Florida Mid-Panhandle Campground

We recently evacuated due to Hurricane Matthew. Our house was in a declared evacuation zone as well as surrounded by big trees - and while we couldn't move the house, we certainly could try to protect the trailer.

We ended up just south of the "megapolis" of Chattahoochee, FL, some 35 miles west of the state capital (south off of exit 166 on I-10). The campground, Triple C's (see http://www.cccscampground.com), is a small family-owned park that has about 46 trailer sites as well as four cabins and some tent sites. They are situated on 30 acres, but most of the land is wooded with trails. It is well away from the interstate, meaning it is quiet. The campground also has a swimming pool, a kiddie playground, a general store, coin laundry and very nice shower facilities. I should also mention the outdoor kitchen that anyone can use.

The owner informed us that he normally has only about 20 campers at the park; during the storm there were more than 65. However, the place did not feel crowded at all. The trailer sites are well spaced; most sites have a picnic table, and all sites have electric (varying 30 amp or 50 amp), water and most have sewer. The owner has had this campground a little over a year and is making upgrades to the facilities, although what we saw was perfectly adequate.

The staff was wonderful. They made our four days there an enjoyable experience. While I do not believe the Friday night pizza party (paid for by the owner) is a regular event, the Saturday pot-luck breakfast (coffee, juice, hot water and hot chocolate, cups, plates and plasticware provided by the campground) and Sunday morning Southern biscuits and sausage gravy (provided by one of the host families) are regular events.

There are numerous state parks in the area, and the US Army Corps of Engineers has a nice reservoir facility (including a campground, a power dam that you can get "up close and personal" with - something I thought amazing in these days of the government worrying about terrorism, and fishing) in Chattahoochee.

I strongly recommend this place. Their rates are quite reasonable ($35 for 30 amp, $40 for 50 amp) and they give Good Sam (and other) discounts. It' a wonderful little park.
