High Bluff Campground

This was a "nice for the price" sort of place. It's primitive camping four miles down a dirt road on the banks of Lake Talquin. The only facilities are toilets that I didn't inspect. I was the only camper in the campground for 3 of the 4 days I was there. The majority of the traffic coming in and out of the park was boaters coming to use the ramp, fishers coming for the pier, and the occasional Forestry Department employee. Most of the time I was completely alone. It was quiet and serene. The campground is located just off of the Great Florida Birding Trail and there were hundreds of birds in the park. Every morning I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping.

On Saturday night a few other campers showed up, but they were quiet and kept to themselves. I think this campground mostly caters to tent campers, as the sites are very small and difficult to maneuver into. Of the 30-something sites, I saw about 12 that would accommodate ~25 feet and 4-5 that would accommodate something larger (maybe up to 35-40 feet). The sites are all very close together with little/no privacy between.

If you like fishing or boating or need easy access to Tallahassee, this is a great, affordable place to stay.

Nice place for the price. We stayed in our 32' camper arriving the weekend before Thanksgiving 2018. There were a few folks camping on the weekends and a straggler here and there throughout the weeks. Some nights can be a bit busier with the fishing pier and boat ramp but it's still quiet.

We were there right after hurricane Micheal so firewood was plentiful. Coming and going from the park requires passing over 6-9 speed humps which can get tiring every time you want to go somewhere.

Rural, rustic, lake, fishing, kayaking, forest and wildlife. Saw 3 Bald Eagles at the same time, hawks, Blue Heron, gators, Egrets, Hooter owls were close by. It was very relaxing for us and once past the speed bumps, easy access to stores and such.

I love that Wakulla Springs was less than a hour away. I enjoyed seeing the manatees again.

Cellular service worked for us there too, which is always a bonus for us full time boondockers.

We took a chance and checked it out. Every site caters to tent campers or really small trailers! It would be really hard to try and fit anything big in there. No one mentioned that the neighborhoods driving into the campground are pretty rough. There are no dumpsters or trash cans. Pack it in and pack it out. There are a couple pit toilets but we didn’t check it out. Didn’t see any water access either. We are way too big for this area so we just came and went right back out.

Our family stayed here one night and it exceeded our expectations. It was a beautiful spot by the lake!

This is a beautiful find. It's a small campsite with about 25 small slots. Very quiet and interestingly even though it all sites were booked up, there were only 3 or 4 people here the whole time I was here. The lake is large and has amazing views of sunsets and sunrises. It's a landing so you will periodically get people coming to fish. I only seen 3. The road to get here is very rough. Its about 2 miles from the paved road, but absolutely doable. There is a bathroom, but nothing else. No dumpster or water.

The lake is largely obscured from the campsites due to trees along the bank, but you can still sneak a peek. Or just go down to the boat ramp or nice fishing pier. Getting here - once turned off of Hwy 268 it's 1 mile on Peters Road (paved but with at least 6 speed bumps) through a residential neighborhood. The paved road ends and becomes red dirt/clay. It is wide and in fairly good shape but there are deep ditches on either side so be careful because it is slippery when wet. The campground is primitive with a vault near the entrance, tables, and fire pits/grills. If there are more than 6-12 sites occupied, it might seem tight, particularly if you have a neighbor. The 3-sided RR ties limit where you can park to some degree but there is still room to move about. It was empty this rainy day so even though site 17 out one window and 19 out the other, there was plenty of room to spread out. I usually use my ATT NighthAwk (31 down/5 up last night) but the T-Mobile 5G signal was good enough to usually get at least 100 down and 5-10 up, so I'm using the T-Mobile phone hotspot.

If you’re one of those folks that runs an open faced generator, blasts music from your camper, or otherwise acts completely inconsiderate to the other campers around you, you will LOVE this campground. There are half dressed men with cracks showing, people seemingly living in their sites…. It’s great if that’s what you’re into. We left early from an eight day reservation. Not our style. We paid for Solar so we would be considerate neighbors.

This park is horrible. Don’t come here unless you’re desperate or trashy.

This campground has some real positives--secluded, next to a huge lake/forest, only a few miles from restaurants, supplies, Camping World, et al. However, we stayed for a weekend where it rained pretty much all day Friday and Saturday which cleared out the campground and made the 2.6 mile dirt/mud road to get there a bit dicey. Could have been worse--water covered almost half the road in one spot but receded quickly after it stopped raining. Without the rain, it would make for a nice, relaxing stay, but heed the warning about no potable water in the campground (or electricity or dumpsite).

We were one of four in camp spots. No hookups. One restroom with toilet and wash stand. Beautiful lake with pier and boat launch. Lovely sunset.

Stayed in site 18 with a nice view of water. Sites are well maintained and clean. The loo are pit toilets that are also well maintained and clean. Would definitely come here again.
