The best dog-friendly camping 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.

4. Turtle Whisperer Houseboat

1 site · Lodging · Blountstown, FL
I am offering short-term rentals of my houseboat this season. It is located on the Apalachicola River, about 1 mile upstream of Neal Landing near Blountstown, and is only accessible by motorboat or paddle vessel. The houseboat is in a fixed location and does not move. It is furnished with two beds, a futon, and a loft for extra sleeping space, and there is a generator for power. This is a primitive camp, not a luxury resort stay. You must bring gasoline for the generator if you want power. The beds have hygienic mattress covers, but you should bring your own sleeping bag and pillow cover. You can relieve yourself at the boat ramp porta-potty (~1 mile away) or in the composting camp toilet out back. You must bring bottled drinking water or a Sawyer filter for river water. There is a propane stove/oven, a charcoal grill, and a fire pit out front if you bring wood or collect it. An outside propane instant hot water heater with a shower head and privacy screen is available if you need to get clean and don’t want to hop in the river. My goal is to offer a unique experience and provide a code to the door for the agreed time frame, not to provide every convenience. I would charge more for each stay if that were the case because it would be a real challenge for me to get to the houseboat and keep it stocked. If you come prepared for a camping trip, you will have a great time; if you come with nothing, you probably will not. This is my first time renting it out, so all the logistics are not fully sorted yet. I’m willing to talk with potential guests to see if we can work something out if additional amenities or comforts are required. This is an awesome camp for a hunting or fishing weekend, with enough room for a few friends to relax and enjoy some beers in the evening. This is not a random cash-grab rental property. This is my personal camp retreat, and I only want to share it with people who will be respectful of it and the river. More photos coming soon.
