15 Best Florida Beach RV Campgrounds (Including Beachfront!)

Are you looking for the Best Florida Beach RV Campgrounds? We've put together a complete list of the ones we like the most and can wholeheartedly recommend! 

Florida beaches make up some of the most unique and gorgeous beaches in the U.S., and friendly, accessible, and beautiful beach campgrounds for RVers abound.

We seek them out and return year after year.

With the breezy Florida vibes, the incredible beaches, views, and perhaps a margarita in your hand, Florida is very much a place to “get away from it all” all year round.

Ready? Here is our list of the Best Florida Beach RV Campgrounds:

Gamble Rogers State Park

This is at the top of our list because it is probably our favorite beachfront RV park in Florida. Officially, it's known as the Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area. It has two loops. On the west side of US-1 is a riverside campground on the Intercoastal Waterway.

But our favorite is the loop on the east side of US-1, right on the ocean.

Gamble Rogers is on an area of the North Atlantic Coast known as the Historic Coast, and it has absolutely spectacular beachfront sites just a few steps from the beach. The photo above is of our site, taken a while ago.

Campsite prices vary from $16-$42. (Always check prices before you go, as these can change.)

Here is a video we did of the region with lots of video of Gamble Rogers:

Grayton Beach State Park

Grayton Beach is in the Panhandle west of Panama City and east of Destin.

Its beach has gorgeous clear water and fine white sand. Book in advance for this one! Well-maintained sites with concrete pads and zen-like raked gravel among diverse plants and trees. All sites have electric-water hookups, picnic tables, and grills.

*Speaking of grills, all this beach talk makes me hungry for our favorite Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken Kabobs Recipe (w/ Easy Marinade)!*

The sites are not on the water, but the beach is a nice stroll or a short bike ride from your campsite.  There is potable water, flush toilets and showers, and a dump station. Nightly rates are $30, with a $5 fee to get into the park.

Always check those prices before you go, as they may change.

Henderson Beach State Park

Located right in the midst of Destin in the Panhandle and just a few miles west of Grayton Beach is Henderson Beach State Park. A magnificent 30-foot white sand dune separates the camping from the beach, but walkways make it easy to get to the water from the 60 campsites.

This typically books up a year in advance. That's what happens when you are one of the Best Florida Beach RV Campgrounds!

Another huge plus of this beach is it is close to excellent dining and shopping in Destin but is protected on all sides from businesses.

Fort Pickens Campground

This is located near Pensacola in the panhandle, right near the Gulf Islands National Seashore.

The general consensus is that Loop A has more spacious sites if that’s what you’re looking for. Otherwise, this is a great campground, with nice trails for hiking and abundant wildlife, and the beach is easily accessible.

136 of the 200 sites have electric hookups, with picnic tables and grills. There’s potable water, flush toilets and showers, and a dump station.

Nightly rates run at $40 depending. Senior and Access pass holders are eligible for a 50% discount on nightly fees. Again, double-check those prices before you go.

The beach is a short walk from your campsite. That's why it is one of the Best Florida Beach RV Campgrounds.

Camp Gulf

We are huge fans of Camp Gulf. It's a commercial park in the town of Miramar, a very desirable location along the Panhandle's Emerald Coast.

If you want to splurge on beach RV camping, this is the place to be!

What you’ll get at Camp Gulf, as one of the best Florida beach RV campgrounds, is crystal-clear ocean waters lapping up against white sugar sand. It is the full experience of living on one of the best beaches in Florida.

For this special access, be prepared to pay about $200 per night. For many, it’s worth it! It includes private restrooms and showers, a community room, two swimming pools, and a full-service camp store.

Note: they don’t allow pets.

Turtle Beach, Sarasota

This is a smaller but very cute campground with about 40 sites and beach access.

That means it is very hard to get in. But persistence pays off.

Located on the upscale and very beautiful Siesta Key, this is run by Sarasota County. A free trolley takes you into town if you can tear yourself away from the beach. Gorgeous sunsets here!

There are palm trees and shrubbery between the sites, providing some privacy and shade, and the grounds are well-kept. There is a restaurant across the way.

All sites have full hookups. Amenities include WiFi, flush toilets and showers, laundry, a playground and picnic area with grills. Nightly rates are $50-$60 or more.

Fort De Soto Park Campground

This is a highly-rated campground close to St. Petersburg, with some waterfront sites, and all sites have electric-water hookups. Snowbirds consistently rate this as one of the best Florida beach RV campgrounds.

Kayak on the water, or rent a bike from the camp store. You will find picnic tables, grills, potable water, flush toilets and showers, laundry, and a playground. Nightly rates are $40-$50.

It is run by Pinellas County and is huge – consisting of 1,136 acres made up of five interconnected keys. These keys are home to beach plants, mangroves, wetlands, palm hammocks, hardwoods, and scores of native plants. Each of these species plays a vital role in preserving and protecting the natural environment.

The campground is right near the beach, and there are many places to fish. Over 328 species of birds can be found here.

Key Largo Kampground & Marina

Right of US-1, the route from Miami to Key West, Key Largo is considered the gateway to the Keys.

