Best Campgrounds near Belleair Bluffs, FL

Cant go wrong with a waterfront stay. Book in advanced, especially if you want to stay more than a night or two.

This is my first time camping in my RV anywhere. I should have suspected that an RV resort in FL in the winter would be full of retirees, but I didn't expect the number of mobile homes permanently here. At my site, when looking outside, I had a great view of the lake, am surrounded by mobile homes, and can see only one RV. Great laundry facilities and front office staff are wonderful. Flexible pricing with many discounts. Club house and swimming pool is like being in a retirement resort. There are some nice sites, and all are full hookups, but in my case, I have a small lot with a mobile home, literally about 8 feet along side of me. They have a dog park, and it is shady, which is needed in the FL heat, but not very kept up and clean. Location is nice because you are right off I-75 and can be anywhere in the Greater Tampa Bay area with easy access. However, the noise of the interstate is non-stop, and traffic in this area is really congested.

We were delighted to find somewhere to camp right in Sarasota. This is on private property, the landscaping is such that most of the camp sites are positioned so there is foliage or trees that offer a quaint sense of privacy. The are also birds that offer pleasant song, a curious raccoon, various birds or cranes, and a small alligator that lives in the lake (not to be feared). The days we were there, the camp was still being fixed up from hurricane damage. As it sits it’s a bit of a diamond in the rough, but the vision is there and I look forward to coming back and seeing all the final touches. The hospitality is stellar! Also, best campground bathroom, and free laundry facility which was greatly appreciated.

Lake Rodgers trail and campsites are beautiful and well kept up. The 3 trails( upper, mid, and lower) make it nice to walk thru different terrains.

The Florida Sand Music Ranch is a small campground that has big music events throughout the year. We are her for a 3-day blues music festival. But if you’re looking for a quick stop, they have a ton of open sites Monday through Wednesday. If they are having an event, it will start getting busy (maybe 50%) on Thursday, and full on the weekends.

Originally a 55+ community that changed to an All Age park. They (the staff) were very welcoming and so were the residents. It's a mix of RV's and mobile homes. The pool is nice, laundry facilities are clean. Some things are a little outdated but it's overall a nice little park in a centralized location, I would definitely come back :)

This campground is a County Park in Pinellas County. Well maintained with some of the best beaches in the US. There are three loops one for guests with pets. BRING YOUR RABIES VACCINE PAPERS! Many sites are waterfront and are mostly well separated. Great bike trails. Restrooms are dated but well maintained. Electric amd water. 2 dump sites on property.
Good cell coverage with wifi at the office.

Beautiful location with plenty of things to do. A natural Spring, with a large playground area and nice bathroom/shower facilities

Winter Quarters Manatee is a beautiful resort with a lot of activities and amenities (which include 2 heated pools and a spa). The staff have been great and the clubhouse is beautiful. Very close to beaches, Anna Marie Island, Sarasota, and Tampa. The only downside is that you are close to I75, and there is construction currently underway.

There aren't many free spots in this area of Florida. Of course, they provide nothing other than a spot to camp with fire ring and old table, and an outhouse. We are in a 24' class C and found a nice private area that was surprisingly level. Trailers are accommodated at the equestrian campground. I suggest you arrive before dark as the road is a bit rough and narrow, with no light.

If I could give neg I would! The place is nothing but a bunch of trees, red ants, chickens and roosters! It’s surrounded by slaughter houses and one they found human bones. The husband was outside at night shooting the rats!!!! The owner was nasty to other guests while I was there! She acted crazy chasing and screaming  a guest who was driving in the grass because there was no lighting. It’s like a junk yard.  If you wanted a nice peaceful place to stay, this is not it! The roosters at 3 am and the pigs getting slaughtered and squealing! The place felt demonic! Very dark place. I didn’t feel safe at all and couldn’t wait til daylight to get out of there! Didn’t even stay the next night! Much better camping places in the area!

This was the first time we had camped at Fort De Soto and I was so excited because we planned it for my 61st birthday. However, the bugs were so bad. We set up camp with our tent and all our gear, the bugs became so bad we took it all down and went home.I love the fact that my two dogs could come, but the bugs are a no go. It was absolutely miserable. Other than that it’s a beautiful area so maybe we will try again in the winter. I live north of here in Pasco County and frequently bring my dogs down to the dog beach, which is absolutely beautiful. A shame the campground is so infested.

I stay for 5day during the last week of July 2024. It was beautiful, I stayed at site 34 in had water view and access. So I was able to wake up early and walk 10step and I was on my SUP. Plenty of wild life & I was able to do some fishing and got a few spotted sea trout. Staff at the front desk, store and grounds were friendly and attentive. My site had water and electric and walking distance to a clean restroom.

Horrible management, the president is a joke I will never stay again.  The majority of the people that live in the park are nice but there are also a lot of nasty people, just horribly mean and very nosy.  Terrible place!! Wish I could put 0 stars
