"The parking spots are pristine, the showers clean, the tiki bar on the sound beach was incredible, with lots of chairs & bean bags to laze around in..."

from $70 - $100 / night
"Dog friendly park that is away from the major city hubs, nothing but the beach is walkable. Our site was level with a grill, fire pit, picnic table and a wooden deck."
"We had an issue with the electrical that we couldn’t figure out, but one of the campground workers was very nice and tried to help us figure out the issue. We loved walking to the waterfront."
"this is an RV park and is quiet and accommodating, the WiFi works well, had laundry facilities and mailbox to have your mail sent to , cannot complain"

"We paid for the private deck overlooking the water and would do it again in a heartbeat."
"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!"
GuideThe park has a great atmosphere. The sites may be close, but no one invades another persons site and most of the people that live here work. Because it doesn’t offer much in the way of all the bells and whistles, most people would avoid it, which suits me just fine!
TravelerWe paid for the private deck overlooking the water and would do it again in a heartbeat. We didn't have to travel far and we're used to Gulf Coast views, but we couldn't be happier with our choice of campgrounds. Premium spots are a little tight if your neighbors have slides, but the deck makes up for it.
ScoutWell-maintained small RV park with 6 sites. We were all alone so we were able to get the only site with full shade all day. Pay in drop box by the mailboxes. First come first served.
ScoutMy family has been coming for 14 years and my kids grew up fishing crabing and swim
ScoutI rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was incredibly disappointing. I reserved a specific campsite many months in advance for my birthday. Before arriving, I even received an email confirming that exact site. When I checked in, I was told they had given my reserved site to someone else and moved me to a different spot. The whole reason I booked so far in advance was to secure that particular location, so this completely defeated the purpose of planning ahead. What made the situation even worse was how it was handled. The manager never apologized or acknowledged the mistake. Instead, I was met with an attitude that made it seem like my frustration wasn’t justified. A sincere apology and some accountability would have gone a long way. To“make it right,” they offered a 20% discount, which honestly felt insulting given that they failed to honor a confirmed reservation on a special occasion. It wasn’t about the money—it was about keeping their commitment and treating customers with respect when they make a mistake. Unfortunately, what should have been a memorable birthday started with disappointment because of the park’s poor reservation management and lack of customer service. I hope they improve their processes and, more importantly, learn how to take responsibility when they let their guests down.
ScoutGreat campground, quick walk to the quiet beach, good bathrooms and laundry facilities
GuideWe have stayed at Gulf State Park several times. This is a busy campground with full amenities. It has level paved sites. There are some primitive sites with a little more privacy for tent camping. Its a bit expensive but has full hookups, a pool, laundromat, boat launch, nature center and tons of walking trails. Several sites are near the lakes and creeks. This is NOT on the beach but your pass gets you free parking at the Gulf State Park beach and the Pier which are both minutes from the campground.
TravelerWe recently stayed at Splash RV Resort at site 83 and had a great experience overall. Our site was excellent, featuring a decent little yard, and it was almost perfectly level—only about a half-inch off from left to right across the width of our camper. There was also plenty of room to park our F-450 right in front. The resort's location is perfect for day trips to the nearby beaches, and the roads inside the park are great with very easy access from the highway. (Note: There isn't much shopping nearby besides a Dollar General, so come prepared!) The facilities here are absolutely amazing. The bathhouses and laundry rooms are honestly resort-quality. We also ordered the cinnamon rolls a day in advance, and they were incredible. The resort app works flawlessly—we used it to request a propane refill, a fire pit, and firewood, and the service was incredibly fast every time. Almost all of the employees were super awesome and friendly. The only negative interaction we had was with the older lady working at the camp store. She constantly hounded us multiple times about not wearing our wristbands. Given that the resort has a gate code, gated security, and guest lists, the aggressive monitoring felt like overkill—especially since I personally cannot sleep with things on my wrists. To make this place a true 10/10, I have a few suggestions for management: 1 The Pizza: While the other poolside food was surprisingly good, the pizza was a letdown. It was a typical frozen, "waterpark-style" reheated pizza that cost $20. For that price point, the resort should definitely choose a higher-quality option. 2 Pool Sun Shades: Currently, the sun shades are over the shallow section of the adults-only pool. These really should be moved over the children’s section (at least on one side). Kids are much more sensitive to the sun and it’s always a struggle to get them out of the water to reapply sunscreen. 3 The Fitness Center: It was pretty pathetic and could definitely use a functional trainer or better equipment to match the quality of the rest of the resort. Overall, it’s a beautiful place to stay with top-tier amenities, and we would definitely come back!
