  Tanglewood Gardens Mobile Home and RV Park

  Everything you need, 20 minutes to beach

  This is a mobile home/rv park. Very quiet, pets allowed, full hookups, flawless wifi, big sites with driveways and slab for entryway to your rig. They offer weekly and monthly, very hard to get a spot sometimes, very popular place for long term stays. They have always managed to squeeze me in. The owner and managers are amazing as well.

  Navarre Beach Camping Resort

  Overpriced ⭐️⭐️⭐️

  If you’re looking for some water access this place is decent. It's a fairly nice park, however it's dense and feels crowded. Seems like there are quite a bit of long term campers here. There is nice access to water off the pier and seating is available on the their private beach. Not much room to explore other than inside loop of the park but for overnight water access in a pinch its worth the experience. Our pad was elevated and easy to get in and out. Full hook ups and pretty clean facilities. Lots of children running around , mopeds etc. The trash on the morning we left was over flowing in the dumpste. In a jam we would consider staying again. 

  Wifi - Yes

  ATT - Yes

  Destin West RV Resort

  Great RV park close to the beach

  Beautiful RV park that backs up to the bay and across the street from the beach. All paved sites, Very clean and well groomed full hook up sites. It's a little pricey but location is worth it. And the Icecream shop is next door!

  Geronimo RV Beach Resort

  Shaded RV Enclave Close to Gulf Shores

  I’m not sure if Geronimo ever visited this roadside RV depot, for which this and the road that you’ll have to navigate down to find this place are named for, but if he did, I am sure he would be happy to be somewhat removed from the crazy busy touristy town of Destin in favor of a plot of land that offers a bit of shade, respite from the sun as well as the noise and commotion of a Spring Break destination. Geronimo RV boasts about being a ‘hidden gem on the emerald coast,’ and if you are looking for a spot to park your oversized RV for the night, all the while being incredibly close to the pristine aqua green ebb and flow of slow moving Gulf coast waves that gently massage flawless white powder sand beaches here in a part of Florida where time seems to have stopped altogether, then Geronimo RV Resort might just be the spot for you.

  Located just 3 miles from Destin, this family-friendly, pet-friendly and big-rig-friendly RV hangout is situated in Miramar Beach and just two short blocks to the sugar sand beaches that you came here for. This RV parking lot has just 34 slots, the majority of which are located on the interior and exterior of a decent size simple circular loop, with about 4-5 slots located nearer what looks to be like the main office (although it is not), along with a few slots placed in front of this same building that you’ll easily be able to spot as you drive in. For those wanting to store their RV or boat, there is also additional storage space at the front of the property and the southern side. You will discover that the actual main office is located just as you approach the circular loop and it will be immediately on your left as you turn left into the loop with a handful of places to park and check-in.

  Amenities: level concrete large RV parking pads with patio, tree-shaded main RV parking loop, full hook-ups (30 / 50 electric amp, water (40-55 PSI) and sewage), free WiFI and Cable TV (70+ channels), 24 / 7 spartan clean bathrooms and showers, potable water and dump station, large recreation area for throwing the frisbee or taking the puppy for a walk, coin-operated laundr-O-mat as well as storage lots for boats, RVs and other vehicles.

  Driving Directions: From Emerald Coast Pkwy: Turn onto Old Hwy 98, stoplight across from Silver Sands Premium Outlet and Chic-fil-A (Scenic Gulf Dr.). Follow Old 98 for approximately half a mile, and you will see Embassy Suites on your right. Turn right onto S. Geronimo St. Drive a few hundred feet and arrive at Geronimo RV Park on your left. Or from Hwy 98 turn on to S. Geronimo St, head South a quarter mile, then turn on to Arnett Lane where our sign is located.

  Insider’s Tips: (1) One irritating element about Geronimo is that they will only allow you an RV+ another vehicle, but if you come packing a golf cart, motorcycle or even a boat, then they will charge you for two vehicles and make you park this in another spot (and charge you nightly for it), so think twice before you bring your entire caravan to this place; (2) For my tent-pitching bredren, there is ‘no luck at the Inn here’ as this is only an RV parking site, so head on over to nearby Henderson Beach State Park if you want to find a simply fantastic camping spot right near the Gulf; and (3) When you get tired of trying to fix a meal with the leftovers in your onboard mini-fridge and want to try out some local fare I HIGHLY recommend nearby Brotula’s for simply fantastic Dungeness, King and Snow Crab that you can wash it down with a local micro-brew or stunning glass of Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc.

