What campers say
Highlands Hammock State Park Campground offers extensive, shaded hiking and biking trails through a lush hammock and swamp, with a short driveable loop to sample varied scenery. Wildlife sightings — including deer, gopher tortoises and armadillos — are commonly reported. The park includes a small CCC museum, a well‑stocked camp store that sells firewood and gifts, and restrooms/showers near the RV area. Tent sites in the primitive section are roomy and private; however, full‑hookup or 50‑amp sites are limited. Expect insects around dawn and dusk and occasional aging boardwalk sections that may need repair. Staff and volunteers are generally helpful.

One of the nicest state parks in Florida. Clean, safe, well maintained. Great staff. No sewer hookups, only 30 amp electrical. Great value for the price. Take the tram ride back into the restricted part of the park for better wildlife views.
