Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Crawfordville, FL

Pope Still Hunt Camp provides rustic tent camping sites for pet owners exploring the Crawfordville area. The campground accommodates dogs with basic facilities that include portable toilets, though campers should note there are no electricity hookups, water, or sanitary dump stations available. Ochlockonee River State Park Campground and Myron B. Hodge City Park also welcome pets with water and electric hookups at most sites, plus picnic tables and fire rings. Sites at Myron B. Hodge are first-come, first-served for $20 per night, with some spots offering riverfront locations and bench swings. Campground bathrooms remain clean with hot showers accessible via a passcode given only to registered campers. The last two miles of entry road to Pope Still Hunt Camp is unpaved, and the area accommodates approximately 10-15 campers with generally quiet surroundings.

The park offers canoe and kayak rentals for nominal fees, allowing pets and owners to enjoy water activities together. Myron B. Hodge City Park provides a walking pier for fishing with pets alongside, though swimming with dogs is not recommended due to potential alligator habitats. The security gate closes at night, creating a secure environment for overnight campers with pets.

Campers should bring sufficient supplies as the nearest provisions are approximately 30 minutes away from most campgrounds in the area, with limited services in Sopchoppy, which has a population of only 500.

    Perry KOA

    Another hurricane victim

    Another KOA on our trip to circumnavigate Florida. Another KOA recovering from hurricane damage. But, they do have some things open: the rv sites are open, the dog park (a nice large dog park), the hot tub. They have propane and a limited store. There are also tent sites and cabins. Lots of large live oaks with Spanish moss survived the storm as well. It is about an hour from the Suwannee River State Park where you can see Manatees in the clear waters of the spring.

    Coastline RV Resort & Campground

    Glorious View and Location!

    We had a wonderful stay. The place was very clean. The staff at the office were cheerful and very pleasant. The dog park area in back had good grass and was clear of poop and such.

    The view. Wow! Just wonderful. This is my new favorite place to stay along the Florida Panhandle coastline.

    Flat Creek Family Campground

    Great Overnight Spot~close to Quincy & Torrey State Park

    Visiting friends in Quincy, easy to reserve a last minute site. Pull through with FHU. Under $50 with our GS discount. Excellent Dog park(huge and clean with lots of grass and seating) Pool was behind our site, clean but didn’t use. Our 40” fifth wheel barely fit. The front sites, and back of the park were the best sites. Staff was friendly, and nice general store. Facilities were clean, but we didn’t use. Close to town I-10. Had fair connection with T-Mobile.

    Carrabelle Beach RV Resort

    Relaxing on the beach

    Nice campground. Helpful staff at check-in. It has a nice pool and is on the beach. Access is across Route 98, but the traffic was minimal. There is some road noise at site#39, but it is not bad. Level site, full hooks, cable TV, and good internet speeds. Getting the RV positioned was a little tricky. While the site is long enough, the sewer connection is closer to the front of the site, so we could not park at the back. We had to be positioned to reach the sewer connection and work our rear slide around a large palm tree. Site 39 backs up to the pool and park office. At busier times, there may be a lot of people traffic, but not during our stay. Also note that there are no firepit or grills provided at the site. You must have your own grill. We enjoyed our five-night stay here. IGA grocery store in Carrabelle is the closest. Fathom’s Steam Room and Raw Bar is an old Florida open-air restaurant and bar with live music. There is a small dog park in the resort. Lots to explore in the area: Carrabelle, Eastpoint, St George Island, Lighthouse, and State Park, Tate’s Hell State Forest, Crooked River Lighthouse, or just relaxing by the pool or on the beach.

    Perry KOA

    Love this bright cherry KOA!

    I love KOA because they are consistent… And I have a membership that gives me a bit of a discount. I find they are a good value as a rule. This one was really a surprise for the area which did not look that special but the KOA was so bright and cheery and wonderful. We’ve enjoyed it. They had great pull through a dog park lots of amenities and a super great park.

    Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park Campground

    Very Nice and Secluded

    Very nice and quiet camp site. Each site is very private, and the camp is very secluded. After entering the park, it's a four mile drive. The closest large town is about one hundred miles away.

    The beach is walking distance, but no pets are allowed on the State Park Beaches, but pets are allowed on the public beaches outside the park.

    There's not much shade for tent campers.

    This camp ground is hard to get into, so it's best to book early.

    Lastly, although the camp ground have electric outlets at each site, 20, 30, and 50 amps, the closest high speed EV charger is 56 miles away in Mexico Beach, about one and a half hours drive.

    Ochlockonee River State Park Campground

    Beautiful, peaceful

    We LOVED this campground. It’s now one of our favorites in Florida. Campground is lovely, with live oak trees providing ample shade and privacy. Trail network connects directly to the campground so you can just walk right out onto the trails. River is serene with lots of tiny beaches along it. Trails go along river and through pine tree forest with prairie grasses. Rangers encourage campers to limit outdoor lights at night and the stars are amazing. Our site was tricky to back into but beautiful once we got in. Avoid site 11 - not much space or privacy. Others all looked great. Yummy BBQ restaurant (Hamahockers) nearby in Crawfordville along with groceries etc. Beautiful, remote campground in nature. Love it! We will return!

