The best beach camping in Florida

Name: Florida
Address: Florida
Rating: 4.8065

Blessed by year-round sunshine and warm weather, Florida is an always appealing destination for campers and RVers. Sunshine seekers and snowbirds heading south will find some excellent beachside Florida campsites and RV parks where they can escape the chill of the north and soak up some winter sun. But when the heat of summer is on, the Sunshine State’s hundreds of beachside campsites—from Destin in the north to Cayo Costa State Park in the central Gulf Coast, and Long Key State Park in the south—also offer easy access to the ocean to cool off. South Florida and the Keys make for perfect winter getaways, while the cooler beaches of northwest Florida are best in summer. Throughout the state, Florida's beachside sites offer plenty of facilities, as well as easy access to hiking and biking trails and on-the-water fun, from casting a line to launching a kayak.

Osceola National Forest is 200,000 acres of exploration with your name on it! In the northeastern Floridian forest, pine flatwoods and cypress-hardwood swamps surround, with diverse wildlife abound. In this leafy paradise lives gopher tortoises (they act like gophers, but are tortoises!), alligators, black bears, and the skunk ape, also known as the “stink ape,” which bears an uncanny resemblance to bigfoot. Areas of recreation include Ocean Pond--a fave place for boaters, skiiers, and campers, and Olustee Beach for swimming, fishing, and picnicking. The park is also open to hunters and fishermen with permits. With so much land to explore in this National Forest, we wouldn’t be surprised if bigfoot was hiding in there!

Santa Rosa Beach, FL · 1 site

I don’t exaggerate when I say this is one of the most private stays you’ll find in the 30A area. From your campsite, you’ll see our primary “Jungalow” on the property, but no other homes are visible from the camping spot. We’re just half a mile from the beach, yet at night you’ll fall asleep to the sounds of crickets and in the morning wake to birdsong—and you may even hear the waves. Feel free to call or message me if you’d like a video tour of the property. While large rigs can fit, our preference is for those under 30 feet. We offer 30AMP hookups, water, and septic for dumping both grey and black tanks. 50AMP rigs are no problem if you have a converter.

Palm City, FL · 11 sites · Tents, RVs

A small but unique piece of land that was given to a family in the 1920s by the Florida Railroad Company. It stayed in the family until we purchased it. It is unique because the surrounding area does not have much tree coverage. This is due to the ground underneath, which is a vein of grey marl. This is why the area is called the Allapattah (an Indian word for Alligator) Flats. We are hoping that our county stays the way it is so people will know what Old Florida really looks like. Minutes from I-95, but surrounded by the Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Preserve. Located on Martin Hwy, which was recently designated as a Florida Scenic Hwy. Fifteen minutes to Stuart and thirty minutes to West Palm Beach, a world away from the hustle and bustle. We realize that people also love Florida for Disney and tropical paradises but if that is what you want then this may not be your kind of place. Depending on the season and availability we may have local honey and/or firewood available for purchase.

If you don't have a boat, we can set up any kind of trip you want. We are all licensed captains and own multiple Crab Island businesses. So we can set up charters for you on the following boats: Sailing trip on a restored 1963 Pearson Ensign. Can accommodate up to 6 people. This is a classic sailboat that is easy to sail and easy to learn to sail. A restored 1966 Boston Whaler that is perfect for couples looking for a sunset cruise, etc. Can accommodate up to 6 people but it perfect for 2 -4. We can go to Crab Island, look for dolphins or find our own private island beach. Waverunner tours. We can take you on a guided wave runner tour looking for dolphins and private beaches.

Inshore flats skiff targeting redfish and trout on light spinning gear and fly rods. This boat is best fished with no more than 3 people. Rates: $150 per hour for less than 3 hours $500 for half day (4 hours) $600 for 6 hours The neighborhood is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Fort Walton with large oaks and magnolias providing plenty of shade for bike riding and walking.

This was my third time camping at Christine & Cal's. I was a bit skeptical booking for this time of year but my four nights there could not have been more perfect. Perhaps it was just luck but very few bugs and relatively cool nights. I was fortunate enough to have a pair of visiting cardinals everyday which is seen as a positive sign. Although you can hear some road noise from the highway the peacefulness and beauty here tend to block it out. Thank you Christine & Cal see you in the fall.
