Kayak from your site. But booked long in advance and not many pet friendly sites.

This campground is beautiful but it can be a little noisy and overcrowded. My husband and I took our dog on a walk and came back to find that our kayak paddles had been stolen. It's a nice place to camp and there is a dog beach but lock up your valuables and DO NOT leave anything unattended.

This is the dog beach accessible from the park. Most of the dogs there are off leash so be warned if your dog does not play well with others!

Make sure you explore Egmont Key while camping here. It's a short $20 ferry ride that leaves from the Bay Pier. Ferry leaves promptly at 10am during the longer days and they're now offering an afternoon trip at 2pm. Weekdays are best to beat the crowds.

Egmont Key is a great place to explore. It's a quick $20 ferry ride from Fort Desoto's Bay Pier. Leaves promptly at 10am so get there early. It's worth every penny.

Lots and lots of wildlife at Fort Desoto. Home of many birds of prey like this osprey. Bald Eagles, red-tailed Hawks, and great horned owls can also be found here.

If you want a fire/firewood I suggest stopping at Publix first. $10 a bundle here (Death Valley prices :-0)! Also there aren't any fire pits so you have to rent one for $3/night and they hold a $20 deposit on your card until it's returned.
