We selected Arrowhead because of the Trailer Life Campground reviews. There are a number of other campgrounds that we could have easily selected. We're sorry we didn't stop at a rest stop and use the Wi-Fi to check the reviews. This is an old campground that has the appearance of being neglected for years. The bathrooms and showers are clean. We were given 'codes' to get into the bathrooms and showers, but the door handle and lock had been removed from the women's. If the purpose of codes was for security, the women's facilities are very unsecure. The 'roads' are dirt paths with ruts. The sites are not level at all. There was a splintered, broken picnic table at our site. There is cable TV. The free Wi-Fi is adequate. The pool looked murky and unsafe. There is old playground equipment, but it is not fenced and close to the entrance, so it would not be safe for children playing. There was nowhere designated for dogs to do their business, fenced or unfenced. There did seem to be a large number of older children and teens that appeared to be permanent/long term residents. Walking is quite hazardous because of the ruts and the speed of cars/trucks in the campground. It was a little difficult getting to our site which is very close to the entrance. Getting out was extremely difficult. We won't camp here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Disappointing. Although the woman who answered the phone when I called was nice, the park is not at all what is presented in their ads. Very difficult access for a big rig. The sites were very unlevel and all grass, sand and roots. The sewer was uncovered and there is no cover to be found. Roads through the park need to be graded. The pool was full of dark dark greenish water and old pool chairs. There were no picnic tables. Most campers here are long-term and there are many teens running around, hanging in the laundry room, partying, etc. The RV store is about empty of supplies. I'm not sure how Good Sam came up with their rating. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A dump. Should have checked RV reviews first. Would not recommend even for overnight. The restrooms are dirty, no cable, Wi-Fi weak, and entrance is not easy to get into with a big rig. Also, interior roads are narrow difficult to navigate. Don't understand why this is given a Good Sam rating. Would not stay again or recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park is for a quick stay and that's. We barely parked and one of the residents stopped by and talked and talked. The the manager showed up and talked and talked. Sites in poor condition. Gravel and small roadways. Just passing through from FL and we get a sales pitch to stay for the winters. We own in FL. Will choose a different park if we go through there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Managers very friendly and ready to help. The roads look very narrow as you pull in, but had plenty of room (43ft + toad) to maneuver to our parking spot. Mostly packed sand with cement strips (not in good repair) for the tires. Many permanent residents, one of which is a woman whose attributes are apparently producing children and screaming at them. Neighbors TV was loud late at night, as well as neighbors coming and going..talking and slamming car doors. No satellite reception where we were. Park is over priced. Next time I will stay at the local Wal-Mart. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Level site and lots of trees, staff friendly and eager to help. Required cash or check. Thought the price was a bit high to comparable campgrounds but perfect location to visit the FL caverns. Had plenty of room. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The good: The cavern tour, the rangers, full hook-ups. The bad: Mosquitoes and gnats were relentless. Even covered in bug spray we were nothing more than a delicious challenge. The campground consists of one relatively small loop. The sites are perpendicular to the road so backing in can be a challenge for larger rigs depending on your site. Wooden posts are right up next to the road so be careful when swinging the front of your rig around when backing in. Very limited biking within the campground. Venture onto the park roads and you take your life in your hands. The posted speed limit is ignored by virtually everyone behind the wheel. There's really nothing to do other than seeing the cavern, which is awesome. Once you've checked that off your list be prepared to entertain yourself. I would love to say more positive things about this state park but I expected more and was disappointed. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice park and good value for the price. The mosquitoes were thick and hungry so needed lots of spray. Lots of kids enjoying spring break. I didn't use bathrooms - a bit messy - but there are full hookups so I didn't need their facilities. Didn't find much to do in the area. Cave tours not available Tuesday and Wednesday. We camped here in a Motorhome.

One of our favorites in the state because there is so much to do. Awesome fishing off the bridge in the park (caught a bunch of large mouth bass), excellent kayaking on the Chipola River from the park launch, great biking on the paved roads, and interesting cave tour. Hiking is limited and the back trails are just OK, but the other activities make up for it. Be aware of poisonous snakes. We saw bunches of Cottonmouth Moccasins on the river while kayaking. Rangers said because it was an abnormally warm winter but there was no way I was getting in the water. The campground was peaceful and quite. Very wooden behind the sites but not much privacy between the sites. We camped in site 16 which we think is the best (there are no neighbors on one side). Bathrooms are new and very clean with tons of hot water. Outside of the park check out the Jackson Blue Springs (not to be confused with the one in the Park). Don’t waste your time kayaking from Yancy’s Landing (outside the park) on the Chipola River. The water is dirty with lots of trash. It’s much more private and scenic inside the park. We didn’t get to see it because it’s only open from Labor Day to Memorial Day but we heard it’s amazing. The cave tour was good. We did the last tour of the day and it was just the two of us and a Ranger. That was cool. Overall, one of our favorite parks in the state. Tons to do and very beautiful. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