  Happy Camping!

  Mid Bay Shores Maxwell

  Military RV Park on the white sandy shores of the Gulf

   Mid-Bay Shores, Maxwell/Gunter’s military Florida resort was formerly called Lake Pippin, the new name, Mid-Bay Shores, was chosen to better reflect the beautiful white sandy shores of Choctawatchee Bay that the resort faces. The gated entrance is just before the Choctawatchee Mid- Bay Bridge, a toll bridge that connects Niceville and Destin. 28 RV spaces with full hook-ups– water, electrical and sewer, and six overflow sites with just water and electrical hook-ups. Visitors have access to barbecue grills and picnic tables next to their facility. There is also a new bathhouse with laundry facilities.

  Splash RV Resort & Waterpark

  So much Fun for the kids!

  We have been to Splash RV two times now. Last time was before school started, and it has been our granddaughters favorite RV park so far. There are a lot of activities planned for the kids….the free donuts on the weekend, were a hit. Our sites were back in, with full hook ups, level site and picnic table. The lazy river and waterslides were her favorite. We especially liked 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 the karaoke was also a lot of fun, and the foam party was a blast to watch. Staff was very nice. The bathrooms and laundry facilities were clean and large, but We did not use. The dog park is very big with a dog washing station. Piggly Wiggly is nearby as well as gas stations and dollar store…it is a little more pricey than we normally spend, but it was worth it to see the smile on our granddaughters face. 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.

  Black Creek RV Park

  Quiet campground with full hookups close to several beaches.

  Excellent RV park. I hesitate to even bring attention to it because parks like this get booked out in a hurry. It's off the beaten path, in the woods about 15 minutes from the closest ocean. 

  There's a small park right off the bridge of 331 that has a small beach (Grady Brown Park). Panama City Beach is about a 40 minute drive depending on traffic. Destin is about 30 minutes depending on traffic. 

  The owners are very responsive to email and even let us do an overnight check in a day prior to our actual stay. Each site is large with a sand and gravel base. Full hook-ups, good water, and sewage. 

  Also, the park has amazing WiFi. I got great service with Verizon. My wife got great service with AT&T.  

  I will tell you, this is a pitch-black at night, quiet park and you don't see too many folks doing any of the typical RV park loitering. Seems like a lot of folks park their rigs and then head for the beaches. 

  We loved it here and will definitely come back. If you're looking for thrills and frills, this park isn't for you. If you're looking for full hook-ups, a quiet place to park your rig, and peace and quiet, this is a great spot. We brought our 17 foot long tow vehicle and 33 foot camper and had no problem getting into our spot. Plenty of space between sites.

  Excellent Campground

  The campground is within walking to the beach with a beautiful walkway full of trees. The bathrooms are clean. The camp site has a picnic table and a fire ring. Some sites have electricity and RV hookup.

  Destin West RV Resort

  Beautiful

  This is a fairly small rv resort. It has 58 spots that are fully paved. The grounds are gorgeous. Across the very busy street is a nice hotel that we have access to the pool, beach, and all of their amenities. There is a pool on this side too, which is very clean and heated, but small. If I came back during peak season I’m not sure I’d have any room to get in. The park is on the bay, which is a pretty nice view of the emerald clear water. Laundry facility is nice, only has three units though.

  Geronimo RV Beach Resort

  Amazing place to stay close to the beach

  Our first trip to destin we stayed at geronimo RV resort.    THey were very accommodating  including giving us options if we had a new RV delivered and had to swap coaches.   There isnt a fenced dog area, which is the only downside, but there is a big field and lots of areas to walk the dogs.  The Wifi was bullet fast and I could actually work on it.   The folks working there were friendly as can be and made the trip a joy.

  Cedar Pines RV Campground

  Mostly Long Term

  Very small quiet park, it seems most people live here long term and know each other very well. There is a small pool and exercise room.

  Fort Pickens Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

  Nice quiet basic campground

  For those campers who enjoy a more basic less touristy campground, this one is great. Has rv hookup sights, bath houses and laundry facilities. But no facilities like crowded pools, game rooms, etc. Park rangers are great and always had very helpful camp hosts. Best step above primitive camping while allowing for close to nature setting. Short walk to water, good coastal fishing, Ft Pickens historical site to visit, etc. Not long drive to town. We love it especially in early winter.

