Well maintained trails, a beautiful turquoise water spring swimming hole with and old working water mill built in the 1930's. Bathrooms and showers available. Park was dog friendly as well. Kayak rentals available for a 7 mile paddle. All of the sites seemed nice and large. Easy to get in with a camper/rv. Quite at night for small camp fires in built in pits - picnic tables included. Honestly, this could be the nicest camp site I've ever been to.

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...

There are also supposedly some homesteads, but we didn't come across them during our time there. The website is a little off when it comes to showing which numbers on their map match the numbers on the posts for points of interest. Part of the trail is pretty sunny so make sure you have your sunscreen and other sun protection if you need it. Once you get into the main part of the trail, you'll find more shade and it's a nice, peaceful walk in the woods.

Fortunately, it's relatively close to the Jax area. The drive to our first Florida campout lead me to find Chiapinni's - a great cultural discovery along the way! The Camp is well laid out - with plenty of space for hundreds of campers. Each section has a dining area, bathroom and large fire ring - designed for the whole troop. They have an archery center, a BB gun range (for Cubs), pistol & rifle range (For Scouts & Venturers), climbing tower and a large lake for canoeing. There's a large dining facility for special occasions - but most groups cook on their own. The staff on all occasions that I went were adequate. Most events utilize a large number of volunteers to run efficiently. A relatively new addition is the pool with waterslides - definitely needed in the Florida summers!

The lady on the intercom (Video I assume) at the entrance gate said they don't have a reservation even after I gave them the reservation number and showed them the confirmation on my email. 3. After15 minutes, of waiting, they said they cant do anything for me. Then after going back and forth, they tell me someone will meet me at the gate. 4. A guy arrives at the gate with his sidearm saying and I quote " Are you kidding me, bad time of the night bud, bad time of the night". 5. He proceeds to say, I will let you in, but, and I quote "Don't ever come back here again". I said to the guy, sir I have a reservation (showing him my email confirmation" he goes "I don't care, I will get you in for one night, and you leave in the morning" normally minimum of 2 night stay, and I paid $50 cash to let me in. 6. I can only surmise they saw me on the intercom camera, and didn't like the color of my skin, ruining my first trip with my family with my RV. Especially picking this site as being highly rated, of course of certain type and ethnicity. 7. There was no screaming on my part, I was very polite, as because of the guy approaching the car with his sidearm, left my kids very frightened. We did stay there the one night because of the time and left early in the morning per their request. 8. Not a very nice attempt at a RV Park, it just spoiled the experience, it was uncalled for and totally unsolicited, as such I will never go back per their request and mine.....
