There are 3 different priced portions, Electric &amp; Water, Water, and Rustic, all right in a row. It is usually full on weekends, so we got here on Sunday morning and had no trouble getting an Electric site, #8, which we like since it is next to the woods.<\/p>\n<p>We have never Canoed here since it didn\u2019t look that interesting. I guess you could take a six mile paddle following the shore line all round the lake, but we like biking on the park roads and trails. On Sunday we peddled over to Cobb campground, which was still full. It is very rustic with no facilities. We took a few side roads and made it back to camp, about 8-1\/2 miles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-h-S8I34HNsU\/Wh8Npqgh6fI\/AAAAAAAAGdU\/2mIfTJ2ZpBcsv6N-ugqBl1bqLTdUt_fjwCHMYCw\/s1600-h\/OP%2BRide%2BOlustee%2BTrain%2BStation_s%255B4%255D\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px; float: left; display: inline; background-image: none;\" title=\"OP Ride Olustee Train Station_s\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-XHI9-F1PYxo\/Wh8NqHWu5gI\/AAAAAAAAGdY\/Fzhe2OI9ce88mybR_8gHolsVzTLQiJAMwCHMYCw\/OP%2BRide%2BOlustee%2BTrain%2BStation_s_thumb%255B2%255D?imgmax=800\" alt=\"OP Ride Olustee Train Station_s\" width=\"475\" height=\"267\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>On Monday I did some computer programing for our KHCC <a href=\"http:\/\/keelhauler.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> and the Vermilion River Race.