  Grayton Beach State Park Campground

  Awesome!

  This place was great; perfect location, quiet campground, short walk/bike to the beach, full hook-ups.  Site was clean and level.  Not far from all the offerings of 30A (but we were there mostly to camp).  Hit the beach for a beautiful sunset each night.  Biked in the forest across the street and biked up and down 30A a bit.  Definitely planning on coming back sometime.

  PROS: Great big, full hook-up sites with a fair amount of privacy

  Close to the beach

  Close to 3oA and shops

  Bike path right out front

  CONS: Not too much to complain about - would be nice to be ON the beach but...

  Lake Kristina Campground

  Not so great camping

  This place is more for long term residents. You can camp if there is an available spot. Not much to do except stay over night and then head out to find State parks that aren't to far away.

  Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Campground

  Amazing Park

  This state park is awesome, full hook-ups, cable tv, pool, and the private beach is amazing. They have a tram to the beach. we road our bikes. Sites are very spacious and lots of trees. Best sites are in the 100 block. but you won't be disappointed with any of them. Not many state parks has full hook ups so you have to book early as it fills up fast.

  Lake Kristina Campground

  Out of the Way & Quiet

  I lived in this park for three years long term. The original owner (Peanut) was still alive but I believe his Son now runs the place. I had a site on the back side and had plenty of room to spread out. One thing though was towards the end of my stay a group of shall we say Meth heads moved in next door and made my last few months there interesting (fights, alot of vehicle traffic etc) so I left. I live this way to get away from that type of folks so it was a deal breaker. Reasonable rent, fixed rate for long term visitors and enough amenities to let you keep your laundry clean. No showers were available when I lived there but that may have changed by now. There is a lake there and alot of ducks and chickens on the park grounds. Most people there keep to themselves and dont cause trouble.

  Camp On The Gulf

  On the beach! But buggy.

  My daughter and I had a great stay...until the tiny biting bugs got In Our Dodge Ram Promaster and we couldn’t get them out. We had to spray our bedding down w bug spray but it didn’t work so then we had to bag all the bedding into trash bags and sleep on the mattress without blankets. We couldn’t open the vents or the bugs would come in so we slept with all the windows/vents closed and inhaled the bug spray all night. We both woke up after a fitful night of non sleep all swollen from the chemicals. Besides that it was the best RV park ever! A bit crowded but we had a nice spots that was at the end near the beach backed up to a fence so it felt fairly private. The bathhouse was nice. A lot of private showers. Just don’t try to use them at peak time before dinner because it will be busy and u will have to wait for one.

  Blue Angel Park

  Pensacola Camping

  We spent 4 days at this camp site. There is two different sites on with poured pads and the other just dirt. The sites are night and day different. One kept up and the other ran down. Unable to get on the good side due to long term retired campers. However, overall good place to stay for the cost. Bathrooms very clean.

  Great little campground. 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. First come, pay at the front building.

  A Cozy Corner RV Lodge

  Well maintained, clean

  We stayed for just an overnight stay. It was very clean and very well maintained. The manager was very sweet and super accommodating to our last minute request. It’s an RV only site. Has a small area for dogs.

  Otherwise I see it as just a place to park. No other things for kids there… but your in the pan handle of Florida so using it as just somewhere to sleep at night isn’t bad if you utilize the beaches and such.

  All concrete pads, full hook up, wifi available quick access to stores.

  Cedar Lakes RV Park & Campground

  Umm, not for us but ok, I guess

  I wasn’t able to find out much information about this 25-site campground as the owner was not in the office when we visited. It is located not far from Interstate 10, but I would not recommend trying to find it after dark. 

  The campground is on a dirt road and there were puddles from recent rain, although it was not difficult to navigate in our van. It did appear that some of the“campers” were long term residents. 

  The website indicates there is a pool, but I did not see one. The website also indicates the following information (although I could not confirm it): cash only, pets are ok, 30/50 amp electric plus one FHU site, restrooms/showers/laundry. 

  There is a small lake and fishing is available, but no boat launch (lake would be too small for boats). Other than that, there really is nothing to do here.
