The best private sites RV parks near Clearwater, Florida

Clearwater is a beach lover’s paradise, where campers can pass the days swimming, snorkeling, or fishing on family-family, white-sand beaches on Florida’s stretch of the Gulf of Mexico. Expect to share these waters with dolphins, manatees, pelicans, and all sorts of fish and seabirds, especially if you head out by kayak or boat to the undeveloped islands that sit just offshore. For in-land campsites with less crowds and a change of scenery, Clearwater Beach is also near forest and wetland preserves where you can birdwatch and spot gators. The best campgrounds and RV sites come with quick access to nature.

Outstanding camping experience. This small campground is beautiful and in a great location. We enjoyed our stay and the host was very friendly and helpful. There was lots of room to turn around and park. And the sites were very spacious. If you’re looking for camping in this area, I would highly recommend this campground.

Weekend Trip to Honey Bee Ranch

We had a really peaceful stay at Honey Bee Ranch. Waking up to cows gently mooing in the distance was such a unique and calming way to start the day. The property is beautiful, quiet and full of wildlife and it truly feels like a place to slow down and relax. The RV sites are spacious, well set up and have full hookups. A great spot if you’re looking to unplug and enjoy nature. Would definitely stay again.

Honeybee ranch is such a special place! We didn’t expect to have this type of experience. It’s so peaceful and scenery is stunning. Carolina was very accommodating when we had a special arrival request, and Cindy the host on site, was really sweet. She greeted us upon arrival helped us back into the site and then In introduced us to the Cows.. later that evening we walked the entire property at sunset, admiring the oak trees, and watching ibis fly north for the evening. The ranch has a very special feeling to it. As for the campsites, we had everything we needed water power sewer. There’s no fire rings at the site so we made a fire at the community pit, which is a really cozy spot to hang out all night. Totally recommend the spot and btw, super close to Danes Cave and Croom Rec for hiking and ATVs

This is my first time on Hipcamp so I'm not really sure what I'm comparing to. I arrived earlier than expected, and the caretakers were very gracious directing me to my campsite without batting an eye. I was able to connect my trailer to water, sewer and electric immediately and walk around the big property to see some of its features. In addition to the 5 or 6 RV sites here, there is a residence called the Barn, which was not occupied when I visited here. Peaceful is the main word that comes to mind- it's quiet at night, which is good because I had to get up early. I enjoy visiting the cows when I got back from my tournament rounds early in the afternoon. I'm the only one staying here now so I didn't take advantage of the community fire pit, but it's a great idea and there was firewood available to me.Still hoping to get a close-up look at tha fox squirrel., who has so far kept his distance as far as I can tell. The name of this ranch drew me here, and it was a little bit sad that I couldn't get any of this season's honey because it's not ready yet.

14 nights at Dom’s nature camp 🍃

Dominic was very responsive, helpful, and a super nice host. We're in a 39 ft fifth wheel with a long bed truck, so we can't turn worth a darn. Getting into the site was a challenge for us mostly due to immoveable objects (lamp post, storage tent, tree stump), but we also aren't very good at backing in. Dominic did recommend we back in through the property gate to be at the proper angle to get into the site, but we weren't confident we could do that given the narrow road & our long turn radius. Once in the site, all was wonderful. Shorter rigs likely have no problem. Great FHU site. Trees provide shade during most of the day. Very quiet atmoshere, even during evenings. Would definitely stay here again and recommend.

When to go

Clearwater is a year-round destination, with important differences between seasons. Winter is great for tent camping experiences thanks to cooler weather and less humidity, but this time of year is also more crowded, as snowbirds head to town from the Northeast and Canada to escape the cold. Meanwhile, summers in the Tampa Bay area can be hot, humid, rainy, and buggy—seek a campground with a swimming pool, a log cabin with air-conditioning, or an RV resort with cool communal clubhouses.Fortunately for RV campers, Clearwater has many RV parks with 50-amp full hookups, restrooms, wifi, and dump stations.
