RV camping at Falling Waters State Park also provides a great opportunity for fishing aficionados to enjoy their favorite pastime. The park's two-acre lake features plenty of fishing spots where you can catch bass, spotted crappie, or a Florida gar. All you need is a valid Florida freshwater fishing license and your equipment.

Don’t limit yourself to only fishing in the lake, as you can have a great time swimming in it too. This is a perfect way to cool off during scorching Florida days and unwind in the crystal-clear water. The swimming area has picnic tables, a shower, and a bathroom where you can change.

As far as hiking goes, the park's three short nature trails combine to form a mile of scenic views and diverse terrain. The trails connect almost all of the park's main attractions. For the most part, the trails are smooth, but certain sections are somewhat rugged and a bit more challenging.

The park offers 24 campsites for camping with an RV, all of which are located in the Pine Ridge Campground. This area has an elevation of 324 feet, making it one of the highest hills in the state. All campsites feature electric and water hookups, and the maximum RV length is 45 feet. There are no sewer hookups available, but there is a dump station. Key amenities include a fire ring, picnic tables, restrooms, and hot showers. The majority of sites are within walking distance of the hiking trails and the playground, and they typically have partial shade.

You can reserve a campsite up to 11 months in advance or as soon as one day before your visit. Keep in mind that pets are allowed at the campground, under the condition they are kept at your side and supervised.
