Love the area but those who work in the office are RUDE AND IMPOLITE . At least the women who answered for Crawfordville I reached out for details regarding Silverlake Pavilion. Crawfordville office answered finally, very rude not very competent or friendly :) she seemed very agitated at the onset of our conversation. Quickly, she let me know after chuckling and kind of laughing saying they didn't need reservations for the pavilion (1st come first serve) so I said that's great. I ignored her little chuckle, but continued to let her know that I hope I didn't have any problems with using she chuckled again when I was being serious And was gonna ask more questions about electric and water hook ups and such, but did not feel comfortable after her chuckling continued you know people are calling and it should be taken serious not laughing at someone over the phone. As a professional, someone with years of administrative experience I know that was very out of place. Furthermore, I advised her that website says closed on Saturday and Sunday for Silverlake recreation area but from my own personal knowledge , they're open on the weekends she chuckled Again and said with a strong tone "they don't have an office so i'm not sure why It would say that. "(Haha, very helpful) like lady just confirm they are open maybe ..... instead of being rude and having a haughty and nasty attitude. As if I were being ignorant in my asking, very uncomfortable conversation. I was just seeking guidance. I dislike those who use phone conversations to attempted to meaning others, as if they were ignorant it really shows what type of...

Read moreDefinitely a 5 star adventure everytime. Established in 1936, the Apalachicola is the largest national forest in Florida, covering about 574,000 acres. There is so much to see and do. Highly recommend taking the time to speak with some locals ask them a few questions before you adventure unprepared. Local businesses have great advice and you can support the communities by shopping with them. Get a map and always take extra flashlight batteries if you are adventuring at night. Really good advice would be to contact Florida wildlife commission and not go during hunting season. The hunters appreciate the quite and please don't litter or let your campfire get out of control. Preserve this forest for future...
