Fort De Soto Campground
Reviewed Oct. 27, 2021

Great Park - Lots to Do

This is a great place to camp, beach, kayak, fish, bike, hike trails, sight-seeing historic fort, etc.

Campsites are nice, especially waterfront. However beware that some campsites that are designated as "waterfront" don't really have a water view from the site due to trees.

One of the downsides of camping here is everytime you leave the campground to go to Walmart or grocery store you have to go through two (!) tolls to get back.

The campground does have raccoons so be sure to secure food in cooler with lock or vehicle when unattended. They're smart and experienced so if you leave food in the tent they know how to open zippers to get inside.

If visiting outside of cold months be sure to bring mosquito/insect repellent. Also bring a fire pit/bin otherwise you will have to burn wood in the BBQ grill (not as nice) or rent a bin.

Bathrooms were clean during my visit and in close proximity to campsites.

All in all, this is an above average campground and park. I recommend it.
