Military families find a lakefront camping experience at Camp Blanding RV Park, where sites stretch along the water's edge with some positioned just 10 feet from the lake. This military-managed facility requires either active military status or accompaniment by a military member for access.
The campground accommodates RVs up to 45 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections. Waterfront sites allow campers to pull boats directly up to their spot, while paved roads throughout the park provide easy access for bicycles and walking. Two sets of swings and a dock enhance the lakefront area, where families engage in swimming, fishing, and various water sports including jet skiing. The registration building offers kayak and paddle board rentals for those without their own equipment.
Clean bathhouses serve the camping area, and the facility maintains WiFi connectivity. Reviewers consistently note the quiet atmosphere despite the range of available activities. Greg S. highlights the variety: "All water sports, including fishing, boat launch, Jet skis, etc.. plenty of room to swim."
For additional camping choices in the area, consider campgrounds near Starke. Camp Blanding RV Park works well for military families seeking lakefront camping with modern amenities and water recreation opportunities.
