We stayed here for an overnight stop. The sites are gravel, but pretty level. The staff was very friendly, and a local sheriff lives on the grounds. Like the name says most of the sites are under large oak trees, so plenty of shade. The cable TV was working great, lots of channels. It looked like they were doing work on some of the sites so they must be working to make the place better. It is about 4.5 hours from the house so we might go back again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is had a Woodall's rating of 4, how it got that rating is beyond me. It should be been given a 2 or 3 at the most. The sites are gravel with very little grass. It is very dusty from cars on the road. This park would be an overnight stay only but, I would never plan on spending any extended time here. The park is old and needs major upgrading on the sites and roads. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Manager Scottie, welcolmed us late in the evening & was very helpful in getting us settled in & hookedup, inviting us to register in the morning noting that we looked tired. *(Note: See review on Tallahasse RV Park). The 300 year old oaks on the property were spectacular, the coffee was hot & free & our dog was welcomed with biscuits! Foks were all super nice & there was plenty of space, quiet & shade. There was a variety of rigs, ages & a local Sheriff that seemed to reside there fulll time. We will be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice campground with a very friendly staff. We felt very safe as there were about 4 or 5 state troopers that we staying in the park while attending a school in Tallahassee. The biggest problem is that they only have a single shower and restroom each for men and women, and they are very small at that. There was plenty of shade, but the close proximity to a main highway made for lots of traffic noise. I would stay again, but request a space towards the back of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Although Tallahassee attractions are nearby, this is an older, noisy park which needs updating. The $33 is a Good Sam rate. Friendly staff. We camped here in a Motorhome.
About the best thing that I can say about this campground is that the cable TV works. The sites are narrow, gravel and not level. Many of the sites are occupied by long term residents that haven't spent a lot of time on landscaping or anything else. We were parked right next to the wifi tower and it only worked occasionally so I can imagine how poor the connection is on the edges of the park. We were here for an overnight stay and I can assure you that we left as early as possible the next day. Do yourself a favor, save your $33 and park in a Wal-Mart parking lot. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Huge oak trees make a nice setting. Cable and Wi-Fi were fine. Sewer connection bit high, just barely able to achieve a slope. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Hard to believe a park this big only has one bathroom, with the shower and toilet combined...but I was lucky during my brief visit and didn't have to wait. Most of the RVers here have big rigs and use their own showers, not me, and the many residents crammed in the back area are self-contained. Very nice setting with huge live oaks, spacious sites for travelers, good cable tv. Wifi wasn't working. Hosts very nice, friendly. A decent park that could be a lot better. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Don't even bother with this park if it is an FSU game weekend. I tried all summer to get a space and they kept putting me off with the excuse they hadn't made their layouts-- whatever that maybe, since in my opinion you either know or don't know if you have spaces available. Would call and they would say they would get back to me and never would-- don't bother with this one! We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent the weekend at this campground during the first Florida State Football home game. We checked in on a Friday afternoon, and was quickly checked in and escorted to our site. The campground was completely booked for the weekend, however many of the sites are occupied by long term campers/residents. We did not find the campground to be overly tightly packed. We had sufficient room for our 35 ft motorhome and pickup truck. The staff was extremely friendly. The park was also pet friendly. Even though it was a game weekend, the park was quiet. The big drawback here is as stated previously, the lack of bathrooms. There is 1 toilet and shower for the men, and 1 toilet and shower for the ladies. The site we were on was very shaded, but not the most level. This campground is extremely close to all Tallahassee has to offer and there are many services very close by. We would definitely stay here again. Reserve early if coming during the college football season, they fill up fast as there are many sites occupied by longer term campers, so there is a more limited amount of overnight camping available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We arrived when it was getting dark but set up okay on a corner site. The only drawback we found was a single men's john, and a single women's john for an 80-site park. Seems to me that this woul be a problem when the park was full. That wasn't the case the night we stayed. I would stay there again for an overnight stay. The park is located way off the Interstate so was very quiet at night. The staff was accomodating and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Restrooms are in HUGE need of up-dating. Only have one for women and one for men. Very behind the times. New sites are nice but not really planned well. A lot of big beautiful trees. Manager seems to be very nice. Close to grocery and restaurants. