Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Branford, FL

Best campsite I've been to so far! With the state park close by, you can go tubing, kayaking or just for a swim. The office has pool tables and games for kids to enjoy. The staff are incredibly friendly. There's also a lot of friendly animals that live on the property, such as goats, a donkey, chickens, dogs and cats. It's a wonderful family friendly experience for all. Bring your friendly pets too! Very pet friendly.

This is a very nicely kept campground. Clean full hookups or tent camping area. Nice layout and spaced spots. Clean pool and bathrooms great long board walk that leads to the Swanee River. Pet friendly with pet walk area. Staff was very friendly and accommodating small lake with catch and release fish got a few nice size cat fish and had a get visit by a baby gator   Off the beaten path I would highly recommend staying here

Staff very friendly. Guide to the site which was very roomy and level. Nice facilities. Great dog park.

So fun! Awesome dog parks, chicken poop bingo (yes, you read that right!), pigeon races, movie and ice cream nights….too much to list! Easy to get around with RV.

Easy check-in after hours, nice place on golf course. Easy to get around in 42 ft 5th wheel and nice spacing between pads. Nice sized dog park.

Very nice resort. We don’t golf (this was the closest place to our grandkids!) so I can’t speak about the golf course. The RV resort is wonderful! Friendly and polite staff and neighbors. Clean laundry and bathhouse. A large dog park. My only suggestion would be to divide the park into “little dogs, big dog” sections. Big rig friendly. We would most definitely recommend this resort!

Everything we could hope for; private sites, extra large super-sites, pull-through, back-in, fishing lake, swimming lake, swimming pool, sports courts, dog park, pub and poolside cafe and restaurant, miles of walking trails and conservation area. We are happy campers, can't wait for spring.

When I called, they were closing, they accepted me as a late arrival with details on where my site was. Clean and quiet. They have rescue farm animals on the property, they have a dog park, pool and clean shower/restrooms. I’m already planning a repeat visit with a longer stay…

Stayed on site 115. No tree coverage or shade, but a nice site. Full hook up & well maintained. Campground is new & facilities look like it. Well maintained & the sites are all well manicured. An off leash dog park, 24hr rec room, general store, and restroom facilities. Would definitely recommend if in the area.

First time here. Love it, will be back for sure. Great river/springs access. Great for kayaking/tubing or boating. Great dog areas. Food is good on the weekends, live music, very poor wifi. Spots by the dog park don’t have shade but most of the other sites do. Lots of fun activities. Great bike path just off property. Friendly staff. Site 212 was 50 amp only so I had to use a converter. Can rent kayaks on site if you don’t own one.

Exceptional campground with clean facilities and wonderful staff. Many amenities including game room, dog park, playground, general store and more to come! If you do happen to have any concerns or issues, the staff and management team are EXTREMELY RESPONSIVE and will even follow up to ensure issues have been resolved and your family is enjoying the stay. Looking forward to returning in the very near future and will recommend to all family and friends.

SRRR is a 40 acre park with country-clever DIY vibes and unusual artifacts including a handmade automated bowling alley in an abandoned chicken coop with mechanical levers that return balls and reset pins, weekly events ranging from chicken shit bingo to pigeon racing, a dog park, and a cozy spring-side divey lodge-like restaurant. Despite its name, convict spring is a beautiful clear fresh water spring, best appreciated in winter when no kids are kicking up dirt in it. I have tent-camped in a lovely prim spot beside the river and also RV camped with my Skoolie here. I adore the beauty of the location, spring-side on the broad Suwannee River, but had to subtract one star for the horrendously bad and unwelcoming (verging on foreboding) service at the cafe, and disappointment that the hot tub was closed both times we visited. Will def return to this spot.

Had to leave because they don't allow pets

We spent one night at Payne’s Prairie in mid February, site 46. The campground is ok - nice wooded sites, but not as much privacy between sites as we have been spoiled by in other FL state parks. The biggest disappointment for this state park is that all of the things they advertise (and I was looking forward to) - bison, horses, wildlife - are all on trails where pets are not allowed. We did one of the only trails you can take your dog on (the Lake Trail) and drove over to the ecopassage observation boardwalk site. It’s a pretty area, but we were very disappointed we couldn’t do most of the hiking trails with a dog. We won’t return unless we come someday without our dog.

sites have water and electric only. Clean bathrooms, pet friendly. Hiking trails, kayaking and playground.

Electric and water hook ups. Camping sites are large enough for 2 tents. Shaded well. There’s a decent boat ramp with over flow parking for the truck and trailer. Great for kayaking and Small boating. Trails are great for hiking and a few for mountain biking. Neat cemetery back in the grass lands near ranger station, lots of tortoises to see. Pet friendly for domestic pets. Ranger station was very helpful and knowledgeable about trails for longer distance biking. Wood for sale. Hot water bath house as well. Site has picnic tables. Very clean area.

Small campground with full hookups, pet friendly, boat ramp. Beautiful trails. Nice playground and seating area facing the river.

Loved this primitive tent camping site. The sites are under the most beautiful live oaks and swimming in crystal clear spring water just steps away. Super pet friendly and clean bathhouse.

We enjoyed this campground (CG) as this was our 4th year coming back. There is plenty of signage and GPS takes you right to the CG. You turn left after the railroad tracks that will take you around the golf course, past the clubhouse, and to the check-in office. Do not go to the clubhouse to register, it is a small parking lot not suitable for RVs. After we checked in, we proceeded to buddy sites 60 and 60A. We easily backed into 60A and set up for our two-month stay. Madison had a rough 2023 with hurricane damage that was still being cleaned up when we arrived in mid-February. Our nightly rate is based on the monthly rate and golf package. We enjoyed golfing on their 9-hole course. WiFi is better than normal for this sized CG and we got two bars on Verizon. We had clear shots of the southern or northern sky for satellite and several OTA channels. On the back of the office are showers and a laundry room with 4 washers and 4 dryers. Firewood& propane were available and included propane pickup(set the tank at the end of your site) and firewood delivery if requested. The CG has a nice mix of back-in and pull-thru sites. Our buddy site was spacious, but we would rate the other sites as"nearby." They also have three cabins for rent. This CG is not a kids’ destination(big pro for us) as there is no playground nor much to do for the young ones. The CG is more adult-oriented with a pickleball court and activities such as group walks or special events like golf tournaments/leagues, karaoke, game nights, and potlucks. There is a large(about 2 acres) fenced dog park with a fenced-off area for small dogs. If you are allergic to train noise, a train track is adjacent to the CG. Trains run periodically normally during the day. Otherwise, this is a quiet park considering its size.
