Camping near Gulf Islands National Seashore, FL

Small campground with limited sites. Sites are close together but waterfront sites have extended area behind the site. Weekends and holidays are busy. Be careful when backing into the site since the exterior sites have significant slope to the parking pad. Electric and water service is 10 feet beyond the pad. Clean bathrooms are a quick walk away. No Verizon cellular service. Family and pet friendly.

Good spot for free. Clean showers/ toilet building. Pavilions and grills by the river.

Nice family owned RV Park. Enjoy the great heated zero entry pool and sun deck. Park has concrete pads for your unit and paved roadways as well as new showers and bathrooms.

Easy to get to from the highway, clean, nice people. I did not use the restrooms or the laundry facilities. The view was nice!

Some reviews were not that good but the price was good. I thought the owners are very nice and helpful.

Previously reported GPS coordinates are wrong. Actual GPS is 30.257637651389555,-87.72625972906198. This is down a sandy dirt dirt road on John Wood Lane. The owner Danny was very friendly, but corrected a few errors in the property description. He does not own 54 acres. The actual area for camping is about an acre surrounding his home and active workshop area. There are no designated sites and no hook-up of any kind.  After an on-site review, we decided not to stay

This is a great park with lots of amenities including Pickle Ball, Pool, Restaurant, Trails, etc. Pretty busy with over 400+ sites but an older crowd. Very relaxing and well kept. I’ll be back

Stayed for a week and while not on the beach is quiet and close to the items we wanted to go to. Fishing from their bridge is permitted. Flat concrete spots with picnic tables. Laundry service. Full hookups. 20 min drive to the beach and had a blast. Ants were bad. And we were heavily warned about not letting kids be out unsupervised even to walk the dog.

Good facilities, including cable ( a rarity these days ). Had to drive our scooter 10 miles to town, beaches, lighthouse, or any historical sites or better restaurants. Staff friendly enough.

Nice enough staff. Only 21 sites, mostly seasonal and a bit clicky. Power and water went off several times in month we were there.

They were undergoing MAJOR renovations but didn't tell anyone until you got there. We booked month of January in October and they had already closed indoor pool but upon our arrival acted like it just happened. Half of park closed, I clouding bath house/ laundry in our area. Asked for a picnic table 4x in the month we were there and always told " maintenance has been informed" or "they're too busy". Gave up last week. ( almost everyone had one )

We were going to stay 3 nights, but after one night left. The noise from a nearby wood plant is unbearable.

A bit too crowded and noisy for me. Loud trucks and kids screaming. Bathrooms and showers are nice.

I like to book my places to camp the night of. Since I wasn't able to find any free camping. I called them. The staff picked up immediately and was able to book me a spot online. Full hookup cost six 50 bucks for the night. Campground had all the amenities and with spacious. Checkout is at 11:00.

A wonderful January camping trip ! It was about 45° but we stayed cozy by the fire pit . Our site was super close to the water , less than 100 yards! We had a picnic table too, perfect for meals outdoors. Can't wait to come back when it's warmer!

Single loop campground mostly RVs most of the site right next to the lake quiet, peaceful, amazing simple getaway. Half mile trail around the lake to the north campground on the other side of the lake. Both campgrounds are very similar.

This is an excellent RV site to stop. Its extremely clean, and well kept. We have visited numerous times, since my grandson lives near my, this has become our homebase in Pensicola.

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.

Large campground. Not near the beach. Seems to be decently maintained. Bathrooms were updated and clean. Campground not near the park restaurants . Would be a long walk to get to them. Decent hookups. Beware of the ants!!!!!! The whole campground is infested with stinging ants. There are ant piles all over the campsites. I was stung really bad after accidentally getting near an ant hill. They are really bad!!!! Almost had to go to the ER.

Beautiful view of the lake & spacious sites. Make sure you take supplies, groceries trip is 20-30 minutes

We were camping close by and did a drive thru just to see what it looked like. Smaller campgrounds with sites close together. It looks like it’d be a good option if looking for a spot in the area.

Pros: Great location Good fishing Smaller camp site Friendly happy nice campers Great fishing dock Sites are close to level

Negatives: Very expensive nightly rates Restrooms no soap for the four days we were there Restrooms in rough shape Crapped camping sites Bugs with (black flys) that bite are out of hand they draw blood

We did enjoy our stay and will return in a year. New owners are taking over by November 2024, hopefully they make the improvements that they say they’ll do.
