1 night at Malakai 🏕 different by design

Loved it! Two nights in a row was great. Joseph cares about his hip camp. If we ever come back through Pensacola we will definitely be stopping. Thank you Joseph!

1 night at Malakai 🏕 different by design

One of the best places that we've stayed hip camping so far. Joseph had thought of everything it seemed like it was even improving as we were there by putting some padding down on the bunk bed he constructed. This is one of those hosts that's taking it serious and it shows! Our favorite feature was the trail he had made on the property and it was very beautiful there. I would come back here.

6 nights at Malakai 🏕 different by design

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay at Malakai campground. Joe was very accommodating and helpful if we needed something. I flew from Iowa with my two teenage daughters and came unprepared in terms of sleeping arrangement. There are two wooden L-shaped bunkbeds, but no mattresses. Joe had a spare twin mattress he lent us for my daughters to share. I slept in my car rather than buying an air mattress. Everything else was great. Appreciated the shower house and the laundry on site. Would definitely go back.

2 nights at Larry & Sheila's Blackwater Getaway

Quiet and clean- this off grid location is the perfect spot to get away from it all. We enjoyed the nature and the cool river. Our host was gracious and bed cozy. We are sure to return!

2 nights at Gateway Trails

We loved the RV! The place was clean and the owners left all the necessities we could think of needing! The location was perfect- near a swimming lake and within 15 minutes of Blackwater river. The only downside was the WIFI was spotty so, when it rained (as it does a lot in June) we had to rely on the DVD player to keep the kids entertained until we could run around outside again.

4 nights at Gateway Trails

Such a gorgeous spot and the hosts were so sweet and hospitable not to mention the tv provided everything we needed and then some. A week to shut down here was exactly what we need and my favorite part was I could have the woods in the morning and night but the beach as well being only 40 mins away. We so appreciate jay and Suzette and will be back next year 🖤

2 nights at Navarre Beach Camping Resort

It was absolutely amazing.We enjoyed our stay kids had a lot of fun.The view was breath taking.We will definetly be back.

Weekend Trip to Malakai 🏕 different by design

This was my second stay at the glamping site and I will absolutely be back! I travel alone and staying at this campground is a breath of fresh air, I feel safe and welcome and the site is tidy and there is a lot of exploring I still need to do!

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 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.

Weekend Trip to Navarre Beach Camping Resort

Navarre beach camping resort was beautiful. Less than 10 minutes drive to the beach. The bay is beautiful. Everybody was super nice. They even do kayak rentals. Heated pool and hot tub. Will definitely be returning.

2 nights at Navarre Beach Camping Resort

We had a short stay before heading to New Orleans. We stayed in a one bedroom, with a small warm shower bathroom and kitchen. We had a TV as well with picnic table. It was a very nice stay, people were friendly. The beach access and doc where lovely and the water was so clear and beautiful. We took advantage of the hot tub as we visited in February and the Temps were in the 40-50 during the day. We had everything we needed for cooking in the cabin and utensils. They provided us with space heaters due to the lower Temps which was so nice and made it comfortable to relax in. I think the only thing that I kept thinking was that it would have maybe been nice to have had a fire ring that time of year to have sat by. However, absolutely was not a big issue. We did observe that some site had fore rings and some did not so it may have been something we just needed to request. It was such a low key and beautiful place with great restaurants everywhere. We will absolutely return during nicer weather. We had a lovely time.

Weekend Trip to Gateway Trails

Beautiful area! Hosts were exceptional. They are attentive and quick to respond if any questions or issues arise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to Navarre Beach Camping Resort

We had an amazing stay at Navarre Beach Camping resort. We stopped there for 2 nights on the way to visit my grandma for Christmas and it was better than we expected! We participated in the Christmas gift exchange, played games with other campers, and went to check out some of the beaches that were recommended to us by some of the staff! We will definitely return!!!

Weekend Trip to Navarre Beach Camping Resort

The cabin was clean and had everything I needed for a two day stay. I arrived late, so I appreciated that they left a package for me with my key.

Malakai 🏕 different by design

Welcome to Malakai campgrounds different by design 🏕 I purchased this land several years ago after a loss of a child a daughter her named was (little jo) JoLisa Marie Roadcap , it was a life changing moment, teaching me that family and enjoying of life is what it all about... so I want to welcome you here to Malakai for a peaceful and relaxing time, it's even a place that may help you heal from life hardships... At 5:30 just as the Sun comes up it is time for you to go out on to the deck and listen to the birds song 🎵 . As the Sun starts to rise on a new day ✨️ dozens of species of birds from the Great American Bald Eagle , To the endangered woodpecker, The blue herrings, bluebirds(we have mating pair that comes every year) blue jays, mocking birds, doves and several other species and occasionally a couple small black bears like walking through, we want you to have a peaceful and relaxing stay here while you visit everything,here at Garson Point were several species of carnivorous plants grow wild and our beaches have much to offer. It's official -- after 4 years of politics we are officially a park and a preserve.....9 acres of 🚶‍♂️ trails 👣 we are still constructing trails by hand I believe this place has a spiritual strength to people of all nations History of our location Count De Galvez awarded a land grant on Garcon Point to Antonio Garzon following his 1781 Siege of Pensacola in consideration of “his good services rendered as an interpreter to the Indians of Pensacola." The grant was held for 35 years before Maria Garzon, who survived husband Antonio, sold the land they called Garzon’s Point to Joseph (Jose) Bonifay. The land uses were favorable for cattle grazing and turpentining through the 1800s. Many more pioneer families moved into the area and began their own business in the booming industrial opportunities of western Florida. It came to be known as Yellow River Marsh State Buffer Preserve on June 12, 2000, when it was purchased by the state of Florida to protect rare and environmentally sensitive lands, plants and animals. Through generous donations, Preservation 2000 and the Florida Forever Program, more land was added to protect contiguous habitat of the Garcon Ecosystem. Today Yellow River Marsh Preserve State Park provides recreational opportunities for hiking and nature study along the Great Florida Birding Trail among rare and endemic plant species and within one of Florida’s oldest multi-cultural frontiers.The preserve is located in Santa Rosa County on Garcon Point, which separates Escambia Bay from Blackwater Bay. Nearly 20 rare and endangered species of plants 🪴 and animals make their homes along the bay and its wet prairies, dome swamps and flatwoods.
