were driven around in a golf cart to look at the available sites. We picked a beautiful site next to a cow pasture (site 148). The campground has many amenities including a recreation center with many community run activities, a pool, pickleball courts, a large laundry room, and a dog park. We received several text messages from management to ask if everything was going well with our stay. The campground was fairly quiet and the people were friendly. Many things to do nearby. (Dec 2023)

• The Villages, Brownwood Paddock Square: Live music every night in the town squares.
• Universal Studios: We really enjoyed the Harry Potter attractions.
• Kennedy Space Center: We watched a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch.
• Ponce Inlet Dog Beach: Our boys loved walking on the beach.

T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park

Port St. Joe, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full hookup

This is a brand new campground. We were told by the camp host that a storm wiped out the previous campground and the current one was built within the past year. It’s very nice. There is no shade from trees but the sites are spaced wide apart. We had site 14. There are tent sites with screened in platforms to pitch a tent. There is a 1.6 mile trail that can be accessed from the campground entrance. There are no views of the water from the campground due to the dunes but there is access to the beach. There are washers and dryers at each of the two restroom buildings. The park’s gate is closed at night so you will need a passcode to get in. We paid $39.72 per night. (Jan 2024)

• Apalachicola: A cute town with unique shops and restaurants.
• Port St. Joe: Another town to explore.

St. Andrew’s State Park

Panama City Beach, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full hookup

We only stayed one night at this campground. We paid $45.90 for the night. The campground is right on the water and we were lucky to have a site bordering the water. It was quiet and seemed well maintained. There is a locked gate to get into the campground which is used 24/7 so you will need a passcode. There are enclosed tent platforms. There is a big playground for kids and adults. They have a large checker board and corn hole. There is also a shuttle to Shell Island but we were not here long enough to explore. (Jan 2024)

Eustis, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full Hookup

We stayed at this campground for two weeks and paid $0 per night at Thousand Trails members. We stayed in campsite 777 which was on the edge of the property next to a residential area. The campground offered shuffle board, a pool, a gathering hall with a small library, and a laundry room. They offered a Wednesday night happy hour with two free drinks and chips. The campground was clean and quiet although road noise did not die down until after midnight. (Nov-Dec 2025)
