Twin Lakes Camp Resort and Vortex Spring offer distinctive glamping experiences near the scenic lakes and springs of northwest Florida. Both properties provide upscale accommodations including safari tents and yurts with comfortable amenities rarely found in traditional camping. Twin Lakes features glamping sites surrounded by water views, concrete pads, and high-end bathroom facilities, while Vortex Spring combines their glamping options with natural swimming and diving opportunities. One guest highlighted, "Twin Lakes RV Park FL is one of the top ten private parks we have visited. Lot of amenities, kid friendly, beautiful bathrooms." These canvas accommodations typically include electricity, comfortable bedding, and climate control, creating a luxury outdoor experience without sacrificing comfort.
Water activities dominate the recreation options at these glamping resorts.

They have fishing docks and a nice little store when you check in and has a bathhouse with laundry facilities." The properties are gated for security and typically require reservations well in advance, especially during holiday weekends. Most glamping accommodations at these resorts remain open year-round thanks to Florida's favorable climate, though peak season runs from spring through fall.

ScoutCampOut Alabama
After almost seven years at Campout Alabama, I’ve stayed quiet about why I left. But watching one of the owners publicly boast about “new money” while remembering what went on behind the scenes is too much to swallow.
I remember credit cards declining when we needed supplies for his own business. I remember us practically begging for chlorine for the pool. I remember power lines in pine trees and box fans being used to cool breaker panels. That’s what comes to mind when I see the displays of wealth.
A mansion doesn’t impress me when the people keeping your business running are asking for basic supplies and payment. Bragging about wealth under those circumstances is embarrassing.
Before delivering another speech about “new money,” try explaining why the basics were such a struggle. Chlorine. Supplies. Paying people for their work. These are basic responsibilities of owning a business.
I cannot recommend Campout Alabama under this ownership. Almost seven years gave me plenty of time to form that opinion, and no amount of bragging changes what I experienced and so many others experience!

TravelerFlorida Caverns RV Resort
Observant Non-Guest
So we didn't actually stay here. We were at another campsite that was 30 minutes away with higher reviews. However, we stopped by to check this place out on our way to the Florida Caverns and we really wished we would of stayed here! This place was amazing. And the convenience of the gas station and corner store in walking distance plus all of the activities they had for kids. We surely would of enjoyed this place. And the view of the water and ability to fish and kayak were an added plus. Our kids were disappointed in me for not choosing this one. Definently keeping it saved for the next time we go though. And it was only 10 minutes from the Florida Caverns and close to several stores and not to far off Highway 10. There was plenty of spots and cabins when we went in October and spacious and not over-crowded.

AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!`
My campsite was turned into a construction zone. See pictures. My site should have not been available given the work that would be done. People all over my site, terrorizing my dog, using my picnic table as a staging area for supplies. Manager devoid of any form of empathy. They offered a site move(no thank you a day before departure) and 50% off(not adequate). AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park Campground
Great Spot for a December getaway.
Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is an excellent place for tent camping in December, especially if you enjoy hiking, wildlife, and having easy access to the beach without the summer crowds.
December is a great time to experience the park. The cooler temperatures make hiking much more enjoyable, and the campground is generally quieter and more relaxed than during the warmer months. The nights can get chilly, so I would definitely recommend bringing a good sleeping bag, warm layers, and something to block the wind. During the day, though, the weather can be perfect for exploring.
My biggest advice for December tent campers is to prepare for changing weather. You could have a beautiful mild afternoon followed by a cold and windy night. Bring layers, rain protection, and a windproof jacket rather than relying on one heavy coat.
Overall, Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is one of the better winter camping destinations on the Florida Panhandle. You get the Gulf, hiking, birding, dune lakes, wildlife, and a comfortable campground all in one place. For someone who prefers quiet trails and beaches over hot weather and summer crowds, December may actually be one of the best times of the year to camp here.

Great beach spot
Excellent location for camping and having easy access to the beach. Bathhouse was incredibly clean and well maintained. Camp store has plenty of equipment to rent and there is tons of trails to ride bikes around and to the beach.

Top sail campground Florida

Brittany Claire M.TravelerSand Pond Campground — Pine Log State Forest
Meth heads and no HOST
Could have been lovely, but no camp hosts and no one to call when METHany and her spawn show up with a loose pit bull, burning garbage, and defecating on your campsite. Nice flat site, very low water pressure, but good electric 50amp. NOTE: it's a state park so ANYONE can book- including methheads who let their pit bull run loose, burning garbage(including the pet waste we shamed her into picking up) causing us to close our windows, and allows teens to drive against traffic, car surfing....and there's NO ONE to call for help because the camp host is gone all day(at work?) and automatically unreachable after 5pm.
