Periwinkle Park
Best ( and only) campground on Sanibel Island
My family and I have stayed at this historic campground for over 50 years. It is a taste of old florida , with sandy streets and very few streetlights . Several wonderful bath houses and half a mile bike ride to the beach . Sanibel has many miles of bicycle paths ( class 1 only ). And many on the island bicycle . This is a wonderful campground .

Picayune Strand
Awesome offloading in sugar sand. Camping spot was remote and did run into a few equestrian friends. Saw lots of deer and owls. Primitive camping.

Very nice campground on Sanibel Island
Nice campground with very flat campsites made setting up our small trailer a breeze.
Very cost effective way to enjoy the island.
Sites were a bit snug but were plenty for us.
Bathrooms were probably the cleanest I've ever seen at a campground. They were cleaned daily and it showed.
Laundry facilities were very nice as well.
Periwinkle park is located fairly close to most anything you'd like to do on Sanibel. It was only a few minute bike ride down to the beach and to many other attractions.
Great place, would definitely stay again.

Koreshan State Park Campground
Nice place.
Grounds are nice, and staff are great. I’d suggest avoiding site 37 until it’s renovated. Big tree in the middle, and soft sugar sand is hard to level. Also, just know there are paths in the back where you want to keep eyes open. Saw rattlesnakes.

Basic Accomodations
The trees and shrubs appear burned out from controlled burn or brush fire. The dead branches are still there. Sites have stones and sand. Not alot of grass or tree coverage. The park offers hiking trails and close by access for launching kayaks. This park also has a walking tour of the Korshean Settlement which was interesting. Every time we have been here there has been a burn ban so no campfires allowed. Sites are small but will work for a tent or smaller camper. Ours is 32’ and it is really tight for the site. Staff is super friendly. Sites fill up quickly especially on the weekend.

Tight camp spaces.
Roads are narrow back by the campground site if you're in a big rig. Sites are also a little overgrown with shrubbery. The restrooms were clean. Some road noise. This campground has some history to it, which is pretty cool.
Teala S.GuideHorseshoe Primitive Campground in Picayune Strand State Forest
Lucky find
A perfect primitive spot with a great location. Kind campground host and spacious spots. It is very open and you will see a lot of your neighbors, but that isn’t too much of a worry as many folks are here for hunting. It’s quiet in the evenings and makes for a great sunset spot.
Guide to Fort Myers Beach
Camping areas near Fort Myers Beach sit at sea level among the coastal wetlands of southwest Florida. Winter temperatures average 65-75°F while summer brings temperatures in the 90s with high humidity and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. The region features a mixture of barrier islands, mangrove forests, and tidal waterways that create diverse camping conditions ranging from primitive island sites to full-service RV parks.
What to Do
Kayaking on the Estero River: Koreshan State Park offers direct river access for paddlers. "Amazing place. Clean Bathrooms. Big spots and the staff is very friendly. You can do kayaking, biking and hiking with kids. Very recommended," shares Juanita F. about Koreshan State Park Campground.
Wildlife observation: Cayo Costa State Park provides excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. "Wildlife abounds and birding is huge during winter migratory months. You are also likely to see the nesting pair of bald eagles, gopher tortoise, wood stork, eastern indigo snake, red cockaded woodpecker, osprey, red-shouldered hawk, kites, and a myriad of wading birds," notes a review from Horseshoe Primitive Campground.
Shelling expeditions: Collect unique shells along the island beaches. "The 9 miles of beach is great! Nice and shallow for a bit (on parts of the beach) but the shelling is awesome. Lots of different shells and sharks teeth from many varieties of sharks," reports Jeanene A. from Cayo Costa State Park.
What Campers Like
Private island experiences: Access to remote, less populated beaches creates a sense of privacy. "Want to avoid the crowds and have a heavenly beach camping experience? Cayo Costa is absolutely the best place for getting away from everything civilized," explains a camper from Cayo Costa State Park Campground.
Historic sites: Camping near historic attractions adds educational value. "This campground has some history to it, which is pretty cool," notes Eric R. about Koreshan State Park. Another visitor adds, "There are Historic buildings with interesting background and guided tours. Nature trails, kayaking, etc."
Budget-friendly island stays: Camping offers economical access to expensive island destinations. "Sanibel Island is a great vacation spot full of vacation homes, white sand beaches, and world-class shell hunting. This is the only campsite available on the entire island, and as a result it is a bit pricier than most camp sites, but it is far and away the most economical way to see the island," explains Megan K. from Periwinkle Park.
What You Should Know
Weather considerations: Summer months bring storms and insects. "From mid-May to mid-November, you are likely to experience some heavy downpours each afternoon," warns a camper at Horseshoe Primitive Campground.
Limited water access: Some sites require you bring all drinking water. "No potable water (bring all the water you need)," advises a reviewer about Horseshoe Primitive Campground. Another notes, "There is a water spigot here, but water is not potable, so bring your own."
