Newport Park Campground is a super little park on US 98 between Nowheresville and BFE.
It’s a 15-site CG on the St. Marks river at, you guessed it, Newport. The St. Marks NWR and lighthouse is right across the street, Shell Point Beach and the Spring Creek Restaurant are a few miles west and Crawordville’s a few more miles northwest. The Wakulla Springs Lodge is right nearby. As far as I can determine, there’s no other CG within 40 miles.
The first night we were there every frog in the universe tuned up; the next morning every bird joined in the cacaphony.
All sites are FHU for a princely sum of $15. The showerhouse shows its age but it’s clean. Call the CG hosts at 850-925-4530 to make a reservation. We stayed in site #7
Here we are snuggled in; it was cold and rainy.
Real woodsy.
Fog rises over the St. Marks River.
And Mister Tigger is in full alert.
