After spending 7 days at Paramore's Campground I gotta say it was everything I was hoping it would…read morebe after reading the reviews before booking the campsite online. This campground is remote enough to drown out all the noise from the outside world but close enough that in only a few minutes you can enjoy a few small town restaurants and convenient stores and lots of outdoor adventures. The turn off Highway 40 is easy to navigate even with the largest MotorCoaches or fifth wheel trailers and although portions of the road is narrow it is a nice paved road all the way into the campground so if you get confused just remember stay on the pavement and avoid all side roads which are dirt and sand. The office is staffed by a wonderful and helpful group that makes the check-in process simple and really quick if you reserved your site online. The roads inside the campground are also paved and wide enough to navigate stress free. Our site was very level in both directions and all the utilities were in close proximity and well maintained. Although there are a number of full timers here everyone we met were so welcoming and friendly and all the sites were nice and neat, I can appreciate all the rules after staying here and that's definitely the reason this place is such a gem. There are plenty of amenities including a large pool, tennis courts and a basketball hoop, a laundry mat, camp store and lots of access to the water whether or not you have a boat or plan to rent one and although I didn't use many of the amenities it's oblivious they are well maintained like everything else on the property. This is definitely "Old Florida Charm" so don't expect a ritzy MotorCoach Resort experience which is exactly what is so attractive about this place, so if you're looking for a little R&R don't hesitate to book it and hopefully you can get in, it seems no one is in a hurry to leave here...

Seeing various wildlife was a daily event: gators, turtles, kingfisher, herons and a wood stork. The campground is small and remote. The sights are narrow and short. It has mix of FHU and E&W only. The park's electric and sewer does need some work, our sewer connection malfunctioned, but they did repair itright away. Also had inconsistent power, our GFCI kept tripping. (Never happened before or after). So the ground may have been a problem. The closest full service grocery store is a Winn-Dixie in Crescent City, Seville does have a Dollar General. Local Restaurants: Pierson Family Diner- good home cooking. Idle Awhile- nice bar, good food, indoor & outdoor seating on the lake and live music.

I have a home in palm coast with a private pool and may start seeking others from Sunny Sands to visit and enjoy the wind and sun as we did there, once. Sometimes new owners don't get it, they buy because it was successful and they mess it up by killing what made it to begin with, sad.

If you've never crossed a river on a ferry you're really missing out on an experience that can't be…read moreduplicated and could be considered one for the "bucket list" especially if the ferry is more than a century old and crosses a one mile section for the famous the St. John's River just north of Lake George. The ferry's east dock is located in the Gateway Fish Camp in Fruitland, Florida. The west dock is at the end of the dirt Salt Springs Road in the Ocala National Forest. I had no idea this ferry existed until today while driving up to Crescent City, it was not only my curiosity that drove me down the sandy road to experience this ten minute ten dollar trip across the choppy waters of the St. John's River it was the many memories I still cherish from my childhood of frequently riding the old ferries in Louisiana with my dad. There is something about this almost forgotten mode of transportation that still brings a smile to my face and a unexplainable joy within. As we left the dock we step out of the truck and walked around the small battered barge that's barely large enough to fit more than one or two vehicles at a time on to feel the wind in our faces and the spray from the river as the century old motorized tug pushed us effortlessly towards the seven miles of undeveloped sandy road through the National Forest ahead. There are rusty handrails on both sides but the front and back of the barge remains unobstructed so your parking brake and two battered piece of wood under your tires keeps your vehicle stable. The sixty-five horsepower Diesel engine that supplies the power to this antique ferry is an upgrade if you consider this ferry was first powered by humans being its original purpose was to transport passengers including Confederate troops during the Civil War, today's cargo consist mostly of curious tourist from all corners of the world, the ferry's crossings number around fifteen hundred a year, with those numbers and the ferry's remote location I am sure the locals rarely cross at this location, but as strange as it may sound this is still the most efficient route you can choose the drive around is an additional 50 miles to cross the river on bridges in Palatka to the north or Astor to the south. There seems to be a following for these old ferries much as there are roller coaster enthusiast although I haven't heard of any clubs specifically for ferry-boat enthusiast but it wouldn't surprise me if some exist.

They were so helpful and accommodating and made us feel a part of the community. The place is lovely with great views of the St. Johns River, especially at sunset. Some of the sites are tight and the sewer connections might need an extension in the sewer hose. The showers and restrooms are well appointed and clean. A 5 minute walk takes you to Idle Awhile, a waterfront restaurant next door to the RV park. Excellent food with a great view of the river. If you're looking for big city excitement this is not the place for you but if you're into a beautiful place with peaceful tranquility, check out Port Cove RV Resort and Marina. You won't be disappointed.

Part of the trail is pretty sunny so make sure you have your sunscreen and other sun protection if you need it.

You cannot see the water, or the dock with raggedy abandoned boats, unless you walk past the abandoned house, in the way of the view, through the soggy, bug-filled grasses to reach it. The dock has been closed due to boards being a hazard and/or work being done on the abandoned house boat. The bathroom for ladies is not safe as the door doesn't shut all the way and there's a measly hook and eye "lock" on the door. The outdoor lights go on and off. Sleep, on the weekends, is periodically interrupted by the noise from the diesel trucks of the intoxicated workers that stay there I had to buy ant killer/bug poison because the location sits basically one big ant hill. They will get in your rig, food or not. There were random dogs off leash most every day. Take care of your little ones. One of the long term residents stole another camper's small, cute tea cup dog that periodically ran loose. The cops were called for that huge fight. I witnessed one of the dog owners being thrown to the ground and dragged by her large untrained dog as it tore off to attack another dog. One of the large dogs jumped on me and shredded my legs with their unclipped nails. I will have a permanent scar from this incident. The dog owners always insist their dog is so nice. Someone left a dirty diaper next to the dumpster for 4 days. There is a long term father and son resident that can be heard yelling/swearing/fighting, usually in the morning, as the recluse son habitually abuses his father. The cops were called 3 days in a row to calm down the intoxicated girlfriend of one of the residents that was being evicted. The place is a dirty, bug-filled parking lot with homeless people and their untrained dogs infesting it. Make no mistake this was one drama filled month. And, the final straw was the owner not acknowledging my requests to return my deposit. Keep that in mind when they assure you that you'll get the deposit back at the end of your stay.
