Best Campgrounds near Ebro, FL

551 Reviews

Camping areas around Ebro, Florida feature a mix of state park campgrounds and forest service sites within a short drive of pristine Gulf Coast beaches. Pine Log State Forest offers primitive campsites at Sand Pond Campground and Hagar Landing, while nearby state parks like Grayton Beach, St. Andrews, and Topsail Hill Preserve provide more developed facilities. The region includes options for tent camping, RV sites with full hookups, and cabin rentals, with most campgrounds situated within 30-45 minutes of Ebro in neighboring beach communities.

Road conditions vary throughout the area, with some forest service roads requiring higher clearance vehicles, especially after rain. A visitor noted, "I would not chance the forest roads in a sedan. You might be okay if it stays dry but if it rains you will not be in good shape." Summer months bring hot, humid conditions to the Florida Panhandle, while fall through spring offers more moderate temperatures ideal for camping. Most developed campgrounds in the region require reservations, which can be extremely competitive for beach-adjacent state parks. Florida State Parks allow booking 11 months in advance, and popular locations like Grayton Beach and Topsail Hill often fill completely during peak seasons.

Waterfront camping receives consistently high ratings from visitors, with several campgrounds offering access to both freshwater lakes and Gulf beaches. The coastal dune lakes found in several state parks represent a globally rare ecosystem occurring in only a handful of places worldwide. Campers frequently mention the contrast between the developed amenities at state park campgrounds and the more rustic experience at forest service sites. A recent review highlighted this unique feature: "Topsail is certainly one of our favorites. Excellent access to the beach, hiking, biking (many miles), lakes, great campground." Many campgrounds provide convenient beach access via walking trails or tram services, allowing campers to enjoy the region's signature sugar-white sand beaches and emerald waters while maintaining a natural camping experience away from developed resort areas.

    Fort Walton Beach RV Park

    great stay!

    such a great spot! The park is clean (i think new), well taken care of, and close to everything .... beaches, restaurants, and stores (but still at a great rate). The sites were easy to pull into (thank goodness, sometimes that is a challenge) and had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and hospitable. It’s a nice, quiet place to relax... park is safe feeling. Good stay overall, would come back

    Falling Waters State Park Campground

    Nice Quiet Stay

    Falling 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.

    Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Campground

    Exploration Trip

    We 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.

    Florida Caverns RV Resort

    Nice Stay

    We 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.