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very good portion of CG was occupied by the long term residents, only some sites in the middle of the park were reserved for the overnight RV, the site are very very close to each other, we stay in our MH almost the whole time when we were in the CG. There is only one bath/shower room for each sex. If occupied , it will not be available for a while , this is the only one you can use, really !! The path way is narrow and not in good condition. Free Wi-Fi, cable with many channels, and close to Tallahassee are some of the pluses. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just awful. Someone took a piece of land and put hook ups on it. I couldn't tell where the roads ended and the campsites started. We were approach by a panhandler that lives in the park. We reserved a pull through and when we arrived we were told there were none left. The lady was very rude borderline pychotic. Dogs ran loose in the park. If you washed oily, grease filled rags in the washers it may clean them up because they were nasty. This park should be condemned. We unfortunately camped here because it was late and needed to get off the road to rest. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is convenient to I-10, as well as Tallahassee. The staff is terrific and go out of the way to make your stay a good one. It is not a resort, but a great place to stay while visiting the area or passing through. Would give it a 10 but no pool. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Arrived in the afternoon with friends following in another bus. Registration was hectic with lots of people in the office seemingly just milling about and chatting. The lady behind the desk, her name was "Sam", was somewhat impatient and curt. After a long wait, a man arrived to show us into our sites. We followed behind his golf cart through the park, then into a very tight narrow road, and then into a too-tight turn to get into our too-tight site, scraping the top of our rig with tree branches in the process. Don't understand why they put us in this site when we had called ahead and reserved for two 45 foot Prevosts. Stayed the night and left early the next morning. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was our fourth stay in two years as an overnight stop on our way to the Keys. The good: WIFI available and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Pet friendly and easy access to I10. The bad: Park is showing its age and needs sprucing up; buildings need fixing, painting and some sheds just need to be torn down. Rates raised again, getting expensive and money not being put back into the park ($30 with Good Sam discount for 30 amp electric and water – no sewer, cable was terribly fuzzy). Permanent sites make up about 50% of the park and some need to be cleaned up. An old Airstream trailer had green mold growing on top, a 5th wheel covered on top with blue tarp, lots of old chairs, junk, etc. sitting outside of others. When we arrived the park was full to overflowing. A 45 ft motorhome and large 5th wheel got stuffed into too small spaces. Gives the impression the park owners are more interested in $$$ then trying to provide a clean, pleasant park. Still, considering the alternatives in the area we would stay here again but only as an overnight stop. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Restrooms were clean but very small and inadequate with only 1 shower and commode each for
male and female for the whole park. Voltage was low,and they will not allow you to park yourself. After registering we had to sit in our vehicle for several minutes before someone showed up to lead us to our site. This is unnecessary. Good location to visit the capitol but rather expensive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very friendly and helpful staff, sites need to be better marked. We camped here in a camper.
Although the Woodall's advertisement claimed 62 sites, they only had one "overnight" site and it was by Highway 90 "on the grass, beside the fence". A hole had been cut in the fence for the electrical cord and the water hose. We did not hook up the water because the faucet was bent. No sewer connection was available at this site. The women's restroom was locked and when I got the key and opened it, I decided to pass it up and returned the key. It did not look as if anyone had been in there in a long time. Our "site" was just a grassy area but we were fortunate that it was distanced from the rows and rows of other RV's set up for semi-permanent living by construction workers on a nearby electrical utility project. We ran our fan all night to drown out the noise from the very nearby highway. Despite all this, the lady who registered us was very nice and we had a good night's sleep. This is a very old campground, I remember it from the '60's when it was called Bell's Lakeside Campground. I believe it was safe, we did have electricity, and we had an appointment to have our RV worked on at 7:30 the next morning just two miles down the road. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We pulled in and then pulled right out. What a dump. Can't believe this is a KOA. First the sign says it's .2 of mile off the highway. It's actually more then 2 miles off the highway. It's sand , mud, overgrown grass, run down campers. Wife did not feel safe staying so we left. Lots of junky campground on the Route 10 corridor. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park is in need of some tender loving care. The grass/weeds were in excess of a foot tall. Looked like the only thing getting maintetance, was the office area. The roads and sites are all sand and in need of some pot hole repair. WiFi worked ok. Pool area was clean. Also most of the RV staying in the park were long term. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A great park, clean & friendly. Huge laundry facity & fabulous clean low chlorinated swimming pool. Free breakfast with custom waffles, danish, juice & coffee. No cable TV, but great homey rec room/library. New fish pier on lake. Bathrooms were beautiful too. