Lake Eaton Campground

Enjoyable camping experience. The spots are pretty large and ours had two picnic tables as well as a fire pit. There is a drop toilet in the middle of the campground and only a handful of spots so you don’t have a large group of people out there. No hook ups but bear proof trash/recycle bins. We did have an issue with ticks this time of year otherwise it was truly pleasant. Our neighboring campers were extremely loud all through out the night but that’s not necessarily the campgrounds problem. We did have a little bit of a struggle figuring out how to get back to the campground/site. There were several hiking options close by which we enjoyed (trails not well maintained). Seems most people were out there to fish or take dirt bikes/four wheelers out.

Very nice campground. Most sites are easy to get into and very large. Mostly shaded, so not a lot of solar available, but the shade keeps the heat down to a certain degree. Mosquitos are a problem after sunset so bring you repellent if you plan to be out after dark.

Awesome for camping, no hookups but had a composting toilet. Sure sites are private and only 13 of them. The only difficulty is finding signs out on the road to lead you to the camp but my GPS put me right at their gate.

I visited a week or so after hurricane Milton passed by, so the campsite looked a little rough. Overall acceptable, campsites are level enough. Theres a long-drop toilet but not much more amenities. It is very close to the boat ramp and there's a pier for fishing. Was able to launch my kayak from the boat launch. Lake Eaton is a pleasure to kayak. Lots of alligators in this lake, so watch your dogs! Plenty of birds to view in this area.

Cost is $10 and is done by honor system at entrance. Gates weren't closed at night. Volunteer ranger was not there every night. Had place to myself 1 night. Pit toilets, boat launch, easy to drive to in a truck, even without 4 wheel drive.
