We spend our winters in Sopchoppy about 26 miles south of Tallahassee near the coast. Ochlockonee River State Park and the Sopchoppy City Park are both very nice and are waterfront. At St. Marks (18 miles from Tallahassee) is Newport CG, a county owned park on the St. Marks River and across from the entrance to the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. At Panacea (30 mi from Tallahassee)there is a private campground, the Holiday. It is on the water at Ochlochonee Bay. In Carrabelle (about 40 miles away) is the Ho-Hum, a great favorite with snowbirds. Coe Landing, a county-owned park is on Lake Talquin (about 15 miles west) and also a nice place. We used to stay at Big Oak for football games and it was ok for two nights but I wouldn't want to spend a week there. lizzie