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is a bunch of sites scattered in the woods on sand and mud. The sites are fairly level by luck not by design. The hookups are a long way from where they need to be if you don't want to unhook your tow car. It took me 35' of water hose to connect. The sewer was impossible. The bathrooms may be clean but are very old and used. The swimming pool was empty. This was also very very old. The dog walk was mud and puddles. This is another old, overpriced KOA. They should lower the prices and forget the afternoon tea. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Much better than most KOAs. Restrooms/showers were immaculate. Tea and pie in the afternoon, and continental breakfast. Very friendly staff. I woiuld have given it a 10, except that it had no cable, and I thought the tip jar at the continental breakfast was a bit tacky. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice park right on the interstate. Not really in Tallahassee despite the name. Heavily wooded with mature trees and lots of shade. Mostly pull through sites on grass with gravel roads. Sites are more spacious and farther apart than at most KOAs. A good number of long-term residents. Wi-Fi service is slow and limited pretty much to the office-game room area. Office hours are somewhat limited and we found that an inconvenience as they were closed when we arrived in the early afternoon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nice park close to I-10. Good for an overnight stay, wouldn't stay more than that. Staff friendly. Would rate higher if it had paved sites/roads. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Camped here 6/9 & 6/10/06. Upon arrival the staff were very friendly and helpful. Had our reservation in order and had cookies, tea, coffee available at no charge. Campground was clean (although some construction is going on at the back of the property)as were the Bathrooms, showers,pool and laundry facilities. The office had a Kampstore with a nice selection of things you would need including Videos for rent. Game room and common areas for watching TV and reading were available. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Stayed there one night stop was a very clean park with nice friendly folks running the place. Baths were clean. Would stay there again. This park is 20 miles east of Talahassee We camped here in a Motorhome.
If you are staying in the Tallahassee area, this is the campground to stay at. It is very well managed with lots of flowers and nice grass at each site. There is a large area dedicated for pets with plastic bags on several posts in the area. The sites are long and level, saw several 45 footer easily fit in the sites. The manager is very friendly and cares about the campground. The pool is a little small, type you would find in your back yard, but it was 9 feet deep at the deep end. The campground is very quite without numerous long term campers living in older units. WiFI worked great inside the motorhome and cable TV is also at each site. Both are free. I would call this campground a hidden jewel in the Tallahassee area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park is conveniently located off the freeway and on a main road that leads to the downtown area. Manager was very friendly. Site was level side to side but crowned in the middle that caused a little problem while unhooking. Sites were very wide, gravel pad with grassy areas in between. The restroom/shower looked clean, but it was a single, so only one person could use them at a time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Staff very friendly, nice park, level gravel sites, beautiful landscaping, good voltage, water pressure fluctuates but was not a problem. Only real drawback is they don't let you use your washer/dryer in your rig. Great restaurant less than half a mile away named Creekside Grill. We would stay here again. The Tallahassee area is very nice with lots to do. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
My 43' coach made it a challenge but I fit into a space with the car attached. The grounds were very well maintained and it was great access to I-10. No problems or issues other than you should be sure to tell them what your driving. We were in #41. It was quite a pretty park with lots of well manicured flowers on the property. Short walk to a nice Publix grocery store. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Older park, tight turns and narrow site. Water pressure sucked at 28PSI. The positives are Wi-Fi strong, good tasting water, clean reasonable small laundry. Bathrooms are clean but dated. Land scaping was very nice. Sites were level, but small gravel. Fairly quiet. Overnight stay, it is OK. Tall pines over some sites. Go to Maclay State Garden (5 miles) and the Tallahassee Auto Museum which is awesome (ask for the unadvertised senior special rate and save $3.50) Would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Excellent CG with excellent management. We've stayed at other CG's in Tallahassee but much prefer this CG verses the others. Shaded sites - sites are gravel but fairly level. Convenient to I-10. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very convenient to the interstate, the campground was attractive and the landscaping very nice near the office. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The biggest negative was the narrow sites. You had to walk on your neighbor's site to hook up anything. The slide out went right to the edge of your site. This is a good overnight campground but would not be a "destination" type campground at all. