Summary
There’s no potable water, so bring your own. Fees are modest (around $12/night). RVs are allowed (up to 30 feet), but there are no hookups. Nestled in a peaceful, forested setting within the St. Joe National Forest, it’s a scenic base for exploring nearby trails and the popular Emerald Creek Garnet Area—where visitors can dig for star garnets. Best visited late spring through early fall, the campground provides a rustic, quiet experience ideal for nature lovers and rockhounds. Dispersed camping is not available on-site.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
