The family campground offers water and electric hookups, a dump station, access to restrooms with shower facilities, laundry and dishwashing areas.
Currently, there is no free Wi-Fi in the campground; however, Wi-Fi is available at the Hammock Inn Concession, which is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during peak season months. During the slow summer season, daily availability and hours of operation may vary for the Hammock Inn camp store. Call 863-402-0061 for details.
Campsites have picnic tables and fire rings. Sites vary from being open and sunny to partially or fully shaded and range in length from 20 to 50 feet. Maximum RV length = 50 feet.
Three paved campsites, designated as American Disability Act sites, are near an ADA-accessible restroom. A maximum of eight people with two tents are allowed per site. RV sites are allowed to have the RV and one tent.
The recreation hall, a park rental facility with a full kitchen, stage, large seating area, restrooms, barbecue grill and playground, is used for family reunions, weddings, parties, meetings and other events. Reservations may be booked through the ranger station 11 months in advance.
The campground is a short walk from the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum and the picnic area. The bike path, nature trails and playgrounds are within proximity and easily accessed. Ranger-guided programs and interpretive walks offered during the busy winter season are suspended during the summer.
From U.S. Highway 27, turn west onto County Road 634 (Hammock Road) and travel four miles to park entrance.
What a beautiful park. We chose to drive through and get out and walk a couple small trails. There are plenty of trails to choose from. You can also camp in sites or “the wilderness” as they put it. There is a spot to rent bikes, a small gift shop for souvenirs or snacks. The restrooms are very clean. There is a conservation museum and also a place to have small music in the park events. But the beauty of the park was my favorite. So many different trees and plants. The swampy part was my favorite. We did not see any alligators or bears. But we did see bear droppings.
