For Hurricane Lake South Recreation Area - Blackwater River State Forest: The park, lake, and supervisor are outstanding, what makes this park a one star is the new reservation system that is now in effect. It cost $6.50 to make a reservation and $15.00 to cancel it. That is pretty high considering one night of camping is $15.00 for a senior camper. Many times I have camped there in one of the two "walk up" camp sites and the rest of the park was empty. You can not use any of the reserved spots even when there are no scheduled campers inbound. I used to go once a month now I go once or twice a year. The reservation idea is a bad one. It makes money for the reservation company not the Florida Forestry Service.
