The property was cute well maintained and quiet. Walk to tent sites is an adventure and there was a bear spotted while we were there.

Overall it’s a lot of work to use the primitive sites, and I would instead recommend booking one of the host’s glampers or RVs. The property itself is beautiful with private water access, but has constant noise from the nearby highway. We had a hard time hauling our stuff and walking over the wooden bridge, which is unstable and gets very soft in wet conditions. There is a nearby and well-maintained porta potty for the campsites and the shower is just a short walk back toward the parking area. The host was quick to reply to any questions and checked in on us after a thunderstorm. If you opt to use the primitive campsites here, be sure to pack lightly and bring a few citronella candles!

Stayed 2 nights, was nice n quit. They have a couple primitive tent sites and some glamping tents. Be cautious of the bears. Didn't have no problems but there was one spotted the first night we stayed. We stayed in a primitive tent site. It did rain n thunder the first night also n was pretty awesome to watch.

Easy to find, and exactly what I was looking for. The area for the 3 primitive tent sites and 2 Glamping tents was secluded enough that you felt you were in the wilderness but not so much that you were worried about not getting help or emergency services if needed. Each tent site had several places where you could set up and not have roots/rocks underneath you. Portapotty was close and clean. The garden shower was closer to the main site due to the needed access to running water. Everything was just as described and I did not feel mislead, no unpleasant surprises. Close drive to the main beach, restaurants, and stores. There were several bad thunderstorms while I was there and they checked with me to make sure I was aware and could let them know if I needed help.

Great experience, dogs had a great time in the water and it seemed very secluded. There was a cart near the entrance that made bringing our gear to the site very easy!

I loved tent camping at East Bay. The host was very nice and made sure we were happy. Great location with the bay down the path from camp and Navarre beach a near drive. A plus having a porta potty onsite and it was very clean. Will definitely be back if camping in this area again:)

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our three night stay here in the glamper! It was spacious and very comfortable and could easily accommodate a few more people but was quite spacious for us as a couple. The hosts were very easy to contact and were responsive to any questions. Brooke reached out the evening of our arrival to ensure everything was good with the site. There was also a picnic table, several chairs, and a fire ring to enjoy! There was plenty of space to feel isolated but close enough to town to enjoy that aspect of the vacation. The walk to the beach area was nice and there were even a few kayaks and a picnic table down there for people staying on the property to use! 10/10 would definitely come back here again and would recommend it to anyone!

The Glamper 2 at Bay Forest
If you are looking for an outdoor getaway and like to camp this is the place to book, we are so happy we did and will be back with more family! We brought our 4 year old and he loved it, especially the walk to the kayaks! The three tents are spaced out enough for everyone to have plenty of privacy! If staying during cooler weather bring proper attire at night to stay warm! The owners are super easy to get ahold of and if they are very helpful if you have questions about the area! We will be back soon!

This was an amazing retreat. We stayed for 4 days, 3 nights. The hosts were communicative and amazing even with a weather scare. Short walk to campsite and short walk to the bay beach. Ocean beach a close drive as well. There were kayaks and lifejackets for use by the bay, fire pits and chairs already setup, a clean port-a-potty close to the site, and several thoughtful amenities in the glamping tent. Honorable mention that the tent held very strong through a brief rainstorm. It was beautiful, relaxing, clean, and well-maintained. Would definitely come back!

It was so fun, and the land is so beautiful! We were delighted to stay in Hilary and Brooke’s glamper. They give you kayaks to go paddle around and a stove at the fire pit. It was really cool and amazing to experience Navarre.

What a BEAUTIFUL campsite! Easy access and easy instructions. Super close to Navarre Beach, quiet, felt very private and peaceful. The tent was so cozy with the comfy bed and through two thunderstorms, it held up extremely well and we stayed vedy warm and dry. The only downside is the walk to the tent. It is only about 2 minutes, but that feels long when you are hauling loads of things. Otherwise, gorgeous place with super good location and beautiful atmosphere.