Since this one is located along the marina, there is ample opportunity for boating and even kayaking among the mangroves. Their 171 sites all have full hookups, and there are picnic tables, potable water, flush toilets and showers, laundry, Wi-Fi, cable TV, a pool and a dump station.

Nightly rates run at least $100-$130, depending on how close you are to the water.

John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park

John Pennekamp is the country’s first undersea park, encompassing 70 nautical square miles. While many visitors view the park’s colorful coral reefs and teeming marine life on a glass-bottom boat tour, one can get an even closer look by scuba diving or snorkeling.

Canoeing and kayaking through the park's waters are popular activities; fishing is permitted in designated areas.

There are two beaches accessible to the 42-site campground.

This park is easy driving distance to Biscayne National Park and the Everglades. There are great kayaking opportunities, and snorkeling is available when the weather is nice.

With 42 sites, all have electric-water hookups. Amenities include picnic tables, potable water, flush toilets and showers, a playground, laundry and a dump station.

Nightly rates run around $36, with an $8 fee to enter the park.

Curry Hammock State Park

Near Marathon, FL, the motto for this place is Unhurried, Untouched, and Unrivaled. That's why it is one of the best RV campgrounds in Florida.

It sits halfway between Key Largo and Key West and is 1,000-acres in size. It is the largest uninhabited parcel of land between Key Largo and Big Pine Key. 

This is a smaller campground, with 25 sites situated in a loop. But if you can get in, you are in paradise.

Pets are welcome at the campground but not on the beach. This park is a favorite for kayakers and paddleboarders.

All sites have electric-water hookups, and each has a picnic table and grill. There is potable water, flush toilets and showers, a playground for the kids, and a dump station.

Grassy Key RV  

While this park is a bit on the pricey side, the views you will get are well worth it at this well-kept and clean RV park. Look at the photo above. See why it's one of Florida's best RV beach camping spots?

It is really an RV resort and has been recently renovated. It's on the Gulf side of Highway 1. There are spots on the water and even one coveted campsite where you are on your own little peninsula!

All sites have full hookups with picnic tables. There’s potable water, laundry, a pool, WiFi and cable TV.

Nightly rates run at least $90 – $230, depending on the time of year and proximity to the water.

Bahia Honda State Park 

This is just a few miles north of Key West on US-1, the Overseas Highway,

If you get a spot along the water, you can rent a kayak and set off for a relaxing afternoon of rowing right from your campsite. The staff is welcoming and the campground is clean. You can also snorkel and swim.

It's known for its iconic Florida scenery — palm-lined beaches, gin-clear waters, and magnificent sunsets. Visitors to the park enjoy balmy sea breezes that caress the shores year-round. We warn you, if you stay, you will return.

Hookups are electric-water, with a picnic table and grills. Amenities include potable water, flush toilets and showers, and a dump station.

Nightly rates are at least $36, with $8 to get into the park. Always check those prices before you go.

Boyd’s Key West Campground

Boyd's easily makes our list because it's one of Florida's best beachfront RV parks. It's been around for decades, and there is an awesome ambiance there, as well as the proximity of the water. Some sites back right up on it.

Here's a video we did of our visit to Key West and our stay at Boyds that will give you a great idea of what it's like:

Nightly rates are going to be at least $115-$225 or more, depending on hookups and location to the water.

The Jetty Park Campground

Jetty Park Campground is located in Port Canaveral Florida, where giant cruise ships arrive and depart throughout the day. In addition, submarines can also be spotted docking there.

And from the park itself, rocket launches from the Kennedy Space Center and Canaveral Air Force Station can easily be seen.

The Jetty Park Campground has multiple site options ranging from $30 to $60, depending on hookups, slabs, and time of year.

There is a free dump station. Check those prices, as things may have changed.

Here's a video we did that shows Jetty Park and the things we did in the area.

With no reservations at the end of February, we were able to snag a Jetty Park Campground spot with water and electricity, a grill, and a very weathered wooden picnic table. There was plenty of room, and it was relatively flat. The beach (no dogs allowed) is gorgeous.

HoHum RV Park

This is a small campground in the Gulf of Mexico in the area of the Florida Gulf Coast known as “The Forgotten Coast.” This is Old Florida. No highrises. No traffic.

HoHum is located just a few miles east of the tiny fishing town of Carrabelle and smack dab on the Gulf of Mexico. We camp here every time we can.

It has awesome views of sunsets over the Gulf and thus qualifies as one of the Best Florida RV Beach Campgrounds. 

CLICK HERE to read an article we wrote about Ho Hum

It’s a delightful little park. Nothing fancy. But clean, neat, and far from the overdevelopment that characterizes the Sunshine State's coastline.

To the east, there were a couple of well-spaced beach houses. To the west, nothing but wild beach, bordered by scrub pine. 

The park boasts a lighted 250-foot long fishing pier and a narrow little beach.  Pets on a leash are welcome in the park, on the beach, and even on the pier. Kids, not so much. It’s billed as an “adult-only” park.

Prices start at $40 or $50 a night depending on proximity to water and time of year. Please double-check those prices.

That's our list. But there is so much more! Our Facebook members chimed in on this one with loads of suggestions — see it here.
