The peaceful and quiet atmosphere of this park makes every visit tranquil and relaxing. Thirty campsites are nestled in the shady, wooded forest - each with water and electric hookups.  A dump station is also provided. A youth campsite is situated on the Dead River for youth organizations to use.

Nature trails run along the river and wind through picturesque pine flatwoods. Ranger guided walks and campfire programs are offered during the summer months.

Water sports are popular on the river in the summer. The park is an excellent place to swim, canoe and fish. Fresh and saltwater fish are abundant. Large mouth bass, bream, catfish and speckled perch inhabit the fresh water, while redfish and speckled trout are common in the brackish water. A Florida fishing license is required for all persons between the ages of 16 and 65 years old.
