      Hammock Camping in Tent Camping

      Great spot! Cool shorter hiking trails to take you to lakes or the gulf, or as we call it Lake Florida now. For hammock campers the tent camping spots are okay for hammock camping. I made due but I was in spot 21 and there are no trees accessible enough to hang a hammock up how you would want, BUT they had a couple 4x4s in the ground so I used one of those and a tree, everything went up properly. It was windy, rainy and around 30° and I was extremely comfortable.

      Fire pits are great, it looks like all spots have a picnic table.

      All in all great spot. I’ll be back soon!

      Primitive CH off the beaten path

      CG is within the State Forest about 2 miles in, off US98, on Level 2 roads. Follow “Primitive camping area” signs to parking area, watching for route. Packin-pack out. Once at parking area, choose Eastern Lake Area 1 of 2.

      Well maintained gem along emerald coast

      Park and CG was not busy or dull considering our January visit. Unique lake dunes offered trails, beach access, and paddling/fishing. CG had good amenities: water, electric, hard pads, tables, showers/rr.

      Quiet and beautiful

      As always we were running late. We called ahead and after proof of reservation, a few friendly questions, we were given a gate code. Florida parks is always on top of it! Never though I would feel it necessary to comment” the most astounding gravel driveway” Clean shower houses, neat and tidy park, slept like a baby.

      Glad we Changed

      Had reservations for 2 nights at this location. Decided to go to the Florida Cavern State Park instead. Glad we changed. They are right next to a strip joint. Guess they left that out of the brochure on purpose.

      Nice RV park, Remote

      Great place. Has laundry, showers. Pool and table tennis in same room as laundry. Snack machine. Cabins. Unfortunately we arrived late and left early so we didn't get to use all the facilities. Wifi was pretty good.

      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!

      Fort Pickens Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

      Fort Pickens, the good, bad, and ugly

      Really nice place to camp for folks who enjoy access to an uncrowded beach. There's a 25$ entrance fee(one time fee for campers)at the gate coming into the Gulf Islands area so not many folks who just want to go to the beach. The sites aren't spectacular(not a lot of shade)but they do have the basics 30/50 Amp service at many sites (campground D is tent/popup specific). Clean bathhouses and well maintained grounds. This was our 1st time visiting in the middle of summer (who knew FL is hot and humid in July) we enjoyed the trip but in the future will make spring and fall for our target dates. Access to beautiful beaches and the sound are minutes away. Fees were 40$ a night at the time of our visit.

      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.

      Excellent Campground

      The campground is within walking to the beach with a beautiful walkway full of trees. The bathrooms are clean. The camp site has a picnic table and a fire ring. Some sites have electricity and RV hookup.

      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.

      Decent Campground

      Overall the campground is great. The only downside is that you cannot drive to the beach. You have to walk or bike the 2-mile round trip or wait on a handful of tram rides. The main sites are a little close, so there isn't as much isolation. The pool was nice, but was crowded frequently.

      Great State Park

      We had some rain but wasn't a big deal. The site we had was superb as had plenty of elbow room and with all the trees and bushes, could not even see the camper next to us. Great location if you want to drive into Pensacola. Was nice walk to the river with all the sandbars.

      On the brink of summer

      This was our first visit to Topsail. We rented bicycles and enjoyed the paved paths and private beach over the dunes. Unfortunately the water was closed due to rip tides but we enjoyed lounging in the sun. I do wish the store on site had a larger selection and took Apple pay. All in all a wonderful experience.

      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.
