"Nice campground, clean, large sites Good walking trails. Nice facilities."
"Some sites are very open next to the pond and some are back in the woods and more private. I love that the campsites are mostly spread out so you don’t have to worry about neighbors being too close."
"Several miles of walking paths around (part of) lake. Walk into town is about a mile. Half the sites are on the water, other half backs to trees. Full hook ups, good restroom/shower."
"Still had a great view of the lake. Clean restrooms and hot showers. Pay cash it check only. Call in advance for reservations and to confirm availability."
$75 - $85 / night
"Nice place on the lake, well maintained. We wanted to do laundry and try new kind of a campground. Overall positive, but expensive. Sites are really near each other, no privacy."
"We actually had a three month extended stay here while we wintered in North Florida and this place is a gem. The staff was super, the park always clean and the other RVers were quite and respectful."
"Beautiful park to camp next to the lake with 2 fishing docks. No bathrooms just port a potty. The camping price is $2 per night, no reservation is needed, and is online payment."
"Note - I drive a 20’ van - so non level is ok for me but these sites were not level - but I spent 2 nights sat/sun - and it was gorgeous especially for sunrise."
"Hopefully, we can come back for pleasure one day and do some fishing in the lake."
"After a long days drive it was a perfect place to take our dog for a walk to stretch our legs and settle in to a great campsite. "
"Nice small camp ground only about 25 sites most are directly on the lake.... full hook ups and has a bathhouse and a laundry room."
"This is a great single loop 20 site campground right on the lake mostly rvers. Individual bathroom, shower rooms, clean, and nice."

"BoonDocking with Bonnie is not only close to the beach, but they have 50amp hookup so you dont have to sacrifice much to enjoy the area. Check them out and leave a review about your stay on the Dyrt!"
TravelerWe really enjoyed our few days at this park. Its newly open and full of details and has a great hollywood museum thst must not be missed. Its very close to the 30a beach area but is hidden. There were a couple of famous Nashville musicians there also camping! The owners take great care of the park and its small and they have mo plans to make it into a parking lot with too many campers.
Guide$16 a night/$12 with Passport of America. 40ft sites W&E, no sewer We were the only campers on the lake. W & E, no sewer. A few trails to hike and a fishing pier.
ScoutI was in the area and rode through very nice quite campground. Talked to the on duty person and was really friendly. It also has a pool and plenty of cabins, bath house and laundry cabin. Doesn’t have double sites but has concrete pad and are close enough to beside each other. Overall 9 out of 10 in my book
ScoutWe were just here for one night passing through. Didn't get to do any trails but sites were spacious, has fire rings and BBQ. Bath house was clean. Very quiet and peaceful. Lots of birds for birdwatching!
ScoutThere are only three primitive camping sites out here and they are very secluded. In site 3 we had a great view of the river and easy access to the hiking trails! If you like primitive camping, this place is the way to go.
TravelerSo silent, clean bathrooms, nice people, rangers are really helpful
TravelerThis place is brand new and we had s chance to stay there on our way back to Ia. It was very close to the beaches and had an awesome waterfront view. The park looks like Drive In Movie and there were a few old hot rods that came by for pictures when we were there. The hosts had a vintage airstream rally going on while we were there and were very nice to visit with. They had lots of mad men 1960s memorabilia in their office snd we got lots of photos and had a great time. We cant wait to spend more time here later this summer w we come back on vacation.
ScoutIt's not on the big side of campgrounds but still has some of the amenities. No hookups at the campsites but there is running water (hot and cold) in the bath house with flushing toilets. Power outlets in the bath house as well. It is located right on the Blackwater River and has a boat launch and two pavilions with tables and barbeque grills right on the beach. The river is sand bottom and fairly clear. My big ol' malamute "Stealie" loves the river! The best part is it's FREE! For up to 14 days.
TravelerCamp Robbins is located on Eglin AFB just outside the Fort Walton Beach area. The camp is easy to find when you enter through the main gate and even the big rigs shouldn't have any navigational problems getting to the camp. Be aware however that their are two roads that lead into the camp sites one is dirt and the other paved, I highly recommend one enter in on the paved road which is the first right after passing the BX and commissary.
The RV camp site is not small but not huge either more of a perfect in-between. Each site is FHU on gravel and comes with a picnic table on a slab, for the most part the sites are leveled but not perfect. There are some back in sites but most are pull through (so convenient) as well as well spaced so one has some privacy and doesn't feel like they're in an ant farm. The sites and facilities are maintained fairly well as the bathrooms are clean and have hot water the laundry works and we even saw in many occasions work crews coming out to re-level some of the sites.
Location wise the camp is super convenient and ideal as the BX, commissary, class six, USPS, UPS, and Burger King are literally across the street from the camp site. Along with this their is also a base gym, boat and equipment rentals and bay side access for fishing and swimming on post and close to the camp as well. Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island, and Destin are minutes away as well. If you don't mind the drive Pensacola and Panama City are other areas to visit.
There is plenty to do as well between the Eglin visitors center (for kids and military history followers), emerald beaches, fishing, shopping and great food you can't go wrong.
Be aware however Camp Robbins is located just south of Eglins airfield so if roaring and screaming fighter jets first thing in the morning is not for you scratch this camp off your list. On the other hand if roaring jets don't bother you then you'll probably enjoy the free airshow every morning. I would however stress learn and know the high traffic times as depending on where one is off base during traffic hours can mean the difference between 15min or 1hr trying to get somewhere due to how channelized the routes are here. Be aware as well Fort Walton Beach is growing and has a lot of construction happening on its roads.
Lastly for the price, location and security I would give it five stars but their is always room for improvement I guess. We stayed at Camp Robbins for 10 days and for what we payed for that time would have only payed for one night at a hotel.
Definitely recommend.
