Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park i USA

I journeyed to this location with a sizable 5th wheel and a long bed pickup, settling at spot #14. This spot, priced at $29 per night, accommodated my E/W (30A), BI setup. The pathways were surfaced with asphalt while the spot was a mix of sand and gravel. Some areas of the road were a bit narrow. To park correctly at #14, I had to maneuver through the spot across. There was ample space for this. The spots are generally spacious and separated by greenery for privacy. Shade is abundant. This campground is very peaceful. The washrooms are well-kept and equipped with hot showers. The campground staff put in great effort to maintain cleanliness and clear away fallen leaves. The spot was perfectly flat, requiring no adjustments. My Verizon network showed 2-3 bars of LTE, there was no wifi, but there were several OTA channels. Gainesville was conveniently close for supply runs. The park boasts a charming visitor center and numerous hiking paths. During my stay, FLSP conducted a controlled burn to reduce the risk of wildfires. I'd recommend dining at the Blue Highway, a short distance away from the park. They serve excellent pizza! The park was also accommodating in receiving my packages. I would certainly revisit and opt for a spot on the loop's exterior. I believe #18 is the best spot considering its location, accessibility, and privacy, with #48 as the runner-up. Other suitable spots for large vehicles include 17, 42, 46, and 50, despite its proximity to the garbage disposal.

The locations are neat, simple to explore, and the personnel are amicable. Our spot had a 30 amp electricity supply and only water. There was little need for leveling blocks. Although there was no cable service, aerial channels were accessible. The park offered numerous paths and activities.

An attractive green space that offers numerous activities for nature enthusiasts. There are ample opportunities for activities such as trekking, cycling, angling, and sailing, along with roomy camping areas. The pricing is quite fair, particularly for a location in Florida. It's strongly suggested to explore the historical data available at the visitor's hub before heading to the lookout tower. Don't forget to pack your telescope and camera! The sanitation facilities are well-maintained and the park personnel are always ready to assist.

This campground is a pretty weekend spot or a good place to stop over traveling through Florida. Sites were private and wooded. We have a Pepwave Max Transit Duo for AT&T and Verizon service. AT&T had download speeds of 17.87 and upload speeds of 3.17. Verizon was 8.1 for downloads and 1.36 for uploads. Our Mifi with T-Moble had download speeds of 9.02 and uploads of 1.05. My job is 100% zoom meetings. Connectivity was occasionally an issue, especially during storms.

We've been meaning to stop in this park for years, and finally did - and wish we had come sooner! It's a lovely park with nicely spaced and shaded campsites. There's some nice hike/bike trails and the prairie to explore (was too hot/sunny during our stay), and nice overlook tower you can climb for a view. And glorious cellular signal on all of the carriers - we were able to host multiple live broadcasts with blazing fast speeds. Too many trees to even bother getting the Starlink out. (Price reflects base $18 price, $7 utility fee, $6.70 reserve fee and tax.. )