Thank you thank you for such an uplifting glamping experience. We loved, loved loved the great fire pits. The tents were so great, especially during the rain storm we had. We thank you so much for being allowed to use the inside shower as it was so cold to use the outside ones. I would recommend your site to anyone asking Sue Sartor

The place was great. I did not realize that the primitive Camping was walk-in only, so when I got there, the assistant host made a spot for me even though all of the spaces were actually taken.

Awesome experience! Highly recommend and much needed for us. Short notice reservation definitely fit the bill. Very communicative and generous host was refreshing. Go enjoy life here and escape the day to day. You won’t regret it.

This is the most awesome place to Hipcamp in Florida. Brook was AMAZING! The best host I could’ve ever had. The place had great showers and the beach was just so beautiful. If I ever came back to Florida, this is where I would stay again. Wonderful campfire rings with plenty of firewood to enjoy a peaceful evening around a campfire.

Loved the stay here! Perfectly placed in the woods; wasn't super remote in nature, but definitely surrounded by nature and no one that could bother us directly which was nice. The glamour was great along with the fire pit.

This site was Magical! Hillary’s land was more than I expected. The tent was flawless with every thoughtful detail. Perfect location with well groomed trails all around. All instructions to the site were specific and accurate— I even found it in the dark. There was heavy rain during my stay- no leaks in the tent. Hillary even messaged to make sure I was aware of storms in the area. I loved easy access to kayaks and the bay. Close to all the best beaches in the area. I can’t wait to return.

The property is beautiful, very clean, and kept well. The camp sites are spaced out a fair distance, too. The small trek to the camp sites is fun, especially at night. If you need anything there are stores nearby, maybe 15 minutes away. The hosts are very sweet and attentive, respond promptly, and are very helpful. We will absolutely be back again and again! Thank you for having us.

overall it was cute little area to stay in for cheap! I would recommend a rain fly for over the tent to cover the "porch area." And some new seaming tape for the tent because it rained during our stay and a lot of our stuff ended up getting wet! The porta potty was incredibly clean, as well as the tent was also spotless!!! I would stay again!

If you’re looking for a beautiful place to go Glamping that has both the beauty of the forest and the beauty of the Ocean, Look no further! This place has wonderfully well put together camping sites. The tents are clean and put up correctly. They are large enough to accommodate a couple very comfortably. In Glamper 1 they put a shell wind chime in the center of the tent above the bed and when the wind blows it makes this beautiful hollow sound that literally will send you drifting to sleep. While the property is somewhat close to the road it’s pretty difficult to hear it from where you’re staying. The water is very close but the trees are so thick that you can’t see it from your campsite and is neat how you feel like you’re in a completely different world in the matter of a 2-3 minute walk. The Owners were extremely helpful and very accommodating. They made sure I had every thing I needed and I was able to locate my tent and was comfortable. This place is is going to be very popular I can tell.
I don’t live too far from here and plan on using this place more frequently for a quick stay-cation get away.

My family and I loved staying in the glamper. The scenery was beautiful and there were so many thoughtful little touches everywhere to make our stay enjoyable. Hilary took great care of us and was quick to reply to any questions.
All the paths were well marked, the potty was clean, site was clean and mowed, and the bed was very comfortable. The outdoor garden shower was a novelty and we all tried it! The glamper was definitely large enough to accommodate the two boys in their sleeping bags with lots of room to move around.
We enjoyed using the kayaks provided and our two boys fished all day yesterday.
It was a great stay and we will be back. I definitely recommend staying here.

Me and my family of 5(3 kids, 2 adults) stayed over the weekend at Glamper #1. Tent is a decent size for all of us, the walk TO the tent was a hassle but we expected it. Prepare to pack light or make multiple trips. There was only 1 chair available and not 3 like pictured on the pictures as well as no hammock like in the picture. Portable potty was clean and overall was good.

The land is beautiful! From the palmettos to the oaks. It took us a bit to acclimate, though it was nice being the only ones camping out there during our stay. Accessing the waterfront and using the kayak was worthwhile, along with witnessing the sunset over the water.
