1. Cayo Costa State Park Campground
Boca Grande, Florida21 Reviews•101 Photos•330 SavesCayo Costa State Park protects the Charlotte Harbor Estuary and provides visitors with a majestic piece of untouched Florida.
An unspoiled Gulf Coast island evokes images of wind-shaped trees, dunes, beaches and freedom to explore. This especially rings true for Cayo Costa Island.
Accessible only by boat or kayak, this former fishing ground of the Calusa Indians features nine miles of undeveloped shoreline for swimming, snorkeling, shelling, fishing, birdwatching and exploration along with several walking and bicycling trails through the island’s interior. Shorebirds are numerous, and one might spot manatees, porpoises and sea turtles offshore.
This is coastal Florida at its best! Campsites and cabins are available for overnight stays, and a ferry service runs to the island from several mainland locations. Visitors are reminded that camping is allowed only in designated sites in the campground on Cayo Costa.

Palmetto Ridge Campground — Myakka River State Park
Palmetto Ridge Campground is Great
Great campground for any type of camping. All sites at Palmetto Ridge are full hookup and many sites are pull through. ATT WiFi is fast enough to stream YouTube and YouTube TV via my Apple TV box tethered to my iPhone.

Not a typical campground
If you are a traditional camper stay away. This place is mainly for trucks and ATV’s. There is sugar sand everywhere and my car got stuck. After they helped me get out I left.

Beautiful "old Florida" park
The campsites are well-shaded and have easy access to walking & biking trails. We've visited Myakka on day trips previously, and just recently camped there for the first time. It's quiet, and there's plenty of wildlife to be seen: Lots of birds, alligators, deer, wild turkeys. Bathrooms with laundry facilities were conveniently located, but we didn't use them. Campsite was clean, level, and easy to back into.

Shellmound Campground
Located in Jasper, TN. This is a place to visit! Fair rates ($35/night) and great views. Friendly staff. Upkeep on bathrooms and showers. Very pleased with my stay here! The lot was a tight squeeze so if you’re not an experienced driver, you may want to request a different lot selection.

Citra Royal Palm RV Park
Well I called to reserve for the night. I was given a discounted $40 overnight rate. It seemed fair, but the conditions were underwhelming. I had to use the shower and bathrooms and frankly… it was a hole in the wall. The shower was literally just a hole in the wall! Had to walk carefully in the bathroom to avoid getting in contact with the disgusting conditions.

The best campground
We were fortunate enough to get here before the hurricanes destroyed parts of this campground. It is so peaceful and naturally beautiful. Plenty of places to walk and ride bikes to. Our site was shady and a really good size. Bathhouse was always clean. Cannot wait to go back.

Great South Fl Escape
Enjoyed our brief stay at Periwinkle. Quiet, good bathrooms, a short hike to the beach and great restaurants and bars and ice cream within walking. Also serves as an exotic bird refuge. So much to like. Great price point.

Myakka Fun
This is our 2nd time at Myakka River State Park and it doesn't disappoint. We stayed at the PR section with full hookups. Site was spacious and the park even had smiling gators.
Robert P.GuidePeace River Campground
Bring Earplugs
I camped in the wilderness area which is somewhat disconnected from the main RV site. There are trails which are used by ATV's and up until 10pm its noisy. You also get quite a lot of noise from the divided highway which runs adjacent to the site. Getting to the wilderness area can be a bit challenging if you don’t have 4 wheel drive as the trails that lead you there are comprised of Sugar Sand. If you are a party until the wee small hours kind of camper or RV’r then you might enjoy this site and there are lots of activities to keep kids and adults occupied, however if you are more interested in a laid back quieter time then this probably won’t fit the bill.

Amazing Camping Experience
We heard so many great things from friends and boy did this place live them up! This was our first trip here even though we live only 1 hour away. Great primitive camping sites. Amazing trails for ATV use and mudding. Will definitely be back! Staff was friendly and helpful. A must visit!