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A nice place, walked in cold w/ easy access to interstate, far enough away to escape the traffic noise. Friendly staff at desk, but no escort to site. Cornering was very tight indeed for me w/ 35' camper and truck. Saw incoming neighbor struggle w/ 40'+ motor home. Sites were narrow, so my slides overhung the next site. Hookups (esp sewer) were w/i a few feet of neighbor's picnic table. The long term sites might have been better, but can't see staying long at site I used (# 9). Didn't use the wifi, but loved the catv. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very clean and well-maintained. The hosts are pleasant and accommodating. Unlike some parks, the hosts do enforce the park rules. This is the reason the park always looks manicured and cared for. Be aware that the park prohibits use of RV washers and dryers. A laundromat is available. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very Clean Campground. Very safe. Friendly staff - a real pleasure. Sites were among the cleanest we have ever seen. Turns are tight, but we saw a 42 foot RV navigating without problems, nor did we have problems. We have lots of family in Tallahassee so we have found a new "home" for our visits. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our second time at arriving at this park without notice and getting a good site, the park is really beautiful and well maintained, flowers grow in abundance and the place has an old English garden feel to it, The management are extremely friendly and helpful, the whole site is in a wooded area and peaceful setting with very good high speed wi-fi, if you need groceries there is a very good store within walking distance, overall this park is one I would recommend to anyone who needed a few days rest in peace and quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Don't bother with this campground. Half the sites are permanent but when you call especially on a "game" weekend they are always full. It doesn't matter if you call 9 months in advance they are full! Half the time they never answer the phone. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The previous posts are pretty much on the mark. The camp sites are very close. We were not able to fully extend our awning. The power was very poor, 110 down to 108 at times. Our system shut off three times for weak power. Gravel pad but level. The grounds were very nicely kept and the staff was friendly. This is a ok overnighter, but not a destination... We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed from a Friday to Sunday. This campground was very clean, neat, pretty and QUIET. Children are allowed, but it didn't seem like the kind of place where I'd feel comfortable letting my kids be kids. Maybe football weekends are a bit looser and noisier. The staff was very nice and helpful. The pull through sites are very adequate in length; room enough for vehicles in front and back of the space. The pool was small, had a lot of rules, but was very deep. The shower/bathrooms were clean, but small--about the size of your home bathroom. Campground is in a very good location 1/2 mile south of I-10 and near Publix and a small strip mall. I would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is immaculate, beautifully manicured grounds, all pull-through sites, towering shade trees throughout, friendly and extremely helpful campground management, conveniently located off I-10 and our favorite RV park thus far. Diesel fuel near entrance with public shopping and hospital/medical care nearby. We will definitely return to this location. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a very convenient park. The management is very friendly and helpful. They are most helpful to assist you in registration, suggestions, etc. The park is very attractive. The sites and not large, but very adequate and meet the needs for a few days. The flowering bushes were at their peak and made for a beautiful facility. Reservations are highly recommended for the busy times of the year. The park is fully booked most weekends. We will return if we are ever in the area again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We really liked this park. The staff were extremely friendly and the facilities are very nice. The laundry is cheap ($1 a load) and their wifi coverage is excellent. We couldn't get satellite reception where we were, but they did have cable, though a small channel selection. The pool was closed while we were here. Location is excellent, with quiet sites off the road and easy access to the highway and downtown. While we were here, we met a few people serving on the Florida State Legislature, staying here while it is in session. They were very welcoming and thanked us for spending our money in their state. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Excellent CG with excellent management team - apparently husband and wife team. We've stayed at other CG's in Tallahassee but much prefer this CG verses the others. Shaded sites - sites are gravel but level. Convenient to I-10. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed here for 3 days and this campground filled up every night. We were not asked to read or sign any rules but we do not travel with pets. This campground is close to I10 as well as a very nice Publix Market & golf driving range/par 3 course. It is also convenient to the attractions in Tallahassee ( capitol, Mission San Luis, Antique car museum, etc ) The sites are close together & it looked like some people were having difficulty in getting level. Most people who stayed overnight didn't even unhook as the sites are big enough to accommodate even the largest rig & towed/tow vehicle. The campground is well maintained, WIFI worked well in the rig and it was surprisingly quiet given that it was only 1/2 mile off the freeway. