This group campsite is lovely. We had over 60 senior ladies in their various vehicles for a 3 night meet up. The grounds are spacious and beautiful. The camp hosts, Mitchell & Diane are gracious and very helpful without being intrusive. This spot is a true gem in the National Forest system.

We enjoyed the River Forest Group Site for out church event. It was nice to have the entire location to ourselves. We saw a lot of wildlife (bears, alligators, possums, etc) but felt safe and prepared. The showers and screened in pavilion served us well throughout the weekend. It would've been helpful to have a refrigerator on site but we made it work with coolers and ice. The mosquitos were really bad, so we recommend you bring a lot of bug spray.

Such a beautiful and amazing campsite along the St. John's river. The campground was so spacious, had an amazing dining pavilion with electricity and upgraded bathhouses. The campsite hosts Mitchell and Diane kept the grounds in fantastic shape and were so helpful during our stay. I highly recommend this site for your next group camping.

The site was beautiful, but the current hosts on site were not good. They have a dog and greeted us with their dog off leash. They said we either need to have our dogs on leash or under control. That was not a problem at all, and even understandable. Then the moment one of our guests showed up with a dog, the hosts came back over and said that all dogs have to be on leash since they have 2 cats roaming the property. The male host also kept going through our camp site at odd times, and even came over at 8pm to lecture us on how to bag up the garbage from the 1 garbage can in the pavilion for the morning. We felt we had no privacy and were very uncomfortable with the male host. We had forest rangers camping with us, and they were more upset about the hosts than anyone since they know what hosts should be like. We have all camped at numerous sites, and have never been made to feel so uncomfortable by a host as we did at this site. We would recommend this site to anyone once the current male host is not there anymore.

What a great site for group camping! My church group goes there twice each year and we love it! St. Francis hiking trail nearby, boat ramp nearby. Right on the St. John's River. Secluded but not too far out. The screened pavilion with electricity is awesome! I would love to be camp host there some day!

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
