The best dog-friendly RV parks near Dunedin

·

Dunedin may border the Gulf Coast, but it sits at the center of Florida’s action, with Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg all within reach. Start your Dunedin camping trip with a leisurely stroll downtown before you make your way to the scenic St. Joseph Sound. Check in to a beachfront RV campsite overlooking the Gulf of Mexico or a family-friendly camping resort along one of the area’s trademark lakes. If you’d rather maximize your time on land, linger instead in an A-frame surrounded by Dunedin’s signature pine trees. With so many landscapes in one area, Dunedin warrants more than just a detour.

Tarpon Springs Suites is beautifully landscaped to bring the charm of the Florida Keys to your stay. Our property and residences are meticulously maintained, ensuring a peaceful and comfortable retreat. While the beach is just a short distance away, you’ll feel like you’re already there. A unique historical fact: Tarpon Springs Suites and the surrounding neighborhood sit on the site of the old Tarpon Zoo. As you explore the area, you might spot remnants from this hidden piece of local history. Tarpon Springs is rich in culture and home to many landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places. The famous Sponge Docks and adjacent Greek community offer an authentic experience, with residents proudly preserving their heritage. Festivals, religious celebrations such as Epiphany, and cultural events are open to all. There’s no shortage of attractions—visit the Tarpon Springs Aquarium, Suncoast Primate Sanctuary, museums, theaters, art and music festivals, microbreweries, and pristine beaches. Outdoor lovers can enjoy waterside parks, salt and freshwater boat ramps, and the Pinellas Trail, just blocks away. This scenic trail runs from Tarpon Springs to St. Pete, offering an all-day adventure filled with shops, restaurants, and beautiful landscapes. If you prefer a relaxed ride, take the Trolley, which stops at popular destinations, including the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and the award-winning Clearwater and St. Pete Beaches. The private, fenced RV space features a 12' wide gated entry, accommodating a 45' motorhome, fifth wheel, or travel trailer. The parking area is made of limestone and crushed shell, providing a stable and level surface. Full hookups include sewer, potable water, and a 50 Amp RV receptacle with a breaker. If your rig doesn’t support 50 Amp service, adapters are available at Walmart (across the street) or Camping World (nearby)—please review photos of the receptacle to ensure compatibility. You’ll share a beautiful common area with guests of four spacious, pet-friendly 2BD/1BA apartments. The landscaped grounds feature a large picnic table, chaise lounges, tables, chairs, and a grilling area, perfect for socializing or unwinding. A large oak tree provides ample shade, creating a serene spot to relax and enjoy the Florida sunshine.

Where to go

Honeymoon Island

Here’s a must-see for honeymooners—or any camper with a yen for hiking, birdwatching, swimming, and exploring. Sure, your Dunedin campsite may already feel like paradise, but Honeymoon Island State Park takes Florida’s beauty a step further. Scan the sky for eagles and osprey and the shore for seashells. You’ll start your Dunedin camping trip with more than just a glimpse of its water.

Caladesi Island

Once you’ve visited Honeymoon Island, take the ferry to Caladesi Island State Park. Only reachable by boat, the park rewards all campers who pay it a visit, so come prepared for a full day of fun in the sun. Aspiring mermaids can explore the pristine waters of paradise by kayak or canoe, while leisure-seekers can soak up island vibes directly from the shore.

All around the lakes

Freshwater lakes surface all over Dunedin, from the smaller lakes in and around the city, to the larger Lake Tarpon on the periphery. Settle into a lakefront RV campsite, and sip your morning coffee with a stunning view. Come sunset, crack open a beer and grab your fishing rod. If you catch a big enough bass, why not make your dinner—straight from your campsite with a grill?

When to go

So much of Dunedin’s charm is in its location, so plan your camping trip to maximize your time in the water. Florida’s heat rarely falters, though you’ll want to keep an eye on hurricane season, which runs from late June through November. While you can certainly camp year-round, swimmers, boaters, and snorkelers should plan accordingly. If you do camp during the rainier months, an RV campsite or log cabin with wifi will better cover your bases.
