Always love coming to Reed Bingham. Clean sites, plenty of room to stretch out, lots of shade trees. Bathrooms are well stocked and cleaned often. Site 30 in a FHU pull through that backs up to the forest so plenty of privacy.

Sad to have to write an unfavorable review about a Florida a State Park. While the fort itself and the day use areas in this park are fabulous, the actual camping facilities are not up to the usual high standards. We stayed in the original loop river campground, which had a ton of beautiful trees canopied over each site, however, the sites had not been kept up and were in need of refreshing. The roads were very narrow and unpaved. The Trees canopied over each site, however, the sites had not been kept up and were in need of refreshing. The sites themselves were dirt and mostly covered with leaves, so if you are a tent camping, it would definitely be more comfortable than gravel, however, it was a real mess for RV campers. Each site has a picnic table, a grill, fire, pit, combo, electricity, and water, and a clothesline. The centrally located bathhouse was surprisingly clean and also pleasantly air-conditioned. They each had laundry facilities as well. The beach loop had paved roads and much nicer campsites. Each loop also has a dump station. However, the river campground had a dump station with the hook ups on the incorrect side of the road, so unless you are using a tote, it was not possible to use without going to the day use area, and turning your vehicle around to face the proper way.

The day use area was beautiful and had a wonderful bike wash and maintenance set up, as well as a covered birdwatching station. Lots of hiking trails and an TON of wildlife to see! And of course, the fort itself was incredible! The location near Amelia Island would definitely keep you busy for several days, however, we won’t be coming back to this campground due to the site Maintenance issues.

A great little park in South Georgia! The volunteers were exceptional and were seen working all the time! The bathhouse was stocked and clean however there were no fans or AC so it was very warm. Our pull thru site #1 was very large and had plenty of room for our 24’ TT and truck. The trails were well kept and provided a nice morning walk as did the day use areas. The park provided WiFi but we did not use it so can’t speak to its strength. E did have 2 bars on ATT with no issues streaming or talk/text. We will be back when the weather cools off!

This is our first visit to the area and we were blown away at how nice this park is! Only 30 sites in 2 loops, each site featuring FHU with clean gravel, picnic table, fire pit, clothesline, and grill. We stayed in 16 and had a corner spot with plenty of privacy. The hosts pick up trash from your site each morning as the dumpster is located in the day use area around the corner. Aluminum can recycling near the bathhouse is always a great find! The bathhouse was clean and stocked but no AC so a bit warm during our stay. No laundry but we didn’t need it yet so not a concern. The private beach at the river was pretty and the hiking trails were wonderful with lots to look at! Check in was a breeze and the hosts and rangers were very pleasant. One teeny tiny bar on both ATT and T-Mobile hotspot but once the day use closed we were able to stream easily. Several OTA antenna channels available. We had a GREAT time and will be back in the fall!

We were here for a conference at Kennesaw State and enjoyed having the flexibility of the camper instead of a sterile hotel. We were glad to have snagged a FHU pull thru in the first loop. Road noise was present but not bad. Very glad to have the security of a gate code 24/7 to keep day use visitors out. Bath house was not air conditioned but well stocked and tidy. We did laundry twice and the equipment was in good condition. The star of the show was ALL THE DEER! We saw 8 the first evening alone! Each morning and evening we had deer walking along the path by our camper. As mentioned many of the sites are either up or down hill so take it slow. Hosts were friendly. One downside is that the campground is separated from the day use and hiking areas by a busy road with no bike path so we didn’t get to visit those areas. We will add this to our list for when we can get this far north again!

What an amazing park! There are 4 RV loops, a tent loop, and cabins/bungalows for non-mobile friends. This state park was originally a resort in Santa Rosa Beach, and when the state park system took it over, they left the amenities, including full hook ups, pool, shuffleboard, huge, laundry room, paved, walking trails to the dunes, and heated/cooled bathhouses. We stayed in loop 103 which is the largest and furthest from the main entrance. At $45 a night you pay more than a typical state park but the FHU and spotless grounds make up for it. Fire pits/grills are not provided but you can bring portable ones. Most sites in have vegetation between them with the exception of the uppermost loop 100 which is on the entrance road. There are (literally) miles of paved walking paths which are closed to cars so wonderful for bikes and pedestrians. A tram shuttle runs every hour to the park beach and a coastal lake, both with restrooms and water fountains. Lots of bike racks to store your bike while you explore. Even has an on-site coffee shop on the camp store! Just outside the park there is 14 mile paved walking/bike path that runs along the coastal road through villages and towns with plenty of places to eat and shop. Reservations are hard to come by, but keep checking back and snag a cancellation!

Add Cloudland Canyon to your camping list! There are 2 RV/tent loops with the East Rim being the closest to hiking trails and epic views and the West Rim quieter and tucked back into the woods. There is also a tent only area, primitive campsites, cabins, yurts, and group sites so you’re sure to find exactly what you need! The RV/tent sites have water, electric, fire pits, grills, and picnic tables. Each loop has a dump station plus gray water drains situated around for dishwater etc. They have just renovated and enlarged the sites and added a brand new bathhouse (with heat!) and laundry. If you get bored looking at the incredible canyon and waterfalls, there are many trails (some easy and paved, some strenuous), caving, disc golf, tons of biking trails, and Chattanooga is about 30 minutes away. Go see Ruby Falls and Rock City! We consistently had 2 bars on both ATT and T-Mobile for keeping up with March Madness however the tower is on the next mountain over so it depends on your line of sight.

We were part of a Trail Maintenance work crew and stayed in the campground, Site 9. Ours was one of the 2 paved sites so enjoyed having a little less dirt to track in the camper. Solid picnic table and in ground fire pit/grill at each site. The bathrooms are SPOTLESS and heated in the cooler months. Rangers and hosts were wonderful and checked in on the crew many times. Always had 2 or 3 bars on both ATT and T Mobile with several TV channels. As mentioned there isn’t much to do which is part of the attraction. The trees are on the mend and in a few years the foliage will be back between the sites. Aluminum recycling near the dumpster which is always appreciated.

Great little state park just off I-10 in North Florida. Only 30 sites and all are FHU. It’s in the middle of a pine forest so not much vegetation between sites but most are fully shaded with the tree cover. Our site #10 had sewer hook up at the edge of the road so difficult to use but we made it work before we left. The booking site says sites are gravel but they are actually for, so be sure to bring a mat and broom. Bathhouse was SPOTLESS and had 3 showers and 4 stalls each. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water, plus a separate changing area and bench in the shower stall. Trails were in good shape and the scenery along the river was beautiful! Rangers and volunteers were wonderful.

We stayed 3 nights over the Memorial Day Weekend in quiet loop 5. The site itself was perfect - tucked into the trees with no neighbors on our patio side or behind us. Our site had 30 amp service but several on the loop had 50 as well. The roads are narrow but we had no trouble with our little TT. Bigger rigs will need to use caution in some areas, but everyone seemed to do just fine this weekend. Our site had a concrete picnic table in the corner and a fire pit with grill. Some sites had wooden tables instead. Wonderful and well marked hiking trail system with many options for either short hikes or day long treks. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the bath house couldn’t keep up with the full campground, many more tenters and pop-ups than they were used to. Twice there was no hot water in the showers and by the last day 3 of the toilets were out of service and the floors/counters were a mess. Not really the parks fault, but knowing the sites would be packed with larger groups it would have been nice to have more regular cleaning. We’re ended up just using our facilities and running the tote to the dump station each day instead.
