Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Anna Maria, FL

The park is wonderful. Big. One of the two pools on the property provides a lovely view of the lake and a hot tub.The recreation hall is beautiful and has a lot of activities. Throughout the week, food trucks and other vendors visit the premises.Sites are spacious. The staff is very friendly. well-kept park BUT, it's right next to Highway 75.We were fortunate to have a site on the opposite side of the lake, farthest from 75, and the noise was no problem. The sites are assigned to you prior to arrive by text. But not on the other side of the lake. And to think, some of the sites on that side(along the lake) are Elite and Premium(between the lake sites and the standard sites that are up against 75), while standard and standard are practically backed up to the highway.We had a wonderful site. It was a bit different from the norm as you backed in, but you were parallel to the road you came down. It's different, but it's nice. The ATT hotspot was powerful, and T-Mobile phones are 5G!

Close to plenty of shopping and of course, Anna Maria Island, a must see!

We stayed here because we were visiting family in town.  It is a nice place, but we felt packed in around all the big campers in our little pop up.  Very small sites, but maybe this is normal at private campgrounds? We are used to being out in nature. I also did not anticipate no grills/fire rings.  The bathrooms/showers were very nice, we joked that they might be nicer than our house. ;-) We did not need to do laundry, but there are coin machines.  We were very bummed to not try the pool, as there were heavy rains the few days we were in town.  It looked lovely.  We did make it to Anna Maria Island one afternoon when the sun came out and Holmes Beach never disappoints.

Stayed here for a week in May - quiet, pretty campground with friendly staff, a petting zoo and vegetable farm on property. We enjoyed the produce market, but you could also go in the fields and pick your own. Camper sites had enough room between them, the electric/water sites had good tree cover for shade. There were cabins, a silo, and covered wagons you could also stay in. There's a big dog park, but not much shade there. There's a winery just 1 mile away. The Sarasota beaches and mangrove kayaking are an easy 45 minute drive away. The only thing I wished they had was a pool... Overall, we had a nice time here.

This is one of the best parks anywhere. It’s not a National Park surrounding a national treasure but it might as well be. The park has three loops. All have waterfront sites and inner loop sites. One is set up for tents, folding campers and small teardrop style trailers. One is conducive to big rigs but it’s a tight fit and one handles all, but allows pets. There’s lots of wildlife, particularly raccoons. A short drive or bike ride from the campground lands you at the old fort, or a ferry to Egmont Key for the day, or a beach with a view of Tampa Bay and the Skyway bridge, or the amazing north beach which has been listed several times as the best beach in America. It’s a truly gorgeous park. Kayaking, SUP, dog parks, dog beach as well as coyote, rattlesnakes, amazing shore birding, white pelicans, eagles, ospreys, roseates, manatees, dolphins... hard to get reservations but well worth it.
Our return to this park year after year resulted in us building a home in the area for our endless summer adventures.

Nice place to stay in Palmetto. I just moved into my RV and this was my very first camping stop so I had TONS of questions and needed quite a bit of help. The staff were super friendly and the neighbors were extremely helpful in showing me how to get everything set up. They have a nice pool and laundry facilities - would recommend coming with a separate vehicle as there's not much within walking distance, but it's only a short drive to Tampa, St. Pete, and the Sarasota/Bradenton area. They also have a nice size, fenced-in dog park with a dog walking path, so bring your furry friends!
