Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Tallahassee, FL

Tallahassee RV Park's pet-friendly facilities accommodate travelers with dogs of all sizes, with spacious pull-through sites situated among tall pine trees. The park maintains clean, well-kept grounds with gravel sites that are reasonably level. Nearby Big Oak RV Park and Coe Landing Campground also welcome pets, offering full hookup options for RV campers. Leashed dogs are permitted throughout these campgrounds, though waste pickup is strictly enforced. Most sites feature picnic tables and fire rings where campers can relax with their pets. The sites remain quiet despite being conveniently located near shopping areas, restaurants, and Interstate 10. Many reviewers note the grounds are meticulously maintained with staff raking sites regularly to ensure they remain even.

Lake Talquin State Forest's pet-friendly primitive campsites provide more rustic options for tent campers with dogs seeking natural surroundings. The Fort Braden Tract offers hiking trails where leashed pets can explore alongside their owners. Mosquitos can be problematic during warmer months, so pet owners should pack appropriate repellent for themselves and pet-safe options for their dogs. Ed and Bernice's Fish Camp combines RV sites with cabin accommodations that accept pets, providing boat-in access for fishing enthusiasts with dogs. The campgrounds maintain reasonable quiet hours, though barking policies vary by location. Bathroom facilities at most established campgrounds remain clean and well-maintained, important for longer stays with pets. All sites require pets to remain supervised, with most campgrounds enforcing standard leash requirements except in designated areas.

    Another hurricane victim

    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.

    Flat Creek Family Campground

    Great Overnight Spot~close to Quincy & Torrey State Park

    Visiting friends in Quincy, easy to reserve a last minute site. Pull through with FHU. Under $50 with our GS discount. Excellent Dog park(huge and clean with lots of grass and seating) Pool was behind our site, clean but didn’t use. Our 40” fifth wheel barely fit. The front sites, and back of the park were the best sites. Staff was friendly, and nice general store. Facilities were clean, but we didn’t use. Close to town I-10. Had fair connection with T-Mobile.

    Madison RV Resort and Golf Course

    Enjoyable, quiet and well-kept

    Very nice resort. We don’t golf (this was the closest place to our grandkids!) so I can’t speak about the golf course. The RV resort is wonderful! Friendly and polite staff and neighbors. Clean laundry and bathhouse. A large dog park. My only suggestion would be to divide the park into “little dogs, big dog” sections. Big rig friendly. We would most definitely recommend this resort!

    Tallahassee RV Park

    Clean and convenient

    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.

    Perry KOA

    Love this bright cherry KOA!

    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.


Guide to Tallahassee

Tallahassee camping destinations sit at approximately 200 feet above sea level, with a humid subtropical climate that brings hot summers and mild winters. The region's terrain features a mix of pine forests and freshwater lakes, with Lake Talquin offering 26 miles of shoreline. Most campgrounds remain open year-round, though summer temperatures regularly exceed 90°F with high humidity.

What to do

Hiking trails available year-round: Fort Braden Tract in Lake Talquin State Forest offers three loop trails with varying difficulty levels. The trails provide "Nice elevation changes (refreshing for Florida hiking)" according to Jeanene A. Primitive camping options allow hikers to extend their adventures.

Fishing for multiple species: High Bluff Campground provides access to Lake Talquin with a dedicated fishing pier where anglers can catch bass and other freshwater fish. One camper reported "saw a massive gator hanging out by the fishing pier" during their stay at High Bluff Campground, adding an element of local wildlife viewing to fishing trips.

Kayaking on the Ochlockonee River: Visitors can launch kayaks directly from Ed and Bernices Fish Camp. A camper noted, "I really enjoyed this park. We kayaked and loved and I mean absolutely love being on this river." Water access points at multiple campgrounds allow paddlers to explore waterways throughout the region.

What campers like

Shaded sites under pine trees: The tall pines at Tallahassee RV Park provide natural cooling during hot months. A reviewer mentioned, "Absolutely beautiful! Tall trees and spacious spaces. Full hookups. They rake the spaces so they're nice and even." Many campsites throughout the area feature mature trees that help moderate temperatures.

Waterfront camping access: Williams Landing Campground provides direct lake access with pull-through sites. According to Dawna J., "Beautiful area with a friendly campground host, well maintained bathrooms. The sites are pull thru, which was nice as I am still not that great at backing up my little trailer." Similar waterfront options exist at several dog friendly campgrounds near Tallahassee.

Well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness ranks high on camper priorities at Coe Landing Campground, where "Nearly every spot is lake view. The keepers and residents are all very polite. They have a well kept womens restroom and shower. And hook ups at every station," according to Tatum B. Regular maintenance helps ensure comfortable stays even during peak seasons.

What you should know

Summer heat and insects: Mosquitoes and other biting insects can be problematic, especially near water. At High Bluff, one camper noted, "A nice quiet campground (on weeknight) not far from the interstate, was quite pretty for a morning walk." Bring appropriate insect repellent, particularly for evening hours when activity increases.

Highway noise at certain locations: A Stones Throw campground sits close to Interstate 10, creating noise concerns for light sleepers. A camper shared, "I was worried when I booked it but it is actually a cute campground for those overnight stays. It is literally along the highway and so easy to get too. Keep in mind along the highway means highway noise." Similar traffic sounds affect other campgrounds near major roads.

Limited amenities at primitive sites: For those seeking backcountry experiences, pack accordingly. At Fort Braden Tract primitive sites, a camper advised, "Fetch your own water from the lake. No modern amenities." Sites without hookups require self-sufficiency and proper planning.

Tips for camping with families

Playgrounds and recreation areas: Some Tallahassee-area campgrounds offer dedicated play spaces. Tallahassee RV Park provides "a pool, playground, and a clubhouse" according to Tonya B., making it suitable for families with children seeking structured recreation options.

Wildlife viewing opportunities: Ed and Bernices Fish Camp offers chances to observe river wildlife. A family visitor reported, "could not keep the kids from playing by the water they scooped up minnows and found crawdads. Was great to watch." These natural encounters provide educational value for children.

Pet-friendly policies: Most Tallahassee-area campgrounds welcome dogs with standard leash requirements. At Coe Landing Campground, Jason Z. observed, "there are chickens roaming!" which may interest animal-loving children but require pet management for those traveling with dogs.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Many RV sites require adjustment. At Coe Landing, a reviewer noted, "Sites are gravel and some take creative leveling of the rig." Bringing leveling blocks helps address uneven terrain common throughout pet-friendly campgrounds near Tallahassee.

Advance reservations recommended: Popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during pleasant weather periods. According to Bob W. at Tallahassee RV Park, rates can increase significantly during special events: "Was about double the nightly rate ($90!!!!!) due to a FSU football game over the weekend." Booking early secures better rates and availability.

Dump station locations: Not all campgrounds offer on-site dumping facilities. At Williams Landing Campground, facilities focus on basics rather than full-service hookups. For extended stays, plan your waste management strategy between campgrounds with dump stations.
