The camp was well maintained, and the gentleman host was very nice. There are these huge ant hills that are intimidating if you are not a Florida native, but they were not loaded with ants. We just stepped around them. The bathrooms were clean and even had TP. We camped in the field next to the horse stalls. The wooded area will be my next spot. Lots of shady Oaks and also sun close enough to a camp table. Some spots had fire pits. We got the last one. I would stay again.

The camping host were very welcoming, and helpful. Lake panasakee wildlife management takes reservations online. It is clean and quiet with bathrooms and potable water. Generator use during set hours. Keep your camera handy because the wildlife is phenomenal.

Beautiful FLA scenery. Huge campsites for dry camping. Dogs welcomed. Flush toilets, non-potable water, Camp Host on-site and no gate access code required; though reservations are mandatory. Peaceful. This place is so quiet and a throwback to old florida. Check out an off-leash dog park nearby. Then grab a fresh, delicious lunch (porch dinning) at Catfish Johnny's. This is the first dog-friendly trail that I've found so far. We will be back.

We drive by sometimes but never had stopped. It was really nice except for boat and trailer parking. That is actually across the street and looks like a real pain. You have to come in here..unload your boat..leave it go back out across traffic in a curve with everyone speeding...cross the street.park ...then walk back over...doesn't look fun or very practical. Especially if it's during one of our lovely summer storms and everyone tries to bail at the same time.

Not at this park. Tent or RV camping only. And car/ vanlife camping too. This is primitive or dry camping.

Is there a shooting range?

Rob McClusky | Sep 5, 2020

No.

Primitive camping? Do you have to reserve a year in advance like the national/state parks? Are there vehicles trails? My girlfriend can't hike very long distances because of a knee injury. Could we putt putt around the trails on a motorcycle?

Definitely don't need much notice to reserve tent camping. Go to website and create your account and then you will be able to put your dates in up to 7 days at a time... And it will tell you if they are reserved or not. I don't think you can take motorized vehicles on the trails though at least not without special permission. However all that information is also on the website I skimmed over it myself as I was not personally looking for it in the past so I'm not for certain.

You need to get a free permit from their website.

Are there guided walks? Thanks

Doug Fitzsimmons | Sep 6, 2019

No there are no guided walks. We ride the equestrian trails regularly. We find them easy to navigate however the old map and new map make it more confusing then it really is. The jones creek trail is the main trail and there is good footing for equines on the loops trails that connect them so if you're not sure go to main trail and head back to trail head. Enjoy