    Tallahassee East Campground

    Do not bother unless emergency

    Very run down campgrounds that used to be a KOA and now a Good Sams campground. Not maintained very much even though the few staff tried to clean it a bit. Weeds, not mowed, peeling ceilings in dated bath house with exterior doors that do not close or have keyed entry. Only trash can was in laundry room which was at least open 24 hours but many machines out of order. WiFi only during business hours. Friend stayed in minimal cabin and was dim missing bulbs and smoke detector. They even charge a pet fee to clean cabin after pets.


Guide to Crawfordville

Camping near Crawfordville, Florida offers primitive to full-hookup options within a 30-minute drive radius. The area sits on the forgotten coast of Florida's panhandle with elevations under 20 feet and experiences mild winters with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F. Several campgrounds in this region charge between $20-35 per night for basic sites with varying levels of amenities.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: The fishing pier at Holiday Campground gives anglers direct water access with a cleaning station for your catch. "There is a fishing pier and small beach. The bath house is sparkling clean and the pool is great!" notes Kim M., who found the waterfront sites ideal for watching sunsets.

Wildlife viewing: Fort Braden trails connect to Coe Landing Campground, providing excellent opportunities to spot local fauna. Kathy L. explains, "Great hiking with huge trail network at Fort Braden on adjacent property but the bummer is that there was way to connect to them from campground due to swamp and geography. As a result, had to drive about 3 miles to trailheads to walk my pups."

Kayaking and boating: Multiple launch points exist throughout the area, with High Bluff Campground offering direct lake access. "The lake is pretty from the fishing pier and boat launch," comments J V., who visited on a weeknight and found the campground peaceful when few people were there.

What campers like

Quiet atmosphere: Many campgrounds in the area provide a secluded experience, especially weekdays. At Ed and Bernices Fish Camp and RV Park, Cristina P. found "a great relaxing place to watch the river float past. Great cell signal and friendly four legged friends came to great us and our pups."

Waterfront sites: Direct water access ranks highly among campers in the Crawfordville region. "We had a waterfront site. The back of our site has lots of and trees to the bay beach. All the hookups were newer," writes Teresa S. about Holiday Campground, though noting that "sites were tight, but with the canopy and slide out it fit exactly."

Budget-friendly options: Dog friendly campgrounds near Crawfordville often cost less than other Florida destinations. Lisa S. noted about Myron B. Hodge City Park, "I had a Sopchoppy River front site w/ water & electric, picnic table & fire ring, bench swing. Sites are first come, first served. $20 per night."

What you should know

Limited amenities: Most campgrounds near Crawfordville have basic facilities. About Pope Still Hunt Camp, Cheryl K. reports, "The last 2 miles of the entry road is unpaved. There are 2 areas next to each other for dispersed camping. About 10-15 campers total when we were there. Some people look like they live there (chain link fences). Quiet. Port-a-potty but didn't use it."

Weather considerations: Summer heat brings insects, requiring preparation. Tucker B. notes about High Bluff Campground, "Reminded me of campsites in my western mountains and was nice to camp on a soft bed of leaves and pine needles." However, others mention mosquitoes as an issue during warmer months.

Road access: Several campgrounds require navigation on unpaved roads. Zachary J. describes Myron B. Hodge City Park as "Kinda in the middle of nowhere, but that's great if that's what you're looking for. Provisions are a half hour drive."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Dog-friendly camping options with play structures exist for families with both kids and pets. Kelly E. found Myron B. Hodge City Park offered "A beautiful little park with a nice children's playground. Boardwalk, trail, clean bathrooms, secure showers with passcode given to campers only."

Swimming considerations: Natural water bodies may not be ideal for children. Marvin E. advises about Myron B. Hodge City Park, "Wouldn't recommend swimming here. We have not seen any gators here but it is prime habitat for them and well within their territory."

Cell service: Connectivity varies by campground. Sheryl R. reports from Myron B. Hodge City Park, "Verizon 2 bars, Starlink 20 to 114 Mpbs with cloudy skies, which allows me to get my work done." This information helps families plan for connectivity needs while camping.

Tips from RVers

Site sizing: Many campgrounds have limited space for large rigs. At Tallahassee RV Park, Jody J. notes "Sites are VERY small… really great for parking but not socializing. With little outdoor space between RV's, most folks just keep to themselves. No fires and no outdoor grills."

Leveling requirements: Terrain at some campgrounds requires preparation. Alycia P. observed at High Bluff Campground, "4 stars for no water or electric hookups... Typically empty. We stayed a whole week and afew people came in and out to fish and tent camp."

Utility connections: Water access points may require planning. Angela M. cautioned about Ed and Bernices Fish Camp, "Yes, there is 50 amps, water and sewer, but the water spigot is 25 feet from the coach and the turn-on switch is an inch underground so Deborah had to dig it out for us."
