Trail Notes

What we noticed on the ground

On Our 2024 trip to south Florida we did a way point stop for one night at Black Water River State Park. What an amazing place to visit! Even though we had a bit of an issues with one of the staff and getting into our campsite this is one of our (so far) favorite Fla State parks! Blackwater River State Park is haven for kayaking, hiking and fishing! So many beautiful pine trees! Join me as I explore Blackwater River State Park in Florida!

Campnab

Want the best campsite?

I do too.

I want the right site, on the right dates — not just whatever happens to be left when I make the reservation.

That's why I use Campnab.

I tell Campnab the campground, my dates, and the sites I'm looking for. If one of those sites opens up, Campnab lets me know.

Then it's up to me to grab it through the campground's reservation system.

Campnab doesn't book the campsite for me. It watches for the opening so I don't have to.

👉 Have Campnab watch for your campsite.
