The best dog-friendly RV parks in Gulf Coast

·

Stretching for around 670 miles, from the border with Alabama all the way down to the tropical Florida Keys, Florida's Gulf Coast is well-known for its cities and vacation areas, but it's also a great spot to get out into nature. Here you'll find white-sand beaches, wildlife-rich bayous, and mile upon mile of protected lands that provide sanctuary to a host of avian species. Camping opportunities in the region are endless, from state-run campgrounds to private RV to intimate Hipcamps, all just a short jaunt from many of the state’s most impressive beaches.

1 site · Tent, RV · Lithia, FL
Our site is located on a secluded pasture of our 6-acre family farm. We have free-roaming chickens🐔 and ducks🦆, two farm cats 😻 along with two friendly female doodles 🐕🐕that can often be seen exploring the property or chasing the ducks🤦‍♀️as well! We’re close to plenty of activities like biking, hiking, and kayaking, so you can stay active during your stay—but tucked away enough for you to simply be still and enjoy the peace and quiet. In other words, we’re perfectly situated for your ideal getaway. Our farm is just minutes from grocery stores and several restaurants, and we’re right in between the award-winning beaches of the Gulf Coast and the world-famous Disney World (and surrounding theme parks), with Tampa about 45 minutes to the west and Orlando just over an hour to the east.

The best dog-friendly RV parks in Gulf Coast guide

Where to go

The Florida Panhandle

The northwesternmost section of the Gulf Coast, this region offers a great mix of sandy beaches, marshes, and cultural attractions. Spots worth checking out include Big Lagoon State Park in Pensacola and Grayton Beach State Park in Santa Rosa, which offers easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and to a massive lake. Other popular spots in this region include St. Andrews State Park, where you can camp near the beach, and St. George Island, a sandy isle just off the coast of historic Carrabelle.

North Florida

Many of the less-developed beaches on the Gulf Coast can be found along its northern reaches, and much of this part of the state is preserved and protected by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's wildlife management area program. The area is also a great place to spot manatees, especially in spots such as the aptly named Manatee Springs State Park.

Central Florida

The central part of the Gulf Coast gets plenty of tourists, particularly in popular cities such as Tampa and Sarasota. Fort Myers is another hot spot, providing easy access to beautiful natural areas such as the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve and the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge.

South Florida and the Keys

You'll find some of the prettiest natural areas in the state at the southern end of Florida’s Gulf Coast, from the Cape Romano - Ten Thousand Islands Aquatic Preserve near Naples to the massive Everglades National Park. At the far end of the state, the Florida Keys feature a mix of developed areas and protected natural spots, including the Great Heron National Wildlife Reserve, where sea birds and turtles flock en masse, to the National Key Deer Refuge which, as the name suggests, protects endemic Key deer.