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a very clean, very convenient campground that is easily accessible off I-10. The interior roads are good but quite narrow and curvy. Nevertheless, we were able to easily park our 40-foot motor home. We arrived in a hard rain and found that the campground drained well, which can make or break an experience. We would definitely camp there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nothing says "welcome" like being asked to read and sign a lengthy list of rules as you are registering. There are an even dozen rules pertaining to pets alone. As retired adults, we think we know how to behave with common sense and courtesy, and it's more than a little condescending to be reminded of so many details. You pay your money, yet you feel like you're on probation. The place is clean enough, and certainly a better overnight stop than some of the genuinely iffy places nearby in Perry, FL where we've stayed. We are not overly impressed with Florida anyway; we consider it a way station between Georgia and Alabama. We chose the place because it offered free wi-fi service. As it happens, the wi-fi is a bit iffy. I am able to access the net and receive email, but cannot send email, except by web mail. Next trip through these parts, we'll choose another spot. You may like it, if you are obssessed with rules. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Sites are very close together as is typical for a private park. That's one reason we prefer state parks or COE parks. Very friendly park management. Upkeep on park is very good except for fire ant mounds. Pet policy is a bit anal. For instance, you can't have pet on a chain next to you when sitting out. Must be on a hand held leash. That said, probably one of the better parks in Tallahassee. Rates go up on FSU football weekends. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The park was wonderful and owners were even better. We were extremely late getting there, after 10 p.m. and they could not have been nicer about it. The site was pretty narrow, but we were only there overnight so it didn't matter as much. The restrooms were very clean, although there wasn't any heat and in March it was very chilly in there. We would definitely stay there again, they were most accommodating. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Clean park, staff very friendly. Sites very close, almost impossible to open awning without hitting neighbors slides or trees. Our dog was covered in ticks after walking in pet area. Talked to other pet owners that had the same problem. Park is over priced for what you get. We have family within a mile of the park so it is good for us, but we will not be back because of the high price and ticks. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Friendly staff. Easy access from I-10. First impression is good due to cleanliness of park and landscaping. Rec room is very nice with large kitchen and family/TV room combined. Two small bath houses with one toilet and shower stall in each. Sites are extreamly small and unlevel. Barely had room to open slides and awning. Would not stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

One of only two decent RV parks near Tallahassee. Not a destination park, but good for seeing the city. Crowded during FSU football games. Florida state legislators stay here in their motorhomes when legislature is in session. Many trees. Most sites are pull-thru. Some are narrow. There is a laundry, contrary to an earlier review. Rec hall is minimal. Best for self-contained units. Only two bathrooms (combination bathroom & shower). Closest RV park to I-10. Supermarket very near. Management is very friendly. They made room for as many RVs as possible during 2004 hurricane evacuations. We've stayed there twice, in 2004 and 2005. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Campground was clean and well layed out..there were places that were tight when manuvering
with the rv, but nothing I couldn't handle..Large trees, flowering bushes, and green grass..The staff was great...a good place to stay We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall, a pleasant stay...but this is NOT a place for you if you are not self-contained. There is only one men's room and one women's room, each about 10x6 with one toilet, sink, and shower in that space and that's all there is! Although not in the park, the neighbors dog to the west bark incessantly throughout our visit. Owners were nice! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Friendly and helpful staff. Sites seemed very narrow, one or two sites in the very back looked like they could be a challenge to level. There are a group of sites up front, we stayed in one of these, I imagine that it would be quieter in the back, as US90 generates a bit of noise. Bath house is small, one toilet and shower for each gender. Rec room is size of standard family room/kitchen combination, and pool looks to be about the size of a standard back yard pool. Laundry facilities are on site (and must be used, no washer dryer use in rigs allowed), and cable TV was included, they have a modem line in the rec room. No playground, no fires, no grills. Good place to go if you have other things to do in TLH, but not a destination in itself. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the place if you want quiet. As previous posting stated, the drive in looks like the owner's front yard. Pull thru sites were plenty long. My rig is 31' had Saturn L300 toad. Room enough for another vehicle to park in the space. If you want activities, you have to go into Tallahassee. Owners were very nice. She was out checking things in pouring down rain. Then he was out picking up downed tree limbs while it was still raining. Really take good care of place. Easy access to I-10. We camped here in a camper.

Very friendly staff. Park is very clean and free of road noise for the most part. First impression is not good because as you enter park you are actually driving into the front yard of manager's house and some spaces are in front yard. Most of sites are in the rear. Sites are very close together, approximately 20-25 feet apart. We camped here in a camper.
