    Sand Pond Campground - Pine Log State Forest

    So peaceful

    We just stayed here for the weekend with our two kids and dog and it was so nice. We had a site right in front of the pond and it was not a long walk to the bathroom/shower area. Showers could have been a bit cleaner, but overall it was a nice stay. Wish they kayak rentals for the ponds. But it was still nice and quiet!

    It has it all - for a price

    It’s perfection. Beautiful beach, TWO pools, water slide, shop, activity center, pristine bathrooms and an awesome vibe. You can’t help but have fun here. And it comes at a price. $200/night in the off season.

    Nice KOA Near Beaches

    Nice campground, gravel site with small pad with picnic table and fire ring. FHU, and plenty of activities and amenities for our granddaughter. Playground, mini golf, large outdoor Connect Four game. Nice dog park, camp store and pool, but too cold to swim. Didn’t use facilities, but looked clean. Tents and cabins in backside of the park. I would reserve there if possible some interstate noise upfront. Staff friendly and took us to our site. Love the bike trails nearby.

    Small, Alabama State Park, in Opp

    Arrived at guard gate and was welcomed by friendly staff. Quiet campground with waterfront site 8. Plenty of space between sites. FHU, level gravel, waterfront site with picnic table, fire ring, and grill. Felt safe, and across the street from bathrooms/laundry. Dated but clean. Woman’s bathroom with showers & bathroom stalls. 2 washers & dryers, as well as a folding table. No dog park, but plenty of nature, paved roads for walking, as well as easy to find, marked trails. 10 minutes to town, with restaurants and a few stores to pick up groceries & necessities. Playground is on the other side of the trails, as well as the boat ramp. Lots of wildlife. Would stay here again!

    Frank Jackson State Park

    Another great state park

    This is an older state park. We had a nice site that backed up to the lake. Only negatives were: the trash bin could have been closer (the exercise though was worth it) and the 'acorns' from the trees made for some loud bangs on the roof. Some nice trails for hiking.

    We were in site 22 and next trip would like to try and get 2, 5 or 15

    Park located in Opp, AL which was named for attorney Opp who brought the train hub to the town

    Nice Place but Pricey

    We had great but tight camping just 10 steps from the beautiful sandy beach. Lots of great and clean amenities. Very nice people running the campground and very nice people around us. The beach is beautiful.

    Did an overnight pit stop only. Conveniently located of the freeway, yet quiet. Fenced in dog yard. The staff is super helpful and friendly!

    Great campground

    Yet another great Florida State campground!  Florida does it right when it comes to campgrounds, and Grayton is no exception.  The beach is beautiful, fairly secluded and easily accessible.  If you know where to look, (just north of the campground), there is access to a wide range of bike (mountain bike or e-bike) trails.  Grab a fish taco right outside the park.  Park itself is quiet and peaceful.

    Nice and clean

    It was a nice stay in a 2 bedroom. Cabin, they were running a promotion. The maintenance people were great to work with on any issues and needs.

    Great overnight stay!

    While traveling from TX to Tallahassee, we wanted our 2nd nite to be more enjoyable than staying at a Rest Area. Booked last minute at this KOA and checked in after hours. All went smoothly!

    Southern Hospitality at its Best!

    Staff: once again the entire staff is a living definition of southern hospitality. The moment you step on the property you are greeted with staff that actually want to be there, everyone from office, store, clubhouse and maintenance. They do an amazing job at setting a welcoming and accommodating atmosphere for all patrons. 5 STARS! Accommodations: Grounds: well maintained and clean; Pool Area: Clean and pool is HEATED. Cabins: clean and have a pinterest beach vibe! Pet Area: clean, double gated, lighted with bench poo bags supplied! Pet friendly. Pier and beach area very clean with swings and super comfortable lounge chairs to soak up all the sun and breeze. Pier is great for fishing and benches along the pier provide a great way to view sunrise and sunset. Club house: during our stay they hosted an amazing THANKSGIVING dinner and a paint night; also features a large screen tv and seating areas for those occasional rainy days. On the weekends they have breakfast on the grill, best breakfast I've had in a long time(shout out to the cook and staff:) Playground area is lighted with a box of sand toys and various other toys to keep the kidos busy. Atmosphere: There is NO OTHER campground in the area that beats the atmosphere at this campground. The staff and the care they take to make sure everyone's experience is the best is hands down the best in this area. I honestly can't think of one thing that would have made our stay more enjoyable. This is the second time I've stayed here.

    Clean, nice views, private and luxury, ssites too close

    Nice place on the lake, well maintained. We wanted to do laundry and try new kind of a campground. Overall positive, but expensive. Sites are really near each other, no privacy. Probably ok for one time. Will go back to the more simple campgrounds. Had Wi-Fi, slow 1-2mgb/s . Att reception is fast.

