Donald MacDonald Campground

This county-managed campground operates year-round with 30 tent sites and 4 RV sites featuring water and 30-amp electric hookups. Located on the Sebastian Waterway, Donald MacDonald Campground provides drive-in access along with boat ramp facilities for watercraft arrivals.

The 30 tent sites accommodate small pop-ups and include concrete picnic tables and fire rings, with most positioned among trees and shrubs that create natural separation between camping spots. Reviewers consistently note the campground's quiet atmosphere, particularly during weekdays when occupancy remains light. A fishing deck extends over the water, and hiking trails wind through the property where campers encounter local wildlife and native vegetation.

Bathhouse facilities require a combination code provided at check-in and feature hot showers available exclusively to registered guests. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis, though Mike Y. notes that "tent camping you would be fine the RV sites I think on weekends you would be out of luck." A dump station serves RV campers, and the property includes a playground area accessible via the trail system.

For additional overnight options, campers can explore campgrounds around Sebastian. Bring bug spray during summer months when humidity and insects peak.

Numerous guests pointed out the quiet, secluded atmosphere and good facilities including quality bathrooms and hookups. Many mentioned the family-friendly features like playground and fishing pier, though some noted tent sites run small.

Great for small families

One of the best little places to get your youngins out into nature for the first time... It's small but has everything that a campground should have. Nice pier to fish off of, little nature trail, and a boat launch. And to top it all off it was cheap! A little small for my taste but over all a very nice place .

Decent!

The tent sites are a little small but most of them are shady and secluded with lots of trees and shrubs between! Good bathroom and shower, and lots of trails to explore, leading to a boat ramp and playground

We had an awesome stay. Very quiet and relaxed. Wasn't much for hiking trails though and the camp groundsman kept finding reasons to come on to our camp and conversate for far to long. Friendly but to much so.

Hidden gen

Giving 3 stars for now. I read a review in this and is at my backdoor. Never new about this place. Hiking trails, boat ramp, fishing, on the Sebastian Waterway. There are 30 sites that are for tent or a small pop up. Sites are large include a concrete picnic table and fire ring. There are several locations to get water from. Bathhouse is for camping guest only and you need a combo code to get in. There are 4 sites that are for Rv’s that have water hookup and 30amp service. This is a first come first serve campground. Reservations are not taken. Tent camping you would be fine the Rv sites I think on weekends you would be out of luck. Today on a Tuesday there was 2 taken and all the 30 other tent/pop up were available. Close to a lot of shopping. Plenty of wildlife and plants to discover.

Beautiful, private escape into nature.

I spent very little time at the campgrounds but felt compelled to write a review because I felt like this was such a hidden gem! Granted- I went during a bad time weather-wise. Hot, humid, and full of bugs but those aren’t things the campground can help. If you’re going during the summer months, bring loads of bug spray. I’ll preface this review by saying that I don’t like the ‘Disneyland of campgrounds’ places. We just came from Boyd’s campground in the keys and as nice as the facilities are, I like to camp to get dirty and feel like I’m in nature. Macdonald campground is perfect for the minimalist who wants nice privacy and a pretty environment. Easy online reservation but don’t forget to check for the bathroom code when you pay online!