Cayo Costa State Park Campground
Beach camping paradise
This place is special. Best beach oriented camping in Florida. The shelling is amazing and you truly feel like you have traveled back in time. We have camped there in a tent site three times in the last year. The campground closed for several months in summer 2021 to eradicated the rodents. It worked! We did not see or hear one rodent when we stayed for three nights in November 2021. If campers / visitors will keep a clean camp site and not leave food and garbage out, the rodents should stay under control.
No problem with bugs in the dry season, but you still need some bug spray at dawn and dusk.

Its.. a nice place
It takes an hour to drive to the closest beach, Almost everything inside the campground closes 8pm including the pool and the office and the laundry. The spaces are very tight and there is some pretty strict rules that I was unfamiliar with, Including I couldn't put my little doggy fence up in the grass next to my camper. The man that came around in the golf cart with the rule book was a very horrible person. Aside from that everybody else was very nice and the campground is actually well kept and it is nice.

Interesting place. Bring a quad
Super crowded, busy and loud campground. This isnt a quiet nature get Way its a two stroking music blasting party spot. The kids were all having fun, adults too. Hot showers, food trucks and plenty of dirt trails for exploring.

3 Generations grew up hers,here, I wS one!!
This campground has came so far. I can remember when it was little, but so fun! I couldn't wait to go every couple weeks! I learned how to shake teeth hunt, name snake species, dig up wooly mammoth remains,canoe,4 wheel, mudding,rope swing and last but not least, I learned how to wreck every golf cart my parents rented lol. The owners now passed down to the kids,they are so sweet and always made our stays safe and fun! The kids now take care of it and they've blown it out of the water! Since Hurricane Charley nearly destroyed the place I called my 2nd home, these kids have worked so hard to rebuild it and now it's so more awesome. My mother , now widow,has since retired and lives there year round. She cleans up ,guards the gate, and does gator patrol. I wanna say thanks to the family who opened there lard and home up to so many. We have so many memories,and have made so may friends and memories. If your ever in the area check out the thousands of acres of nothing but fun times!!

Farm Camping
We camped here a week before their annual Pumpkin Festival. Our granddaughter loved the petting zoo and pony ride! They have a nice fresh farm produce market and ice cream shop. There is also a country store, antique shop and large selection of geodes, rocks, crystals, etc. The campground was quiet. The bathrooms/showers were very clean and well maintained. The staff is very friendly! We would stay here again.
Marissa G.GuideCayo Costa State Park Campground
Totally private beach!
I did a solo trip and it was absolutely amazing! I really felt like I was on my very own private island and it was just magical. I used bug spray on my hammock as well as my camping chair and never had any issues with bugs.
Christina L.ScoutPalmetto Ridge Campground — Myakka River State Park
Florida untouched
We arrived at the gate! After hearing of the wilderness preserve we decided to go ahead and get the permit. You drive about a mile down the road from the main state park entrance to find the wilderness preserve entrance which is code protected. After driving back to the parking area, we realized we had the 600 acres to ourselves. We then hiked to the deep hole. There we saw tons of alligators birds and wildlife! A great piece of raw Florida!
Johnny D.ScoutPeace River Campground
Horrendous
Went with my family for a couple of days. Probably the worst experience we have had camping in sometime. The place is filthy. The bathrooms are horrendousand filthy I don't know who cleans them but they do a poor job. On top of that you've got tons of flies Where the garbage dumpsters are. On top of that it's all dirt roads it's a cluster of dust constantly and a noise from all the ATVs and gas golf carts. I would not recommend this place to anyone. I challenge the owners to reply to this because it was a waste of our money. And on top of that super expensive. Overall horrendous experience. I will badmouth you guys all day long. Get your stuff together literally especially in your bathrooms and shower areas that are filthy. What a waste of money.!!!!!!

The staff was super helpful and very eager to make sure we had a great stay! The grounds are simply amazing! While on a zoom call from a picnic bench by the River a participant said “Looks like you guys are in Hawaii or paradise somewhere”.

Quiet but smelly
The campsite is beautiful and well maintained. Lots of landscape and birds to see. Good location. However, be mindful of your location. There is an area right next to the sewage treatment facility and it stinks bad when the wind is wrong. It was wrong most of my weekend.
