    Milton-Gulf Pines KOA

    First Stay in New Trailer

    Very friendly staff in this KOA campground about 30 minutes from Navarre Beach. Nice large pool and clean bathhouses. Entire campground was very clean and kept up well. Sites are pretty close together and some of the amenities like the mini golf course need to be updated. I would also suggest that, being a KOA affiliated camp, there should be more organized activities for the kids. When we stayed, I was told that many of the campers were military waiting on base housing to open so not as many kids as normal and we were in the second stage of reopening after the virus so that may have been a part of the lack of activities. Close enough to Milton and Pace to allow for some extra activities, though. Overall, it was a good place for us to try out our new camper and we had a good week.

    Emerald Beach RV Park

    Safe, amazing amenities, and well manicured

    Right on the water. Great facilities: a pier, dog parks, lounge chairs in the sand, outdoor eating areas, friendly staff, easy check in, and lots of pull through slots! Seems great for families, and as a solo female traveler I felt very safe. The pool is very nice, clean with lots of chairs and is open until 10pm. Navarre Beach is right across the bay.

    The Hideaway Retreat

    A nice little hideaway

    This campground on Route 98 just east of Navarre Beach was renamed to The Hideaway Camping Retreat with new owners about 8 months ago. It was obvious that Jeanie the owner takes pride in the campground as she showed me around. Numerous improvements have already been made and there are more plans for the future. One planned improvement is to build decks on the four premium waterfront sites (#37, 45, 46, and 47). 

    The bathhouse is very clean and nicely decorated, unique to campgrounds I have seen. There are a community fire pit, hammocks and a small beach that allows pets. Also a very nice laundry room– I wouldn’t mind doing my laundry there! 

    What sets this campground apart is the numerous trees on the property. I visited on a cool, cloudy day in February, but I imagine the shade from the trees would be very welcome in the summer. Also, unlike many other RV parks, the sites are not lined up in a row like dominoes. Some sites have more separation than others.

    Rates, while a bit pricey, are not out of line for Florida RV parks. Rates are based on the type of site and season and range from $45 for a tent site in fall/winter to $125 for a premium waterfront site on a holiday for spring/summer (March 1-September 15). 

    Note that it could be challenging to find as the traffic can be fierce on 98 and the sign is small but I guess that’s what makes it a hideaway!

    Navarre Beach Camping Resort

    Quiet and well-maintained campground

    The campground is technically not in a traditional beach such as Miramar or Clearwater; rather, it’s a small bay front area with a small man-made beach area adjacent a pier out into the bay. The campground is well-maintained except for the ant mounds around all the sites. The water in the bay is clear with a dark sandy bottom. The campsites are very close together and limited parking area for vehicles. Even with the crowded sites, the park is nice and quiet and a short drive west to the main Navarre Beach.

    Fort Pickens Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

    Good but not very private

    We went tent camping for two nights with our pups at Fort Pickens and we really did enjoy it. The campground was nice and clean. They had nice showers and potties as well. The showers in the RV section have better shower heads btw. The beaches are gorgeous! A tip for travelers with pets, FL does not allow dogs on their beaches accept in specific "dog park" locations. Our dogs are not.. eh, normal .. so we ended up driving down to a private beach so they could enjoy the ocean. There is a lot of night life but We decided to skip that this trip. We enjoyed the beaches in the park at night and i highly recommend it! All in all we enjoyed our trip but we probably won't be back to Fort Pickens campground. The sites are very close together and we had a very nosey and drunk neighbor who really wanted to chat. We camp to get away from people, just saying. We were also bothered by RV and truck lights shining directly into our tent both nights from people driving through the campground. Not the best but we enjoyed camping at the beach.

    Navarre Beach Camping Resort

    Convenient and Clean

    We have stayed at this camping resort 3 years in a row. The bathrooms were always well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. They took pride in maintaining a clean and quiet campground. Unfortunately campers used the sand down by the Sound as an ash tray when there were places to put their smelly cigarettes out right there. And the staff could not keep up with the many families that often chose to let their young children in the hot tub even though there was a sign. We will return to enjoy Navarre Beach and all the great natural attractions

    Santa Rosa RV Resort

    A true resort

    This place is immaculate. The grounds, the sites, the pool, the property, the staff. Everything is top notch and well kept. We stayed waterfront but all the sites are so nice. Also, very close to everything (grocery, restaurants, Navarre Beach and the Pier)

    A few notes: The traffic on the road the resort sits on is awful so plan ahead. Also, it's near a huge air force base which does large ammunition testing late at night. A couple nights, our camper shook. Not the resorts' fault obviously, but just know in advance if you hear loud noises, that's what it is. The pool is heated but they don't open it if it's not at least 55 degrees by 10am. Lastly, they are no longer a good sam park so no discount available.

    Will definitely be back. We loved it!
