In the early part of May 2023, we spent three nights at this location. As previous visitors have mentioned, the trees have suffered from a hurricane and are yet to fully regenerate. However, new trees have been planted to create separation between the different spots. Our spot was simply a grassy area with minimal separation from the one in front of our trailer door (we saw a man reverse into an electrical post - scary!). To check in, head to the CCC building and speak with the ranger, then choose your spot. I calculated the cost per night over the duration of our stay. The weather was hot and we were alerted about the presence of ticks on the trails by both the ranger and another couple I spoke with. They had discovered ticks on themselves and their dog, so we decided against hiking the trails. I did make the journey to the plantation house, but the walk back in the May heat was not enjoyable. We didn't take the tour, although it seemed intriguing. The shower facilities were pleasant, as was the laundry. We managed to catch The Kentucky Derby on television - we had friends attending, which made it even more enjoyable to watch. The view from behind our trailer was stunning, reminiscent of the northern part of Costa Rica.

Our accommodation for a handful of days was at Torreya State Park, which was quite pleasant. Regrettably, the region suffered severe and extensive destruction due to Hurricane Michael several years ago, and the landscape and paths have yet to bounce back. The most accurate way to portray the hiking landscape is 'harsh and relentless.' A park ranger informed us that the area used to be verdant and beautiful. However, it's currently filled with fallen trees, crushed vegetation, and lacks picturesque views. The recovery process will likely span several decades.

As members of a Path Upkeep team, we lodged at campground, Spot 9. Our spot was one of two that had a concrete base, which was nice as it reduced the amount of soil we carried into the camper. Each spot was equipped with a sturdy picnic table and a permanent fire pit/grill. The restroom facilities were immaculate and warmed during the colder periods. The park rangers and site hosts were fantastic, frequently checking in on our team. We consistently had good reception with both ATT and T Mobile, and access to several television stations. Though there isn't much activity around, that's part of its charm. The trees are recovering and in a few years, there will be greenery separating the spots again. There's also an aluminum recycling point near the trash disposal area, which is always a plus.

Nestled in a remote location is a quaint camping spot. The nearest settlement, Bristol, is a 14-mile journey away, providing access to essential supplies like groceries and fuel. We're fond of parklands that aren't immediately adjacent to urban areas, making this park an ideal choice for us. We're already considering a return trip. Activities within the park are limited, providing a tranquil setting for relaxation. However, the trails may prove challenging for older visitors, and caution is advised due to the presence of copperhead snakes. The park personnel were amiable and knowledgeable. The park is currently in a state of restoration following the devastation caused by Hurricane Michael in 2018. Most camping spots are flat, with only a handful featuring a mound in the middle, making them slightly cramped in terms of width and depth. This park boasted superior mobile network coverage in comparison to neighboring state parks. The cost listed is the discounted rate for seniors.

Must have been some upgrades. All sites have individual water and power hookups. Paved then short gravel road into the campground. Sites are grassy and level. The sites on the exit side of the loop are large, plenty of vegetation screening in between. Site 29 is awesome, 30 next door is very nice. Area and bathrooms are super tidy. The campground is like a small park. Nothing around just good camping.

Small campground but well maintained and clean. The restroom and showers are old but still in good condition and very clean. Sites are nice sized. Its a little way off I-10 but worth it.

Our kind of park. No frills, old school, dirt roads. Bathrooms and hiking trails, that’s it. Camping sites are on the highest plateau so you see the park all around. Best site 19. Not too much distance or foliage between sites, so limited privacy. But the laid back nature of the campers made it very relaxing and chill. Ranger super sweet and cool. You can still see some of the Hurricane Michael damage but it’s definitely recovering. Trails are also legit hiking trails - relatively undeveloped, dirt, muddy at times, narrow in some areas, buggy (ticks), snakes, very cool. Torreya loop trail is moderate (steep ups and downs, creek and tree crossings) and good hiking shoes and long pants (some thorny areas) a must. We did not do the second loop trail called the Torreya challenge. Sign at its entrance describes it as arduous taking 6 hrs for 6 miles.

Torreya State Park is tucked away by itself and has a smaller campground at only 29 sites, and it's part of what makes it a great place to get away. Small and remote means peace and quiet. The sites aren't very private, but there aren't many and folks seem to keep to themselves. The bathrooms are small but decent and well-maintained, and there are 30-amp electric and water on each site. Another nice feature is a very clean laundry area. It only has one washer and dryer, but the campground is small enough that doesn't seem to be a problem. Nearby trails, some accessible right from the campground, also make this a good spot to use as a basecamp if you want to get out and explore some of Florida's natural beauty. Also, Gregory House is an 1850s plantation home that you can visit for a guided tour and is within walking distance of the campground.

Very quiet, sites rather close, maybe 2/3 full. Had reserved #28 but moved to #19 with a lot more room and privacy. Showers and bathrooms clean, great hot water, and personnel friendly. Walked out to Gregory House for a look-see. Lovely little campground.

Price mentioned above is for Florida Seniors. Very friendly and efficient campground hosts. The campground and bathhouse were kept spotless. The campsite’s are quite narrow, unless you are able to get sites 25-30. Paved roads to the campground, but sites are sandy.

This park had easy access off a paved road. 2 sites are concrete pads. The rest are dirt or dirt with some spots of grass. By dirt I mean sand that adheres to the soles of your shoes and you better have a long handled brush available to clean off your shoes EVERY time you want to enter your vehicle or else you'll have one horrible mess. Otherwise this is a great park. Rest rooms super clean and well maintained. Hot showers. Book exchange. Very reasonably priced clothes washer and dryer. Pleasant campground hosts. The sites are rather close together so you'll definitely get conversation noise from your neighbors. Otherwise the area is quite quiet -- no highway noise, no airplanes, no trains. Fairly good trails thru the forest but you better keep a sharp lookout for copperhead snakes; they abound here but are very docile and you just move them out of the way with a long stick. A self guided tour of the Gregory house is a must -- such splendor. This park lies adjacent to the Apalachacola River and contains the remains of a Confederate battery that protected the supply shipments from Columbus GA, Price above reflects discount for Florida seniors.

If you are looking for a nice spot to see the stars at night, this state park will fit the bill. It's a relatively small campground but the facilities are good. The people who work there are very friendly and accommodating.

Every site lacks shade so if it’s the middle of summer I’m not coming here but fall and winter it’s the place for me. Site 1 if probably one of the most private sites. All others lack any brush in between. The morning views are nice and it’s basically a get away into nature. The air is super crisp in the mornings as we’re on top of a Deep forested hill in the pan handle of Florida quite some distance from the cities and highway. People were saying 30-40 min off of I-10 but it’s only about 25 minutes off I-10. Bathrooms are nice too if you use them.
