"Beautiful beach, trees between paved spots, bike path, cute coffee shop on site, bike rentals, & a great location!"
RangerFalling Waters is a convenient stop, close to the interstate and easy to access. The campground is gated with an access code for after-hours entry, which made us feel secure. Sites are level gravel with a picnic table, fire ring, and even a handy towel-drying rack. They’re spaced nicely, not too close to neighbors, which we appreciated.
The bathhouse facilities were clean and well-kept (we didn’t use the laundry facilities), and there’s a dump station since none of the sites have full sewer hookups. Cell service with T-Mobile was excellent.
The park itself has a small but nice swimming area at the ‘lake’ with its own restroom house. Unfortunately, there hadn’t been any rain during our visit, so the falls were dry, but the trails were still worth walking. We brought our e-bikes, but aside from riding around the campground and down to the lake and trailhead, there really aren’t bike-friendly paths—definitely wouldn’t recommend taking bikes on the trails.
Oh, and the play ground was very nice and the covered pavilions were nice.
We checked in after hours without any issue, but Joey came knocking at 8 AM sharp the next morning like the police 🚨 to give us our parking pass—definitely a wake-up call we weren’t expecting!
The nightly rate was advertised at $18, but after fees it came to around $30 per night, which still isn’t bad for what you get. Overall, it’s a peaceful, clean campground with good amenities and a nice location, just don’t expect to be able to ride bikes on the trails or always see water at the falls.
Highly recommend the 45-minute drive to Econfina creek, we rented a canoe and did the 8-miles to see 7 springs.
RangerWe continue to visit the Gulf to look at where retirement may end up. Another great state park. Lots to do hiking to the dunes or lake. Checking out if the gators will let you see them. Hanging at the beach. Bike riding down 30A or around the park. Everything is close by. Great weather. Most sites are shaded. If you have satellite or Dish setup you may be limited to get signal. Also you will need to bring your own fire ring and grill as many sites do not have either. You cannot go wrong with this park.
RangerThis is our second stay here. It is so easy to book online or over the phone. They have restrooms, a bathhouse and restaurant options within walking distance. I. Forgot to take pictures AGAIN. Would definitely stay here again and will try to remember to take photos 😂
ScoutPrivate camp spot in a great location.
TravelerVery close to beautiful freshwater springs
TravelerWe stayed here for two nights/three days of a ten day trip. It was hands-down the nicest of the locations. Clean, concrete pads, excellent location and good wi-fi that was not up-charged. The pool area was nice and clean. Service and staff were excellent/friendly and they escorted us to our site upon arrival. They also have trash pickup at your site daily. We saw a security truck drive through several times and had no problems from our neighbors. The location near the water cannot be beat. We were located near the docks and I was able to launch my paddle board easily. The water was gorgeous and clear on the adjacent spring/pond. Our AT&T cell service was good.
My only(very minor) complaints are that there are very few trees or shaded areas at this location and it would have been nice to have the fire pits included at the site. We did not spend any time sitting outside our camper and we only did about ten minutes in the dog park because of the sun, but then again, it's Florida in July in an area that's still recovering from tornadoes and a major hurricane. And by the time we thought it had cooled off enough to enjoy s'mores in the evening, the office had long since closed so we couldn't rent a fire pit. We have family that we visit often in the area, so we will definitely stay here again! We camped at Florida Caverns RV Resort at Merritt's Mill Pond in a Travel Trailer.
RangerWe stayed at Retroville in Freeport, FL from Thursday to Sunday in early August. It’s a very small, peaceful campground—just one gravel road with a cul-de-sac at the end, where there are a few waterfront sites. The grounds were very clean, and although the waterfront area is a marshy slope (more like a slew off the river), it added to the quiet, tucked-away atmosphere.
Sites are all gravel and full hookup, and while there’s not a ton of space between them, the campground never felt crowded or noisy. We didn’t see a bathhouse or laundry area, and the small office/store was closed while we were there, but it looked like it sold things like ice cream and small essentials.
The owners were extremely helpful and responsive, even though they were out of town during our stay. I booked last-minute after 9PM en route, and they still responded quickly and offered help—great customer service even from afar.
There’s not much to do at the campground itself, but we planned for that. It’s in a great location for day trips—about 30–45 minutes to beaches like Seaside, Miramar, Destin, and PCB. We swam at Vortex Springs (30 minutes away), biked trails around Seaside, and had dinner with live music at North Beach Social just across the bridge south of the campground—highly recommend that spot for food, drinks, and beachy vibes.
The campground has a fun retro theme with gas pumps and vintage signs, perfect for photos. Wi-Fi and cell service were spotty during our stay, but we expected that based on reviews. If you’re looking for a quiet, clean basecamp with super nice owners and don’t mind driving to the action, Retroville is a solid pick.
TravelerPretty nice small campground. The hike trails are not that exciting with little to no reward at the end. There is a tiny “waterfall” but not something that’s gonna make you say wow once you get to it.
ScoutVery nice views of lake and shade also for the hot summers
