Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Bagdad, FL

914 Reviews

Fort Pickens Campground accommodates pets across its tent, RV, cabin, and glamping sites with full hookups for water, electric, and sewer connections. Several pet-friendly campgrounds near Bagdad provide dedicated pet amenities, including Avalon Landing RV Park where dogs can enjoy the water view from the footbridge that connects the park's east and west sides. Pets are permitted at Milton-Gulf Pines KOA, which features pull-through RV sites, though some reviewers note the sites can be challenging to navigate for larger rigs despite being long enough for 44-foot motorhomes. Splash RV Resort & Waterpark maintains a large dog park with a washing station, perfect for cleaning up furry companions after outdoor adventures. The sites are well-maintained with concrete pads, though some locations experience traffic noise from nearby Interstate 10.

Dog owners should be aware that most campgrounds require pets to remain leashed except in designated dog areas. Blackwater River State Park offers nearby natural trails ideal for walking dogs, while Emerald Beach RV Park provides water access opportunities for pets who enjoy swimming. Highway noise affects certain sites at both Splash RV Resort and Milton-Gulf Pines KOA, something to consider when selecting a site location for noise-sensitive pets. The Hideaway Retreat (formerly Magnolia Beach Campground) and Santa Rosa RV Resort both allow pets with waterfront locations providing stimulating environments for dogs. Several parks have implemented pet waste stations throughout their grounds, making cleanup convenient during daily walks. Park hosts at Avalon Landing are noted for being particularly helpful with pet-related questions and guidance on local pet-friendly attractions.

    Fort Pickens Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

    Good but not very private

    We went tent camping for two nights with our pups at Fort Pickens and we really did enjoy it. The campground was nice and clean. They had nice showers and potties as well. The showers in the RV section have better shower heads btw. The beaches are gorgeous! A tip for travelers with pets, FL does not allow dogs on their beaches accept in specific "dog park" locations. Our dogs are not.. eh, normal .. so we ended up driving down to a private beach so they could enjoy the ocean. There is a lot of night life but We decided to skip that this trip. We enjoyed the beaches in the park at night and i highly recommend it! All in all we enjoyed our trip but we probably won't be back to Fort Pickens campground. The sites are very close together and we had a very nosey and drunk neighbor who really wanted to chat. We camp to get away from people, just saying. We were also bothered by RV and truck lights shining directly into our tent both nights from people driving through the campground. Not the best but we enjoyed camping at the beach.

    Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Campground

    One of our favorites in our home state!

    We have stayed here several times. We love it! Little pool, dog park, beach close by, tons of biking, deer, turkeys, birds galore. Highly recommend the Donut Hole for breakfast, brunch or lunch! So good! Service was awesome!

    River's Edge RV Campground

    Swampy!

    We arrived and everything was dry. The next morning, our site had literally turned into a pond. By the time I finished packing up to leave, I literally looked like I jumped in the river with all of my clothes on. Haha I guess that’s camping in Florida for ya. The park was nice overall. The bathrooms were okay. Full hookups and lots of trees so our service was a little spotty.

    A Cozy Corner RV Lodge

    Quaint RV Park!

    Easy check in online. FHU-some shade, level concrete pad, picnic table. Easily backed in our 40 ft Montana. Very clean bathrooms, didn’t use just looked. Washer and dryer, and nice dog park. Close to lots of stores and restaurants, 20-30 min from beaches depending on traffic. Some traffic noise, since it’s next to a main road.

    Pelican Palms RV Park

    Easy spot off the highway.

    This camp ground is growing so there was quite a bit of construction debris around, but looking past that. This spot is literally right off Hwy 10 at exit 26 making it convenient for travelers. I would not recommend this campsite for true "camping". On ground fires are not allowed and there are no trails or walking areas. There is a small dog park but it is not really a "park". The Pool looked nice, but was closed. Nice shower house with great shower pressure. Probably 50/50 on folks living there and those just stopping through. I stayed 3 nights during the week, it was very quiet. The price is great for the location close to beaches, rivers and city. Not the prettiest camp ground, but if you just want to park your rig while you hit the beach, good choice.

    Pensacola Beach RV Resort

    Not Happy this stay

    This is our 3rd time here we pay a lot of extra money for premium site only to find out that they have a tiki bar directly behind us . Partly spoiling our view but the worst part is lots of people walking through our site to get to bar . This includes workers at bar pulling through supplies on carts . People drunk outside our camper cursing and swearing at night . We came for beautiful relaxing time not happening . The place looks lovely and we have enjoyed it immensely until this time . Also people not using dog park and dogs shitting on our premium site . Next to us had a family that had 4 RVs and they all congregated at the one beside us taking over part of our lot . I couldn’t hardly use my outdoor shower without 20 or more people there . This place has really changed . We won’t be back will look in destin probably for the future.
