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

We had a lot of fun here at Fort De Soto. I travel in total with eight, my wife and six kids and one dog. Sites were very clean, staff was friendly, bathroom/showers clean and well-kept. The sites are tight and ours backed right up to the playground which was great for the kids. It is a five minute drive from the beach and dogs a... more

This place is beautiful, semi quiet since it is packed most of the time. I have stayed there about 20 times over the years. It is easy to get a spot on weekdays but weekends is terrible. Sometimes you have to move. I take my Kayak's and fish. I also take it out in the ocean since it is an Ocean Kayak but be very careful of the curr... more

This was a nice stay to get away from crowds and enjoy nature by the beach. Beautiful sunsets, many birds, funny raccoons, and some pests of course. Each site seems private. Staying at a waterfront site is very nice and worth it (on the west side). Sites are Sandy of course so you will track in sand, but that is to be expected. Laundry... more

Great campground! We had a beautiful waterfront spot. Quiet, clean, good facilities, spacious, could drop kayak in right from our site. Camped in a 41’ class A. Some low branches brushed the roof but did no damage. But then we’re 13’6” high... took some maneuvering to back in our spot as the feeder road is not very wide and lined wi... more

This campground is a great hidden gem. Well maybe not totally hidden since it does book up a lot, but it's a county park so maybe overlooked sometimes. But that's better for you!! It is surrounded with ocean views from most of the sites, with paved bike or walking/running trails to many more beaches including a specific dog beach just ... more

Gorgeous campsite on the water, they do charge $2 extra for waterfront, but it’s definitely worth it. Verizon worked well with our cell booster, but we could only use ATT at the camp store. Lots of bike trails and a beautiful beach to watch the sunset. Convenient to grocery stores and all St. Pete has to offer! Bathrooms were clean and... more

Background: this was the first place my soon to be wife and I ever camped (tent) together 45 years ago and the first picture ever taken of us as a couple was taken at the fort at that time, while I was in the USAF and stationed at MacDill AFB after returning from a tour in Vietnam. We were married a couple of months after this trip. ... more

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
