Reviews of Mike Roess Gold Head Branch State Park
"Such a calm and peaceful state park. Stayed in the Lakeview campground. Part of it is pretty sandy, so if you are looking for asphalt sites, this may not be for you, check beforehand! The campground is 3 miles into the park, after the ranger station. Walked the Ridge & Loblolly trails, nice scenery and the water from the spring is crystal clear. Biked around the paved areas of the park, there are lots of hills!"
"Nice park with cabins and surrounded by lakes. Cabins are rustic but has the basics, beds arent too comfortable and creak a lot though and bring extra pillows. Small kitchen with a fridge, toaster and coffee maker. Nice and quiet to hang on the porch with a beverage of choice at night."
"Don’t know what more you could ask for. This place is serene, beautiful, plenty of roads for wheel-based sports, beautiful hiking on the Ravine trail, spring creeks, adequate bathrooms that are kept clean, and just an all around great old Florida experience. Lakeview loops has a treacherous leg that bigger rigs may not be able to navigate. Avoid site 71 (trailhead) and 73 (clear cut for overhead power lines)."
"I have been at this park as a camp host for a little over a month. This is an amazing park for so many reasons. Wildlife is amazing. The rangers and staff are top-notch. So much to do. Hikes. Camping. Canoe rentals. It is such a hidden gem. It's so worth the visit."
"We had a beautiful day wandering here. So much wildlife and many plant species. We will definitely be back. The trails were great and go on for miles. The landscape is so peaceful."
