This park does not meet or comply with the Good Sam quality we are used to. Dirt and dusty interior roads, grassy and unlevel sites, grass on the sites not mowed for over a month, no Good Sam discount, and higher than local competitive rates.

This park looks like it was a KOA at one time and is very much in need of work. The roads are rough and need filling and smoothing. Grass was uncut when we arrived but cut the next day but not trimming around areas not cut by mower. Because of lack of cutting there were weeds with burrs that we covered with a patio mat. We walked past the swimming pool and found it was dirty and unusable and was being cleaned as we drove out. My wife went into the office to look for local information and the... Read More

My wife went into the office to look for local information and the only brochure she could find was not for this area of Florida. This a bad advert for Good Sam. We would not stay here again by choice.

This place was a dump. Junk cars everywhere the road was so bad going in that it felt like the motor home was gonna tip over Giant pot holes filled with muddy water. The motor home was a mess. We booked here because they was suppose to have a pool. Well they had a pool with black mold growing in it and the deep side was a nice green color. I was so upset.

Very disappointing start to our trip. Instead of my granddaughter and I being able to hang out by the pool and relax we took early showers went to bed early so we could get out if there early. The pictures on the web sites very misleading overgrown weeds all around especially the walkway to the pool. I dint think they should be able to use good sams. Extremely disappointed ??

By far the worst Good Sam park ever! Everything is in disrepair, grass is unmowed. From the smell I suspect that the water all over the floor in the men’s bathroom came from an overflowed toilet. The dumpster is so completely full, campers are leaving their trash on the ground all around it. When we tried to dump at our campsite, that overflowed. ??

We visited Tallahassee East Campground as our first stop on a 3K mile trip. We have a 22' Forest River TT and requested a pull through site. Even though we were only staying overnight we walked the entire campground a couple times with our dog and were impressed with the layout of the grounds, sites were level and easy to access. There was a great pool and dock for fishing over a nice lake. It had guard rails (not all do) and great for kids to fish from. The reservation was made in advance and... Read More

My wife and I took our 6 grandkids (ages 2-9) camping. They had the best time! We went fishing in the pond, hiking, swimming in the pool. The four older kids each caught a fish! They enjoyed playing at the playground and roasting marshmallows on our nightly campfire. They had a blast!! Our 8 year old granddaughter said this was the best trip ever!! She said she enjoyed the camping weekend more than our trip to Disney World or SeaWorld. Great time was had by all!

Stayed one night here saw pictures on web site. Camp ground is not like this anymore. Grass need to be mowed on site and around site table in terrible shape. Others campers need to improve some!!! Mostly long term residents. Can see from highway, but have to exit and backtrack several miles to get to it. Good Sam needs to update its reviews on this park . Will not stay here again

Very friendly, free breakfast was wonderful. Clean restrooms. Dirt sites,but were level we had pull thru site. Pool was beautiful (we did not use) We only stayed one night,but would definitely stay again.

Stayed one night on our trip west. Campground is old KOA. All RV sites are pull-thru's and easily accessible. Restrooms clean. Office and lounge area very comfy and homey. Lady at front desk very nice. Quiche and Belgian waffles for their complimentary breakfast. We would stay there again if in the area.

We stayed 3 days. (Arrived on Monday and checked out on Thursday) running from hurricaine Dorian in our RV trailer. Property was clean. Minor electrical issues resolved quickly. Decent bathroom and showers. The game room was cozy. Nice pool and playground. Complimentary breakfast was delicious every day and the cookies and fruits along with coffee all day was a nice touch. Staff is very friendly and helpful. My wife and I along with our pets enjoyed our stay. We would go back.

There are alot of bugs inside of this cabin i stayed in, the air conditioner doesnt cool off the cabin. The smoke detector is missing, shingles are coming off, theres alot of caulking throughout this cabin and there is no tv in this cabin. I have photos of the cabin i stayed at

Very nice campground with very friendly manager in a convenient location along I-10 in Florida. Very nice swimming pool with all areas.nicely kept. They serve Free breakfast.

Great stay at Tallahassee East campground-stayed in a cottage. Staff was very helpful. Moved my daughter out of dorm at FSU and placed in convenient storage units on site. Will definitely be back soon.

Not worth $46. Overnight on way to Orlando. Office lady was friendly Entire place needs an overhaul Nd update. Seems run down, no wonder it's no longer a KOA. Looks more like a storage lot of abandoned RVs. Plenty of open spots. Dump at lot 1 didn't work. There was no free WiFi as advertised. Pool table took our money. Yard maintenance is lacking.

But it's far from the on-ramp - inconvenient.

Sayed overnight on the way to the beach. Great overnight stop, the campground provided breakfast in the morning which included a delicious homemade quiche! Bathroom was very clean and well maintained. Weak internet at the campsite

I made reservations at another RV site near Tallahassee that was closer to the interstate but when I got there I was very unimpressed. I had seen Tallahassee East Campground from the Interstate, so I went to check them out. I was very pleased to find this campground! It had some shade, the electric and water worked fine and the managers in the office were very friendly and helpful.

