Camp Chowenwaw is decent for a weekend getaway. I don't know if I could handle it for more than a weekend. I like that it is near Black Creek so you can go out on a boat if you have one. You're not just confined to the pool they have. My favorite part is the large pond they have. Did you know it used to be a pool? Now there are Bluegil fish and large-mouth bass swimming in it. There are turtles too, on occasion there might be alligators in it. I stayed in one of the air-conditioned cabins for a few hours. During the day, the unit struggles like crazy to cool off the cabin, but I'm sure it's great once the sun moves over. The trails are nice. The boardwalks are fun to walk on. There are designated areas for "real campers" to set up tents. There are treehouses you can rent out. They are pretty cool but there are no AC hook ups. I like the large black carts you can use to carry your stuff to your designated cabin. Green Cove Springs is 5 mins from it so at least there's places to eat, shop, and play. If you want more, you'll have to drive an additional 30mins from Green Cove Springs to Palatka and East Palatka.

This is an amazing park to visit for just a day out with family or you can also camp in tents or rent one of their amazing rustic type cabins some of the cabins are like tree houses. They have a public pool a playground picnic and grilling. Many nice nature trails to walk on including a long dock out to the water where you can fish. They also have a really nice bathroom facility with changing stalls. You can rent canoes and spend the day on the black creek enjoying nature. Overall the park is a family kid and pet friendly place to visit.

We have never stayed at this park before. We camped at the tent site. Most of the bathrooms were not working properly. The showers only had lukewarm water which made it hard to bathe in the cold night. There was quite a bit of highway noise a times but it was also very peaceful after 10 PM. Cars did not have access to the tent site. You have to take all of your luggage with a cart which was fun at times but annoying at other times because carts were not always available. I would maybe stay there again because the price per night was on the lower end.
