Weekend Trip to Gateway Trails

The hosts were kind and courteous,cleared a spot just so we could have privacey,went above and beyond..very clean campsites,very peaceful atmosphere ..the picnic table and fire pit were very convenient and nice..I would definitely recommend this camp site

4 nights at Navarre Beach Camping Resort

Really clean and pretty grounds. Lots of color and beach themed buildings. Friendly staff. Lots of amenities- pool, hot tub, laundry, library, clubhouse, bench swings, sandy beach, entrance to water, fishing off the pier. Close to all the shops and beach is a short 5 minute drive away. Will definitely be back.

5 nights at Navarre Beach Camping Resort

My family and I had the best time!! The trailer we rented was super clean, the staff was so friendly. We went Easter weekend and they had an Easter egg hunt and crafts/cookies for all the kids. So sweet! Can’t wait to plan our next trip there!

Weekend Trip to Gateway Trails

The boondocking site was just the right fit for that leg of my travels. Self contained toyhauler and Chihuahua mix. Once the door closed maybe if semi drove past may I have heard it. Host's were talkative quite pleasant and informative. Stay again, sure would.

Weekend Trip to Gateway Trails

Had a beautiful night at Suzette’s campground very wonderful people. I would definitely stay there again.

3 nights at Gateway Trails

This was my second trip to Gateway Trails, first was a solo trip and this time, friends came to enjoy! This site was new to me but was equally wonderful. The campsite was so spacious and yet private and protected, we felt perfectly safe walking around at any time of the day or evening. The site-mentioned outhouse was pristine upon arrival, our purchased firewood was stacked so carefully by the perimeter of our site so it wouldn’t impede tent setup, and the fire pit and table were clean and ready to go! We had less bug friends than I’ve ever seen at a campsite, plenty of space right next to the potable water to set up a portable shower, and the stars at night were clear and bright, deep in the heart of Florida (ten points to you if you know that adjusted lyric). Mr. Jay came to greet us and brought over his adorable pup to say hello as well. It’s been two years since I’ve been to their campsite, and he still remembered me (even after all their fully booked months!) and greeted us all with such kindness. We were bummed we didn’t get to see Mrs. Suzette but respectfully might request a celebrity appearance next time we come down! Thank you Gateway Trails for a fun, safe, and gorgeous camping trip, we cannot wait to come back.

7 nights at Navarre Beach Camping Resort

We really enjoyed our stay at Navarre Beach Camping Resort! The hosts were friendly, the RV park was clean, and the amenities were ideal. Being close to the beach access was amazing. Will be back!

Weekend Trip to Navarre Beach Camping Resort

Cool area and friendly staff! The Cold water cabin was cute, a great price, with everything we needed for one night in Navarre. Sits in the middle of a lot of good food options as well. Only a 7 minute drive from multiple public beaches. Would definitely recommend checking this spot out!

Weekend Trip to Gateway Trails

Excellent spot !! Big site with 30 amp and water hookups. Dump station on property as well. Bulls docking was an excellent site!! Thank you Jay and Suzette.

Weekend Trip to Apple Hill Cabins and Camp Ground

Marie and Larry are kind, generous, and the real thing: Alabama homesteaders for generations. They decided to share their beautiful property with folks who are looking for peace and quiet, not frills and frippery. I walked the land every morning I was there after drinking my coffee serenaded by hundreds of bird. We enjoyed a bout of "severe weather" one evening, with thunderstorms and lightening and heavy rains pounding my little trailer. Larry and I had the chance to chat numerous times and I learned fascinating things about him and the history of the area. He and Marie even invited me in for a shrimp boil and catfish dinner. Now that's great hospitality. I stayed in site one, electric no sewer. But I think it's the best spot anyway since you can see the ponds and woods. I highly recommend Apple Hill and if I lived closer, I'd be back in a heartbeat.

Weekend Trip to Larry & Sheila's Blackwater Getaway

We lucked out here. We had a quiet weekend (as you can with THREE boys 12,13,13). Sheila and Larry were so friendly, they stopped in a bit after we arrived. We were able to chat a bit while we were allowing the boys to be boys… sometimes it’s hard to be able to. It was so refreshing for me to enjoy nature and let the boys do the work and run like heathens for once. We will most definitely be back to this beautiful piece of property.

1 night at Gateway Trails

Extremely understanding and kind. Clean and safe feeling, comfortable and quiet. I hear bathhouse is near completion thus making this site even more so amazing for family getaways.

3 nights at Gateway Trails

This is a beautiful, private campsite. I love waking up to the roosters, trees and solitude. The walk in is very short and well worth it. Hosts are kind. Highly recommend this place.

Weekend Trip to Larry & Sheila's Blackwater Getaway

Everything was great! Sheila and her husband were very nice and helpful. The river was beautiful and having a bathroom was awesome! Will stay again if we are ever in the area in the future.

2 nights at Navarre Beach Camping Resort

Wow! This place was amazing! I tent camped and the amenities are great - pool, hot tub, showers, club house with full kitchen, pier. Kayaking available. A few miles from the beach. I loved it. I will come back

1 night at Gateway Trails

Nice location set back in the trees. Jay was friendly and helpful. Not much road noise, very quiet except for birds, occasional rooster crowing and donkey braying. Good birding with a lot of native plants and transitional habitat.

Be Right on the Choctawhatchee

8 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Ponce De Leon, FL

5 acres right off Hwy 20 adjacent to the Choctawhatchee River Boat Ramp near Ebro, Fl. The bridge muffles the sound of the traffic but not enough for light sleepers. Good views of the river. Beautiful dock for fishing. Less than 2 miles to Dollar General for most of your needs, 4 miles to Bruce, Fl. Learn more about this land: Tent camping on the Choctawhatchee River. Two public boat launches right next to the property. The boat launch has a port-a-potty as do we. We have an outdoor shower that has instant hot water. We can accommodate boat parking on the property. We have a dock that you can tie your boat to but the water level is often not good for getting on and off the boat. I'm putting a road into the back so you can go in and out without to boat dock without crossing the road.. At present, you sometimes need a 4 wheel drive to get to the back of the property. For those of you who wish to boondock with your trailer or motorhome, we can accommodate at most times. There is a breakfast nook at the tiny house on the hill with a barbecue available.
