Camping near Carrabelle

·

Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico on the eastern side of the Florida panhandle, the fishing village of Carrabelle is a great place to go if you want white-sand beaches and easy access to Dog Island and St George's Island just off shore. The community's claim to fame is that it was once home to the world's oldest police station, which was essentially just a police phone in a phone booth. You can still see the original at the Carrabelle History Museum, though there is a replica marking the spot where this whimsical attraction once stood.

Goat House Farm is a 501(c)3 owned micro-farm in a rural area of Tallahassee on the beautiful Lake Talquin. The farm has its humble beginnings in the summer of 2015 with four acres, four goats, and four chickens. Founded on the love of animals and a passion for sustainability, we remain committed to compassionate practices and the most natural care of our land and animals as possible. As stewards of the land and herd, we believe we have a responsibility to share nature's blessings. We offer several agritourism opportunities on the farm, from farmstays to day visits. Our primary program is to serve area youth with agricultural education and the opportunities to work with our goats. All proceeds from bookings go toward our programming. It is our goal to create a space where our visitors can have fun and learn about the animals who share that space. We also strive to serve as a valuable resource for first time goat owners. To support that endeavor, we sell chicken eggs, specialty cottage goods, honey, and natural goat milk and honey products. We also sell raw goat milk (for pet consumption only, as per Florida law - Master Feed License #ZOO406).

Private campsite in the middle of the city! My family and I were lucky enough to find a four acre urban forest less than two miles from FSU, the Florida Capitol and downtown Tallahassee. And just a mile from midtown! We are welcoming tent campers to come experience camping in an urban forest. The camping area has a hot water shower and sink, and the main site (#76), is fully outfitted with fire ring, tent pad, fresh water, a picnic table and plenty of hammock trees! The camp area has space for up to 6 tent campers and 2 cars. All sites share the shower and sink areas and a port-o-potty that is professionally cleaned weekly. Sprinter style vans (UPDATE) - We successfully had a Sprinter Van on the site and have now started accepting booking for that style van. Due to limitations on space and clearance, we can only allow vans with a max of around 10 1/2' tall and 23' long. This is equivalent to a Sprinter 170. We can not fit RVs or extended wide bodies conversions. Pets: Pets on leashes are allowed on the property. Guests with aggressive animals will be asked to leave.

Planted pine, orchard, untouched wetlands, walking trails, planted fields for wildlife viewing. Quiet and peaceful escape. Close to several state parks, including Torreya, Three rivers, Seminole, Florida Caverns, and Lake Talaquin forest. At this time I can host 1 RV or camper with full hook ups, 3 RV sites with power, water and 1 boondock (no power/water) site but large enough for an off-grid/self-sustainable RV. I'm always happy to show folks around and share the story. Please note: During the rainy season the grass may get a bit long at times. You can also expect to experience a wide variety of agricultural activities, outside of quiet hours of course. Born out of a dream that started 10 years ago when I acquired 40 acres of forgotten and unmanaged rural woods. Having dug right in with the help of the Florida Forestry Service, FWC, IFAS, NRCS and a very knowledgeable private forester; we developed a conservation management plan to restore it to its native state. The neighboring land became available and happily added another 40, I've learned so much on this amazing journey. 25K pines and a great deal of sweat equity later, it is time to share and encourage others to join in on the conservation efforts and make sure it's around for future generations.

Where to go

Tate's Hell State Forest

A short jaunt from the center of Carrabelle, Tate's Hell State Forest protects all sorts of wildlife, from gopher tortoises and Florida black bears to gopher tortoises and red-cockaded woodpecker. The forest also has around 35 miles of waterways for boating and fishing and a smattering of primitive campsites, most of which have direct river access.

Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park

On the eastern end of St. George Island, a barrier island that's sandwiched between Apalachicola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park is a great place for swimming, sunbathing, and stargazing. If you're lucky, you might even spot a pod of dolphins. The park also has a couple of primitive sites and a  developed campground complete with full hookups and a dump station.

Apalachicola National Forest

Spread out over more than half a million acres, Apalachicola National Forest is the largest national forest in the state. Here you'll find hundreds of miles of trails, over 700 bodies of water, and a wide range of flora and fauna. The forest offers a mix of developed campgrounds, some of which are RV-friendly, and primitive dispersed camping, though some campgrounds are only open seasonally.

When to go

You'll get the best weather in Carrabelle if you visit between October and May, when temperatures tend to be a bit cooler and the weather's usually a bit drier than during the summer months. The risk of hurricanes is also lower during this time. Late April is a particularly great time to visit, as this is when the annual Carrabelle Riverfront Festival—which features craft and food vendors and live entertainment—takes place.
