    I recently visited the Savannas Campground and Recreation Area for the Civil War reenactment Raid on Fort Pierce event. This park is managed by the Florida Department of Environment Protection and is open year round/ seven days a week. The Savannas is an outdoor recreation area which provides camping, boating, fishing, hiking, a playground, and picnic facilities. A campsite is only $22.42 a night. There is also a dog park. Canoes and kayaks are available for rent between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm daily. The campground office is located in the Trading Post, a building that was an original Cracker House built between 1890 and 1912 and relocated to this park. Behind the house is the waters of the Savannas that attracts extensive wildlife. Some of the animals that make their home here include Gopher Tortoises, alligators, hawks, Sandhill Cranes, eagles, egrets, otters, turtles, and owls. This park is 550 acres and consists of five distinct biological communities, pine flatwoods, wet prairie, marsh, lake, and scrub habitats. Due to the unique biological and geographical features, the Savannas received "Reserve" status by the Florida Legislature in 1978. I had never heard of this park prior to the Raid on Fort Pierce. it is the perfect place for an outdoor adventure. The waterways are amazing and full of wildlife. I saw alligators and wading birds. I like how you can rent a kayak or canoe to explore even further. Now that I know about this beautiful park I will be sure to visit again.

    This is my go to spot when I need to do anything on the RV. It's close to where we store it, but it's also very nice, full hookup and reasonably priced. It's also a short drive to the beach. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area or want to come check out Ft Pierce.

    Beautiful wildlife at your camp site.

    Very secluded and quiet campground that is safe and dog friendly. Easy to access and close to Port St Lucie. Very level.

    When you can get a spot it's great . Key word here is "when". The lots are large for rvs but small for tents and it isn't very wild.

    There's a super awesome dog park in the back and picnic tables all along the canal where people were fishing.

    We had a great time at Long point campground! The sites are spacious, and every one comes with a…read morefire pit, picnic bench, and power outlets which made it easy to relax and enjoy the outdoors (while still being able to charge our phones!) We reserved a site with water access. Our site easily fit two large tents, and the overall atmosphere was peaceful and quiet. The bathrooms were as clean as a campground bathroom can be, but the shower water pressure could definitely use some improvement. There's also a small store right at the entrance, which was handy for grabbing snacks or ice. Our only real issue was with the check-in process. We arrived after sunset and, despite waiting twice, there was no one in the front office. Since we'd already paid online, we decided to head to our site and set up. The next morning, we tried again, but still no one was around. Eventually, we flagged down a staff member who was not very welcoming and came off as rude when we asked to check in. Having someone available at the front office, especially after dark, would make the experience smoother for guests.

    We go camping here every Memorial Day with a group of friends. It really is a wonderful campground…read more Almost every site is waterfront and most have access to launch your kayaks directly. The prices are pretty reasonable, about $50 a site for water and electric with a firepit and table at each site. The view is beautiful and we almost always see dolphins and manatees swim by. We usually book our site a year in advance but they recently changed the policy that non-residents can only book 6 months out so we will probably have a little more trouble getting a site. There is not a lot of shade so it can pretty hot and the mosquitos and noseeuns can be very intense even during the day. I ran my thermocells almost non stop this trip. But the view makes it worth it. And no visit to longpoint is complete without a stop at the store at the entrance to get the super delicious fish dip. It's a little pricey but yummy!

You could drive for 30 minutes and still not see everything! We stopped by on a weekday and the park was pretty and relaxing. Not too many people on the couple of trails we did. The observation tower is closed but they still have a nice boardwalk up to that area that makes for a great walk! It's pretty highly elevated for Florida - kind of impressive in person! Entry is $6 per car, and the lady provided a map and recommended her favorite trail. We checked that trail out as well (the white trail), but the height of the observation tower trail was really the star! We decided to drive around after doing both trails, and we saw their campgrounds. So surprising at how busy this place was! It seemed there was hardly an empty spot! Must be a happening place to camp! We'd definitely return for more adventures, as this is a cool park!

There's overlooks and and an endless supply of trails to choose. I will definitely be back with some chairs and hoping for some quiet time to myself.

I put a call into the county & the Park Ranger, Doug came over quickly & remedyed the problem. Again he was very pleasant. People like those make full time RVing comfortable. The rv sites are sandy & are nicely sized, situated & private. Each one has a fire ring & patio table. Far enough away but close enough to Route 1 & about 15-20 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Vero Beach is close by as well. It is soothing calming & quiet here, every once in a while a plane flies over & parachuters exits the plane & you see the chutes open & colorful. There are walking trails & a boat a canoe boat launch.

There Is a dock where you can look over the water. I believe there is also a hiking trail. Here you may see some wildlife such as the agressive racoon, the timid squirrel, noisy armadillo, lots of birds chirping away, if you're lucky you might get to see a venomous snake however you're most likely to see black racers and corn snakes. Now you might think the agressive racoon is cute and cuddly animal but don't you dare try to pet him cuddle him or feed him. As a matter of fact the raccoons will show up your campsite during daylight hours but don't be fooled, this is a reconnaissance mission. Once everyone goes to bed, they come back. They revisit the sites that had the best goodies. They will open your coolers and go through your trash.

    This is my 3rd year running JW Cornette's race which is hosted by race director Christian Stewart…read more The race is small and maxes out at 100 people. There are three distances: 18 miles, 50k (31 miles), and 50 miles. The course runs along sections of the Lake to Ocean trail following the orange blazes on single track trails that are typically wet this time of year. However, a sever drought which precipitated the Everglades fires left most of the trails on dry conditions. The race is basically a charity that donates money for musical instruments in a school in Argentina. The race is well supported with excellent aid stations. It's a very good race if you are trying to prepare for Keys 100 or the Lake 2 Ocean race in May and June respectively, as temperatures are usually hot for this race. The single track trail meanders through wonderful everglades area and is home to many wild animals including snake and alligator. All year round there is recreational hunting and fishing. There is a youth camp but you'll have to have children to overnight. Otherwise, camping is permitted in many locations as well. If you love trail races and don't mind getting dirty this is a great one.

    Awesome time off-roading every time. Scenic trails with lots of wild life, come here at least once…read morea month
