Gateway Trails offers a welcoming atmosphere with its serene setting and friendly hosts, Jay and Suzette. Campers appreciate the peacefulness and proximity to nature, with Blackwater Creek Lake nearby for swimming and fishing. The facilities, including a clean porta potty and water hookups, cater well to both RV and primitive campers. While the Wi-Fi can be spotty, the overall experience is praised for its tranquility and convenience to nearby towns.

Jay and suzette's gateway to Paradise trails. LOL. Sure feels that way up here. You are centrally located to get to Crestview or to Baker or Holt lots of trails. I'm doing traveling through Florida this summer on a bike and backpack and had an amazing 2-week stay one week in the area for campers with tint or RV with power and water hookups. That was nice. Also really liking the nomadic primitive camping in the back. Nice and quiet. Jay and Suzette are absolutely amazing. Can't say enough good things about them. Definitely a great place to come and will be coming again in the future. And highly recommend with the blackwater Creek lake. Just 2 mi away. Perfect place for swimming, water is amazing!!!

We loved the RV! The place was clean and the owners left all the necessities we could think of needing! The location was perfect- near a swimming lake and within 15 minutes of Blackwater river. The only downside was the WIFI was spotty so, when it rained (as it does a lot in June) we had to rely on the DVD player to keep the kids entertained until we could run around outside again.

First off, Jay and Suzette are awesome people super accommodating and the fact that you have access to porta potty excellent tasting water, Wi-Fi and electricity and you're at the gateway to everything. That's why they named their campsite gateway trails. Is your really centrally located between several towns and Crestview is only 10 Mi away which is a pretty big city with lots of restaurants and shopping. The area itself is really a special place. Very beautiful and blackwater Creek lake is less than 2 mi away. Perfect place to swim or fish or hang out for the day. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks Jay and Suzette. You guys rock!

Such a gorgeous spot and the hosts were so sweet and hospitable not to mention the tv provided everything we needed and then some. A week to shut down here was exactly what we need and my favorite part was I could have the woods in the morning and night but the beach as well being only 40 mins away. We so appreciate jay and Suzette and will be back next year 🖤

Flat, easy access to electric and water. Short walk to pota potty. Welcome packet was very detailed allowing us to find the location quickly at dusk. Barn animals sound an early wake up, but that wasn't bothersome for our trio.

We loved car camping on Jay and Suzzettes land. This was our first time using Hipcamp and they couldn't have made things easier! They provided easy to follow instructions and offered optional amenities. The site was private and I really enjoyed rising to the sounds of the livestock. We would definitely stay again!

The boondocking site was just the right fit for that leg of my travels. Self contained toyhauler and Chihuahua mix. Once the door closed maybe if semi drove past may I have heard it. Host's were talkative quite pleasant and informative. Stay again, sure would.

This was my second trip to Gateway Trails, first was a solo trip and this time, friends came to enjoy! This site was new to me but was equally wonderful. The campsite was so spacious and yet private and protected, we felt perfectly safe walking around at any time of the day or evening. The site-mentioned outhouse was pristine upon arrival, our purchased firewood was stacked so carefully by the perimeter of our site so it wouldn’t impede tent setup, and the fire pit and table were clean and ready to go! We had less bug friends than I’ve ever seen at a campsite, plenty of space right next to the potable water to set up a portable shower, and the stars at night were clear and bright, deep in the heart of Florida (ten points to you if you know that adjusted lyric). Mr. Jay came to greet us and brought over his adorable pup to say hello as well. It’s been two years since I’ve been to their campsite, and he still remembered me (even after all their fully booked months!) and greeted us all with such kindness. We were bummed we didn’t get to see Mrs. Suzette but respectfully might request a celebrity appearance next time we come down! Thank you Gateway Trails for a fun, safe, and gorgeous camping trip, we cannot wait to come back.

The property is in a perfect location for star gazing, safe with gate code.Owners have a residence and can assist with pre-delivering firewood and or even a complete tent set up.Private nooks for campers and a new bath house being built.
We went with 2 dogs 3 kids and it was great!

This is a beautiful, private campsite. I love waking up to the roosters, trees and solitude. The walk in is very short and well worth it. Hosts are kind. Highly recommend this place.

Nice location set back in the trees. Jay was friendly and helpful. Not much road noise, very quiet except for birds, occasional rooster crowing and donkey braying. Good birding with a lot of native plants and transitional habitat.

Everything went very well they were incredibly helpful as when I arrived I have power issues on my trailer and there very helpful in resolving. They were very helpful and understanding with my bad mood and stress that day. This camp site will definitely be added to my rotation as I camp often. Highly recommend

Excellent camp all around!! Can accomodate all camping styles with RV, tent, boondock, all types of sites! Walking trails were great. Restroom was clean. A lot of hard work to make this a great camp is noticed when you walk the property. Stayed 3 nights. We will be back!

Nice little camp grounds. We used it to test some new gear and see how the dogs would react to camping. There is a small bathhouse being built but not finished at this time. The portable toilet is perfect for the time being.