TravelerWonderful quiet spot, great for tent camping, a lot of shade!
Cabin camping facilities near Pace, Florida center around the Santa Rosa County area with elevations averaging just 13 feet above sea level, creating camping conditions with relatively flat terrain and easy access. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with hot summers where temperatures frequently reach the 90s and mild winters with lows rarely dropping below 40°F. Several waterways including Escambia Bay and Yellow River provide water recreation options for cabin campers.
Kayaking and fishing access: Fort Pickens Campground offers shallow waters in the bay that are great for surf fishing and kayaking. "The shallow waters in the bay are great for surf fishing and kayaking and there are many access points," notes a visitor. The campground sits on a peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and Pensacola Bay.
Beach activities: At Emerald Beach RV Park, visitors can enjoy a private beach area. "We could play on the campground beach located on the sound or drive about 5 minutes to the gulf front beach," shares one camper. The park includes a private pier for fishing and beach access right on site.
Historic exploration: The area provides opportunities to explore military history. "Great views sunsets, dolphins turtles shells! The Osprey are everywhere," reports a camper at Fort Pickens, where visitors can explore the old fort buildings. Another reviewer mentioned, "We were able to use our senior national park pass to get in for free and a discount on our site."
Water park amenities: Splash RV Resort & Waterpark gets high marks for its recreational facilities. "The heated pool was a hit with the kids," shares one visitor. Another mentions, "Fun for the whole family. Entertainment, pools, water slides and a lazy river."
Hiking trails and nature: Gulf State Park Campground offers extensive trail networks. "Very relaxing and well kept. Pretty busy with over 400+ sites but an older crowd," notes a camper. Another visitor highlights, "There are also great biking trails. Keep your eyes peeled for wonderful birds and alligators!"
Clean facilities: Many cabin campers appreciate well-maintained amenities. "The bathrooms were separate from the showers and what you might expect for a beach, the water was nice and hot," reports a Fort Pickens visitor. Another camper at Emerald Beach RV Park noted, "Friendly staff and super clean shower houses."
Reservation requirements: Some campgrounds require advance booking through specific systems. For Mystic Springs Recreation Area, "Reservations are site type, not site specific, but after talking with the staff they said they'd try to accommodate site requests the best they could when making reservation."
Site spacing varies: Campground layouts differ significantly across the area. "Spacing between sites is great compared to other RV parks," notes a visitor at Splash RV Resort. However, at Emerald Beach RV Park, one camper reported, "Very tight spaces! Barely parking for one vehicle."
Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts the camping experience year-round. "A wonderful January camping trip! It was about 45° but we stayed cozy by the fire pit," shares a Mystic Springs visitor. During summer, one camper warned about Fort Pickens: "Campground is HOT! Very few trees! Bring your own shade."
Water activities planning: Schedule pool time strategically. "The pools, lazy river and water slides were open," reports a visitor at Splash RV Resort. Another noted, "The armband so the kids were able to purchase food, drinks, game tokens for the arcade, which was great on the day that it rained."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Milton-Gulf Pines KOA offers family-friendly amenities. "Great little putt putt area for kids. Spots are good sized, although we had a premium spot for the patio & grill," shares one visitor. Another family noted, "We had a lot of fun playing putt putt and swimming in the pool."
Beach access timing: Morning beach visits often provide the best experience. "I left the flashlight in the direct sun for a couple of hours and it had ample charge when I used it later that night," shares a Fort Pickens camper, highlighting the strong daytime sun. Another visitor recommended early activities: "Saw some dolphins in the early morning and some rays."
Site selection strategy: Choose cabin locations carefully based on layout. "Sites are a combination of dirt and grass. Ours is level enough no problems there," notes a visitor at Gulf Shores-Pensacola West KOA. Another RVer advised, "I would recommend looking at the map online, before booking, to make sure you choose the right spot for your RV as some are closer together than others."
Utility connections: Check for electrical options when booking. "WiFi is okay they publish that it doesn't work for streaming but it worked fairly well for our TV," reports an RVer. At Milton-Gulf Pines KOA, a visitor shared, "We were a little over 70ft long and it was a breeze. FHU, and plenty of activities and amenities for our granddaughter."
Noise considerations: Be aware of potential noise sources when selecting a cabin site. "It's loud by the highway. You can't enjoy your camping on half of the campground," warns a Splash RV Resort visitor. At Mystic Springs, a camper advised, "I've noticed that weekdays tend to be louder, as the few campers that are there, are more prone to leaving their dogs outside to bark all night."
