Bayside Campground

BEAUTIFUL area. Worth the drive. Bayside is more crowded than the Bayou side.. Absoulutely STUNNING sunsets. Definitely walk your spot before driving in. We found many broken bottles.

Great place to camp. Park ranger's very helpful.

Great campground by the bay. Partial shade great beach and very helpful manager. Permit required. Many sites empty each night because people make reservations and then don’t show up! A real shame.
Good dirt road in (4.7 miles) but stray onto verge with large RV, we saw one get stuck.

Very nice small campground with beautiful views of Blackwater Bay for “free” :) Great place to relax, walk on the beach (in low tide), and watch the sunsets. There are a couple of short trails (1/2 mile each) All primitive sites have fire rings and picnic tables; there are portable toilets and bear-proof trash cans. No potable ... more

This is a great free spot in the panhandle of Florida. It is about 25 mins from Navarre and Santa Rosa island. Site number 4 is the biggest and probably the best chance for generating solar. The nats are bad when there is no wind, luckily there is usually a breeze keeping them away. Like others have said, make sure to reserve a spo... more

Having come from Grayton Beach and Navarre Beach, I'd say this view was way better. And free! Fire rings, picnic tables, porta potty, and we'll defined and fenced in camping area. The view of the water is amazing. You basically have to wait until low tide to walk the small beach but it's worth the wait. There are also a couple of ... more

We previously camped here in 11-13 when it was known as Grassy Pt Cons. Area & was 1st come, 1st served. Much enjoyed our stay despite frequent no-see-ums Upon arrival 4PM on 12-1-17 we were surprised & disappointed w/ new rez system. Despite only 2 other rigs present, management said campground, now fenced off into numerous very smal... more

Our car GPS did not take us the right way, but our phone GPS did. The service isn't bad out there, so we were able to keep the phone using Google Maps going, and it took us right there. There are garbage cans, fire pits, and picnic tables. The spots are fenced in and clearly marked. It rained nearly the whole time we were there, bu... more

wow. What a gorgeous spot. Our site was right on the water. Cell coverage was great and overall the campground was clean and inviting. People respectfully used generators only until 8/9pm (which we appreciated) and the fire pit, table and trash service was greatly appreciated for a free site. Really quiet spot. Site is only available t... more

This is definitely a spot we'll visit again, but it has a few things that wouldn't make it perfect for everyone. On the positive side: well defined campsites, amazingly beautiful spot, near to anything you'd need. On the flip side: no alcohol permitted, ferocious ants and mosquitos, and a sometimes nightly barrage of artillery (not ... more
