About this campground

Jr. Walton Pond

Jr. Walton Pond in Florida offers primitive, reservation-only campsites (no dispersed camping) within the Blackwater River State Forest. Campsites include fire rings, grills, picnic tables, and pit toilets; no potable water or hookups are available, and RVs are not recommended due to limited access. A permit and small fee are required through the Florida Forest Service. The camping experience is peaceful and secluded, set in a pine forest near a serene pond—ideal for wildlife viewing and starry nights. Nearby hiking and paddling opportunities abound, including Juniper Creek Trail. Fall through spring is the best time to visit for cooler temperatures and fewer bugs.
