Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Panacea, FL

Another KOA on our trip to circumnavigate Florida. Another KOA recovering from hurricane damage. But, they do have some things open: the rv sites are open, the dog park (a nice large dog park), the hot tub. They have propane and a limited store. There are also tent sites and cabins. Lots of large live oaks with Spanish moss survived the storm as well. It is about an hour from the Suwannee River State Park where you can see Manatees in the clear waters of the spring.

Stayed one night, clean bathroom and showers. Dog park just a fenced in dirt area. Gravel and grass with a small concrete pad.

I love KOA because they are consistent… And I have a membership that gives me a bit of a discount. I find they are a good value as a rule. This one was really a surprise for the area which did not look that special but the KOA was so bright and cheery and wonderful. We’ve enjoyed it. They had great pull through a dog park lots of amenities and a super great park.

Nice campground. Helpful staff at check-in. It has a nice pool and is on the beach. Access is across Route 98, but the traffic was minimal. There is some road noise at site#39, but it is not bad. Level site, full hooks, cable TV, and good internet speeds. Getting the RV positioned was a little tricky. While the site is long enough, the sewer connection is closer to the front of the site, so we could not park at the back. We had to be positioned to reach the sewer connection and work our rear slide around a large palm tree. Site 39 backs up to the pool and park office. At busier times, there may be a lot of people traffic, but not during our stay. Also note that there are no firepit or grills provided at the site. You must have your own grill. We enjoyed our five-night stay here. IGA grocery store in Carrabelle is the closest. Fathom’s Steam Room and Raw Bar is an old Florida open-air restaurant and bar with live music. There is a small dog park in the resort. Lots to explore in the area: Carrabelle, Eastpoint, St George Island, Lighthouse, and State Park, Tate’s Hell State Forest, Crooked River Lighthouse, or just relaxing by the pool or on the beach.

Very run down campgrounds that used to be a KOA and now a Good Sams campground. Not maintained very much even though the few staff tried to clean it a bit. Weeds, not mowed, peeling ceilings in dated bath house with exterior doors that do not close or have keyed entry. Only trash can was in laundry room which was at least open 24 hours but many machines out of order. WiFi only during business hours. Friend stayed in minimal cabin and was dim missing bulbs and smoke detector. They even charge a pet fee to clean cabin after pets.

This is a nice park with a perfect location in Panacea.  It is close to the water and everything else in Panacea.  The park is near the main highway, which gets pretty quiet at night.  There are nice big trees all over the property.  They are in the process of upgrading the park with additional spots.  The people are super friendly and have great advice about where to go kayaking.

Stayed for the week on a waterfront lot. Very roomy between the RV and the water but tight quarters on either side. Not much to do in the area but the little aquarium in Panacea is worth a visit. Would stay again but for a shorter time.

Tallahassee FL Tallahassee RV Nice campground close to I10, shopping and restaurants.Gentleman who took my reservation over the phone was very nice and helpful. The sites are gravel, very level. Many pull thrus. Sites are close together. We have a tiny trailer but sites are full hook up and can fit larger rigs. Cable TV and Wi-Fi. We were in site 1, right next to the restrooms, common room and laundry. Restrooms are singles with showers and toilet. Nice and clean. They have a great common room that has TV, games, books, piano, a nice kitchen too. It's decorated with trophy animals. I liked it but may not appeal to some. Laundry reasonably priced$1.50 wash$1 dry. The grounds are beautiful and well groomed. A cute cat was wandering around. We normally stay at state parks so the price,$51with military discount was higher than we usually pay. Overall very nice campground.

Great trails in the mountains of Florida. Campsites are narrow but long we had enough space to set our screen room up behind camper. Hurricane michael did extensive damage to the area. Trees and shrubs are growing back. Not much shrubbery between sites. Two super cool yurts for rent and a cabin. Campground is set above the ravine which makes for awesome sunsets. The trails can be accessed from campground. Most of the trails are pretty strenuous especially for Florida. Warning about copperhead snakes at this park so I would not take dogs on any of the trails.

My husband and I really enjoyed this campground. Pull thru with full hookups makes for stress free set up. We travel with 2 dogs so dog runs were a plus. Shade trees and very clean. The host was very easy going and friendly. We will stay again if in the area.

Very pretty RV park. Level gravel sites and roads. WiFi, cable, full hookups. Lots of trees and shade. Nice area to walk dogs. Will stay again.

Great staff. Easy large spaces. Get the ones that back to the ocean. Best views there. March there is little beach available and reminder the water here is brown. Dog area (small). Cool pier that includes fishing license for guests.

It's the views that bring you to the Ho Hum RV Park. I had a waterfront site and thoroughly enjoyed letting the dogs run on the beach. At the end of the fishing pier you can see the crabs clinging to the support poles.

Great Gulf views.

We do not like traveling far off our route to stop for the night. We also prefer to pay for FHU and this was $42 for us with military discount. This park is literally 1/4 mile off of I-10 (you hear the traffic, which did not bother us). The spots are a little tight, but there were a lot of vacant spots so we did not feel crowded. A dog run and nice big mowed field were available for our dogs. Not much immediately nearby, but the town of Monticello is about 4 miles north of the park with a Winn Dixie and other small merchants. A simple overnight stop along I-10. we would stop here again. A single washer ($2.00) and dryer ($1.50) was helpful. If you can get spot #1, that's what I would ask for. Safe Travels.

Great little campground if you are looking for views and not amenities. Nice spots, the ones on the water are absolutely amazing. There is a small store, laundry and bathhouse. Staff is very friendly as are all the campers we have met. Dog friendly and fine for kids but be mindful that there’s not much to do except fish and walk on the small beach.

 We used this as the base camp for the area. 

Nice camp store/office. We bought wood & had a fire every night.

Bathrooms/showers are outstanding! Recently remodeled & very clean.

The road looks like it's been recently paved as well.

Nice pool/spa. 

Our site was a full hookup pull through under large live oaks. It was KOA tight.

Only bad thing to say about it is it's a dirt site.  Very messy, even though we had an outdoor rug.

One interesting thing at this KOA is their doggie sites. They have 2 sites that have a penned in yard for your dogs. I think it's brilliant! Probably the wave of the future.