    Camp out Alabama

    Lost Reservation: Cost me 400.00 in Gas/18 Hours' Drive Time/Vacation Day

    POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE:  I made reservations back in August of 2022 for the July 4th, 2023, weekend (11 Months in advance). On my day of arrival, June 29th, I pull into the campground to check in and come to find out, the owner, Matt Fox, had lost my reservation. Matt works from home outside of Chicago. My card had been fully charged for the full stay 11 months prior. I traveled with my truck and 33-foot bumper pull camper for approx. 450 miles to be told I have no camp site. This is a unique campground. I had no other options. Instead of them realizing their mistake and assigning me a site and then making calls to cancel a reservation that was made after mine, they simply turned me away. The onsite managers tried to figure something out by trying to fit a square into a round hole. LOL. Meaning force my 33-foot camper attached to my 4-door truck around a 90 degree turn to then hit the overhang of an adjacent camp site roof over and over an eroded trail. There was no way it would fit is my point. That made me question their knowledge of the camping world. The owners operate off site near Chicago. They micromanage the reservations and local managers have no control over it. This business model is a joke. And this is a clear example of how it does not work. And from what I heard; matt makes mistakes all the time on reservations. They don't keep good records, or they would have never lost my paid in full reservation. This cost me the customer and they don't care. So here I sit, 450 miles from home with the cost to get there, pissed off and agitated knowing that I have an 8-hour drive back home because I have no other options. And a Holiday Weekend! They said they would give me a full refund and I had to ask for 100.00 for gas assistance. But they gave me no confirmation number of the refund. That had to come from Matt! The total trip was around 18 hours and approximately 900 miles which cost me around$400.00 in gas plus a lost vacation day from work. The drive home was very frustrating. I could not believe the way I had been treated. I honestly was in disbelief. It was the owner's fault and not the camp host/managers as the owners in Chicago run the show. And not a very good job at it from my experience. I sent the owners a text and picture of my odometer showing the average mpg and how many miles traveled and the time and ask for a$900 reimbursement. But they refused. How would you feel if you drove that many miles and for that length of time and spent that amount of money for nothing? They do not know what customer service all is about. They got their camp full for the July 4th weekend with over booking so I did not matter. I was nothing to them. They even required full payment up front. They are just looking out for themselves and are struggling apparently. Please, for those reading this, stay away. Its not worth what I went through to walk around naked and have man on man sex in the woods. This place disgusts me from a customer service standpoint.

    Old and run down. The staff are lazy

    As far as the campground goes, the ground is nice and even with fire pits and trees. But the bathrooms and showers are dirty and gross. The staff is lazy and rude. The grounds are rundown. The slides look dirty and unsafe. Over it was over priced for the experience offered.

    Basic campground

    A basic, safe campground.  The staff was very, very friendly, which is a plus. Nice touches of art around the space.

    From our perspective, perhaps not worth what they were charging on the day we stayed-- in the $80 range. Lots of road noise off of the 10, because of the trucks passing through, which made it hard to sleep.

    Next door, there were some friendly goats.

    Sand Pond Campground - Pine Log State Forest

    Far yet close

    Far yet close…that’s the first thing that comes to mind. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the beach areas but close enough to enjoy them just the same. Do yourself a favor and give this place a try if you are in the Panama City beach/bay county/Walton county area. Quiet, serene, easy to get to if you don’t mind dirt roads that are amazingly maintained for a state forest campground! Site 10 was fabulous and all sites have 50/30 amp hookup and water. Dump station nearby and a hood bathhouse area with showers. You have a pond with a fishing dock and a camp host in site 1. I can’t say enough good things about this little gem just 15 miles north of PCB. Off hwy 79 it’s a short drive off interstate 10 exit 112. My wife, 12 yr old and mini Aussie are having a blast, so much so maybe I need to just keep this a secret??!!! Haha happy camping!

    NOT SO Grayton beach state park

    What started off with high hopes and lots of excitement from my daughter wife and myself ended with unneeded discussions and opinions being given by staff and rude volunteers. First the volunteers are all just sorta unhappy I guess you’d say, yes they get free stays because they volunteer but it seems like that volunteering is an annoyance and burden on them and they let you know it as guest. They accused us of leaving cigarettes everywhere at one site even engaging a ranger to vent their frustration too until we laughed and say at 44yrs of age neither of us have ever had a cigarette in our mouths.. then came accusations of beer bottles.. wrong again my friend we don’t drink alcohol either lol…then the rangers taking issue with my daughters service animal. With one ranger telling us it’s ok we will be allowed in the beach etc(note we don’t need his permission nor interaction with him. Ada law allows her and that dog anywhere with few exceptions that humans are allowed and the ranger says to us “you need to also understand other people’s perceptions and questions they might have about your dog” lmao no sir again I don’t have to concern myself with anyone else’s opinions views or issues as that dog is by ADA law (federal) viewed as a medical device no different than a wheelchair etc. after being proposed the question “is it because my daughter doesn’t look disabled? What does disabled look like? Would you treat someone in a wheelchair the same?” He was left bewildered. As he even noted he is allowed to ask 2 and only 2 questions.. is it a service dog? And what task does it perform. U can’t ask for a demo, what her disabilities are etc those are all violations of my privacy and against Ada rules. That’s when he proclaimed that we need to see it from everyone else’s point of view. Needless to say we were glad that stay was over and after calling customer service that also got us no where. My daughter was excluded from the junior ranger program because of her dog so missed out on that and was disappointed, but topsail state park to the rescue!! Id avoid unless your old, cantankerous and angry with life.. if that describes you then you will fit right in with the volunteers

    Awesome MWR

    The location is awesome. There is laundry and showers on site. The campground is mixed with some hotel and villa accommodations as well. The pool and splash pad are perfect for kids. The staff was friend and helpful. The area is clean.

    I would say they could use some refreshing of the amenities but overall they are still clean and operational.

    Nice military campground

    Nice people. Lots of trees and large spots. It’s also a short walk to the water. Close to several towns including Ft Walton Beach. We are currently at the Family camp and will bounce between the two campgrounds on base

    Grayton Beach State Park

    Wonderful!

    Wonderful campground! Beautiful beaches. Large sites. Some gravel, some concrete. Most look very level. Older section has more mature trees and vegetation which translates to a little more shade a privacy for now but the sites are all spaced apart with privacy in mind. Some sites are in the water but ours was not. I honestly do not think there is a bad site in the entire campground. Cell service for AT&T was great. Very close to the areas of Grayton Beach, WaterColor, and Seaside (the idyllic town where the movie the Truman Show was filmed). Many great restaurants options very close. Front gate of the park closes at 7:15 so make sure you take the gate code. Bathhouse has great water pressure which is a big deal at some state parks.
