Good Times

The fee sounds high but it gets you parking pass for all the beaches and access to the fishing peer which you don’t have to have a license because they purchased a peer license. So in reality it is a good deal the park is quiet the staff were friendly water side spots are very nice. Had a visit from the neighborhood trash panda but tha... more

Were blessed to get in here by booking on a Friday morning when they put up the 10% that is held back for Fridays - sites situated around outer edge of a peninsula with some pull-thrus in the middle - lots of palm trees and foliage for privacy and give it a tropical jungle-like feeling - very nicely maintained with easily accessibl... more

I was so happy to find a last minute site here, all the state parks on the west coast were booked. Our site was in the tent/pop-up/van section. Online it says only room for sixteen feet, not true, I think many of these spots could actually fit the length of an RV, just not the height it width. Our site, 29, was in the middle, but an ea... more

We loved this park of which the campground is a good base. Camp Sites: The outside sites were spacious with lots of trees and foliage between creating a private environment. The sites within a circle were a combo but we saw only 3 that were too open. We had site 80 which I would not recommend for class B or C camper vans due to a p... more

This campground really is magical. Even though we spent most of our stay working from our site, it was so beautiful and relaxing to be here. Reservations are tough to get, I booked in August for a January stay and still could only get weekdays and had to site hop once. If you go last minute they do have some walk in sites, and I did... more

We had high expectations for this park. Never had we visited the west side of Florida and were eager to witness the magnificent beauty we had heard so much about. Not our cup of tea. The traffic was horrible getting there, taking Highway 98 south into Highway 19 with stop and go traffic from Clearwater on. Highway 98 was beautiful comi... more

Get a site on the water! Great place!

We love to camp at Ft. Desoto and camp there several times a year. They offer water & electric hook up and have several dump stations. Sites 211-218 are some favorites if you have a Travel trailer or larger without pets. The Pet area has a few spots that are nice & on the water favorites are 135-138. With the cost for camping you get a... more

Ground is well kept and amenities are clean and in great shape. A pass to a he park and beaches is included in the price. Beach was voted most beautiful in the USA
Cerfew unforced after 10 pm

Beautiful grounds, sh*t people run it. The park itself has well kept grounds with beautiful camping spots. Sadly from the lady at the office to the grounds keepers all we got was redness. Everyone there seems to hate their job. Maybe because FL minimum wage is barely $8 and Florida is not a cheap place to live. Also be aware that g... more

Accommodations were good and facilities were clean. However, the neighboring site had an unbelieveably loud A/C unit set up (ran louder than my generator does) and it ruined the ambiance of the evening. Dinner by the campfire and a relaxing night turned into a headache. Would rate more highly if noise complaints could be addressed more... more
