Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park

White Springs, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Electric/water

We stayed here for two nights and paid $34.70 per night. We had pull-thru site 34. The campground is small and most of the sites have some privacy. Water and electric are available at the sites but there is no sewer hookup. There is a dump station at the entrance. We really enjoyed this campground. It was quiet and peaceful. They have a free museum dedicated to Stephen Foster, an 1800s American song composer of 200+ songs including “Oh! Suzanna”. The museum contains dioramas from the 1950s which are incredibly detailed and animated. The park also borders the Suwannee River. The town of White Springs is small but was the home of a sulfur springs resort in the 1800s so it was a popular tourist destination. Unfortunately, you can no longer go up on the sulfur springs platform. We did not camp here long enough to have a lot of recommendations on activities. Tip: When you reserve a site online, it may show up on your credit card statement as “Tyler Technologies”. (Dec 2023)

• Suwannee Hardware and Feed: They have tools, antiques, and a neat outdoor area.

Thousand Trails Three Flags

Wildwood, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full hookup

We stayed here for two weeks and paid $0 per night as Thousand Trail members. It was our first experience with a Thousand Trails campground. When we arrived, we were driven around in a golf cart to look at the available sites. We picked a beautiful site next to a cow pasture (site 148). The campground has many amenities including a recreation center with many community run activities, a pool, pickleball courts, a large laundry room, and a dog park. We received several text messages from management to ask if everything was going well with our stay. The campground was fairly quiet and the people were friendly. Many things to do nearby. (Dec 2023)

• The Villages, Brownwood Paddock Square: Live music every night in the town squares.
• Universal Studios: We really enjoyed the Harry Potter attractions.
• Kennedy Space Center: We watched a SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch.
• Ponce Inlet Dog Beach: Our boys loved walking on the beach.

T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula State Park

Port St. Joe, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full hookup

This is a brand new campground. We were told by the camp host that a storm wiped out the previous campground and the current one was built within the past year. It’s very nice. There is no shade from trees but the sites are spaced wide apart. We had site 14. There are tent sites with screened in platforms to pitch a tent. There is a 1.6 mile trail that can be accessed from the campground entrance. There are no views of the water from the campground due to the dunes but there is access to the beach. There are washers and dryers at each of the two restroom buildings. The park’s gate is closed at night so you will need a passcode to get in. We paid $39.72 per night. (Jan 2024)

• Apalachicola: A cute town with unique shops and restaurants.
• Port St. Joe: Another town to explore.

St. Andrew’s State Park

Panama City Beach, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full hookup

We only stayed one night at this campground. We paid $45.90 for the night. The campground is right on the water and we were lucky to have a site bordering the water. It was quiet and seemed well maintained. There is a locked gate to get into the campground which is used 24/7 so you will need a passcode. There are enclosed tent platforms. There is a big playground for kids and adults. They have a large checker board and corn hole. There is also a shuttle to Shell Island but we were not here long enough to explore. (Jan 2024)

Encore Southern Palms

Eustis, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full Hookup

We stayed at this campground for two weeks and paid $0 per night at Thousand Trails members. We stayed in campsite 777 which was on the edge of the property next to a residential area. The campground offered shuffle board, a pool, a gathering hall with a small library, and a laundry room. They offered a Wednesday night happy hour with two free drinks and chips. The campground was clean and quiet although road noise did not die down until after midnight. (Nov-Dec 2025)

Thousand Trails Peace River

Wauchula, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full Hookup

We stayed at this campground for three weeks and paid $0 per night as Thousand Trails members. We stayed in campsite F1. We originally had 3 separate reservations in different sites because of the newer Thousand Trails assigned site policy. We have never had an issue asking for a change in site or to have our reservations combined so we didn’t have to move. That is until this campground and their front office person, Morgan. She was very resistant, perhaps incapable, of looking at their schedule and figuring out a solution for us. Morgan treated us like we were irritating her and gave us a lot of attitude. We are so grateful that a few days later the property manager, Choula, was able to keep us in our site for the entire duration of our stay and did so happily. The campground is next to a major road so we heard a lot of road noise. It also seems to be a popular campground for people with children and their noise. We enjoyed the trails in the campground but there isn’t much to do in the immediate area. Sebring is the closest decent sized town and is a 45 minute drive. St. Petersburg and Tampa are about a 90 minute drive. We had 3 bars Verizon 5G. (Dec 2025)

Encore Pioneer Village

North Fort Myers, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full Hookup

We stayed at this campground for two weeks and paid $0 per night as Thousand Trails members. We stayed in campsite D3-14 which is a site on the edge of the property. A railroad track was behind our fence and we really enjoyed seeing some trains go by. The campground was quiet and populated by mostly older people. It is with an hour drive to many parks and tourist areas like Sanibel Islands. We had 3 bars of 5G with Verizon. (Dec 2025 – Jan 2026)

Encore Miami Everglades

Miami, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full Hookup

We stayed at this campground for 7 nights and paid $22.60 per night as Thousand Trails members. We stayed in campsite 223. The campground has a really nice putt-putt golf course, a deck where activities take place, a pool (closed during our stay), and a walking trail around the whole property. We enjoyed our stay and found the campground to be quiet and conveniently located. We had 2 bars Verizon 5G. (Jan 2026)

Bayfront RV Park

Islamorada, FL • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Full Hookup

We stayed at this campground for one week and paid $92.86 per night. We stayed in site 7 and really enjoyed our stay. This campground is small with only 11 sites. It was quiet except for music coming from the restaurant next door for two events they had there (one was a wedding and we enjoyed the music) but the music ended by 9:30-10:00pm both times. They have kayaks you can use as part of the amenities and you have access to Founders Park where they have a dog park, beach, sports fields, and free concerts. We had variable cell coverage with Verizon: 1 bar LTE to 2 bars 5G. (Jan 2026)
