We reserved our spot in Reserve America and had no interaction with anyone at the park. The staff did pass by occasionally but never did anything other than wave at us. The park was full, the trails for hiking were nicely maintained and everyone was friendly. We enjoyed the visit and plan to return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Best part of Torreya is the hiking trails. They are like no other in Florida. Miles of remote trails filled with hills (mountains by Florida standards) and gorgeous views. But make sure you are a great hiker; especially for the Torreya Challenge - its tough, no water and no exits. But totally worth it. The campground is older but still nice in that its remote. Our favorite site was 17 because it overlooked a 150ft cliff into the wilderness and did not have neighbors on one side. Caution with this site. The water hook up is on the wrong side and a long hose is needed. The Ranger gave us one since ours was too short. Campground host is amazing. Super nice guy and so very helpful. Bathrooms are older and hot water goes quickly. Overall, it’s OK in that it’s remote and good hiking. But that’s it…limited biking, no water access for 30 miles. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Rate shown is for Florida resident seniors. We were here for 4 nights in handicapped site #10. This is a beautiful, scenic park with many trails through atypical Florida terrain-many ravines and hills with radical elevation changes. Most trails start downhill so be prepared for uphill on the return as the campsites are on a ridge high point. The park is on the "Bluffs" side of the Apalachicola River with overlooks at the camping area and at the historic Gregory House. The bathrooms and showers have recently been totally redone and are perfect. The access to the handicapped bathroom and shower is about 50 feet from sites 9 and 10 and are separate buildings (very spacious) from the main bathrooms and showers located between 24 and 25. Firewood is $3.00 donation per bundle, bundles that would go for $5 to $6 at other parks. We got 26 TV channels with a simple non-adjustable antenna. Cell phone reception on T-Mobile and AT&T was excellent. It is about 12 to 15 miles to ice or convenience stores, so don't forget anything. With few exceptions, the sites are narrow with little buffer between sites and not much screening vegetation. Site 1 has an interesting overlook effect but overall, 1 through 14 are narrow. Site 16 is fantastic, as the overlook is between 16 and 17 and 16 has a beautiful view over a 150 foot drop to the river valley. Site 17 and 18 and 30 offer better privacy than most other sites. All sites are convenient to the bathrooms. Contrary to the way I describe the sites, when we go back, we will take any of them! The old CCC barracks is used as an office for the rangers, but has games, books and toys available. The rangers were very helpful and friendly. There is a washer and dryer at the main restrooms. This is a first class facility and perfect for hikers and families. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
