The best dog-friendly campgrounds in Florida

In the Sunshine State, you don't have to choose between a trip with your dog and a camping adventure with amenities. Instead, both you and your pet can enjoy a long weekend in a luxurious treehouse or spend a night in a state park campground en route to the beach. If you'd rather find a pet-friendly campsite within striking distance of a city, opt for a dog-inclusive cabin near Orlando, Tampa, or Miami. Or, head south to the Florida Keys, where you'll pass plenty of pet-friendly tents, A-frames, and RV campsites. With so many options for a Florida excursion with your furry friend, you can choose between basic campgrounds and others with wifi, picnic tables, and oceanfront views. Wait for the heat to subside before stargazing outside your cabin and cozying up around an outdoor fire pit—your dog can snooze beneath the stars while you savor a much-deserved s'more.

6 sites · Tents, RVs · Hastings, FL

Welcome to our little homestead. Nestled amidst the serene countryside, this quaint campground offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Surrounded by lush farms and sprawling horse pastures, the air is filled with the sweet scent of wildflowers and the gentle rustle of leaves. With only a handful of RV spots and a few cozy tents scattered among the trees, guests can truly reconnect with nature while roasting marshmallows over crackling campfires under a blanket of stars. Here, the pace slows down, allowing visitors to unwind and immerse themselves in the simple pleasures of rural life. We just finished (well 2 years ago) traveling the country in an RV with five of our 7 kids (oldest two were in college) and we had a terrible time finding places to stay in Saint Augustine when we came home to visit. I hope that we can offer some nice people a safe and beautiful place to park their rig. Things to do: The property is near the historic St. Augustine, a fun walkable/bikeable city, lots of state parks and of course an awesome beach! Other things to note: 6 Miles away is 4 Lakes Campground with dumping facilities

Weekend Trip to Celestial Acres

Great Stay…. Host is awesome with communications. When I arrived, Jen came out to greet me. She shared some of the places in town to eat and things to do. Finding the place was very easy, although I encourage you to come in while the sun is up…. It gets really dark. The sky is wonderfully dark at night. I thought I saw shooting stars, but based on the news it was a Chinese rocket falling…. Regardless, the dark skies made the star gazing extraordinary. The place is about 20 minutes from St. Augustine, which was perfect for me. The Venus camping spot is very close to the road, but there was no traffic to speak of all night on that road. The Venus camping spot could hold my 20 foot truck, but I wouldn’t try fitting in a rig any bigger. The animals are all friendly and Jen encouraged me to pet them. She did share to pet the pigs on the top of their heads, least the pigs think I am giving them some food. 😊 Besides the chickens, there were lots of birds, including some miniature hummingbirds, that visited. I will absolutely be back! Great place, great host.

Great spot for tent camping under the trees

I was actually Patrick’s first guest! Old Mill Landing is a beautiful, peaceful spot surrounded by nature. I stayed here to bass fish on Lake Okeechobee and it was the perfect base for the trip. The property is well-kept and has a great old Florida feel. Definitely recommend it!

Had a great stay with Jennifer. This is a nice little space next to her working farm in a beautiful rural location. It's simple and Jennifer is an excellent host who really wants to make sure you are comfortable. The drive there is also gorgeous through amazing farmland.

I loved tent camping ⛺️ on Jens Farm , she was always available for anything if needed. The Farm animals are amazing and friendly. I stayed 10 days in a tent, you will need to be self sufficient if you plan on renting it, but the spot is private and on a very quite piece of property . At night 🌙 the stars and moon are so bright I to close my top , just beautiful sunrise, sunsets, property. Within 5 minutes you will find a Circkle K , Dollar General and amazing Pizza 🍕 Restaurant. This is the type of camping to find nature again and have the convenience of town when. Necessary, the price was more than fair. Thank you Jen and Crew

This site was neat, clean, quiet,safe for my fur babies to run off leash, and the hot tub was a big hit. I appreciate that it was within bike riding distance to the beach. Overall it was a wonderful experience, I definitely would camp there again.

Stayed here after our original plans fell through. The host was quick to respond and get us in! The site was very cute and private, but if you’re looking for a more remote area this may not be for you. Although in the woods, you still are close enough to hear traffic- which was no problem for us. The outdoor shower was also very cute!! The cold water was definitely refreshing after being in the Florida sun all day. Would definitely stay here again!!!