This place is a dump, the roads are bad making big puddles and it shows a lake but it is a pond. There wasn't even a picnic table at our site! I'm not happy that Good Sams gives it an 8 star, now I don't have any faith in the ratings. I have learned now to do deeper and look at the customer reviews!

This place was a muddy mess. Took my 42 foot class A in clean and came out a mess. Good Sam should be ashamed of themselves for putting they're brand on this one. This site should not allow RV's in under these conditions. Certainly not worth the 42$. Would have kept driving to another park had I known how bad this place was. It's a long drive from I 10 to the site on a winding road. Thumbs down on this one, especially after heavy rains.

Lady at check in was very nice. Was willing to put us in another site if we wanted to use satellite. I said no, we had a very long day and wanted a good night's sleep for another long day the next day. The game room was cute and open until 11 pm, with tv,pool table and WiFi that was ONLY at the office. The swimming pool looked like it had been empty for some time and was dirty.

The game room was cute and open until 11 pm, with tv,pool table and WiFi that was ONLY at the office. The swimming pool looked like it had been empty for some time and was dirty. They did offer a complimentary breakfast. We were charged $41.00 plus $3.00 for electric. And that was with good sam discount. We were very disappointed in this place after paying $43.00!! About 9:30 the power started surging off and on. Husband went out to check the electric hook up. After 30 minutes I called both numbers that was given to me in case anything happened after hours. Voicemail on both and never a return call. We finally unhooked and started the generator. Neither one of us slept much that night! In the am we plugged back in and power was still out. I called the office. She was not aware of the problem. But, had a bunch of excuses: Owners husband died last year Last week a car accident put out their phones We might have gone over our amperage (which we did not) Maybe there was something wrong with our rig? (Works fine after there) The grounds were full of people after the hurricane. I said I was sorry but, we paid to stay there also. She said she had customers and would call someone and get right back to me. I told her we were leaving soon. 45 minutes later and no call. It is now 10 pm that evening and still NO CALL!! So, if you want to spend $43.00 a day and be ignored when there is a problem, stay here. There are some really nice RV Resorts close by for $40.00. To the owners: I was very nice to you and gave you the opportunity to respond and rectify this situation in some way before I wrote this review. We will never be back to get ripped off again!

We were traveling from Texas to Disney World and needed an overnight stop and found this campground online. Reviews that I saw were on park advisor app and even though the reviews were not great, we just basically needed a place to spend the night and mainly dump our tanks. The place looks terrible. Dirt roads that a VW bug would be swallowed in the pot holes. All sites are grass and have huge low spots as well. The septic drain was overflowing and we didn't even get to dump.

We were traveling from Texas to Disney World and needed an overnight stop and found this campground online.

Dirt roads that a VW bug would be swallowed in the pot holes. All sites are grass and have huge low spots as well. The septic drain was overflowing and we didn't even get to dump. Both campers on either side of us advised of the same thing. So we paid $54 for a run down place and didn't even get to dump. Sad that Good Sam even puts their name on this. So if you need a place to just park for the night, you'd be much better off parking at Wal-Mart and that's free.

Things haven't changed too much from KOA ownership. Our site was grass, every corner was a different height. Interior roads horrible. We did not even stop to get a refund and went to another campground. From the highway it looks amazing, but once you get behind the office, not so much.

end of summer trip from Minnesota to Florida. campsites unkempt. streets in campground had muddy puddles. pool had green water. bathrooms have no air conditioning. campsite next to us still had a trash bag left from former campers. no WiFi and no Cable TV. complimentary breakfast was banana/blueberry muffins,apples, oranges & coffee. morning and evening staff were VERY nice.

Extremely low water pressure. Unfortunately the pool was full of bugs and leafs - it is surrounded by a lot of trees. But, they offered a great complimentary breakfast - no complaints about that.

2 2 out of 5 stars 01/03/2017

We ended up not even staying. We pulled thru and saw that the sites were in awful shape, the place was full of trash and old full time RV's that were in just as awful shape. Definitely not worth the price they were asking when you can pay the same and stay in a very nice RV park closer to town.

We rented the two room lake view cabin and based on the price we had pretty high expectations. Very disappointing! Dead bugs everywhere. Could barely get in the cabin because of the tree right in front of the steps. Curtains (I guess you could call them that) were stained and yucky looking. Very inconvenient not to have a place to hang towels or dishrags. Virtually no internet service. There had been lots of rain, but potholes and ruts throughout the park still seemed excessive.

Unkept, unprofessional at desk, empty pool, playground looked like a scary movie, excessive bugs from lack of maintenance. Need to clean up, mow grass, trim, blow, fix fences, remove trash. Permanent residents need to be separated or a place to put all their stuff. Not relaxing at all. No wifi!

This park was a big disappointment. The campground is in a distinct state of neglect and disrepair. Dirt roads to sites were full of potholes. Many washers and dryers were out of service. Many permanent residents were there in dilapidated equipment - looked trashy. That is too bad because it is a good location east of Tallahassee and a nice, treed setting.
