Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, FL 2015


Spent 3 days at Stephen Foster Folk CC, SP.   
Very nice, clean, quiet, a real hidden gem for 22 dollars a night.  Its a small town, has gas, ice, Dollar General.   The Florida trail comes right though it.  The bath houses are clean, there are two of them in the campground. 


We had spot 7 but every one of the sites were nice



 Grill and a fire ring.   


This is the bell tower where they play melodys of Stephen Foster songs all day long.... none at night of course.


The campground is only 1.5 hours away from Jacksonville, so we decided to check out the beach.


Spanish Moss is everywhere
Below is a miniture of the bell mechanism that is in the tower, I believe it is the largest of its kind


Cousin Thema's is the gift store, lots of books and nick-nacks.... they do have ice cream and free wifi 

Below is the museum dedicated to Stephen Fosters works... has some of his instruments admin is free

Below is the famous Swanee River....  featured in one of his songs.  (we didn't do any swimming)





Hiking on the Florida Trail.... 

 Packed up and ready to head home... Really enjoyed the stay
