    Retroville 1960s-70 Drive In Movie/TV Themed RV Park

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 – Quiet, Clean, and Super Responsive Owners

    We stayed at Retroville in Freeport, FL from Thursday to Sunday in early August. It’s a very small, peaceful campground—just one gravel road with a cul-de-sac at the end, where there are a few waterfront sites. The grounds were very clean, and although the waterfront area is a marshy slope (more like a slew off the river), it added to the quiet, tucked-away atmosphere.

    Sites are all gravel and full hookup, and while there’s not a ton of space between them, the campground never felt crowded or noisy. We didn’t see a bathhouse or laundry area, and the small office/store was closed while we were there, but it looked like it sold things like ice cream and small essentials.

    The owners were extremely helpful and responsive, even though they were out of town during our stay. I booked last-minute after 9PM en route, and they still responded quickly and offered help—great customer service even from afar.

    There’s not much to do at the campground itself, but we planned for that. It’s in a great location for day trips—about 30–45 minutes to beaches like Seaside, Miramar, Destin, and PCB. We swam at Vortex Springs (30 minutes away), biked trails around Seaside, and had dinner with live music at North Beach Social just across the bridge south of the campground—highly recommend that spot for food, drinks, and beachy vibes.

    The campground has a fun retro theme with gas pumps and vintage signs, perfect for photos. Wi-Fi and cell service were spotty during our stay, but we expected that based on reviews. If you’re looking for a quiet, clean basecamp with super nice owners and don’t mind driving to the action, Retroville is a solid pick.

    Open Pond Campground

    Open Pond

    The campground is nicely maintained. The bath houses are not the cleanest, but not anywhere near the worst I have seen. But definitely not Buc-ee’s level. LOL But for $16 a day and an hour from Destin you can’t beat that. You can fish the pond (large) for catfish, brim, bass, and one other I don’t remember. Hiking trails are kept in great condition with the exception of a couple of spots. Blue Springs is a short hike and is crystal clear and cool to swim in. RVs can stay in C and D loops.

    Retroville 1960s-70 Drive In Movie/TV Themed RV Park

    Nostalgic Stay

    We really enjoyed our few days at this park. Its newly open and full of details and has a great hollywood museum thst must not be missed. Its very close to the 30a beach area but is hidden. There were a couple of famous Nashville musicians there also camping! The owners take great care of the park and its small and they have mo plans to make it into a parking lot with too many campers.

    The Oaks Family RV Park & Campground

    Didn’t stay but rode through

    I was in the area and rode through very nice quite campground. Talked to the on duty person and was really friendly. It also has a pool and plenty of cabins, bath house and laundry cabin. Doesn’t have double sites but has concrete pad and are close enough to beside each other. Overall 9 out of 10 in my book

    Sand Pond Campground — Pine Log State Forest

    Primitive Camping Sites are Great!

    There are only three primitive camping sites out here and they are very secluded. In site 3 we had a great view of the river and easy access to the hiking trails! If you like primitive camping, this place is the way to go.

    Retroville 1960s-70 Drive In Movie/TV Themed RV Park

    A Hidden Gym in NW Florida

    This place is brand new and we had s chance to stay there on our way back to Ia. It was very close to the beaches and had an awesome waterfront view. The park looks like Drive In Movie and there were a few old hot rods that came by for pictures when we were there. The hosts had a vintage airstream rally going on while we were there and were very nice to visit with. They had lots of mad men 1960s memorabilia in their office snd we got lots of photos and had a great time. We cant wait to spend more time here later this summer w we come back on vacation.

    Wilderness Landing

    Nice little campground.

    It's not on the big side of campgrounds but still has some of the amenities. No hookups at the campsites but there is running water (hot and cold) in the bath house with flushing toilets. Power outlets in the bath house as well. It is located right on the Blackwater River and has a boat launch and two pavilions with tables and barbeque grills right on the beach. The river is sand bottom and fairly clear. My big ol' malamute "Stealie" loves the river! The best part is it's FREE! For up to 14 days.
