1st time here recently. Stayed at a CCC cabin. Price was good, they are old but had everything we needed. They were Lakefront, but NOT like the pictures! Due to much overgrowth of bushes, etc. to prevent views of water ! The cabin needs a thorough cleaning! There were bits of food in kitchen sink drain- some blinds are broken, need replacing. Areas around baseboards, behind bathroom sink,etc.havent been cleaned in long time. A dollar tree air freshener (strong, weird smell) was stuck in kitchen w/ window open to soften the smell, on our arrival. A fresh coat of paint would go a long way, on doors, wood chairs on porch, porch wood, etc..No TV’s in cabins, very QUIET so go for that and read & relax! Trails around were nice (Ridge, & Mill trail, tho there ISNT a Mill! 1 st sign needs replacing stating that, you don’t know til we’ll into the trail when you see a sign that is still visible). )The Recreation area is nice,hardly anyone there (weekday). Drove the campground, one loop is nice w/ shaded lots,(Lakeview Loop tho there really isn’t a lake view?) the other Loop isn’t nice, with little shade, etc..They say it’s busy on wknds.Keystone heights is close enough to enjoy restaurants, some shopping, etc.. If we went again we would pay more & get the more modern cabin, or largest cabins, still priced well.

Beautiful state park. Very well maintained. We got there early to hike the trails before it got too crowded. Great hiking trails. There are plenty of side trails that lead to a small stream. Highly recommend visiting.

Very pretty! It was mesmerizing, driving up to our campsite and seeing the tall yellow grass shining in the afternoon sun, endless rows of trees, and deer. The lake is very picturesque and dotted with lily pads. The campground was well-equipped with a grill, a picnic table, and tons of space for our large 10-person tent. There were plenty of perfectly spaced trees for setting up a hammock. My 2 year old had a blast. We fell asleep to a view of the stars under pine tree branches and we woke up to the sound of birds and geese. All in all, it was a very relaxing trip and we’d be happy to come back.

Beautiful park with a main trail that goes along a ravine. While the trails are short, the Florida state trail also runs through the park. The campgrounds were nice with electricity, water and a fire ring. The park store sold fire wood, ice and souvenirs.

A wonderful park! We stayed in one of the cabins for three nights and had a great time. Check in was very easy, and the staff were super kind. The cabin itself was clean and cozy, and had a good amount of amenities. Area was was calm and quiet, and very beautiful. I will definitely be returning!
