I checked a few I know and two of the three were wrong.. But they were still cheep, so not bad info!
The one it lists in Knoxville is about a mile away from where I work. You can camp there if you don't mind running the risk of being mugged while drug deals go on around you.

Definitely read recent reviews from other campers that have stayed at any spots you might consider.
I took a nice 100 mile round trip ride on a gorgeous day from Fort Walton Beach, FL up into the Blackwater Forest near Holt and Baker, FL to check out a free camp ground I found on the FreeCampSites.net site. I was looking for some close options to make some trial camping trips as I get myself setup for some longer distance camping trips on the ST. If you are traveling through the Florida panhandle and need a free campsite with a nice bathhouse and hot showers not very far off of I-10 near Holt and Crestview, check out Wilderness Landing Park. It is right on the Blackwater River. There is only about 1 mile of red clay roads once you turn onto Corduroy Road. If you enter from I-10 at Holt, take Bryant Bridge Cutoff Road and Norman Riley Road to Corduroy (map). If entering from the north off of FL Hwy 4, take Old Martin Road then slight left onto Charlie Foster Rd/Environmental Center Rd/Old Martin Rd (map).

See pictures I posted on the "Where did you ride today?" thread.

Great to see this... I was doing some route planning last week and had the Bear Lake Campground on one of the possible routes... and it's in the Black River Forest. Nice to see some pics and a recommendation from someone who has stayed there.

Everything is free when compared to KOA prices.....

BLM, WMA, and COE are my first search choices as they are usually empty.
For the uninitiated:

I've found KOA's aren't far behind State Parks. I've pretty much placed both on my list of LAST RESORT. The exception is when it's late, gated State Parks after hours move to the very top of my list- I have had no problem setting up my camp right outside the gate/ fence and also never paid.

I have used it .. best thing to do is find it on google maps and you can see if its there or what the area looks like. Some sites( one that are currently there and verified) have stars, pics and reviews. There is lots of information on camps site to do research on.
most of the one you listed have a 50% discount with a Golden Age Pass

Click here for some video of a trip I made to camp at this campground 2 weeks after that initial visit. This is in reference to Post #7 about Wilderness Landing Park near Crestview, FL in the panhandle.

Kinda wished you almost posted a pertinent reply ... but that applies to most of my posts too.

I did watch this when you posted it. Had not clued in that it was in the area I was looking at. Gave you a thumbs up and a comment on YouTube as Old Guy on a Bike.
Anyone ever purchased and used the Ultimate Public Campground App?

Nope but I have this one installed that is pretty good:
