This Park is about a half mile north of the Chipola Boat Ramp on SR 166 at Yancey Bridge

The second spot for camping is a private campground at Scotts Ferry General Store and Campground. They have some cabins, and space for tents or trailers/RV's. There number is 850-674-2900 and they are located at 6684 Sr. 71 S, Blountstown, FL 32424

Camping On the River: A majority of the land is privately owned so there are no officially designated camping sites along the river. There are two islands where locals camp, and some people paddle a short distance up Dry Creek and camp on a spot on the left side of the creek. Sandbars are extremely limited along the Chipola, so one cannot expect to camp on sandbars.
