I lived in north Florida for 12 years, and each December I tried to get up here to check out the lights, which are AMAZING.

Great campground. Paved access, nice sites with nice spaces. And a great dump station unlike some other FL SPs. Lots of hiking and biking trails off road. Exceeded my expectations. The museum and carrilion bell tower should be included in your visit. Quite interesting and doesn’t take a lot of time. Sad, however, that some of the buildings need serious repair.

October 2025 - ok - so there are two sets of trails. One set belongs to the Park and one set belongs to the Florida Heritage Trail system. The park trails are somewhat maintained but seldom used. The FHT system is in deep need of upkeep and rarely used. The following pics are from the SFF Park trails and cabin area.

We stopped in for an overnight, booking online was simple, the ranger who greeted us was extremely helpful. The sights are spacious and spread apart for privacy. The restrooms are clean and they have outside laundry, we don’t have time to explore, but will make time durning next stop on our way to Orange Beach or Nashville. It looks as though the hurricane has some lasting impacts, I hope they get the funding to bring it back to its original beauty.

Camped, self-contained unit. Looked in on bath house; seemed clean and had everything one needed. Laundry facilities just outside bath house. Museum in grounds very interesting and educational. Learned things about Stephen Foster I did not know. Unfortunately, lots of damage to buildings and trees from last year’s October hurricanes; it is still being cleaned up. Lots of trails to hike. An enjoyable park.
