We camped in one of the rustic cabins this weekend and had a really great time. I was a little nervous about taking all of our gear over on the pontoon boat (including bikes), but the rangers all went out of their way to help us get everything to our cabin with ease. The Park Rangers and volunteers could not have been more helpful and friendly. Park Manager, Ken went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was enjoyable. The campground is well maintained and clean and the park is just beautiful. This is a very affordable way to return to nature and create some special memories. We will definitely be going back!

On the outskirts of Deland, the Hontoon Island State Park is a very good spot to retreat from the hustle of everyday life. A ferry (no charge) takes you across to the island where there are pathways, picnic tables, shelters and even a place to camp or to rent a cabin. Good fishing as well as beautiful surroundings to simple relax and enjoy. Never crowded but always available!

This Is a hidden treasure only one way In only one way out. Come spend a relaxing 1/2 day or full day seeing wild life ,alligators and more. You will take a free short boat ride over to the Island where you can have a picnic birthday party or go fishing & hiking. You can even rent a cabin type place to stay the week end. Great for family friends couples. This you will truly enjoy If you like the out doors and nature and the cost Is 0 Unless you rent a cabin or rent a canoe. I don't know about If their Is a charge If you want to just put a tent up and camp buu you then will have to register with the park rangers.

We took the little ferry across to Hontoon Island and spent some time walking in nature. It's a very bare-bones park - so if you're looking for big thrills, lots of things to do / see, etc., you may be disappointed.However, since we are avid Florida State park goers, we absolutely loved it. It's so nice sometimes to relax among REAL Florida nature and observe different habitats, the birds, and little critters in their quiet simplicity.There's a wonderful little "museum" on the island filled with interesting artifacts and excellent detail concerning local inhabitants (e.g. early peoples, animals, bugs, flora, etc.) The little island shop is also very nice - simple things offered (e.g. ice cream, chips, water, a few souvenirs, some books). The park ranger comes out to open it on an as-needed basis once you ring the bell to enter the shop.It's a great little spot for fishing - you can bring your fishing gear over on the ferry and a nice spot would be up on the grassy mound right near the docks to fish the St. John's River. You can also camp there in the rustic cabins or on the grounds.Overall, a lovely day and we encountered the most friendly people working - from the rangers to the volunteer running the ferry.

We came by boat and enjoyed the walking trails. Yes, back to nature with hawks, eagles, birds of all kinds. Even caught a couple gators swimming about when all the Saturday pavilion birthday & other picnic area activities were over - all had a fun time thank goodness it did not rain until late. Although there was so much rain this summer, we were still able to navigate most of them without any trouble with interspersed flooding. Did not go into the cabins, but saw them walking by - looked nice with ceiling fans, screened porches and appeared very clean along with the entire camping area. When we were there through last weekend there was a boy scout troop there along with lots of volunteers helping to clean some accumulated growth in the river (because of the excess rain this year). Nice to see such professional and caring rangers, some we had a few laughs sharing stories. Haven't been here in 15 years. So glad we made it back and appreciated the improvements! Again, despite a bit wet right now, you really need to visit. The only fees (reasonable at that) are for camping, boat docking, or pavilion rental, otherwise there is no charge, not even for the ferry ride to get across the beautiful river.

The parking area was a bit rocky and anyone with instability issues should be ware. It was quiet when I visited and was good enough to sit back and read for a little while.

I visited this park for the first time today, and was completely surprised by it. First, after parking, I stood on the dock, and a ranger saw me from across the river, and came over to get me in a pontoon boat. He told me about the park on the way back over to the island. There are about 8 miles of hiking trails on the island, and I hiked about 6 of them without ever seeing another human being. There were lots of birds and an armadillo or two. The trails were wonderful, and led to some really gorgeous views of the river from different points on the island. It is an amazing place...one of the best parks I've ever been to. Surprisingly, there is no fee for the ferry or the entrance to the park!

The ride across the river to the island is free. Great place to take little kids fishing when the river is at normal stage. Lots of trails, some camp sites and a store/marina/museum. A little nature doesn't hurt!

The most beautiful Island reached by a small ferry. Spectacular trees festooned by Spanish Moss, a very interesting peaceful day.
