Head to Pensacola for beach glamping and waterfront camping right on the Gulf of Mexico.
The westernmost city on Florida’s panhandle, Pensacola offers white sand beach camping and Gulf of Mexico waterfront adventures. Campers can visit south to Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Island to swim and scuba dive around the sunken USS Oriskany artificial reef and stay at an RV resort with full hookups nearby, or spend the night at Fort Pickens Campground on Gulf Islands National Seashore, where campsites have paved pads and electrical hookups. Wildlife enthusiasts also enjoy Blackwater River State Park, where osprey and bald eagles catch fish in the river and campers can use amenities like 50-amp electric connections, sewer hookups, potable water, and fire rings. Beach campers traveling to Pensacola in July or November can check out the annual Blue Angels show in town before partaking in endless waterfront entertainment around the city. With year-round excitement, Pensacola offers some of the best beach camping in Florida.
